The Bridge Waterfront Bistro

My husband and I dined at the Bridge Market and Bistro Saturday night. I ordered the yellow tilefish, my husband had tuna. The fish was outstanding and so fresh. Even though the restaurant was packed, we received excellent service from all staff. The waterfront view and piano player further enhanced our dining experience. This restaurant has it all.

Best and freshest seafood anywhere around, cooked to absolute perfection. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the chef even comes out into the dining room to personally talk to his guests. He told us there wasn't a single frozen fish on the premesis, never is, and when we tasted the Hog Snapper wow could you tell the difference. It melted in your mouth like butter. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who truly appreciates fine food and wine, cooked to order, and made with the finest ingredients around. Don't be deceived by the looks from the outside...the inside is a whole different world. We will be back again and again, and are already planning a family birthday there. Finally! Some real food in the area! Kudos to The Bridge!

Simply amazing. Very Busy but amazing. Food and drinks were on point. Best gumbo on the planet. My wife had a sunset pear martini and shes's still talking about how good it was. If your in the mood for great seafood go on down and try the Bridge.

My MOH hosted my bridal shower at the Bistro. It was such a fantastically all inclusive experience! Myself and guests are still raving about the service, meal, and hospitality. I highly recommend the Bridge Waterfront Bistro. I will definitely return!

We started going here for lunch after fishing at Guana beach--loved it-have brought back friends and family over and over and all have loved it as much as we do. Finally had dinner there the other night--FANTASTIC seafood!!! Don't miss the New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp App. and for a warm filling lunch try the French Dip--Yummmmmm. Also best and biggest burgers. We can't say enough good things--in fact we have friends from Maryland on their way to Tampa meeting us there in a few hours. The view is great and the staff friendly. The owner always takes time to stop and chat with us--casual and upscale all in one package--what's not to love!

I travel three states from Miami Fl to Florence SC and cannot wait to return to John's original seafood delites. Believe me I eat at Joe's Crab House in Miami and Carolinas in Charleston and the seafood is superior to most. This is an atmosphere that is unlike others and the quality is impeckable.Kudos to the chef!

Love seafood and have found this to be the best in town. It is all fresh and prepared in an eclectic comfort flavor. I truly enjoy the ambiance, the service and the friendliness of the owners, John and Jill Cakmis. John never ceases to amaze me with his passion for presenting different specials each time i have been there. When he is not preparing food, he has offered to help me with my selection of the food that is appealing to me. GREAT FOOD, GREAT PLACE AND GREAT PEOPLE!!
