   Service was great, drinks came quick as well as the food. Perfect view also. Music wasn’t to loud but loud enough to enjoy :)

   Always good food and service and the new guy last night that served us gave the exact right amount of attention which was good. The only complaint if we were to be picky is the measure of wine always appears to be a little short which only my wife notices. But at our other favorite restaurant the glass always has a touch more and the second glass even a little bit more. It might be a minor detail but the ladies notice. But we will be back again because it is one of our favorites and the staff and chief are excellent.

   Amazing food, with an excellent level of service. Some confusion over who was our waiter, but once that was sorted it was amazing.

   The food was good and the service pleasant. Nice view over the water. But sadly like all the top restaurants these days the wine list is outrageously expensive. I recommended some very good wine at around $25 that far exceeds in taste style and quality the $100 wines at seem to be the modestly priced wires on their menu. And even with a 100% markup these wines would still be half the price of their moderately priced wine. But I guess that's the price you have to pay for having a first class restaurant in Townsville, so you have to put up with it – or drink less. My wife and I only had one bottle instead of our usual two! The owner should realise that with better priced and better wine, consumers would drink more and that is where the profit really is in the food business.

   Definitely one of Townsville's best restaurants. The quality and originality of the meals presented is exceptional. However, on booked out occasions, the noise levels/reverberation makes dinner conversation difficult. Whilst I do not mind the absence of table clothes and placemats, more attention to surface cleanliness is required.

    The entrees especially the pork was very good and the shallots were fresh. The main we both ordered was the duck ($44) it honestly was a very small portion about the same size as the entree approx 130g of duck. The affogato icecream was amazing. The service was very slow. After they seated us it took about 15-20mins for them to come back with lunch menus. They did apologise but the service continued to be slow the entirely of the meal. We ordered drinks my partner had to enquire about his serveral times about his. And I ordered a drink at the same time as dessert and it only arrived after we were done eating dessert. Overall, for the size of the mains and the poor service. I'm not sure I'm be back but the quality and freshness of the dishes is high.

    Friendly and professional service staff. Food very tasty but my Kimberley steak was fatty/chewy and consequently did nor meet the higher levels of other foods consumed on the night. This was raised with the service staff at the time who indicated that they would pass this feedback to the chef. Otherwise a great night all round and yes we will return!

    Great ambiance and such a warm vibe. Good drinks menu and loved the table service. Wait staff were friendly and engaged. Food choices were a little disappointing, too many fried choices that didn’t fit such a lovely venu. The Bridgewater bar is always a favourite of mine, menu lets it down a little.

    What an amazing restaurant! Cocktails were really nice and the food was fantastic! I ate food I normally would never eat and loved it. The staff were always on top of things, topping up drinks and taking drink orders when necessary but not annoyingly at all. Friendly staff with good knowledge of the menu. There was no question they couldn't answer. I will definitely be back again and will recommend to everyone I know.

    It was a lovely night, amazing food (the kindler potatoes as part of the lamb dish were very dry and we chose not to eat them). The service was amazing right up until mains and then it stopped. Which was odd as the place itself became less busy. As a consequence of being left with plates for an extended period and then with dessert menus we decided against having dessert which we all were going to. Which is a disappointing end to the evening.

    Visiting Townsville from the UK as part of an Aussie excursion. We fancied some decent grub and Bridgewater didn't disappoint. Enthusiastic but thoughtful staff with a good ambience. The food was very good and compared to London was a bit of a bargain. Nice wine pairings with the tasting menu. Overall very good. The scallops and pork cheek dishes were verging on exceptional. Definitely worth seeking out.

    I went out for my birthday with my husband and son and his girlfriend. Our initial interaction was with a very friendly waitress. She was pleasant, helpful and knew all about the menu when we asked questions. The food was exceptional and made our table in respectable time and to the right people. Will definitely go back.
