    The crew was accommodating and worked as a team. We started with a drink at the bar, attentive bartender, then hostess kindly showed us to our table, which they had changed upon our request. Our server, Tracy, was smart, energetic, perceptive to our needs and the table vibe, and did a great job. The team that helps clear dishes, deliver food etc were prompt and hard working. All of this seems a sign of a well managed restaurant, a true culture of service and experience. Oh, and the food was amazing!

    We split a Caesar salad which was delicious but what followed was fabulous. The Rib eye steaks were perfectly grilled and melted in our mouths. The smashed fingerling potatoes were a perfect side dish. Service was outstanding and I would ask for Chloe. A great meal at a beautiful restaurant.

    The taste of the food was fine, but the service was very slow. We ordered a coffee and it took a long time and arrived cold. We asked for sugar, and by the time they brought it, the coffee was cold. The restaurant was not full.
    Bridgewater Modern GrillResponded on January 7, 2025
    Dear Luis, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the taste of the food, but we’re sorry to hear about the slow service and the coffee not meeting expectations. This certainly isn't the experience we strive for, and we will work with our team to ensure quicker and more attentive service in the future. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience next time. Warm regards, Rik Acken General Manager The Bridgewater Modern Grill
