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. Last the size portion is very small for the price. I stand by and approve this message, I am a Retired Chef Military.

Went there a few weeks ago for my birthday, and I'm currently prescribed to a very restrictive diet. Nicole, our server, went above and beyond to check even the blackening seasoning on the tuna (which I didn't even think about!) and recommended her favorite items that didn't have any of my restrictions in them. She was absolutely wonderful, and it was an amazing birthday dinner even with my limitations. I appreciate it deeply! Beyond that, the meals (my very specific one and the rest of my family's that ordered a variety of foods) were excellent. Thank you!!!

This is the paramount place to eat on the water within the greater Wilmington area. The seafood is extremely fresh along with the manager changing up specials weekly. Whether you live here or are visiting, this is a must place to try in the staple if you live here.

Had the best dinner with my family of 8 people. The food was fantastic and our server Jordan went above and beyond for us. He was flawless with everything and didn’t miss a beat (and my family tends to all talk at once ). We will definitely be back and hope to get to sit at Jordon’s table.
Thanks Jordan!!

Started our reservation with a host acting like we didn't have any reservation. He then stated he'd take us to the VIP section, which was the opposite of VIP, sure... then ordered drinks and got water (the only water we'd get even though they were empty). The cocktails were fine. Appetizers were ok too, best was crab dip with plenty of bread. Brussel Sprouts were not good. We each got different fish for entrees. I got mine Blackened (Mahi), and everybody else had bland fish, with little seasoning. The Tuna was good, too, though. The waiter wasn't attentive at all. You needed to flag him down for anything - even more cocktails and dessert. I put this on my do not recommend.

It was one of the best meals I have had in Wilmington by far. And in a nice low-key private environment.

For over thirty years The Bridge-Tender has been my favorite restaurant in Wilmington NC. The food and service is great and if you're just off the beach or boat.. Slip into the Bridge-Tender Bar. The oyster rockefeller and Cocnut beer battered shrimp are world class.
For years when I was a younger man the trip to The Bridge-Tender was my Date Package #1. LoLx2
