    We celebrated a friend’s birthday last night and the experience was top notch from start to finish! Shout out to Katie our server who made our birthday buddy feel extra special with a piece of flourless chocolate cake and candle! We will be back for sure! The food was phenomenal and we all left feeling satisfied, but wishing we had an extra couple stomachs!

    First time at Bridgewater and we had high expectations. Those were met all the way around. Our server, Chris, was clearly busy but did a great job. Personable and friendly. Louis, the manager, came by and we had a wonderful conversation with him. We will be back and we will tell all of our friends to go. Oh yeah, we were celebrating 47 years of marriage tonight!!

    Great atmosphere. Mediocre food and service. Soggy salad, over-salted burgers, out of several menu items. Not likely to go again for a meal, maybe for a drink on the patio.

    I made the reservation a couple of weeks in advance and requested a booth. When we arrived there were open booths they said they needed for a large party with a reservation and therefore, could not accommodate my request. Booths in our view remained empty throughout the meal. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Also, too noisy for conversation. Food was good. Better for lunch than dinner.

    We arrived and 3 of us we’re seated immediately, the driver had to search for parking as there is not enough parking for the restaurant. We waited probably 10 minutes for someone to ask us for our drinks no one came so asked at the hostess stand. Received drinks but waiter gave a glass of wine vs a bottle but immediately corrected it. We ordered Brussels Sprouts for an appetizer but they were rather bitter, sauce and bacon were good. Had the Goddess salad very fresh and generous. When we ordered they had no specials and only 1 order of Trout which host recommended. The trout sauce with chiles was too overpowering for the flavor of the fish-would not get again, the pork chop excellent and Lobster roll were very good. Got 2 nice complimentary desserts for our 2 birthdays. Waitress was nice but must have had too many tables in other areas to attend us.

    I had been here before, my two friends hadn't and wanted to try it. We had a reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. Our server appeared gave a little speech about all the restaurants in the "group," and took drink orders. He was very friendly and personable, taking time to ask the kitchen staff about an ingredient in one of the dishes. We ordered a flatbread and salad to share, and scallops, chicken, and trout for our entrees. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. The only disappointment with the food was the clump of undressed arugula on the plate with the trout. It would have been nice to know that it came with a "salad" and to have a bit of some sort of dressing on it. The decor is nice but all hard surfaces so it gets very loud and made it difficult for conversation without raising one's voice a bit more than ideal. Overall it was a good experience but a little on the pricey side. There is a long, narrow parking lot with an entrance in the center and no exits at the ends, which means you have to back up the length of the lot if you get to the end and discover it's full.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the food and environment here. Mothers Day Dinner left us in awe. Best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. You HAVE to try the Duck Tostada. As a proud Mexican, I’m very picky about my Mexican food. I was impressed with the tostada. My ribeye was good but could have benefited from a little salt and pepper. I feel they relied heavily on the char grilled flavor. My Server Karen was outstanding. She was training but very very good at her job already. Thanks for having us.

    First time at Bridgewater. We are big fans of Onesto and Blue Bat, other Benson group restaurants. Onesto remains our favorite. Bridgewater seemed a bit pricy for the portions given. Lobster roll was way too much roll and not enough lobster. Our server, Adriana, was wonderful. We will come back to sit on the beautiful patio and hopefully have the trout as it was out last night and ask for Adriana.

    A beautiful location and restaurant, however you can tell they are still learning. Getting seated took 25 minutes despite being half empty and us being 10 minutes early. We had to send back two ribeyes and the scallops were Incredibly bland. The drinks are delicious, however I believe there needs to be much better floor management. I couldn’t identify who the manager was and I was just upset that there didn’t seem to be much concern for the poor service.

    The service was excellent--friendly and appropriately timed. The food was very tasty. The view was nice and the decor was modern and interesting. The noise level was LOUD! I am assuming the hard, flat surfaces throughout contributed to the noisiness and the opportunity to hear every conversation from other guests. Also, a lot of chairs and tables were dragged loudly to accommodate guest seating. It all felt a bit chaotic.

    Bridgewater Modern GrillResponded on May 16, 2023Good Evening Dawn, Thanks for the visit. I apologize the the noise level. the place can get a little lively when we are busy. When we are able to open the garage doors when the weather gets a little more consistent, that will help. Hope to see you again soon! Rik General Manager
