Looking for a new American restaurant and bar to check out? Look no further than this new arrival. Called Maddi's Cookery & Taphouse, the new addition is located at 64 Water St.
According to the Worcester Telegram, Maddi's is the second restaurant for chef/owner Adam Hicks, who's also behind Milford's Depot Street Tavern.
