We took a drive from CT down to the RI beaches, checked Yelp for restaurants, ended up at the Bridge. Â Glad we did, food was realy good, it was a nice atmosphere sitting by the river watching people fish. Â We had oysters, fish tacos, and a few specials on the lunch menu, all very good. Â Definitely will be back again. Â I only wish I had room for dessert, I heard someone else say the strawberry rhubard crumble was excellent.
Review Source:I have been to this restaurant once before when they were called the 3 Fish. Â Back then, they were a fine dining restaurant. I brought my sister and her friends for dinner there when they were visiting from Florida. Â I can't say I remember how the food was though. Â
Just had dinner there last Saturday with my husband. Â I had a soda called Maine sarsaparilla and it was good. Â Since this was our first time to the Bridge, we asked our waitress what their bestsellers were. Â 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. Â My fish tacos didnt come with fries or chips so I had to order the chips separate. Â Both were good.
If I had to one critique about this place it would have to be the prices. Â The soda I had came in a bottle and it was $4 - the order I put in for the house potato chips was $5. Â Although the atmosphere is more like a family restaurant, the prices did not coincide with that atmosphere.
I had gone when they first opened and was not impressed but we just went last Monday for lunch and loved it. Â The staff was great. Â They had a fixed price menu of $15 each which included app, entry and dessert per person. Â It was a ton of food. Â Amanda nachos are fantastic. Â Chicken burrito and fish tacos are good. Â Apple fritters and bread pudding were great. Â Looking out at the river is always a nice plus. Â I would highly recommend and look forward to going for dinner soon.
Review Source:I got the Coconut Curry Tofu for dinner. I was glad to find a vegan option in the area, but it was pretty bland and needed salt and seasoning. It was really fresh though and the service was friendly and quick.
From a vegan perspective, this is the only vegan friendly place I could find in the area. Items are clearly marked on the menu.
I'm confused as to why the Bridge has such high ratings. Â When I went there, first of all, I waited quite some time before someone came to the front to seat me. Â Then I ordered a gin and tonic and got a lot of tonic and very little gin. Â My lunch was a burger, cooked medium (at least that is what I ordered). Â I was given a burger that was burned on the outside and raw on the inside. Â The waitress then proceeded to argue with me and tell me that it was cooked medium. Â She never refilled my water glass unless I flagged her down. Â When I got the bill, I was charged for an appetizer I never ordered! Â It's such a shame that Up the River Cafe closed down and this mediocre restaurant replaced it. Â Save your money and don't cross this Bridge.
Review Source:We kind of just stopped here on a whim. Â Okay, maybe not entirely because we did check Yelp ratings first but I'm glad we did. Â
Started with some oysters, they have a nice selection that changes daily. Â They were fresh and tasty. Â Moved from there to an apple and walnut salad they had as a special (which was also good) but best of all was my entree.... Â I had the pan roasted cod. Â It comes atop spinach and polenta. Â It was perfectly prepared and nicely presented. It was delicious! Â
Bridge is kind of a cool place with a nice bar area and although it wasn't open, they have a nice outdoor patio over looking the river. Probably a nice spot in the warmer weather. Â
If you're in Westerly, stop in... You won't be disappointed.
We had a lovely lunch here recently and enjoyed the atmosphere and water view. The staff was friendly and professional and the food was good.
I had their falafel wrap which was bit bland and needed some more yogurt sauce and chopped tomatoes- a little on the dry side.
My husband had their Cobb salad which was delicious but a tad over-priced for the size of the salad. After having amazing salads on the West coast for years that are a good $5 less it's tough to be over-charged for the small portions you get here.
The homemade potato chips were delicious and just needed a little salt.
Best cup of coffee we have had in a long while in a restaurant. Definitely will be back if we are ever in the area again.
