    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 wanted to have a nice dinner before a Christmas concert. The coffee was served old and not very warm and while the server was very pleasant and prompt, she struggled when asked about the menu. We ordered the salmon and it was just ok - a little on the dry side. I have been here before so thought I'd try for dinner and while it was pleasant it wasn't anything spectacular.
    Bridgewater Modern GrillResponded on 19 December 2024

    We were greeted by the three employees at the entrance having a conversation that they started even though they saw us coming through the glass door. Maybe, a petty complaint, but i am greeted better at Walmart than that. Bad start. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The temperature was comfortable even though we were seated near a large window on a cold night. We each order a steak medium rare. They were both cooked closer to medium and my ribeye had more char than I would have liked. We did not send them back as that is not our style. The salad was fine and the smashed fingerlings were Ok also. My wife liked the house made dressing on the salad and the dip that came with the potatoes.
    Bridgewater Modern GrillResponded on 19 December 2024
    Dear Tom, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent visit to The Bridgewater Modern Grill. I sincerely apologize for the less-than-warm welcome you received at the entrance. First impressions are so important, and we will be addressing this with our team to ensure all guests feel valued from the moment they walk in. I’m glad to hear that your waitress provided attentive service and that your wife enjoyed the Garlic Aioli that accompanied the fingerlings. However, I regret that the steaks did not meet your expectations and that the ribeye was more charred than you would have liked. We hope you will give us another opportunity in the future to provide the exceptional experience we strive for with every guest. Warm regards, Rik Acken General Manager
