This is my go to restaurant when in Astoria and it never disappoints. The views of the bridge, the…read morewonderfully high ceilings and decor, and of course, the food make this, in my humble opinion, the best address in town. Tonight I had the fried oysters, a Caesars salad, and the ribeye steak. This was all perfect (I described the same appetizers very enthusiastically in my first review) and I'd like to highlight the fantastic ribeye steak, which I ordered medium rare. This was so delightful and expertly executed, it easily exceeded some steaks I've had in designated (and more expensive and pretentious) steakhouses. The service was excellent as usual; so were the Manhattan and pilsner on tap. When in doubt, pay the Bridgewater a visit and thank me later.

The hostess was very friendly, something we didn't see from the rest of the staff. We got seated right away, but it was about 10 minutes until the server finally made it to our table. We placed our order and it took 20 minutes for our appetizer to hit the table. We got the chili-lime prawns. They were the highlight of the meal. Perfectly cooked and seasoned well. I saved the honey lime sauce for my fries. It was 35 MORE minutes until our entrees hit the table. Ridiculously slow. We both got the fish and chips. The batter was light and tasty and the fish was cooked beautifully. The staff on the floor were generally disagreeable. They were rude to each other and the guests. I watched one waitress walking around holding knives out in front of her as she walked, just missing guests as she navigated the floor. Safety hazard... there's something I haven't had to include in a review before. Nice venue, great food, horrible service

Great vibe and thoughtful service, though the iced tea missed the mark…read more ​We stopped by this beautiful café during a day trip to Astoria, and it completely won us over with its cozy atmosphere and kind hospitality. ​We ordered the Tempeh Reuben: grilled tempeh, house-made sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese with house-made Reuben sauce on their signature scorcher rye. It was absolutely outstanding! Every ingredient felt incredibly fresh and vibrant. The rich flavors of the grilled tempeh and the perfect tang of the sauerkraut paired beautifully with the hearty, fresh-baked rye. ​The service was also wonderful and incredibly thoughtful--they noticed we were sharing and kindly split the sandwich into two separate plates for us before bringing it out, which we truly appreciated. ​The only downside was the iced tea, which unfortunately tasted quite watered down and lacked flavor. Aside from that, it's a fantastic spot. If you're exploring the historic streets of Astoria and looking for high-quality, conscious food, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Add in the incredible views of the Columbia River, and it's easily one of the coolest places in Astoria to relax and enjoy a drink. The cocktails are creative, beautifully crafted, and absolutely delicious. Their clam chowder is fantastic too. Thick, hearty, and loaded with meat, with a great consistency and a rich, classic chowder flavor. There was also a subtle hint of fennel that gave it something a little different without overpowering the traditional taste. After doing a chowder crawl and trying 10 different restaurants around Astoria, I would confidently put Inferno Lounge in second place, just behind Portway Tavern. Between the amazing river views, fun atmosphere, inventive drinks, and outstanding chowder, Inferno Lounge is definitely a place worth visiting!

I decided to order a variety of items, hot matcha tea, a tuna roll, miso soup and a donburi. The food and service was amazing. The fish was the freshest i've had in a while, everything was great! The miso does have a shrimp base that i was not a huge fan of, i don't like the shellfish flavor is all. The only other critique i had is the roll was a little heavy on the rice vs fish ratio, however the freshness of the tuna was worth it. I was expecting to have leftovers for lunch the following day and i ended up eating my entire meal lol if you're visiting the area this place is a must try! Reasonably priced and delicious.

It was outstanding and honestly comparable to what you would get at Din Tai Fung, making it a fantastic choice for plant based diners. The Miso Soup was also perfectly comforting. We tried the Seared Salmon Roll, which was good, along with a fresh Vegetable Roll and Seared Albacore Tuna Sushi. Overall, it is a wonderful spot with great food and a charming vibe. I highly recommend stopping by.
