We visited Bridge Tender on a Friday evening. The atmosphere is lovely and the view on the water was great. We were very impressed with the quality of this restaurant. We both loved our salads and the Mahi Mahi dinner special. We'll be back!

My wife and I decided to splurge a bit on dinner for our Anniversary. We had read the reviews on The Bridge Tender so we gave it a try. It was a beautiful evening so we ate on the patio. My wife had flounder and I had a seafood pasta. Overall, the food was good, the service was excellent. The... More

I met a friend here for drinks and lunch recently. Food and service both were quite nice. We really enjoyed sitting out on the waterfront watching boats sail by while taking in some warm sunshine.

Stumbled on this wonderful restaurant while exploring the area and had one of the best meals ever! Tried the grouper at Karen's suggestion, a great server, and it was absolutely delicious. Even the salad was amazing. Consider my husband and myself to be fairly sophisticated foodies, and this meal was probably one of our most memorable. Kudos to the staff,... More

Having been an out of state resident of Wrightsville Beach for half a century - the Bridge Tender still rocks as the number one place to eat! Food is always of highest of qualities, pricing keeps the rift raft away. 2 things concern me and that is the wine list is very limited and seems to be scaling to blue... More

I had the gorgonzola walnut salad while sitting outside soaking up the sunshine on a beautiful day! My friend had a seared tuna wrap and we both more than satisfied. Every plate that passed by looked delicious. Would highly recommend! They have bar specials for appetizers and a sunset 3 course special as well.

It almost feels as if visitors from around the world stumble upon this gem while parking their yacht and fueling up for the next cruise. How lucky they are when they eat here! I have never had a bad meal here and it is a fantastic setting.
