Nice choice of entrees from burgers to fresh fish, many available gluten free. Floor to ceiling windows offer an unobstructed view of the Columbia River and fascinating river traffic

One meal was a good experience, but our second dinner was a could care less affair. Both the food and the service exemplified we could care less about you, your experience, and what you ate. Sadly, the poor experience sticks, and we will make the effort to go somewhere less convenient in the future.

On a recent vacation from B.C. to Oceanside, Oregon, we ate twice at this wonderful place. We went there the first time because I had seen the restaurant listed on a gluten-free dining site and because we happened to be staying at the dog-friendly Holiday Inn Express nearby. Our server suggested that since we had our dog with us, we... More

We went here for a lunch one day. The food quality that they serve seems of very good quality. No cheap prepackaged, reheated items here. The pan fried oysters were excellent. Also the salad with the pears and deep greens with blue cheese was very flavorful. They have a high rating they seem to deserve it. I would say this... More

The fish and seafood are excellent, as is the wine list. Dinner for two with wine, dessert and tip about $120.

While staying at the nearby Cannery Pier Hotel, we dined three nights at the Bridgewater Bistro. We had excellent views of the Columbia River. The fresh seafood was amazing. The staff were so friendy. Would you believe our waitress even remembered which wine we had ordered the night before? We would go back in a heartbeat.

After our bad experience with northwest wild foods we went to this bistro. The service was very good and so was the food. We had wild cod fish and chips which was prepared excellent and tasted very good. The freshly made muffins and lemon curd were wonderful. I had the pancakes which were also very good. Really liked their coffee.
