We saw the mixed reviews and knew we were taking a risk but it was so close to our hotel (the wonderful Cannery Pier) that we decided to take a chance for the sake of convenience. I knew we were in trouble when I noticed an unappealing fish odor as my salmon dinner was placed in front of me. Definitely... more

Recommended by Cannery Pier Hotel. Probably would have preferred the more basic Fort George Brewery after a visit to the friendly & excellent tavern near the hotel. In October at 8.00pm the place was pretty empty. Looks a little pretentious & it was. But: Not unfriendly service. Not unpleasant food. Not much praise that!!! For what we got I thought... more

My wife and I visited Bridgewater Bistro the weekend of October 24 and 25th. This was our fall-back choice for dinner - our first choice was unexpectedly closed for the weekend. We had a little trouble finding the entrance from the parking lot - I thought it was for the adjacent wine shop. So we walked around the building and... more

Being from the SF bay area in California, Astoria is a quiet town with not much to do. When we were there, however, all the motels were filled. It was a hard time trying to find a place to stay. I was quite shocked because as appearances go, it doesn't look like much. But come fishing season, the places fill... more

Our food was excellent, the view of the river from our window table was beautiful and the ambience of the place is very nice. This is a casual elegant sort of restaurant, with a decent wine list and full bar, and we'll be back. My only gripe was that we were clearly taking our time and enjoying our meal and... more

A little hard to find, but well worth the effort. Great menu, wine list and ambience. A friend recommended this and we were not disappointed. A little pricey for the area, but a quality experience all around. Right at the Oregon terminus of the Astoria Bridge, but no water view. Still, what more could you want? Lots of choices, seafood... more

I just ate at Bridgewater Bistro 25 minutes ago (honestly I can RIGHT back to my hotel, and wrote this review, I felt that strongly) The place was very nicely designed, the view memorable - but sadly that's the extent of the nice things I have to say. The service, was fair, but when I had an issue with my... more

Management response from
Tony Kischner, owner

We accept that not everyone may enjoy a particular preparation (though the Moroccan chicken and the French onion soup are two of our most popular dishes with our regulars) but we are very sorry that this diner wasn't able to register their complaint while they were at the restaurant so that we could get them something that they would enjoy.

The food and service were very good. Prices were a bit high, but portions were good sized..The chanel under the Astoria bridge is close and we had a good view of several ships that went by while we were eating. more

Many unique and innovative offerings on the menu and the quality of the food was excellent. We especially liked the option of smaller or shared dishes and hope that more restaurants in this country will adopt a focus on quality rather than quantity. The chili-lime prawns were fabulous and the fruit pastries were a special treat. We plan to return... more

The food didn't match the web site. I was looking forward to great scallops. crab chowder was bland. weak drinks. Service just OK. There was a large group before us, maybe that had something to do with the disappointing meal. more
