Short rib
Tiffany R.

My husband and I came here for a food and beer pairing with Cynosure. Overall, the experience was pretty good but it didn't knock my socks off. It's a beer and food pairing right? When we got there we were brought to our seats. It was a long shared table for everyone. It seems as they were lacking some preparation, there wasn't a course menu on the table so you had zero idea of what you were about to be served. The first course came out, a carrot soup with an IPA. The IPA didn't come out for at least 5 minutes after the soup was out. Definitely some lag time there. Carrot soup 3/5 The short rib with golden yukon mashed potatoes was next with the caison which was amazing both the beer and the food. Short rib 5/5 The dessert was an interesting dark chocolate cake with burnt marsh mellow frosting situation. It was very dense and a large portion. I would have enjoyed the cake if it was fluffy and light after the big short rib entree. Dessert 3/5 The service was good overall, it was cool to have the brewers sit next to us and chat with them about beer. I think there's some work that could be done here at these events for the price of the tickets but overall the experience was very nice.

Pork rib roast

Amazing experience!! We went there for the dinner / cynosure brewery pairing night and had a wonderful time with amazing food and beers!! You cannot miss an opportunity to eat here!!

AYCE Tanner Crab
Lesleigh P.

The Bridge Seafood in Anchorage,AK. All you can eat Tanner crab, with herb roasted Alaskan potatoes, and grilled veggies. Also, the grilled Tiger Prawns and Reindeer Sausage with rice pilaf, and grilled veggies. PS: you can also watch them fish from the shore on Ship Creek while you eat.

Menu 7/28/19

After always seeing Bridge when fishing Ship Creek, and loving the concept we finally dined here this past weekend while my mom was visiting. We were sadly disappointed. The food here is the epitome of meh. What you got for the price was disappointing, and we left feeling cheated. This is certainly what I would consider a tourist trap. The infamous starter bar that comes with your entree was nothing special. It was clean, and replenished often. The best dish at the bar was a smoked salmon pasta salad. But, everything else was just ok. It's nice that it's "all you can eat", but I'd rather just order appetizers then eat from a AYCE starter bar. The smoked salmon spread that they serve with rolls is very good, and something that is not typically served. Those two things were the most creative items on the menu. Everything on the menu is very plainly prepared, and that's ok. Sometimes you need to go back to the basics. The fish is all sourced from Alaska, and fresh. But the prices are steep for something I could literally purchase from Fred Meyer, and make myself. I was shocked that the prices rival those of some of the upper scale restaurants in town like the Crow's Nest. The starter bar is certainly included in the entree price. I'm not above paying a hefty price tag to eat something exceptional, but there was nothing exceptional about the meal I was served. They do serve a nice portion of colorful veggies and potatoes with your meat choice. Service was good, atmosphere inside was decent. The location is obviously unique, and I do love watching combat fishing. But, you can just go to Ship Creek to participate in fishing without paying the high price tag of Bridge. The best things about the restaurant were the smoked salmon pasta salad, and the smoked salmon spread. Not worth the $40 entree cost. You definitely dine here for the novelty of it all. If I dined here as a tourist I probably would have views this restaurant in a slightly different light. I'm glad I tried it, but this is the first restaurant in Anchorage that I can honestly say I will not be dining at again.

Salmon of the day
Carrie S.

This piece of fresh caught king salmon from Copper River is no doubt the best salmon I ever had. It doesn't even taste like fish The seafood chowder is sooo good, full of king crab leg meat. The crab cake is also made of king crab meat, delicious We also had reindeer sausage and prawn shrimp. The oyster however is disappointing. Fishy and one of them had a tiny bitterness to it. We are coming back to this place for sure

I didn't expect much from this restaurant, because I though it bring on the bridge was a gimmick and food would be meh. I was wrong! All the seafood is locally sourced, fresh, and delicious! I ordered the Alaskan king crab (half lb), and the meat on the crab legs were so sweet. The serving was ample. We requested view of the river, and we were seated at a great spot overlooking the water. None of the fishermen and women caught anything while we were there, but it was fun to watch them trying to catch king or coho salmon. We shared a rhubarb crisp with ice cream for dessert. That I was so good! The crisp is served piping hot. Service was pretty awesome! Our server was really attentive and friendly. I recommend here for date nights! The summer night lands for entire night of river viewing.

