   Excellent all round. Food was exceptional. Sommelier went out of his way to help us choose the best wine match for our food. Wait staff were efficient and friendly - helping us out with local knowledge for our visit to Townsville and onward journey. We will definitely book in again when we head back down the coast.

   Not seated at table requested in booking. Maitrie d’ was very good but our waiter was nervous and unsure of himself. Food was above average but on the expensive side, as was expected. No candle(as requested) on the table or salt and pepper. Drinks took a while to be brought out. On the whole expected a little better considering how long they have been open and how much they charge. A solid 3 stars.

    We attended the sip + sushi night and it was absolutely fabulous. The food was fresh, fragrant and delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed the refreshing yuzu gin spritz.

    Hi we were a table of six .. I highly recommend the event again as we all loved it ! The sushi was spot on and we were all nice full ! The stools were very high and that probably could have been asked what seating arrangements we would like .but no biggy I understand in these times staff shortages is terrible. But the service of our drinks was shocking we received our food before our first drink and the gin spritz was disgusting it couldn’t be drank it was very very bitter , we ordered 4 and 2 where bitter , we ordered our next drinks when these came out and we had finished our sushi before the next round of drinks came out , two of my friends ordered cocktails to which they couldn’t drink again absolutely terrible! No body wanted to complain on the night as it puts a damper on things . So we ended up walking to the Australian hotel just to get a good drink ! Once again the event was awesome and we would all go again but I feel the service needs some attention especially for Bridgewater it’s a classy place and we offended bring clients there I don’t want that to change !

    We had a lovely meal but a little disappointed that the Botaniq. Bar was not open until 5.30 )advertised to open at 5 ) we were left outside waiting for the doors to open - it would have been nice to have ore dinner drinks before our meal as we had friends travel from out of town to share our special celebration - lovely location

    Too much going on with each dish - simplify things a bit - less is more. Always too noisy, maybe very tall partitions between tables. Service is fantastic. Taste is fantastic.

    Upon arrival, we were greeted with friendly faces and promptly ushered to a quiet table. We enjoyed the 5-Course Degustation menu with perfectly timed space between meals and detailed service. I particularly enjoyed the scallops and Elderflower martini. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a beautifully presented and delicious experience.

    Food was amazing as always but the server seemed distracted and we had to ask for our drinks 3 times, water wasn’t topped up like normal. We definitely would have ordered more drinks if the waiter had been more on to it.

    We had a lovely visit for lunch which I actually preferred to previous dinner visits as it was a bit quieter (the restaurant can get noisy on busy nights). The food was exceptional as usual, and service quick. The sodas were lovely and this breastfeeding mum appreciated having a more adult looking non alcoholic beverage choice. We also had a lovely waiter who was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend!

    My husband’s dish was dreadful! He had the duck for his main it was a piece of duck breast as big as his thumb. I feel he received the detestation meal rather than an ordinary main. In any case we were charged the full main price of $44. We don’t plan on making another booking. Just dreadful!

    It all started with the friendly greeting. This restaurant is a must do for everyone. The staff were amazing friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the food and drinks menu's. The staff recommendation was spot on! The quail was delicious as was the pork cheek. The best of all was the Bomb -Alaska. Absolutely 💯 the best ever! Can not recommend this restaurant highly enough. The jewel in the crown for fine dining in Townsville. I will definitely be returning when I visit from Brisbane. Thank you to all at the restaurant for a delightful evening celebrating my best friends birthday.

    My partner and I don’t get out much, but we have been to Bridgewater 3 times now. I love the food, the wine list is great. Beautiful view of the city and not too crammed so conversation can be enjoyed . We will definitely be back as much as we can.
