We enjoyed the Sunday Brunch very much. The menu was diverse while highlighting regional specialties. There was a wide variety of egg dishes ranging from oysters and eggs to a delicious eggs and mole. The view of the Columbia River and Astoria-Megler bridge from any table in the restaurant is fascinating in any weather but truly spectacular on a clear... More

We walked here from the Canner Pier Hotel for lunch. They have a nice selection of soups, salads, and sandwiches. Alot of the tables look out over the water which is really nice. They have a fireplace if you'd like to stop in for a drink which we did later in the evening. Great warm nightcaps! Service was really good... More

We walked to the Bridgewater Bistro from our room at the Cannery Pier Hotel. The restaurant has a very nice, warm atmosphere and the service was second to none. The food was excellent! My husband had the Bison Brisket and I had the Prime Rib. The meat was cooked perfectly and the sides were delicious. We don't eat brussels sprouts,... More

The french onion mushroom soup is the best soup I have ever eaten! Great consistency, lots of portabello mushrooms and a cheesy crusty topping! Service is friendly and efficient. And the view is great even on a cloudy day. 5 stars!!! More

This has been restored from a boat house into this beautiful waterfront restaurant. Ask the hostess for the photo book that shows how the building originally looked and the restoration process. The food was good although expensive. We had a small meal with no drinks and the bill was still $50. I do recommend the chili lime shrimp - the... More

I ate here twice on a recent trip to Astoria. The food was so good I had lunch (an open face salmon sandwich with olive tapenade) and then returned for dinner. Dinner was a crab cocktail and king salmon with chanterelle mushrooms in a crab and butter sauce. Yum! I highly recommend this restaurant. More

Yesterday we took my daugher and her boyfriend (first time to Oregon) to Bridgewater Bistro for lunch before heading to the airport in Portland. The dining room is so beautiful, the weather was cold and the fire was glowing as we walked in. Prime Rib Sandwiches, fries with 3 dipping sauces, turkey sandwich and pastrami sandwiches were all wonderful. The... More

New Year’s Morning Breakfast. Despite a number of "sick today" calls by the staff, the service and food were wonderful. Homemade Hash from the previous night’s prime rib was wonderful. A wonderful rustic interior from a restored cannery building sets the tone for dining along a waterfront. Don’t miss this one. Located right under the Astoria Bridge near the Cannery... More

We were duly impressed with Bridgewater Bistro! We were looking for a quick place to grab a bite to eat staying at the nearby Cannery Pier Hotel. We figured "well... there's a bistro... we'll just grab a burger" only to be completely surprised by the extensive seafood entrees they had available. We did not have a reservation (didn't realize we... More
