    I have been here a couple of times and have enjoyed the atmosphere and that there are pool tables. It's definitely bar food but top notch bar food. Last time I was here it took 30 minutes for nachos to come out and it was the most basic nachos I had ever seen with not a lot of chicken and the cheese sauce was cold. I get that we are in the south and that bugs are going to be everywhere but seeing a big dead roach next to the table is not the most favorable thing to lay eyes on. Besides that the service is always good, they have lots of 'events' going on that are family friendly like music bingo and all around it's a good meetup place just to watch a game and drink a beer.

    We took our son to the Bridgewater for his birthday on May 28th. He's still talking about how…read moregreat our meal was. The great waiter, Justin, recommended a chicken breast sandwich as his favorite dish. A sandwich over more expensive entrees! Well, we all ordered the sandwich and it was almost indescribably good - a moist chicken breast with melted Brie on a large hard bread with fig jam and caramelized small onions. We also shared an amazing sautéed tuna appetizer. Two people ordered a recommended red wine. The food was exceptionally delicious and Justin's service was Superb! Bravo Bridgewater. We'll be regulars.

    Enjoyed our first visit - wine tasting was great. Love all the details. It's evident Doug knows…read morehis wine. We had the Crab Cake Sandwich and the Bridgewater Chicken Sandwich. The chicken and the chips were exceptional. We didn't care for the taste of the crab cake sandwich. We felt the taste of the crab was masked by too many seasonings. The wines were w exceptional, and we left with wine we purchased. We also joined the Explorers Wine Club. We are enjoying our membership. On our second visit, we came in just to pick up our wines and do a tasting. We felt very rushed and did not have the same kind of experience as we did initially. It wasn't awful. It was just very impersonal. However, the wines were exceptional again, and we bought even more to take home. The restaurant area and bar areas are cozy. We had good service. We will definitely go back.

    We made another visit here, this time for dinner, and with different friends who have not visited…read moreSouth Front Tavern before. It was great weather this night, so we opted for an outside table that was in total shade. Very comfortable. Our server came by for drink orders. We had no appetizers this visit and went right into entrees. We tried the Port City Burger, the Gnocchi with chicken, cilantro lime shrimp quesadillas and the salmon tacos. Everything was delicious. The only complaint I would have is that the Salmon Tacos was a bit small. The dish is two small tacos with a side of tortilla chips. There is no salsa, no pico de gallo, no slaw. I was actually sorry that I didn't get an appetizer. I was still a little hungry after I finished. We didn't want any of the dessert offered this time. Again, everything was great. Service, food, atmosphere, outside patio. Just my dish was a little less in size. I will keep that in mind next time we visit. I'm not sure something like this would be changed on the menu, but I still wanted to voice my opinion. Still a great place with a great menu and service. If the weather is good, opt for the patio. It is really nice sitting out there.

    2 stars only because food was so good…read more Service was probably some of the worst I've ever had. A table arrived after we got our appetizers and got their food, a box, paid, and left before we even ordered our entrees. Each drink took minimum of 15 minutes and were incorrect. The server had to come back and double check multiple orders. We were not checked on once unless we flagged her down. The list goes on. Will not return unless we order take out.
