The Bridge Tender

"We came here for my sister’s birthday dinner. In the reservation, I requested the best view and they delivered, giving us a beautiful table with views! On top of that, the food was amazing! It was a very memorable experience and my sister loved it, which was most important."

"I don’t like to give 5 stars out easily but when I think about the food, service and atmosphere I can’t think of anything that would deduct. I had the Horseradish Tuna because it seemed intriguing. Amazing! The waiter described it perfectly and I’d get it again. Medium rare. If I get back out there I’ll definitely get this dish again. It is a nice environment on the river. Great place to eat. It is pricey but I don’t even think about it when everything is as good as it was, based on this I would say it’s actually a deal."

"Beautiful place for a semi-fancy date night out. This is my husband’s favorite restaurant in the area. I love it too. Every celebration we had, we came here. The food was amazing, the dessert was amazing too, but you have to try the clam chowder. If we could eat here every night we would. Dinner also isn’t too expensive for two people. Their service was great and you are always greeted by smiling faces. You get a view to the docking area and boats at the back of the restaurant. I give this place a 10/10 across the board. But make sure you make a reservation, they are very lenient with you possibly being a few minutes late as well."

"This is a five star restaurant that also has a beautiful view of the intercostal water way and the Wrightsville beach draw bridge. The food is amazing. Everything I have ever ordered has been excellent. Their clam chowder is my favorite in the area. Some of my other favorite dishes are the stuffed flounder, prime rib, oyster Rockefeller and for dessert the bread pudding is amazing. The service is outstanding. This is also a great place for outside dining. Like I said the view and environment is wonderful. This is a must try if you are visiting or live in the area."

"We had a wonderful meal and experience. We got there early for our reservation and the hostess was friendly and found a way to work us in. Graham was our waiter and he did a great job. I asked him if he preferred the tuna or the flounder. He said the tuna was one of his favorites and wow i agree with him. It was delicious the flavors all worked together and I will be back soon to get it again. The key lime pie was darn good as well. If you are looking for a delicious meal with a good view and great staff the bridge tender is a smart choice"
