We have been eating at Pedro's establishments since the mid 1990's. The selection of spices used in the traditional Venezuelan cuisine is uncommonly good. The food tastes great, but is not spicy hot. The wait staff is always friendly and knowledgeable.

La Casa De Pedro is by far the best restaurant where my family and I have ever dined. We have traveled all over the world and I must say that this is by far the best food that we have ever tasted. I know that it may sound a bit exaggerated but it is true. Do not go past Watertown,... More

Food and drinks are very good and it's nice that dishes come with several sides. Dinners seem a bit overpriced.

This is a fantastic place. The food is unusual and very tasty, the service is friendly and attentive. The portions are large. The lighting is very dark so with my vision, I need a flashlight to see the menu, so go prepared if that's a trouble for you.

Delicious south of the border cuisine. Service is excellent and martinis terrific. A plus is steps away from the New Rep theater. On performance nights be sure to make a reservation!

This is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is just simply delicious, mouth watering! The prices are very reasonable, similar to what you’d pay for a restaurant in the city, except parking is not an issue as they have a huge lot and the location is huge—great pick for a birthday dinner if you have a large crowd.

We were attending a benefit performance and needed a nearby restaurant prior to the event. Luckily, we happened upon Pedro. The front desk was welcoming and sat us even though our entire party had not arrived. We were told of the evening's entertainment: a band starting at 7PM and a different band at 10PM. We thought about skipping our benefit!... More

Creative mexican/american style food. Nice bar atmosphere. But, this is not the top restaurant in Watertown. Try Stip-T, Red Lentil, Porcini's, Stellina's first.

Went to Pedro's because it was near the theater we were going to. House speciality was different than the usual fare and very tasty. Everything my family ordered was great and these people are typically whiners. Nice looking restaurant and not noisy. Finally, the drinks weren't the usual overly sweet, light on the alcohol ones that you always get at... More
