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

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.

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

A fairly new restaurant that would impress you in most major cities; but especially in Astoria. The interior is impressive and the view of shipping on the Columbia River is great. We ate lunch and very much enjoyed the Oyster sandwich with pan fried Walapa Bay oysters, the Salmon burger, and the salad with grilled salmon. All were very well... more

I was very, very, very disappointed. Let me tell you why: The service was terrible. Our plates, once we were done eating, sat in front of us for over 20 minutes, when someone came to take them away they didn't offer us coffee or dessert (we'd been at the table over a hour and a half a that point). The... more
