Bridge Street Bistrot & Wine Bar

Sehr feines Restaurant Top Qualität zu fairen Preisen. Muss reservieren

Bridge Street is one of the best kept secrets in Portsmouth. Is it even a secret, really? Set just off to the side of the main strip, Bridge Street is tucked in among the houses of Portsmouth residents. It is some of the best French food I’ve had outside of France, too. Their wine list is great, their chef is spectacular, and their service is mostly good but can sometimes be so-so (we’ve dined her probably five times and only had one not the best experience, so more good than so-so). Their Filet au Poivre and Coq au Van are two delightful recommendations and be sure you don’t skip dessert!

Excellent food , get on the email list for menus and reservations! Great wine selection , cozy home feeling!

Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of attending a cooking class and meal at Bridge Street Bistro. Causal and welcoming, the class was very informative and the company of other patrons was great fun. There’s nothing like sitting in a kitchen watching Stephan and Chris prepare a meal. The conversations were lively and the food was exceptional. A good time was had by all.

First time to this restaurant. Dinner for 3. Unfortunately, the cuisine was disappointing. The appetisor portobello mushroom with crab and lobster lacked flavor. The bread basket was nice. The turkey entree was dry. The potato cake was OK. For dessert, the chocolate flourless cake was tasteless and inedible. We had a great time because our company was sensational. Yet, disappointingly the cuisine was way off the mark. Not traditional French cuisine. Wine list extensive. The service OK. As we left the restaurant, (2nd last table to leave) we noted that the server did not thank us or bid us farewell as we walked toward the exit. We left a $40 gratuity on our $209 tab. I would not rush back to this restaurant. Hence the 3 stars. They can do so much better and I believe that they may well know this to be true. I feel that Bridge Street Bistro has seen better days.

Fabulous , simply Fabulous
