Bridge Road Bistro

Accommodated our group of 40 no problem. Service was great, the owner and staff clearly take pride in their business. Good fun, good location, plenty of parking.

We had a great experience at Bridge Road Bistro! Our server, Mark, was impeccable. He provided great quality service, timely, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. The food was above and beyond our expectations. We had the Spanish coffee, spinach dip, poppyseed seasonal salad, and fillets.

Ultimately we enjoyed our experience at (and our first time trying) The Bridge Road Bistro! I wanted to take a minute to discuss the pros and constructive cons for you (the reader) to fully know what to expect. :) My husband and I went here for our 15 year wedding anniversary dinner. We wanted to try somewhere new and where the food was more upscale, and in that department they didn't disappoint! When we got in the restaurant we were literally the only people in the restaurant besides a group outside. It was around 5:15pm on a Thursday. We were seated promptly by the hostess and then greeted by our server relatively quickly. Great start so far! After our order was taken, the wait for the food began. Granted, it isn't a fast food place and it is all chef-made so we expected longer wait times. But we did wait nearly 40 minutes for one burger meal with fries and one black bean burger meal with fries. So expect a longer wait for sure. Obviously, if it was busy at all (again it was just us and one group outside), I am sure that wait time would be increased. Next time we would probably get an appetizer just to pass the time. One constructive con was that our server, though nice and attentive WHEN he was at our table, was quite slow and didn't seem to be around when we needed to ask him a Q or needed our check etc. We were given extra drinks at the table so that helped in not having to wait on the server to refill our drinks. Which was a great idea by the restaurant to do! Ok, so the food was AMAZING! The fries are really exceptional! -- I can't believe I am saying that about fries lol! My black bean burger would've been 10/10 for me if it had some sort of finishing sauce or better yet a little sprinkle of citrus (like lemon or lime) to really bring out all the flavors in the house-made black bean burger. It did have some sort of mayo or something on it, but a splash of something would've put it over the top for me! :) Desserts.... Yeah, they're the bomb! My husband and I tried Creme Brulee for the first time ever and it is now my husband's favorite dessert. And I got the blueberry cheesecake and it was nice. Atmosphere? We didn't see it busy, but the atmosphere is chill and we loved the real candles on the tables! There was also a fireplace by the bar seating which was pretty (even though we sat at a booth to the side of it). My one constructive con was the decor (and probably only because I was a professional interior decorator before). They really need to pick *one* theme and stick to it throughout the entire restaurant. It would really up the ante for the ambience of the place. For example, they had an industrial theme at the bar with the barrel table and chairs and the bridge sculpture over the bathrooms, then there was a very modern theme at the bar and bar seating with clean lines and black tables and seating, then there was a country theme with plants along the windows in country pitchers and block words/country feel on top of the fireplace, then there was an almost oriental feel with the vases down the middle of the booths and their oriental styled branches, then Christmas was still up with the bow on the vase and the garland on the window sashes, then the tables in the non-bar areas felt upper class but chill with the wooden tops and beautiful candles but then the fabric of the booths was very old/retro looking. Then there was cabin vibes with the black bears on the walls by the bathrooms and even western vibes with the oxen yoke over the other door. Then there were pictures of skydiving which felt very sporty (and a pics mix elsewhere) then a lot of wooden paneling which felt again 70s/retro. Lastly, there was bright aqua blue paint meeting up with powder-blue paint from the entry to the restaurant and that kinda clashed. Now hear me, I probably only noticed because of my background, and the long wait time where I had time to checkout everything, but it would be AMAZING vibes if y'all could maybe settle on the modern/modern industrial vibes because it would really pull it all together but still be chill! :)

Had dinner here tonight. A gentleman named Mark waited on us. Very nice and very informative. We had the bib lettuce and apple and bacon salad and roasted cauliflower soup for starters and the Walleye and Pork Osso Buocco for entrees. Our food was delicious, on time, and plated nicely.We own a restaurant outside of Morgantown and I will be stealing the Roasted Cauliflower Soup. After the meal we enjoyed a house special Spanish coffee prepared, I must say rather adeptly by Mark. Great drink and great show(Mark)! We are now enjoying our appetizer-pinto bean poblano hummus in our hotel after the Righteous Brothers concert. Great time-great food-great waiter-great time!! Jim and Shelley
