From the jump everyone was super kind. The ambiance was amazing, and very much a Friday night bar. Upstairs was really cool, there was plenty of room for groups of people. They had games like connect four and ring toss. The upstairs bouncer was very chill and accommodating, he was awesome to talk to! The food was really good, and surprisingly tasteful for a bar!

We ate our late lunch on Saturday around two. We had a very cheerful server (but not over the top), and she was very pleasant and efficient. I had Cubano sandwich. It was not the best I had, but it was very tasty. It was somewhat loud in the restaurant with a large crowd, and I had some hard times carrying a conversation even with my hearing aids. I thought prices were moderately higher compared to similar eateries. Enjoy!!

The watermelon arugula feta salad with salmon was perfect for a hot day. They served a great prosciutto flatbread as well. They have a nice set of hard-to-find beers on tap. Nice atmosphere and comfortable areas to sit.

We hosted our family reunion at Bistro on Bridge and couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, the team made everything easy and enjoyable. Kevin, our event coordinator, was an incredible host—friendly, attentive, and even captured a fantastic group photo of our entire family! Nanette set up the party beautifully and was so helpful throughout the event.
The food was delicious, the setup was seamless, and the atmosphere was perfect for celebrating. We highly recommend Bistro on Bridge for any gathering or special occasion. They truly rocked it for our reunion!

This was our first visit here. Our waiter was kind enough to give us a sample for different beers upon request appreciate it. We ordered a big bottle of sparking wine but they served us the smallest one and then accepted that they goofed up. We ordered for Mexican fries which was on their today’s specials but as you can see the picture the cheese was already melted and the fries were cold didn’t really like the taste of it. Later we ordered regular fries too and it was almost burnt and very oily couldn’t take a picture but it tasted really bad. We ordered chicken wings and it tasted awful too wasn’t fresh enough and the chicken tasted stale. The only ok starter was the General Tso’s Cauliflower. In the end we were billed for 7 people while we were 4 and an item that we never ordered for. So folks do check your bills before you pay and always ask for a receipt. After two days of escalation the hotel responded and refunded the wrongly charged amount. Definitely not going back here again!!!

Great place that is huge and has a rooftop bar and music on the weekend. Drinks were cold and really good. More craft beer choices than I can name, and the pomegranate mule with titos was refreshing and tasted great. Happy hour 4-6 pm Monday through Friday, which also included shuck for a buck oysters,very good as well. Jenny, our bartender, was friendly, helpful, and another reason to come back. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed. Update:Came back again on our trip to PA in 2025. Great again! Tanya was great behind the bar, friendly, informative, and great service. She’s a gem for sure. All the drinks, pomegranate mule, apple pie sangria were outstanding. The oysters were good as always, and for a buck each, outstanding. Philly cheesesteak egg rolls weren’t good, but after we switched out the Chipotle for marinara.

Super cute and chic interior and exterior. Perfect location on Bridge Street. Our server Abby had great recommendations. The food was phenomenal, as was the atmosphere.

First time at the Bistro on the Bridge, ordered blackened salmon BLT. Salmon was a little dry, the blackened topping tasted like burnt Old Bay seasoning. A tiny piece of shriveled avocado and the remnants of a piece of lettuce and half slice of tomato in between toasted (hard as a rock) bread. I opted out of the chipotle aioli and asked for a side of mayo (and was charged charged .75) but they did bring a bottle of ketchup (for free) The Applewood smoked bacon was hard to even chew.
I drank it down with a can of cider (I had to go to the bar to ask for a glass)
The Vietnamese Pho bowl was good but very hot from the chile peppers.
The Espresso old-fashioned was good.
We sat in the front window on metal chairs (on a very cold, windy day) the wind was blowing through the wall so bad I had to put my coat against it to stop the cold.

We went in for dinner and had a decent night. The service was great. I don’t usually leave reviews but our server made sure our drinks were full and checked back often! She did not give a name but had long brown hair (sorry that’s the best I can do!). Last time I was there I got bad service so I wish I knew her name! She was seriously on top of everything. Our drinks were a little inconsistent. The first round was perfect but our last was off. A different bartender made that round and I’m not one to complain about a drink being too strong but mine tasted like it was filled almost to the top with liquor lol. Not a horrible thing but it took a minute to drink. I was a bartender for years so I get it, it happens, but I wasn’t the only one at our table who had that issue.

Looks like a great place to eat, great atmosphere. Inside is rustic and live music is being played. I sit down to eat and order nachos and chicken waffles. And a lemonade drink. There are no waiters, just an app you order from with a qr code and servers to hopefully find you based on where you are sitting.
The food was served to me without the ordered drink, and when the nachos were served a plastic side cup of BBQ sauce was spilled onto my shoe. This plate was literally a thin black stone slab, which serves as a more esthetic choice than a functionial one. As the nachos could slide off just as easily if held wrong.
As I remember the official name were the short rib nachos, they were extremely sweet. And was paired with a horse radish sauce that didnt tast very good.
Whatever whipped cream that was put on the chicken ans waffles was a white melted runny sauce by the time it got to my table. I didnt end up finishing that.
I then walked over to ask for a bar manager to see if I could have some help with the accident that had happened earlier. They recommended club soda and a rag to help clean the stain, I declined.
The upstairs bar manager had said she applied a discount to my order. Upon checking it was a discount of 3 dollars.
My tab was set at 40 dollars for the full meal of nachos and the chicken.
At this point I had gone back to the 1st floor asking the front desk for a manager. After talking with her I was able to have the nachos comped from my meal. ($15)
It was an accident, but as far as first impressions go its safe to say I’ll pick another spot to eat.
