The Bridge at Saugatuck

“Our favorite restaurant in Connecticut. Everything is always on point. The food is both reliable, but creative. Everything just works. The space is well designed for the ambiance, which is lively but classy. Sometimes we just come to share appetizers at the bar for dinner. The service is always top notch. Oh, and save room for dessert - especially the sticky toffee pudding. It's unreal.”

“Another wonderful meal - fresh ingredients, thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented. Pleasant, attentive staff. A lovely night out. We enjoyed the salmon tartare, Spanish octopus, branzino, short ribs, Brussels sprouts, a lemon dessert and a ricotta cheesecake.”

“We stopped in for dinner and truly enjoyed our time and meal. We were a bit early for dinner service so we had drinks at their outside bar and the bartender was really nice and helpful. For dinner we ate at the upstairs patio with a great view of the water. For starters we had the bread service which was excellent. The warm bread was served with an avocado butter which was so good. For our entrees I had the prime cut of steak which was cooked perfectly and served over carrots and a truffle purée of potatoes. It was absolutely delicious!! My girlfriend chose to have the Foie gras and she really enjoyed it. The service was excellent. The team constantly checked in making our dining experience perfect.”

“Such a nice and fancy spot for a date night. Amazing food and the drinks were absolutely fantastic! The restaurant was busy but we had such a great service. Looking forward to have an experience in summer time by the water…”

“A very good start! The good: the food - kudos to the chef as the food is delicious and well-prepared. The steak was perfectly cooked, and the duck was perfect. The wine list is just not bad and can use some help. Service is spotty, but to be expected in a new restaurant: the wine list was provided with blank pages, the waiter confused the red wine for white wine, and the red wine was served too warm (I was dining with a sommelier). They need to improve their wine storage system. Management agreed that the sound system is way too loud - perhaps turn it off until you get a new system. All in all I recommend the restaurant for its food, and I will definitely return to see how they improve.”