Johnny and the East Coast Rockers were setting up in the lounge when we arrived for our 7p dinner reservation. We were seated promptly at a nice table near the second lounge, just heading towards the outdoor patio. The recessed lighting was warm and just right for an evening dinner. I noticed soft ambient music playing in the restaurant while Johnny's band was setting up. Jeff, our waiter, was friendly and attentive. He knew the specials and the menu well. We put our drink and appetizer orders in. I had New England clam chowder, super good; lots of clams, potatoes, creamy, and we all shared the buffalo chicken nachos. Not your run-of-the-mill nachos. The buffalo sauce drizzled over the homemade potato slices was incredibly good. I didn't eat the chicken (I'm a pescetarian). Specials of the night were Maine Steamers, Fluke, Bluefish, and a Beef Tenderloin over Fettucine. We ordered the Beef Tenderloin special, Dave's Gumbo, and I had the Glazed Salmon over Mashed Sweet Potato and Garlic Roasted Brussel Sprouts. The Gumbo and the Beef Tenderloin were a hit for our friends, as it was their first time at Bridge. My Salmon dish was delish. The salmon was cooked just right, and the glaze was just enough. I love brussel sprouts anyway, but with roasted garlic, I highly recommend! Sweet mashed potato is perfect with glazed salmon. The band was really good. Not too loud from where we were sitting, playing a New Orleans kind of sound. Jeff was prompt through out our whole meal, rounding it out with an Americana coffee after our meals. Bridge is especially nice in spring and summer, My husband and I like to ride our Harleys down and sit out on the patio, overlooking the Pawcatuck River. You'll see ducks and swans every once in awhile, taking a stroll with their babies along and in the river. My all time favorite time to come to Bridge is for Sunday brunch. The whole menu is fresh and eclectic, vegan and vegetarian friendly.
Review Source:I can't believe I have never written a review for this spot, it is one of our favs! Been here many times since our accidental discovery a couple years back. While we particularly like the deck in the warm season, the inside with its big windows and fireplaces is nice too. Weekend entertainment is always good. Who can beat the $2 Narragansett's? We have enjoyed many a good meal, my husband is a fan of the fish taco's and I seems to frequently fall back to the burger but can safely say that we've never had a bad meal.
Review Source:I have lived and worked in Westerly for three years now and the bridge is by far my favorite restaurant. With great places like Bridge to eat and drink, I don't even know how crappy chain restaurants like Applebee's and Domino's are even able to pay their overhead.
Every time I go to Bridge the service and food is excellent. I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal there. I am a vegetarian and love their eclectic menu. They are not the cheapest place in town, so I don't go there if I'm looking for a cheap night out. They compensate for that by having weeknight specials.
The bar area can be a little noisy for dining, but is still a fun bar scene. Bridge is definitely worth the price, especially since there aren't any annoying kids or vacationing families eating there. When we do a bar crawl,we start with dinner and drinks at Bridge and them hit the town from there. Can't beat the location!
My husband and I had our wedding rehearsal dinner in their upstairs function room, which was smaller than I thought but more than enough to accommodate our 25 attendees. It also has its on bar They did everything possible to make the night before our wedding relaxing and enjoyable.
I also recently held a surprise party there, and they helped me keep the secret under wraps until the moment our guest of honor walked in. By that, I mean that when we walked in and told them we had a reservation, they didn't blow my cover by saying "party of 19" or anything like that. It was a fun night and the service was great as always!
Thanks Bridge, we are moving to California soon and we will miss our favorite spot in Westerly!
We have been to the Bridge many times. The food is usually excellent. The winter menu is more limited (no crab cakes). Â French fries are outstanding but if you want more salt you have to ask as there are no salt or pepper shakers in the cute condiment buckets. Â Some appetizers are too costly: Â The Amanda "nachos" are potato chips with cheese bacon and Frank' s hot sauce for $15. Â Burgers are fabulous according to my husband. I ate every piece of the skirt steak with demi glace on our latest trip. Â Food overall is fantastic. Â
Space is tight in the dining room and there is a river running right by the outside dining. Â This is NOT a place for children on a beach vacation. Â Do us all a favor and take them to Burger King up the street.
