   Made a reservation almost two weeks in advance for a birthday dinner. Hostess assigned us a lousy table right by the front door - had to ask to speak to the manager to have a new table assigned. There was no acknowledgement by the hostess or our server that this was a special night for someone at our table. The area in which we were seated in the restaurant was way too loud - we had a difficult time hearing the conversation at our table. Food portions were very small for the high prices charged. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone in the future!

   Dear Christopher, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience at Bridgewater fell short of expectations, especially for such a special occasion. Please accept my sincere apologies for the seating arrangement and the lack of acknowledgment for the birthday celebration. We strive to provide every guest with a warm and memorable experience, and it’s clear we missed the mark in this instance. Your comments about the noise level and portion sizes are also important to us, and we’ll be reviewing these aspects to see how we can improve. Thank you again for your honest feedback. I hope we have the chance to provide you with the exceptional experience you deserve in the future. Sincerely,Rik AckenGeneral ManagerThe Bridgewater Modern Grill

   Our lunch was great. The service was excellent and the crab cake Benedict was excellent and was the fried chicken sandwich. We really enjoy Bridgewater. Their brunch/brunch menu is interesting and varied.

   The food and service was very good. The crispy fingerling potatoes are really good. There is bacon on the burger, however it is not on the menus. If you don’t eat pork you will need to ask for it without bacon.

   Lovely drink selections (even had a mock-tail list and the drinks came out as well presented as the alcoholic ones). The Brie Appetizer and Meatballs were both good. Everyone enjoyed their food, the chicken and greens was the only one that got low reviews from the ordering party. It was Valentines weekend so they had some special food and drink options. I don’t know if they always have a singer as it was our first time, but he was really good; It drove a higher noise level in the space though. Noise was okay for us but did make conversation and even ordering difficult at times. Manager did come round unprompted to the tables which is always a good thing to see in restaurants, he asked how things were and for feedback. We said all was well because we were having a nice dinner and the chicken wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t great.

   Very modern and classy atmosphere. We all had a drink at the bar first, then sat down for dinner. Although it is winter, the restaurant has large garage doors that can be opened in the summer. We had a few apps (crab cakes and sourdough bread), then our main meal. Service was good, we didn’t feel rushed and we had a wonderful time. Since this was Valentines Days weekend, there was live music which was just great. Very cool!
