    Fantastic restaurant! We have been to quite a few fancy places to eat in Townsville over the years, Bridgewater was up there with the best of them. I took my wife there for her 70th birthday where we had the 5 course degustation menu, it was fabulous. The wine pairing was great and theservice was very good too. For a more high end restaurant the prices were very reasonable also. Top marks to all the staff at Bridgewater, we will be back. Highly recommend. Matt
