Thank you, Bridgewater Bistro in my birthplace, Astoria, OR, for creating a truly unforgettable experience for my mom’s 81st birthday. From the beautifully prepared appetizers, cocktails, and entrées to the thoughtful, special dessert that marked such a meaningful milestone.
The staff was exceptional, extending warmth and care that went far beyond expectation. Paired with the inviting ambiance, the gentle glow of the fireplace, and the breathtaking view of the Columbia River just beyond the window, the setting felt both elegant and intimate!
It was a lovely afternoon that was unhurried, heartfelt, and full of gratitude, spent celebrating my precious mother (who lost her twin, my irreplaceable Auntie Bettilou months ago) in a place that made the moment feel truly special. Thank you for such a memorable experience.

We don’t normally eat somewhere twice when visiting a town but Bridgewater Bistro was a definite exception to that rule! We went on a self appointed chowder walk through town and a couple recommended the bistro for their gluten free menu so off we went. I’ve never had gluten free fish and chips at a restaurant so had no idea what to expect but let me tell you, absolute perfection! So much perfection we went back the next night for more and if we were in town any longer, we would have went back again! The first night since we’d already had several cups of chowder on our walk, we skipped the soup. Boy did we regret that decision after having the Hungarian Mushroom soup our second night, it was rich and decadent with an earthiness that we couldn’t get enough of! Service both evenings was top notch, genuine and attentive. The restaurant is warm and cozy while being modern and updated with gorgeous views of the Columbian river. Highest of recommendations to Bridgewater Bistro!

I love the food here. It is always very good. The service is good. The views are amazing. Thank you for the wonderful food and service. You use to get bread with the soup. Now you have to pay $4.00 for it. They fried oysters are the best I have ever had. Next time I go I will order 20 of them.

Amazing experience overall!
Great flavor and beauty! Service was very attentive and sweet, but maybe too attentive? They came by very often to help!
The flavor of the food was good, but my critique is that the bistro food was a bit oily.
Loved the music choice and the views of course 🙂

This was my second time here. I ordered the clam chowder & roasted beet carpaccio. Husband ordered the brisket. Everything was excellent. The brisket was very tender. The beet carpaccio was a good portion as a main dish for me, or an appetizer for two. The cup of chowder was lovely with a hint of curry. Waitress was nice. For dessert, we had the cheesecake and lemon posset. I loved my dessert. The texture & flavor of the posset was great. I didn’t care for the berry sauce because it contained seeds, but that’s a personal preference I’m sure. I think it would be better with a seedless reduction or a “sauce”. It’s a bit expensive, so be prepared to pay around $35-$45 for an entree.

First time going here. Made a reservation online just to save time waiting and grateful I did. Went for a small solo dinner and overall really good experience. My waitress was Katy, she was very friendly and had no problem giving me the extra time I wanted to decide on something to drink. I brought a book with me and my headphones to drown out any conversations, but regardless the ambiance was great. They had some music playing, the natural light by the window I requested to sit at in my reservation was beautifully clear and I was able to enjoy looking out at the water. I tried a different take on a desert and simply wasn’t a big fan. Katy was extremely kind and said I could try something different if I wanted. Overall a nice evening and I will definitely go back.

Tasty lunch at this riverfront eatery. Had the grilled salmon sandwich. Great blend and not over spiced or cooked. Nice, efficient staff on this day. Terrific view of river and huge grain ships passing by.

We’d been on the road all day and found this place right behind our hotel.
Walked in about 30 minutes before closing (I usually hate doing that), but we had to try it!!
Staff was really cool, super friendly, & professional, no weird vibe about us coming in late. Food was legit. I asked for lemons and our waitress actually cut fresh ones for us. She also made sure my daughter’s allergy was covered, explained how everything was cooked, and answered every question. Solid spot.

Amazing location and great service. I simply didn’t enjoy the food. I got the teriyaki braised beef on sticky rice, and the rice was served almost refrigerator cold (apparently that’s how it’s supposed to be served), but it was just too grainy and crumbly to be enjoyed.

Restaurant Review: Bridgewater Bistro – Astoria, Oregon
We visited Bridgewater Bistro on Father’s Day, and while the restaurant was clearly caught off guard by the holiday rush, we feel it’s important to share both the challenges and the highlights of our experience.
It took well over an hour for our meals to arrive, which was understandably frustrating. However, we acknowledge that this delay was likely due to the unusually high volume of guests on a busy holiday, and not reflective of their usual service standards.
That said, once the food arrived, it was well worth the wait. The meals were delicious, beautifully prepared, and showcased a creative and unique menu. The flavors were exceptional and clearly crafted with care. The service, while slow due to circumstances, remained attentive and friendly throughout.
The ambience of the restaurant is truly outstanding—charming, upscale, and perfectly suited for a special occasion or relaxed fine dining.
Despite the delays, we would absolutely recommend Bridgewater Bistro. We recognize that our experience was impacted by the holiday rush, and we believe the quality of the food, atmosphere, and staff more than made up for it. We look forward to returning on a quieter evening to fully enjoy all that this exceptional restaurant has to offer.
