bridgewater bistro

it may take a bit of poking around to find this red building nestled under the impossible to miss bridge, but it is worth any exploration needed to get there. entrance is near the "bridge end" of the building.

reservations recommended.

they have a very nice selection of small plates, and we had a couple of those along with a salad and dessert, all of them very nicely done and reasonably priced. service was great. a live jazz trip (thursday, friday, saturday, i think) was a nice added touch, but that my have increased business, so we were barely able to get in without reservations.

it sits right on the water's edge, and has a beautifulviewof the river, and the bridge which is there, but not overpowering.

a nice treat, in a very nice town.

this is a great restaurant, with great food, aviewand excellent wait staff.  we had a reservation and that scored us a nice window seat on a beautiful sunny evening. this stop we both had something to drink, i had a fort george cavatica stout, which comes with the can since the can is fun, and my wife had the cherry hard cider on tap.  they were both good.  i opted for the special appetizer as a starter, scallops with a chimichurri sauce, which was great.  my wife had the peninsula cranberry salad and also loved it.  because of the chimichurri with the appetizer i opted for the puerco pibil, which is a latin american pork dish, and it was excellent.  my wife had seared ahi tuna "ah poivre" and loved it.  we were not done, we checked out the desserts and decided to try a trio. we both wanted to try the habanero-lime cheesecake, which was good and had a kick at the end so half of it each was a good idea.  my wife wanted to try the raspberry white chocolate bread pudding and really liked it.  i wanted to try the chocolate "bete noir" and also really liked it.  we will be back.

amazing place. we rented out the entire restaurant for a wedding reception. there for around 110 people and cannot say enough about this amazing restaurant. first, the owners, ann and tony, are so wonderful. they were so easy to work with and really willing to do anything to accommodate us. second, the location over the water is breathtaking. with all the windows andvieware really unbeatable. third, the food is outstanding. my wife and i have eaten their around a dozen times and have loved everything we had there. finally, their staff is top notch. they were all so friendly, attentive and really took care of everyone.

great choice!. stopped in on consecutive nights on a late august fishing trip. kept it simple the first night with burgers, salads, and a few glasses of very nice oregon and washington wines. exceptional! the next night it was wallapa bay oysters, sauteed tender and tasty, and a fresh salmon dish. again, exceptional. friendly staff and niceviewof the columbia river. spacious restaurant seating. several musicians one night was a nice touch, and not too loud. hope to be back next august and won't miss at least one night at the bridgewater.

my husband and i were in astoria for the day last weekend. before we headed back home, we decided to eat at the edgewater bistro. what a smart idea!! it was excellent. we got there just as their sunday brunch ended, but that was just fine with us. the wait staff was friendly and theviewwas beautiful and relaxing. unfortunately, it's the first of the year, so i'm dieting and couldn't indulge in their homemade birdseed bread. my husband had to enjoy it for both of us. however, i had the most delicious salad and my husband had the fish & chips. the price is right, the first is fresh and delicious and the setting is just perfect. can't wait to go back!

bestviewin town. fun menu of many choices. great bar menu. wonderful place for a party

great view, innovative food. you won't find a betterviewof the columbia.
