My husband and I were up again from Portland and found ourselves wandering the Riverwalk out towards the Bridgewater. We weren't in the mood for a full dinner, but happened to show up right as happy hour started. What a great place to lounge next to the river (the weather was wonderful so the patio was open) and we got... more

Loved it!

We recently ate here on atrip to the coast. The food was comforting and reasonable priced. The staff were knowledgeable and upscale. Great views and a very historical feeling dining here. We loved astoria and we will be back for drinks and food at The Bistro.. Geat Bites!!! more

Having read glowing reviews about this place since it opened, my wife and I had dinner at Bridgewater for the first time last weekend. The entry to the restaurant opens to a dining area filled with casual-contemporary, bare table-tops and chairs, with a bar and stools at one end of the room. Nice view and all, but the space looks... more

We had 1-day in Astoria and hit up a local gentleman right away on where we could grab a great cup of chowder for lunch. He suggested BRIDGEwater Bistro. We took his advice and had lunch there and were happy we did so. This establishment suited the likes of both my husband and myself; he an architect, and I am... more

I've been to the Bridgewater many times and I always leave wishing the food could somehow match the view! It certainly does not! Go there for soup and salad and wine. That's all i can suggest for this restaurant with a lovely salvaged wood floor and a beautiful view! Way too much fried tasteless food being prepared (and served!) here. more

Management response from
Tony Kischner, Co-owner

We are always sorry to hear that anyone's dining experience was not up to their expectations. We wish that the reviewers had spoken up--we would have gladly steered them to the many items on our menus which are oven-poached, roasted or grilled. Besides the mentioned soups and salads which are available all day, our menus include 22 small plates/appetizers available...

We were so excited to try out this new restaurant, having experienced the fabulous food and service at Ann and Tony Kischner's previous restaurant. Wow-- the seafood was cooked to perfection and such a diversity of flavors and presentations. I loved the ambience-- so close to the bridge, offering a unique perspective of the mighty Columbia. Everything baked at the... more

My husband and I hadn't been back to the Bridgewater since right after it opened 2 years ago. We decided to take a trip back and enjoy one of their wine dinners! It was an amazing night. Bill Hatcher (CEO of A to Z winery, Rex Hill Vineyards, and the Bill Hatcher label) brought amazing wines (8 wines total) which... more

Went there last night for dinner after reading reviews on tripadvisor. What a beautiful restaurant, with the exposed wood, and lots of windows providing natural light and a beautiful water view. I was surprised it was not busy at all on a Wednesday night at 7:30, but had no need to be concerned. The food was excellent and served quickly.... more

I have been fortunate to visit the Bridgewater Bistro several times now and have been pleased beyond my expectations every time. To be able to get a meal with that caliber of food and service consistantly is a rare, yet appreciated find. And then to throw that view in there is a bonus. I have really appreciated having great food... more
