The restaurant is an old cannery and has been converted beautifully. Large planking floors, high ceilings and a gorgeous selection of wines and spirits displayed everywhere. Enjoy NW Bistro inspired fare from our scratch kitchen with a dynamic, breathtaking 270 degree waterfront views from the main floor or mezzanine levels.

    I decided on halibut and should have selected salmon. Salmon is still my favorite in Oregon.

    I really like Bridgewater Bistro and won't stop going there, but last night's meal was just not up to par. The chef absolutely ruined a really nice piece of hailbut, overcooking it and making it tough and tasteless. That's kind of unforgiveable in a town that knows fishing and fish and how to cook and serve fish. The thing about BB is that some things are absolutely great and you can count on them being great every time: the calamari, the bouillabaisse, the bread, the desserts, etc. But then there is that inconsistency that mainly involves entrees and must be the responsibility of the head chef. Boy do I wish that that inconsistency could be corrected! Otherwise,the hospitality, the ambience, the friendly, welcoming and very comfortable atmosphere are all so good, the table waiting is usually very good. But every once in a while there is that clunker entree that makes you wonder what's going on in the kitchen with the head chef.

    The Bridgewater Bistro was a perfect place to have lunch with a friend. Or even alone! The views are beautiful. The inside of restaurant is rustic wood and homey with a stunning fireplace and cozy place to sit. The menu offered fabulous choices. I thoroughly enjoyed the seafood cakes of the day with the spicy sauce. The mushroom soup was yummy and the cranberry salad was full of flavor and texture. I indulged in the trio of desert special and was very happy with my choice. The coffee cheesecake was my fav but the lemon posset was creamy and delicious too. The Kahlua silk pie was very decadent. Overall an amazing meal with very affordable price. I felt like I was on a cruise eating the chef's dishes while watching the water float by. Definitely a place to return and enjoy. I'm sure it's very romantic at night!
