  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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.

    Our server made for a very memorable experience. The food was excellent. A lovely environment I do hope music is brought back. We always count on an excellent meal at Bridgewater bistro.

    Very good food. Great selection, especially if you are gluten intolerant. We have eaten here several times and have always been very satisfied. If you are looking for a nice place to eat, with a lot of selection, I highly recommend the Bridgewater Bistro.

    Very friendly staff and lovely location. GM is very involved and knows his regular customers and treats others special. Top level place for Astoria with an amazing wine list. Pricey for their higher quality entrees, but very reasonable for lunch sandwiches. Larger open dining area with a great view. They know what they are doing.

    Lovely evening meal with a view of the river. Piano music played while we enjoyed a leisurely time. Sirloin tips and shrimp cocktail were delicious. Entrees were well-presented and flavorful. Halibut Fish and Chips are my wife’s favorite here and it was her birthday. Orange cranberry sorbet was a novel treat for dessert. Miguel provided unhurried service during the early dinner hour.

    What a great restaurant. It’s right in the water with spectacular views. Made watching the sunset fun. The staff were friendly and the food amazing. We would definitely go there again if we come back to Astoria.

    We loved the mushroom soup and service. The short rib on the other hand was as a chiluck roast would be before hours in the crockpot. Very tough and very little flavor. Disappointing as we drove out of our way 3 hours to have what used to be an amazing dining experience.

    Lovely restaurant with the most beautiful view. The service was friendly and prompt, the menu interesting and the food very good. Well look forward to coming back in the summer and sitting outside on the deck. This is the restaurant experience we’ve been looking forward to in Astoria!

    Had a very nice dinner with friends - the view from the table was great and so was the food. We really enjoyed the piano & bass duo playing they added a wonderful ambiance to the evening.