Vivian R.

Awesome find. Thanks to the hotel. THE BEST CRAB LEGS & SALMON EVER! The Dinner includes a salad bar. They served you bread with a salmon spread which was delicious. Great View of the river which Salmon are usually seen. Sangria was amazing! I would definitely recommend this place. Our waiter was excellent.

This was the highlight of my stop in Anchorage, Alaska! When we arrived in Anchorage and checked into the hotel, this was the restaurant that was recommended. I was thrilled that this recommendation was made, as I had done my research before arriving and thought the same thing! Not only do they have great food and dessert, the environment surrounding the restaurant was what made this place to eat even more special. Depending on the time that you are there, you can see several salmon Fisherman fishing in the river that runs underneath the restaurant. I stayed outside for a long time before we ate, as they were so entertaining to watch! Sidenote, if you are looking to see even more salmon, walk down to the right of the restaurant, and at the far end of the river, there is a gathering space of all the salmon who actually made it upstream! It is incredible to see. We were able to walk right in on a Saturday night, but we did have to wait a few minutes for our seat. It was not packed but definitely enough people that I would recommend calling ahead for a table. We asked to sit near the window, as we wanted to continue to watch the fisherman. That was easy for them to do! It will be expensive, so just know going into this restaurant, you will spend a lot of money-- so just enjoy it! The fish is fresh! Just remember, you were in Alaska where most find dining fish restaurants are more expensive than what you may see in the inland US. However, we found that most fish places range from $35-$50-they were all about the same regardless of where you were. Great experience, and I would highly recommend!

Probably had to high of expectations. It was really good, dont get me wrong, but where we live we get great seafood as well. The salad bar had some good choices, pineapple coleslaw, spicy potato salad was delicious, a cucumber salad, and a smoked Salmon pasta salad. (Didnt care for the beet salad or the feta ranch.) The seafood chowder was really good, the bottom of the soup was delicious as it seemed like the spices settled. The sourdough rolls and Salmon spread were great. The Alaskan mac n cheese was mediocre. To much reindeer sausage and bread crumbs and not enough cheese. The crab legs were really good. Didn't taste that much fresher than what we eat in Oregon. The fun part was watching people fish for Salmon. If you're in town when it's open over the 3 months it's worth coming to for sure.

King crab and Halibut
Nancy F.

We asked the hotel desk at the Hilton for the best fresh fish in Downtown Anchorage, they sent us on a short walk to The Bridge. What a great recommendation! Their salad bar is not a typical salad bar, it was fresh and delicious with tabouli, a salmon pasta salad, pineapple coleslaw, etc... My 1/2 lb king crab legs were wonderful and the side of assorted potatoes and grilled veggies along with the salad bar made for a perfect meal. My husband loved his Halibut as well. They serve bread with a salmon spread that was unusual and tasty. This may seem odd but the tap water was the best water I have ever tasted! We are at the small but friendly bar, our bartender Kristen was on the ball and took great care of us. The restaurant is on a bridge going over a stream, we enjoyed watching the fishermen catch big fish while we dined.

Front of menu.

This restaurant is a tourist attraction located over a river, where diners can watch fishermen in the river while eating. Only paid parking is available in the parking lot so be sure to pay before heading in. Be sure to make a reservation because they were fully booked when we ate in on a Tuesday night. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Service is awesome! The menu offers a wide selection of fresh, locally sourced seafood and drinks. We had the salmon of the day, king crab legs, salmon mac and cheese, and ribeye steak. Overall, the portions were great but everything tasted too salty.

Tanner crab legs
Monica M.

Stopped in here for our first dinner in Anchorage and loved it! Really good value with the free bread and salmon spread and salad bar that comes with every meal. Can see fisherman outside the window and is literally a bridge over the creek/river. Service was great and gave my dad a free birthday dessert of choice (bread pudding) for his birthday. Was really special and we had a great time!

Alaskan Hard Seltzer
Stephanie H.

Really enjoyed this restaurant, watching people fish for salmon on the river while we ate. The food was delicious and service was professional. The only issue was the noise level which was difficult for my husband due to his hearing issues.

Sockeye salmon steak. Completely raw on the inside.

