Food is absolutely amazing, be prepared to eat and leave full. The bartenders take the drink program very seriously creating amazing cocktails, and they have a 4 page beer menu If that's your preference. Staff is VERY attentive to your needs helping to create a great dining experience. I called in advance to set up a surprise for my wife and the manager Sarah was very helpful making it a great surprise. Our waiter Steven was excellent and needs to be commended for his level of service he provides the customers . Will definitely be back , and recommend the place to friends. Thank you for a great dining experience.

Very rarely do I write reviews for restaurants or bars, but it goes to show the fantastic experience I had at Tapastre last night. As a first time guest, I was impressed with the relaxing, mildly lit "lounge-feel" of the bar. Along with the all craft beer menu (no macro lagers) & cocktail list, it suggests a serious emphasis on the products they serve. I'm a fairly big beer nerd & I was impressed with the range of styles that Tapastre served (not only IPAs) as well as the fair portion of taps dedicated to small, New Jersey-based breweries. I was in the mood for bar food & my cheesesteak & side salad were both above average. Although the bar & dining floor were fairly full from about 8-10 PM, it never felt congested. In addition, the bartenders were some of the most attentive & pleasant people I've come across in a restaurant setting. It also helps that there are two TVs for those who like to watch sports, but prefer the setting of something other than a sports bar. I will likely be returning to Tapastre & suggest you give it a visit yourself.
Really solid food. The burger was good and juicy. Bar has a great selection; duck fries were good. The mach and cheese could use more flavor and a cheese with a stronger flavor because all the flavor came from the seasoning on top. So unless you mix it well, it's kind of flat. The asparagus also could have used some seasoning or salt. It's still worth going to and getting some food and a drink from.
This place was great!
Fun drinks, great vibes and friendly attentive staff.
I was very impressed. I have never been, even to the town. We walked in as they opened. Liked the space; below street level , nice vibe. The two bartenders were very friendly. It was happy hour and some of the items must have been reduced. We had 6 drinks; 5 food items for 90$. All of the food was very good and compared to many other spots much better. I even ordered one a second time. It's out of my normal path. I met a friend coming thru; I would definitely go back.
Friendly staff and clean outside seating make this a fun and enjoyable place to dine out. We wanted to order more food on top of our small plates but the staff helpfully let us know that what we had ordered was already enough which was nice.
All the small plates were great, though we particularly liked the crab cakes. The pork belly fat part was a little under rendered and the meat part a bit over cooked but overall still very tasty. Duck fat fries were a hit too.
Indoor seating is available and from what I could see, the tables were all spaced reallllly far apart. Bathrooms available if you wear masks and patio seating is cleaned thoroughly between patrons. We'll be returning soon to try out the truffle pizza and reuben!
Haven't been since COVID. Nice to see still has nice beer selection.
Ok I've been living in Bridgewater for 21years and have missed this place. My family and I went here for dinner and it was awesome food. We didn't have to wait for too long to sit and the food came pretty fast. Everything we had was good. Oh yeah we pick off of each other's food ( Lol) so we can see how everything tast. I highly recommend this spot.
Great atmosphere, was with another couple. We would have dine more small plates if we were alone and sampled more. My reason for 4 stars. Great beer selection for local brewed beer.