After last night's meal, I'll give them five stars. The trick is... you have to eat in the lounge.
We got there at around 7:30 and a band went on at 8 playing acoustic covers of nineties pop and alternative rock songs - they were fun. The older man wearing a hat and clapping / dancing to the music was great, too... you rock, whoever you are.
Appetizer, we had spinach and artichoke dip and I tried their cheese and beer soup - both were awesome.
I had a burger, medium rare with jalapeños and an over easy egg on top and it was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. It was my first time eating their house potato chips and they're a nice take on kettle chips.
That girl I got married to (wife still sounds weird) had the best version of the coconut tofu curry yet.
And we both had a lot of malbec.
Waiter was attentive and friendly, the place was loud and fun.
I've been here weekdays and weekends - days and nights. Food is delicious. Seafood options, burgers, sandwiches, salads and appetizers for snacking as well. Super nice bartenders and servers. Always have a full glass of water and constant satisfaction. It's great for a family lunch, romantic dinner or drinks with friends. Can be a little noisy if they have live music but its been great music every time I've been there. Great location-right on the river and on the outside of downtown Westerly and 5 minutes from the beaches.
Review Source:we have eaten at previous incarnations at this same location - because its a terrific spot on the river (housatonic i think?) started with our fave cocktails - dark and stormies (not everyone makes them!) and progressed to delicious meals of skirt steak and fish tacos. Nice, helpful waitstaff and a good, all-around vibe and attention to detail. definitely go back
Review Source:I love this place. I can't judge on the food because I haven't tried it, but I've been here for drinks a couple of times and have had A+ service, tasty drinks and an awesome atmosphere. With the rustic feel inside and the beautiful views outside, it's really the perfect place to grab a cocktail (or a few) and catch up with friends. I will definitely be back!
Review Source:I've been to Bridge several times and at varying times during the day. Â Lunch is very good, but nothing outwardly special. Â Dinner is my favorite time to visit. Â At my most recent visit, I ordered the ahi tuna that was one of the night's specials... it was AMAZING (my compliments to the chef because it was some the best tuna I've had)!!! Â The atmosphere is always nice and the patio on the water is a nice place to chill if you're not in the mood for live music at the bar.
Review Source:The best part of Bridge is the location! Our party of 11 sat outside in the evening and enjoyed the amazing ambiance. The staff was great, especially with our large party. They had good, creative drinks too. I got the Dark and Stormy, a combo of rum and beer, yum! My friend had a watermelon margarita which was also good. We give it a 4 out of 5 though because she felt her fish and my clam chowder could've been better seasoned. So, not quite and A+ on food, but I would come again.
Review Source:Great atmosphere for a nice family meal. Â We all enjoy going to Bridge whether it's for a burger for the kids, or mussels for us. Â I'm also a big fan of their mushroom ravioli- it's truly delicious & light enough that I don't feel like I need a wheelbarrow to get to my car afterward. Â
When the restaurant gets crowded, service definitely suffers, but we try to avoid the crowds when possible. Â
Tasty food, lots of vegetarian options if you care about such things... but best of all, tasty food!
After a lovely day at the beach, my friends and I were looking for an outdoor dinner experience a little trendier than all the seafood spots around Misquamicut. The Bridge was perfect. It's a cute, hip restaurant located on a picturesque river in Westerly. We picked this spot because it offered both vegetarian and meat-eater options, and we couldn't have been happier. From the delicious, warm bread they bring out in the beginning, to the good wine selection, everything was great.
We started with their heirloom tomato and mozzarella special. It was delicious! A little pricey at $11 especially considering my entree was $10, but it was seasonal and worth it.
We got a bottle of the Vinho Verde, which was right on point for a hot day. Two of us ordered the black bean burger, which was completely fresh and homemade. It had a great bite to it, and the guacamole and pico de gallo condiment was great. My two other friends got the fig/brie sandwich and the felafel wrap, and both were just as happy.
