The Columbia River estuary sprawls out from the tall and expansive windows of the Bridgewater Bistro. It sits on the edge of a pier built on ancient pilings. The restaurant is at the west end of the River Walk and an easy walk from the Cannery Pier Hotel and Holiday Inn Express, and, for boaters, the West Mooring Basin. Now... More

Terrific variety of foods, small plates, salads and entrees. Lots of seafood options, but other choices for those not so inclined. Salmon special was one of the better I've ever had.

great atmosphere, view of the river and the food was wonderful. I would make a reservation and request the patio or a window on the main floor

The food was wonderful and the server was excellent! We're looking forward to returning! The menu had a nice variation of choices and the prices were very reasonable. The crab cheesecake is a must!

We had driven south from Bremerton, WA earlier this particular cloudy day in May, entering Astoria in the late afternoon... More

The Bridgewater Bistro is very comfortable while presenting a more interesting menu and ambience than most of the Astoria eateries. The dining room has a full view of the Columbia River and an open interior. Our waitress was charming without being intrusive. We all had seafood. My salmon was excellent and they were generous with the oyster shooters.
