Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Bridgewater

Nice sitdown spot in the Bridgewater Commons. Good food, and staff was knowledgeable. Cutlery that was provided was slightly dirty (cleaned it with the napkin), otherwise everything was good.

Met a friend for a wonderful lunch in a beautiful building with an amazing setting. Service was wonderful and very attentive. Great salad. I will come back.

Outstanding as always! The perfect way to end the week!

This was a delicious, relaxing experience. All the staff were welcoming and helpful. :)

Prior to COVID, we dined at Ryland Inn ten or more times a year. They have been closed for some time but recently reopened and since we were visiting the area, booked a reservation. While it is no longer the amazing farm-to-table menu, the food prep was very impressive. Tom, our bartender, was very knowledgeable and professional. We knew the previous team very well and he would have fit in nicely. He made my Sazarac beautifully. On to dinner: Skip the wedge salad- while trying to be clever, the red leaf lettuce wasn’t properly washed and much too gritty. Too bad- the blue cheese and bacon were excellent. The salmon (special) was perfect. As was the shirt rub and grits. Wines are very pricy. So we opted to order by the glass and found a very drinkable Cabernet. We both ordered the crème brûlée for dessert which was creamy and delicious. So, while not the same Ryland inn we were accustomed to, it is still very good.
