nticipation has been high ever since the Coming Soon sign first appeared on the corner of Bridge Street and Main Street, a space that’s been noticeably vacant since Estelita’s Restaurant closed back in September 2024. The wait is finally over as the aptly named Bridge & Main held its grand opening on February 2nd, offering an expansive menu of food and drinks along with elevated views of the bridge and river.

Decked out in a décor of dark blues and golds, the restaurant will be open for the entire first week of service, after which they will be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. According to co-owner Timothy Hoffman, Bridge & Main is welcoming for locals and visitors alike, whether it’s for a casual drink at the full bar or a date night out. “We’ll be serving tasty American classics with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options, craft cocktails and mocktails, and some local beers featured on tap,” says Hoffman.

Dinner starters such as Seafood Cake, Breaded Chicken Fingers and Bacon Skewer, and Cajun Mussels average about $15.00, while entrees such as Pork Schnitzel, Crispy Backed Half Duck, and Angel Hair Alfredo are priced around $28.00. Two highlights of the brunch menu are the Waffle & Chicken Skewer ($18.00) and Stuffed Buttermilk Belgium Waffles ($18.00). “Our menu is a lot more extensive than most of the menus people see up here, so we’re excited to offer some new options and alternatives,” says Hoffman.  

Hoffman has the restaurant business in his blood—both his grandparents and great-grandparents were restauranters in Atlantic City. Hoffman and Bridge & Main’s chef Bonny Stinnard settled on Narrowsburg for their new venture with the hope of creating an upscale space that appeals to both locals as well as clients from the city. “Bonny has a pretty big following from the Honesdale area, so we have something for everyone,” he says. 

Linda and Jeff Dexter of Beach Lake, Pa. snagged the first reservation on opening night. “Obviously, when you come to Narrowsburg, you cross the bridge, and this has been sitting here and been vacant for quite some time. Then they put up the Bridge and Main sign, which is kind of intriguing, and I like the name,” says Jeff, who is the 2026 Chairperson for the Upper Delaware Council in Narrowsburg. 

“We’re looking forward to see a restaurant that stays,” adds Linda.

When the weather breaks, Hoffman plans to have live entertainment and outdoor seating on the front and back patios. In addition to dinner, lunch is available on Fridays and Saturdays and a brunch/lunch menu on Sundays. “Bonny’s food is extraordinary, and we have a great team that’s been with us for a little while now,” says Hoffman. “We’re not here to just see what happens. We’re in it to win it.”

The restaurant will be taking reservations for Valentine’s Day when a regular dinner menu and  Chef’s Specials will be offered. Reservations are suggested. For the full menus and opening times, visit www.bridgeandmainny.com.
