The food was really delicious! We ordered the cream of crab soup which was great. The Brussel Sprouts as an appetizer and they were the STAR OF THE SHOW! Best I have ever tasted. We ordered the crab cake and the scallops for our entrees and they were both solid. The only regret is that the potatoes were as hot as I would have liked them to be, but all and all it was a delicious meal. Did not have room for dessert. Next time...and there will definitely be a next time!

There's tons of seafood places on Kent Narrows to choose from, and I'm glad I chose this place. The food was really delicious and the portions were generous. There were even nice selections for people who don't eat seafood. Highly recommend you try this.

What a beautiful setting. We stopped in during happy hour and loved the fish and chips. The ribs were wonderful. Happy hour menue was an amazing value.

Great service, food and ambiance! We love coming here. We bring our out of town guests here any chance we get. We have never been disappointed.

The food just wasn't that good. There was a birthday party so the noise level was probably higher than normal. The decor is dark and needs an update

We wanted to enjoy Bridges Restaurant. However, we sat for over 20 minutes and no server ever came to our table. I even called on the phone from the table to the restaurant to highlight no service was happening. Still no one came out. It was not that busy, we saw several servers who failed to make eye contact, another server was distracted and talking with patron friends. After waiting for so long, we got up and left. It did not help that when we checked in for our reservation for “outside under the Gazebo” which was offered as a choice on Open Table, the hostess attempted to move us inside. We kindly refused and she tried to move us to a high top table, somewhere else, not under the Gazebo. We refused again and specified we booked the Gazebo. Then we were seated but outside but not under the Gazebo. It was a section of the restaurant where literally no servers maintained. We found it all highly annoying. There were also a lot of very noisy children at multiple different tables. If was very distracting and disruptive to a mature romantic evening on the waterfront. It looks like a mature, romantic restaurant online but it felt more like a noisy Denny's overrun with children yelling and moving around like the parents and the restaurant management did not mind. When we dine out and spend $200 on dinner we are paying for service, of which Bridges offered none. Highly disappointing for the time we took to get there and the fact we chose it over others. We are never ever going back. The view is gorgeous from Bridges, I will say that but there are other restaurants around there you can see a view and actually get reasonable service.

The atmosphere was very good. Service was not too wire home about. The food was not what I expected in taste. If you want a nice place to go to and not concerned with the service and food this will work.

We came to Bridges specifically for the crab cakes, and they did not disappoint – absolutely amazing! We started with the burrata, which was beautifully paired with prosciutto, pistachio, arugula, and a blueberry reduction. Such a fresh and flavorful combination. The calamari was also really good, perfectly cooked and seasoned. For my drink, I had the Bridges Breeze and it was so tasty – refreshing and smooth. Our waitress, Meadow, did a great job and made the experience even better with her friendly and attentive service. Overall, everything from the food to the drinks and service was excellent. Definitely a place worth visiting!

The food and ambiance were both amazing. Our waiter Cameron (Cam) made the whole experience with high 5 star service & great energy. We will return & ask for him on our next visit. Thank you Cam!!
We sat outside & the view was peaceful. The service was top notch; our waitress was cheerful, attentive & responsive. The salad was fresh & ample. The star of the show was the crab cake; large pieces of crab, little to no filler, moist & meaty seasoned to absolute perfection! This restaurant is a must, we'll be back when we pass through again!

Had an amazing lunch with a friend today at Bridges! Sitting next to the water is always so calming. Great food (pulled pork special and fish tacos) excellent cocktails, and wonderful server, Gabby, who made great suggestions and was super nice!

The food was outstanding. We ordered the crab dip for the table. My wife had the stuff shrimp in which she thoroughly enjoyed. She could not finished and took half the meal home for lunch the next day. My guests ordered the fish taco and shrimp salad sandwich respectively. The men had a bourban sprintzer, the women had white wine and coke cola respectively. This was my third time at the restaurant for lunch. Every year the couples celebrate our wedding anniversary that are a week apart. We meet at Bridges because it is halfway from Chestertown and Ellicott City Maryland where each live. Wonderful atomosphere and scenic with view of the Kent Narrows waterway.

We used to live very near Bridges and had been going there since the week they opened. We moved to Annapolis and had not been there in a while. Unfortunately, our meals did not meet our expectations. More specifically, one of us had the soft-shelled crab sandwich. It was not well prepared (I think it was fried, but I couldn't tell) and it was one of the smallest I've ever had. The calamari appetizer seemed as though it was from frozen seafood and it looked like it used to be breaded, but the breading had fallen off. If it was not meant to be breaded, it didn't quite look like it was sautéed. The bottom line is we couldn't tell how it was prepared. Lastly, something as simple as french fries were below standards. Not really fried well (we noticed that they were placed in a bowl under a heat lamp for servers to pull them from for plating) and they were not hot. The good news is that the red sangria was wonderful. Overall, a big disappointment.

We had the buttermilk hot chicken sandwich and was incredible. It was so flavorful! Whoever created that sandwich should be applauded. Our only disappointment was that the chicken breast didn’t come close to filling out the bun! We will definitely give it another fry. Our server was also top shelf! I’m
