Outstanding service. We had a party of 20 divided into tables of 10. I have never experienced such complete attentive service for a party that big. Astounding.

Service was alright and nothing terrible, however there was a noted delay on receiving drinks and placing our order after our appetizers. The food was solid and tasty on the whole. We ordered Brussel sprouts, meatballs, and bread for appetizers. All were delicious. Our entrees included the duck ragu and the smash burger. These dishes were good by all means, but not spectacular. I would rate these around 8/10. Overall a decent dining experience and left feeling full and content. Prices and portion sizes seemed reasonable and matched nicely as well. Overall, a 7.8/10.

Yesterday evening was my first time dining at this restaurant - two friends and I met there for a much-deserved night out. We made and held our early evening reservation. My first impression was the dinner menu looked intentional, however the drink menu was overwhelmingly robust. When we asked our server, who was both kind and attentive, for some suggestions based on preferences… it seemed like she felt a bit timid and even inexperienced in that area or question. Moving on to our meal, all of the dishes were well-prepared with excellent flavors and delivered both timely and with warmth. That shared, when we received our appetizers, a comment was made by a different staff member (assuming a floor manager) to “Please move menus to the side as to not get them dirty.” While I can understand the expense of daily printing, it seems misplaced to shift that in the direction of the guest, as well as assume we are “messy” with our table manners. Our server was attentive throughout the meal. When we had finished our entrees, and decided to order one last round of beverages (only being our second of the evening), she informed us we would have to wrap up in 15 minutes as there was another reservation that would need our table. Understandable, however, typically and traditionally, this information is communicated at the beginning of the meal, to set expectations then versus placing them rather abruptly. We did take time to order our drinks and entrees; we three had not been out together in a long while. However there was not a time standard written on the website/as part of our reservation or discussed prior to the sudden need for us to wrap up in 15 minutes. As we enjoyed our second/last round, she inquired if she could split our bill between the three of us after having printed it off — again, a bit odd of a request as we didn’t have a shared bottle of wine, our entrees and beverages were at different price points… and traditionally this question is asked prior to printing, leaving the preference to the guests… or if there is a policy of no splitting the bill, communicating that at the beginning in addition to the time allotted per table turn. When we did receive our split bill, the appetizers were not on correct bills; may not be an issue when the guests are good friends (which we three are), however it could be if dynamics are different among other/future guests. We were also hurried along by a different staff member, while paying our bill, that the table was needed and our time had concluded. Had we gotten dessert… which we were asked if we would like to order… would we have had time to eat it? As we hurried out, and noticed no overflow guests waiting in any spaces. We three would have understood, and also appreciated this being communicated at the beginning and in a much less dismissing manner. It left a sour taste in our overall experience that was otherwise met with a rather tasty food menu. I should lastly mention that the wine by the glass I had ordered was sold out, and while I did enjoy my suggested replacement, on my bill I was charged for the initial order for my first (of two) glasses. Typically I would have inquired if that adjustment could be made (mistakes happen, although servers should make it a point to go over final details of each bill before dispersing them) however, we were being hurried from our table while signing our bills.
I’m uncertain if I would return or recommend, though I deeply want to see local spaces that are offering more seasonally-driven menus thrive in this area… there’s room for a lot of improvement with the finesse of service that is leading the meal and overall experience. I’d highly suggest the staff read through Setting the Table and adopt that as the standard when it comes to hospitality and creating a lasting impression.
Thank you, chef/s, for the meal. That element, it hit all the anticipated marks.

The six of us split the large charcuterie board (very good) and the shrimp meatballs (also very good). I ordered the smoked meatloaf. It has a real bite to it. Almost bitter flavor. My wife got the rigatoni Marsala. It was full of large pieces of onion. Not good. Two people got hamburgers and were very happy. Another meat loaf got mixed reviews. Wine selections were priced higher than expected, but pretty good flavor. Disappointing. Waiter was nice. Other staff were also very nice. Park on the street.

Small town, BIG FLAVOR!! It is an absolutely beautiful gem with phenomenal food. For starters, the Brussels were amazing with great texture and flavor. The canneloni was among the best I've ever had with a well-balanced flavor profile. Whether you live in the area or just passing through, plan to stop and enjoy a beautiful meal with friendly and knowledgeable service.
This restaurant has ruined fine dining for me--it's made my standards too high! Bridge Street was one of the first fine dining restaurants I visited regularly. I first stopped by in 2019 and it's been my favorite restaurant ever since. In recent years I've traveled to many nice restaurants in the US and a handful in Europe. I've had some wonderful meals, many on par with Bridge Street, but I've never found another restaurant that unequivocally tops the food, drink, and service from this little DeWitt restaurant. In 2021 I even had a chance to visit a restaurant in Chicago with two Michelin stars. I had a good time at that restaurant, but left disappointed--I had expected the experience would be more like the amazing meals I've had at Bridge Street, for a fraction of the cost.
Stopped by Bridge Street again today and had a great time once again. I was a little nervous to eat dinner alone, but the bartender (Rachel) made me feel right at home, made me a great drink, and gave great food recommendations. My drink, appetizer, and entree cost less than $50. My entree was only $18--just $4 more than a burger at Applebee's. Great prices, great atmosphere, great service, great drinks, and phenomenal food. What else could you want in a restaurant?

A fantastic place with great food. Get the brussel sprouts, you won't regret it.

After hearing and reading reviews I was very excited to check this spot out. The atmosphere was cozy and our server was outstanding but the food was nothing to talk about. For the price I was expecting perfection. The goat cheese truffle appetizer had a strange tomato relish with spinach that was very vinegar forward and just not good. My meatloaf was dry and very spicy with no vegetables included. My date’s walleye was overcooked needing a fork and knife and was way too lemon forward with no starch included. Very wannabe bougee without the excellent food to back that status up.

Absolutely lovely experience! We recently moved back to Michigan and live within DeWitt area. This is by far the best restaurant we tried in Michigan so far. Food was delicious and we couldn’t have enough of it. We had some shrimp meatballs (best ever!), garlic bread (absolutely yum), ribeye (amazing balance of meat and fat) and risotto verde (with lots of yummy veggies). Dessert was delicious as well! Wine selection is great, so if wine is your passion this is the place for you! Looking forward for our next dinner here 5* 🫶🏻

This is the best 5-star restaurant in mid-Michigan. I look forward to the seasonal food menu and wine list. We often get flight of wines and a couple of dishes to share and take home to save room for their incredible deserts. Even the picky eaters in the group find things to enjoy, though the more adventurous among us get to bask is the chefs glory. I just don’t know how I went so long before trying this place for the first time back in 2019. Thankfully it has become a standby for celebrations and special date nights.
