Bridgewater Wines+Dines

We have had multiple wonderful experiences at Bridgewater at Porters Neck..It is a lot due to our bartender and waiter, Tony. He is very attentive and so helpful in making excellent decisions in food and drink choices. The food is excellent as are the drinks. Thanks to Tony and all staff!!

Best Wines & Dines this side of Wilmington 🍷

Amazing! Tony makes the most fantastic craft cocktails! We had the nachos as a snack and they were also amazing!

The new location is outstanding. Great ambience. Open, inviting. Surrounded by wines from around the world. The cheese board was fantastic. We’ll be back, again and again.

I had a fantastic experience at the Bridgewater wines and dines this past Saturday, and it was entirely thanks to Tony. He wasn't just fast; he was genuinely attentive, making eye contact and smiling at every customer.

I ordered an espresso martini first and then a margarita, and he perfectly crafted it with the right balance and presentation. His recommendations and passion for his craft are a big reason I'll be back. He even took the time to chat with me for a moment and make me feel welcome, which was a nice personal touch that elevated the entire experience. Such a cool little place and I definitely will be back!

Our first experience was amazing! Great service and the food was stellar! So much so, that we made plans to return. Our second time ordering was take out and again the brussel sprouts were terrific! Today, we could not dine in, as a surprise for my mother, I ordered take-out dessert. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! I paid $21.19 for two toll house cookies and 1 and a half scoops of ice milk! I feel bamboozled! Maybe the chef is more concerned with the dine-in's; maybe the menu is app and entree concentrated. I cannot imagine this coming to the table as an acceptable dish.

Nice place for quiet conversation! Food was good with an honorable mention for the brussel sprouts. Definitely a try for lunch or dinner.

Trinity was an excellent server and the wine and food were fabulous

Was greeted when we first entered. Staff is very nice. The food was seasoned well and the portion was perfect. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Dinner was great and Alex makes dinner an enjoyable experience.

The bar tender, after some interaction about wine, did not tell me there is a $10 corkage fee on their wines.

This review concerns a gift basket ordered online. Kudos to Chloé for ensuring a beautiful custom basket was crafted and delivered. Chloé went over and above to follow up on my wine preferences. She sent emails and phoned to make sure I knew the status of my order. And the price was exceptionally reasonable for the quality and value of the gift. My NC friend loved it! It really did exceed expectations. Thank you, Chloé and Bridgewater staff, for handling this so well!

The food was okay. The wait for our food was long. Very expensive.

Food is amazing atmosphere is awesome and Scout is the best ever. Highly recommended.