I also tried their beer flight, I don't know if I've ever mentioned beer in any of my reviews, cause I typically don't drink it. I was absolutely shocked to discover that the stout was one of my favorites, with that dark chocolate finish. All of the beers were really good, just a bit filling. Today I sampled the French dip and a slice of pizza, and both of those were absolutely fantastic. Had the calamari again, and everyone agreed that it was pretty much the best ever. Service last night was very good, our server took care to explain the food and drink options as well as answering any questions. He was very attentive and friendly. I went with a large group for lunch today and our server was excellent, she nailed every order and was friendly and quite attentive. Large groups can be a hassle, but she handled it excellently. The atmosphere last night was quite busy as you would imagine on a Friday night. That's why the good service and great food is extra impressive. We had a private room for our group lunch today, and it was quite nice as well. I would absolutely come back here again, and list them as a must visit for anyone visiting Anchorage. So far the food scene in Anchorage just doesn't seem to miss. Kudos to the management and staff for running an excellent restaurant operation and delivering both quality customer service and superior food product.

It was a solid offering, and could have been better if the garlic mashed potatoes were more tasty (the Alaska Lounge horseradish mashed potatoes would have been a better accompaniment) and seasonal vegetables which in this case were carrots and parsnips neither of which are my favorite (and in my book it's not a vegetable if it's not green) - sourdough bread pudding with vanilla ice cream - 4/5, I love a good bread pudding. This one was good, not great. It was an enormous portion and sitting in a pool of butter? something else? and not so delicious that I felt like I needed to have more than a few bites. I was glad I went for the fun atmosphere and would return just for the seafood chowder.

Orso was one of the few nicer restaurants in Anchorage that was open on a Sunday so we headed there after a very long day out at Seward. We arrived around 7:30pm. It wasn't super busy so we were seated immediately. Our server suggested some drink options based on what we liked (me: gin; my husband: bourbon). They were very good. We got the calamari appetizer - I loved the artichokes and thin lemon slices added in, plus both fried and fresh calamari in the dish. I got the Parmesan crusted halibut and my husband ordered the halibut with diavolo pasta. Both were very good. My dish came with asparagus and mushroom risotto; the risotto was pretty salty but still good. The fish was cooked well and I enjoyed it. Overall we had a very nice dinner at Orso, and I'd recommend if you're looking for a more special dinner. As I mentioned it was later on a Sunday so not busy - so the atmosphere was pretty quiet and the ambiance was cozy.

But what really made the night special was our server. She had to be one of the best in the city! This was my birthday dinner, and she made me feel nothing short of special from beginning to end. Even when it was time to leave, the hospitality continued. They boxed up our leftovers for us and took extra care packaging everything because they knew we were traveling. That small detail meant so much and earned them even MORE brownie points with me. The food, the flavor, the service, the hospitality--10/10 across the board. The PERFECT way to end my Alaska birthday adventure. I'll definitely be back whenever Anchorage brings me this way again!

It was fantastic. Best in the country!! My wife had the halibut Our table was so dark. It was very difficult to read the menu. She saw Halibut and ordered it When we got home, we looked up the menu online in our Well lit office. We could see that the halibut advertises that it comes with pasta. We missed that in the dark. While the piece of halibut was cooked perfectly and was quite tender It was the most uninventive plating I've ever seen. Dear chef, you can do better!! It was on a very bland pasta Usually, (it was easy to assume) That the halibut would've been plated with maybe some vegetables or on some smashed potatoes or other minced root creation Anybody can make a boring pasta We didn't eat it. I actually started to eat it and I spit it out. I deserve better! I had the seafood cioppino 5 stars It was everything I expected I thought it was a little light on the clams mussels But it was tasty. It came with a wonderful side of crusted French garlic bread that was perfect for soaking up the tomato base to wash down with a sip of wine Pumpkin bread pudding, dessert! Best bread, pudding I've ever had 5 stars. My less than stellar rating is based on the price and the uninventive halibut plating. This is the first time I've ever felt like dinging a restaurant based on price Considering I've had whirl class helmet in Fairbanks on a golf course And at the pump house I confess that kind of blew me away that while the meal was pretty good I've never complained before about how much good food costs Good food is not cheap. I expect to pay a good deal for it... But somehow, I felt put out when I left!
