Dock and Dine at The Bridge: Boat Up Restaurant in Westport, Connecticut
Boat Up: Dock & Dine With Us
Your summer table is just a few steps from the dock.
There’s something different about arriving by water. The hush of the Saugatuck River tide, the reflection of the late-afternoon sun setting over Compo Beach, the quiet anticipation as the dock comes into view. At The Bridge at Saugatuck, that experience is just the beginning of your evening.

The Moment Coastal Connecticut Has Been Waiting For
There’s a time of day here that local Westporters wait for—the sun low, the breeze gentle, the river shimmering like glass. And now, you can finally arrive to dinner by boat at The Bridge.
You tie off the lines, step ashore, and there’s that smell—grilled scallops, ocean brine, fresh brioche pull-apart buns just out of the oven. The Bridge doesn’t rush during the day. Especially not in Summer
