Watchman's

"Several full-service restaurants have already reopened for limited dine-in service over the last two weeks, including the patio at Watchman’s Seafood." - Beth McKibben

"Krog Street Market ownership is currently working with the various food stalls, like Fred's Meat and Bread, Little Tart Bakeshop, and Gu’s Dumplings, and full-service restaurants such as Superica, Ticonderoga Club, and Watchman’s, on how to safely reopen for limited dine-in service." - Beth McKibben

"Miles Macquarrie steps back behind the bar at Watchman’s Seafood and Spirits, focusing on mentorship and training for the bar team. Watchman’s offers Caribbean-inspired and French-forward cocktails and sustainable seafood. The restaurant is adapting to a younger clientele at Krog Street Market by revamping the menu to include shared appetizers, hors d’oeuvres, and a holiday-themed cocktail menu." - Laura Scholz

"Daniel Chance stepped down recently from the executive chef position at Watchman’s Seafood and Spirits to attend to family matters. But, owner Bryan Rackley says the restaurant is in good hands and making a smooth transition under the direction of Trey Rayburn (Kimball House, C. Ellet’s Steakhouse) and his sous team of Jacob Armando and Brad Mess (Kimball House). All three chefs were on the opening team for Watchman’s and plan to make only “subtle changes” to the menu. Rackley also expects the menu to change more frequently." - Beth McKibben

"Watchman’s Seafood & Spirits is a restaurant designed by John and Vivian Bencich, known for its clean lines, crisp and breezy color scheme, and personal touches throughout the space. The restaurant aims to provide a more accessible and casual atmosphere with distinct spaces that flow together seamlessly. The design features reclaimed wood floors, custom tiles, lush ferns, and plants hung throughout the dining room. The color scheme draws inspiration from the ocean and shorelines, creating a seamless flow with distinct spaces. The restaurant also features an intimate alcove for dining, custom wallpaper, and a bar with dim lighting and warm tones. The owners, Bryan Rackley, Miles Macquarrie, Jesse Smith, and Matt Christison, emphasize personal details and a strong friendship with the designers, making the collaboration a 'labor of love.'" - Beth McKibben