Only complaint came from the one member of our group who ordered the steak. He and the friends that tried it all said it was pretty flavorless and unseasoned. At $20-something, it wasn't the restaurant's best moment.
All-in-all we left happy and satisfied. Our waitress was great -- very knowledgeable and helpful, and the restaurant had a really great vibe. Definitely go if you are a vegetarian or looking for local food! I will certainly go back.
My family stumbled upon this restaurant one day while we were in Westerly. From The outside appearance it looked perfect, the serene outside patio on the lake, with shady trees and a few scattered umbrellas. Next I looked at the menu and I was hooked, being a vegetarian I got overwhelmingly excited to see multiple delicious sounding vegetarian entrees. However I became overly disappointed with the meal I had.
I ordered a lemonade, thinking it would be a delicious homemade concoction after looking at all of the delicious alcoholic drinks they served in mason jars. However my lemonade was minute maid and tasted gross, I could get much better at Unos or a chain restaurant. For my lunch I ordered a cup of gazpacho (a favorite of mine) and the fig & brie sandwich. The gazpacho was not very good, it was blended up and made my stomach sick after a couple of bites. I love my gazpacho to have chunks of vegetables and to be light, but this cold soup was not very refreshing. My sandwich was another letdown, brie being my favorite cheese I was super excited, but could barely taste the cheese. There was soo much sugary fig jam on the sandwich that it highly took over the sandwich. I could not even finish it, it tasted like candy, I wanted lunch.
I went ahead and tried my sisters falafel wrap and found the flavor of it not very delicious and the wrap its self was very greasy. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal, but I was awfully disappointed. The chips that accompanied our sandwiches were good, but greasy and needed something to dip them in because they were lacking flavor.
Even though the atmosphere was beautiful, our waitress was not very pleasant. She seemed very rude, my mom said it was because it was 4th of July, but I don't think that it a good enough reason to be rude to a customer. I took off 4th of July for my job! Even though the meal I had was not very good, I intend to go back. Hopefully the restaurant can redeem itself, maybe I ordered the wrong items off the menu. With so many vegetarian entrees on the menu, I have to give it another try.
Nice Place. Great outdoor seating, cool inside vibe - like the bar with the raw bar. Main bar has place for local live music. All around, nice place to go and enjoy. Food was good, not great. Waitress staff efficient, very friendly and made you feel welcome. Ask for Jessica,
Receptionists - well when I call to ask if they have a waiting line and told no..so I say I am on my way, Then when I get there I find out they don't take reservation, which they told me on the phone but they do take names for priority seating I wonder "what the?" we just called and said we were coming directly from the beach! So we didn't get a outside table but did get a great corner window view. Its the little things that make a good experience.
If your in the area heading to / from the beaches , Newport or Watch Hill - its an good option.
We like going to the Bridge because it has a nice ambience and it has a nice view overlooking the Pawcatuck river. Â The standard menu has a lot of variety, but tonight I decided to order one of the specials, fried whole belly Ipswich clams. Â When the waitress, who was very nice and pleasant, brought them out, my first thought was they were a bit skimpy on the clams especially as an entree, maybe ten or twelve on top of fries. Â Then I got the bill and saw they were $28!!! Â I asked the waitress if that was really their price and she said "well, the clams were Ipswich". Â I am very particular about fried clams and will only order the whole bellies and have never paid over $20 at any restaurant, Ipswich or not. Â The waitress offered to speak to the manager to see if she could have the price adjusted, which was very gracious. I told her I wasn't looking to pay less, but just wanted to provide feedback that I thought it was overpriced and would never order it again if that was what they were going to charge for it. Â She spoke to the manager any way, but came back and said he wasn't going to lower it. Â We'll still go back to the Bridge, but it won't be for the fried clams. Â So, Buyer Beware.
Review Source:Dinner here recently with the family was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and one that turned out to be a mighty good one.
