Bridges On Kent Narrows - Grasonville

Katie was terrific, the service fast, the view incredible, and food yummy! What's not to love?

Absolutely delicious! We will definitely go there for dinner whenever we are in the area.

Our visit to Bridges was mixed. When I made the reservation online, the link asked if it was a special occasion and I said it was (Anniversary). There was a place to make a special request so I asked for a water view table. When we arrived a few minutes before our reservation time the hostesses were very unfriendly to the point of rudeness. Neither made any effort to greet us. One of them took us to a very ordinary table in the middle of the room. I told her we had requested a water view and pointed to another table not far off that was empty. She seemed annoyed but took us over to the other table. A couple who had a table right at the window finished up shortly after we were seated. If the hostesses had consulted with the wait staff they could have asked us to wait a few minutes for a table right at the window. But they did not…. Our waiter was stellar however and provided us with excellent and friendly service. I am sorry that I cannot remember his name. Our food was good but definitely not great. I thought my husband’s steak was a little tough and my scallops had an odd strawberry glaze that just didn’t fit scallops somehow. The scallops came on a bed of risotto but there were no side veggies. There was a Smith Island cake on the special’s menu which sounded delicious but the waiter regretfully told us that the cake had already sold out. The other dessert offerings were unexciting so we passed on dessert. The views were beautiful and we enjoyed ourselves but we got the sense that this restaurant relies too much on the beauty of the setting and not on the quality of the food.

The food was absolutely amazing! The food presentation was on par with fine dining but it's a more casual atmosphere. Portioned adequately to eat it all in one sitting. I had the stuffed shrimp and my husband had the shrimp penne, and they were both delicious! Service was great and the waterfront view was a bonus! Would definitely eat here again!

My review would have been five stars across the board if not for the terrible NOISE level indoors. Unfortunately, there was a big storm at the time we had reserved, but the hostess graciously made space for us on a busy Saturday night at just about the best table inside. However, as much as we enjoyed our meal and the lovely view (really, gorgeous! I think we'll go back only if we know we can sit at a table outside: the noise was that bad! Shame, because the food--especially the crabcakes--was really delicious and served elegantly by friendly staff who were attentive but never obtrusive (just right! Note to the chef: the lemon cake with mascarpone and berries would have been truly memorable had it been about ONE THIRD as sweet (really! the overwhelming sugar load interfered with tasting the ingredients . The coffee was as good as any I've had out. The wine we had with our oysters and crabcakes (a sauvignon blanc from New Zealand was poured with generous serving--NOT the ridiculous thimblefuls that are served in DC for twice the price . So, overall: a STRONG URGING of the restaurant to install some sound baffling, which would make Bridges just about everything you could want in a fine restaurant.
