Bridge Street Bistro made our wedding the most magical day of my life. Jennifer made every wish come true. Coming from Michigan, communication was imperative. My many questions and requests via e-mail were answered and fulfilled quickly. Although she remained the utmost professional, she gave me the sense that she truly cared about my wedding day. She worked with us to get exactly what we needed. We opted to rent out the 2nd-floor restaurant. The atmosphere was intimate in a very classic decor. And that view! What a breathtaking sunset! The dinner options our guests were allowed to choose from provided for a wide variety of tastes. The sea bass with its buttery texture was one of the favorites. Jennifer also aided me in finding our entertainment for the evening. She made everything so easy. We continue to visit Bridge Street Bistro every year on our anniversary, and Jennifer along with the staff make us feel as special as we did on our wedding day.
