We had a wonderful dinner, we were greeted as we walked in and shown to our table. We had the calamari entrée, which was so delicious and tender with exceptional sauce. I had the steak which was tasty and tender, tempura Broccolini, and my husband had Salmon and Prawn Tortellini, both were delicious. Dressing that came with were beautiful. We couldn't fit desert in, but I wished we could have . Good choice of wine and beers. Service was really good. Outstanding staff and food.

We had a lovely table in the restaurant beside the glass windows overlooking the water and bridge. The meals were packed with flavour and each dish was a very generous portion. The scallops were a highlight, whereas the chicken dumplings were our least favourite. Cloth napkins, pottery serviette rings and fine glass ware all added to the evening.

We had a great night at Bridgewater. It was very busy, so food service was a little slow but that’s understandable. Our waiter was very attentive and always had a smile. Plus we were asked by other staff members on several occasions how we were, which is nice. The consistent presence of the wait staff breaks up the wait for the food. Only let down with the food was the pork starter. Was very dry and rather cold, had great flavour though… but everything else was delicious. The Spaghetti Nero was awesome, highly recommend! I look forward to returning and trying the next few items on the menu!

We were there for my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary and the team there made it so special too. The food was amazing, some of the nicest I’ve had in a long while.
