What Mrmelly likes about Bridgeman's Bistro:
Been to the Bistro many times. We live in Nanaimo and have friends in the Victoria area. Nice place to meet. Food always good as is the service. A plus they take reservations View all feedback. What Sandra L doesn't like about Bridgeman's Bistro:
So disappointed with the poor quality of the food. The tempura Prawns were mostly greasy overcooked batter with what appeared to be a thin strip of prawn, not a whole prawn. They were accompanied by fishy tasting seaweed salad and a tasteless sauce. The meatloaf sandwich was cold and the meatloaf was tasteless and rubbery. Fries were hot but greasy. My husband's beer was somewhat flat. The food was overpriced, but we... View all feedback.

Situated over the water in Mill Bay this bistro has amazing views. And the food was great. And the service was fine. Will definitely be back!

The restaurant at Mill Bay Marina offers a mixed experience. Some guests express disappointment with overpriced, greasy, and tasteless food, while others find the location pleasant with good views, friendly servers, and tasty menu items. The negative reviews mention lost reservations and poor customer service, but highlights include the modern decor, wonderful view of the marina, and top-notch food. Overall, the restaurant seems to have potential but may need to work on consistency in customer service and food quality.