The parking lot was packed but even so we were able to get a table for the 4 of us without waiting. My wife loved that we were seated right next to the roaring fireplace so that was another bit of good fortune.
We started with house made corndogs, which are tasty little sausages made in the kitchen and given the corndog treatment, served with a chipotle sauce and an aioli dipping sauce. They were delicious and I liked that the place doesn't take itself so seriously that they have them.
The teens loved the draft rootbeer, and my wife and I were very happy with the selection of beers.
Entrees were very good - I had salmon which was delicious, the others had skirt steak and fish and chips, which were all very good but not great. Service was flawless, with no looking around wondering where the waiter was, nor being pestered every 2 minutes. Good pacing for food coming out of the kitchen and our waiter was well-versed in the details of the menu, being able to describe dishes in detail, and accurately.
Son number 2 had apple crisp for dessert, and he loved it. My wife had a few bites and said it was pretty good but could've done without the allspice. I didn't try it so can't say.
I was very happy with the quality of our food and the whole experience was great. So why not 5 stars? The food was really good, but lacked that little bit of whatever to put it into 5 star territory. I look forward to going there again soon.
Traveling in the area, the locals recommended this restaurant. We were not disappointed.
Had my first fried scallop and it was fantastic! I was expecting the tiny ones and ended up getting the large diver scallops.
We also had the calamari appetizer. It was very good with the pickled peppers.
Service was also great, definitely try if in the area and sit outside on the deck overlooking the river.
The other night when our favorite restaurant was closed for a special function we tried Bridge again & weren't disappointed. Â I've seen mediocre reviews before & our first trip didn't blow us away but we wanted to try it again.
First off, the owners did an amazing job with the interior. Â The place is beautifully decorated & the views of the river are amazing. Â There's a nice long bar & the lighting is perfect. Â Our food was pretty good too.
My wife tried to fish tacos which had a myriad of condiments to compliment the fish. Â Everything was freshly prepared & oh so tasty. Â I got the crab cakes which were the best I've had. Â They weren't soggy or dry, just perfect, with a little kick. Â I had no problem finishing my entree & even got to polish off my wife's.
Our only regret was that we didn't leave room for desert. Â We will be making a future visit & can't wait to try more of their offerings.
i'm editing my review to 5 stars.
why? everything there i've had over several visits has been consistently excellent. BIG portions, BIG menu, WONDERFUL mixed drinks (mint chocolate chip martini, drool), very fresh, beautiful presentation.
i haven't had the steak, so i can't comment there. but it's a great space with a great big deck and a big indoor sit-down and stay-a-while coziness that matches well with the food. service could use a little help, but maybe they're working on it. :)
I really wanted to like this place more than I did. Â The decor and menu are really nice. Â The drink menu (and we sampled more than a few of them) is a work of art. Â I imagine that if you are just going there for drinks, Bridge would be awesome (watermelon margaritas YUM)
I ordered the 16 oz sirloin special when I was told that they were out of the the rib eye on the menu. Â I can't say anything good about my meal, but can't say anything bad, either. Â The steak was a bland piece of meat, the roasted red potatoes were the same red potatoes you've ever gotten with a steak that came with roasted red potatoes. Â
Our server, Daniel, did a great job (he noticed that the food runner did not give me a steak knife and gave me one w/o me asking)..afterward, we had more yummy drinks on the deck. Â I look forward to trying Bridge again!
DECEPTICON!!! Â Â Â Â Â I use this reference to describe this restaurant because it is truly a crappy experience hiding an a sexy decor and appealing location. It provides for a great atmosphere but sub-par food at expensive prices. One of those places that you try really hard to overlook the short comings.
Food:
I had a fish taco which was made with Sword Fish..
     -Sword Fish in my opinion is to fishy for a taco.
     -taco was soaked and soggy making hard to eat.
     -fish that was fried was soaked.
     -overall bland.
Service:
In May of 2011 we visited Bridge on good recommendation. We were looking for a spot for our rehearsal dinner for September of 2011.
