About The Bridge Tender

The Bridge Tender in Wilmington offers a classy atmosphere and some of the best seafood in town. The crab dip and clam chowder are highly recommended appetizers. The restaurant is great for entertaining out-of-town guests, with excellent service and delicious entrees like the New York strip. The scallops and bread pudding are also standout menu items. The restaurant has ample parking and is easy to access. Many guests have reported pleasant early evening experiences, with quick service and tasty dishes like the horseradish encrusted tuna and chef's trio. While some dishes received mixed reviews, guests have praised the catch of the day, especially the grouper, though its price has surprised some. Overall, The Bridge Tender is a nice spot for celebrations, family gatherings, or a relaxing end to a beach day. Reservations are accepted, and there is a bar area for walk-ins.

I attended Bridge Tender restaurant for this past Thanksgiving with my family and it was Horrible....vegetables not season blend, just should have been traditional Turkey and dressing, not how they had serve it, carrots no taste spinach no taste.

I will just stop there. I've been living here for about 5 years, my 2nd visit here at this restaurant I will NOT attend another Thanksgiving meal here.
