Love Bridgewater! I’ve been many times with family and it has never disappointed. The capellette with crispy chicken is wonderful. Highly recommend. Tracy is an incredible waitress. Even if she’s not helping my table, she’s a delight to see.

We always have a great experience here. It was busy because it was Christmas, but we didn’t have to wait long for our meal. Best old fashioned we’ve ever had!! We loved our steaks and Brandy Alexander ice cream drink for dessert. Highly recommend. We come here at least once a year and are always treated really well.