     -Met with GM made reservation. in May
     -Were told there was a minimum of $1600 (we were planning on canceling at this point)
            (~$1600 for 15 people- That is 106 per - person!)
     -Was then called in June by a different manager telling us that there was no minimum and that   we  still had a reservation
            (~ we then proceeded with reservation.)
     -The menu is seasonal so we were contacted in July with the seasonal menu.
     -Contacted them in August to talk about the menu and they don't have our reservation and now there is a $1200 minimum..
It is amazing to me that in this economy there is still a minimum for restaurants like this... along with the fact that there is a minimum for a group as small as 15!!! I've SHOWED UP at a restaurant with 15 no reservation and no problems.
Bridge we really tried... but the food was sub par and the service was even worse.
I can only in good conscious recommend this place for grabbing a beer.
They have vegetarian options - and I don't mean the frozen gardenburger type! I had the black bean burger. The taste was dominated by the guacamole and onions, so it's hard to judge the burger's flavor on it's own. Â Overall, I enjoyed it. Â
The omnivores with me also liked their meals: a Reuben, fish sandwich, & oyster po-boy.
Love the idea of a restaurant right over water and the patio is a hot spot. Waited 10 minutes to get a seat in and realized that I didn't have my ID so I couldn't have a beverage :(
The Buffalo Tofu Bites are yummy but the blue cheese dressing made the dish. I like the vegetarian selection but the sandwiches we ordered weren't that amazing.
Because it's near the beach, expect families out for the day. We had an annoying kid with lax parents pester us while we were trying to eat.
It seemed kinda busy (except not really) for our server, and we saw the food runner more than our actual server. Not a big deal because I am willing to try this place out again with booze involved next time.
I came home to RI this past weekend and was taking the train into Westerly. At that point I did my legwork to try and find a place in the area that would could have dinner. That's when I came across Bridge. After looking over the menu I was extremely excited! The vegetarian sandwich caught my eye and I couldn't even wait to give this place a try.
We went on Friday night, so I made sure that I called to get a reservation. When we arrived we were going to be taken to the upstairs seating but since my grandmother was going to be joining us I quickly asked if they had a table downstairs, which they did and they were able to accommodate us.
My parents and I arrived first and the service was attentive, our waitress, Amber came over and asked if we wanted to order any drinks but we started with water. Soon thereafter the rest of the gang showed up. My parents ordered the bridge-arita which according to my mother (who has the best margs ever) said it was very good. My grandmother got the chocolate martini which was only $4. Talk about a quick and cheap way to knock yourself on your ass!
For apps my dad got the wedge salad and my brother got the new England clam chow-dah. It was nice that they offered both version of the chowder but if you know anything, you always order new England. Both enjoy their apps.
So now it finally came down to the moment I had been waiting for. There are four vegetarian sandwich's options on the menu. I knew I could count out the falafel pita but one knows that Pick Pockets has the best falafel so we don't mess with that. So that left me with the option of a portabello sandwich, black bean burger or bbq temph. I first asked if they would be able to make sliders of all three. Strike 1. I followed up with what is your most popular vegetarian sandwich, Amber told me it was the black bean burger (which is baked in the oven and then finished in oil which was okay by me, I do preferred all baked though.) Strike 2. So I ordered the black bean burger. Good size portion, topped with guac and jack pepper cheese. I skipped the bun. Now a good veggie burger doesn't fall apart, this fell apart and the flavor was was very boring. I was totally let down by this, and shocked that it was their number one. Strike 3: not going with my first instinct and ordering the BBQ temph burger. I also subbed in sweet potato fries for the home made chips.
The rest of the table had: fish tacos, halibut, scallops, and the chicken "BLT." The fish tacos were okay but don't compare to our go to at the Mist. If you LOVE fish tacos and want to have the best fish taco ever, go to the Ocean Mist in Matunuck.
The scallops, were deep fried and served with fries and coleslaw, my grandmother thoroughly enjoyed them. But 5 scallops that were decent sized for $22 ... worth it? No.
