We regularly attend Bridgewater restaurant, and are never disappointed. The service, ambience and food is always amazing. Many other restaurants can be good from time to time, this is what sets Bridgewater apart, consistently excellent. Clear reason it has been awarded every year since opening.

We enjoyed the 5 course menu. Trying new foods we wouldn’t normally order. Our waitress was attentive and explained each element of the dish. Nice view of the city bridge from the window table we sat at.

We were made to feel like the only people in the room from the moment we sat down until we left. The food was amazing in both taste and presentation, with every course leaving us eagerly waiting for the next.
