Bridge

We took a drive from CT down to the RI beaches, checked Yelp for restaurants, ended up at the Bridge.  Glad we did, food was realy good, it was a nice atmosphere sitting by the river watching people fish.   We had oysters, fish tacos, and a few specials on the lunch menu, all very good.   Definitely will be back again.   I only wish I had room for dessert, I heard someone else say the strawberry rhubard crumble was excellent.

I have been to this restaurant once before when they were called the 3 Fish.  Back then, they were a fine dining restaurant. I brought my sister and her friends for dinner there when they were visiting from Florida.  I can't say I remember how the food was though.  

Just had dinner there last Saturday with my husband.  I had a soda called Maine sarsaparilla and it was good.  Since this was our first time to the Bridge, we asked our waitress what their bestsellers were.  After she gave us a short list, husband decided to go with the lobster roll while I chose the fish tacos - both were good, although my husband complained that he couldnt pick up the roll because the bun was too small for the amount of lobster.  My fish tacos didnt come with fries or chips so I had to order the chips separate.  Both were good.

If I had to one critique about this place it would have to be the prices.  The soda I had came in a bottle and it was $4 - the order I put in for the house potato chips was $5.  Although the atmosphere is more like a family restaurant, the prices did not coincide with that atmosphere.

I really like it here.  I can't say it compares to what used to be in this space - The Upriver Café - but it's solid & interesting.  Cool menu, pretty brick bldg. but for me it's all about the outdoor deck, w/river flowing past on two sides.  Just lovely.