The Halibut was reallly good, a really generous portion of food for only $16. Maybe they mixed the pricing up.
The Chicken "BLT" you're standard grilled piece of chicken with lettuce, bacon and tomato. But my brother enjoyed it. The home made chips came with this meal and they are pretty tasty!
Then the table decide to share a piece of chocolate cake with mousse layers. I had a very little bite, I love chocolate, anything chocolate and was not impressed by it.
The service was good and attentive but overall it wasn't what I thought it was going to be. And for 6 people a tab of $150 for what we got for food I also didn't think was worth it. Maybe my whole experience would have been different if I was sitting outside overlooking the river .. but I wouldn't bank on it. Can't say I'll be back anytime soon!
We've been here for lunch three times. Mostly because: it has beautiful outdoor seating on a nice deck over the river. This aspect forgives almost all other sins. Some other things:
1. Service has been inconsistent. Okay, actually, they have messed up at least one thing from our order every single time. But they've been very kind about it, and quickly amended the mistakes.
2. The chicken club (without bread) was great--the tomato perfect, and the chicken very flavorful.
3. The fish tacos are pretty good (flour tortillas) but made with swordfish, which is a little too strong for a fish taco, in my opinion.
4. They have a nice wine list, and beer selection (even Redbridge gluten-free beer!).
5. The spring salad is also pretty good--but watch out, the fried egg is fried in bread crumbs.
6. There are signs that you can take your dog to their patio for "yappy hour"--dog-friendly!
In sum, sitting outside on the river is so lovely, you won't mind if your food isn't entirely perfect, or delivered as you ordered it.
Fish taco's overflowing with stuff awesome presentation, Dave's Gaspacho was as thick as it gets loaded with meat and seafood. Â and the flounder was cooked to perfection. Â Took my parents out to dinner and had a great evening sitting up against the windows overlooking the river. Â
highly recommend. Â and if it is warm out grab a seat in the middle of the river on the deck.
I was very impressed with the food and service at Bridge.
The ambiance is lovely; warm colors wide wood plank flooring, old pictures of Napattree Point in the bathroom--which thankly was very clean and fresh smelling.
For food we started with the mussels app. They were well done in a wine shallot sauce, with bread for dunking.
For a meal I had the fish tacos; the menu didnt sepcify what type of fish they were--i guessed sword fish. They were really good, messy with a slighly spicy aioli sauce.
I would for sure go back and recommend to a friend
Despite a precarious ratio of seated tables to staff, service was smooth, timely and very professional. Â Though I was standing at a vacant waiter station a few minutes feeling a bit nonplussed before seeing anyone, it really just seemed short handed. Â And despite that, throughout the meal, service was spot on.
The food was great, too. Â I ordered their deconstructed pot pie. Â I was pretty amused. Â And the chicken was done very nicely! Â It was deboned of all but a leg, cooked perfectly, butter beneath the skin- One of the better prepared pieces of chicken I've had. Â I also splurged and ordered an appetizer, desert and an espresso and found my total at only $35. Â Pretty good for such a satisfying meal.
I went to The Bridge on Christmas Eve. It was my third visit in about 8 months. I went by myself while I was waiting for the house to warm up (I just came down from the Boston area).
On all three occasions, the food has been very good. This past summer I spent a very pleasant Sunday afternoon sitting with one of my friends on the deck overlooking the river. We snacked on appetizers, I had a coffee and my friend had beer. On my first visit, I sat at the bar, ate my dinner, chatted with the bartender and left very satisfied.
Christmas Eve - the kitchen had already closed, so I settled for desert - a very nice Key lime tart and a cup of coffee. I sat at the bar - a different bartender this time. I had a chance to say a few words to her.
I did experience one minor problem not worth describing in detail here. I discussed this with the general manager and it was resolved to my satisfaction. Enough said.
I'll come back to Bridge. The food is good. Pleasant atmosphere. Considerate staff.
