Their first business was a market in the South End of Concord, “Ordway’s Market”, where Soon-Jin use to bake the best fresh breads, muffins and bagels. He use to cut high end quality steaks and travel down to the docks for his fresh seafood to sell at our market. He introduced Ordway’s first fresh homemade subs, soups & chowders and pizzas. He later started cooking his Asian Fried Rice and Noodles and introduced hot subs. He also learned a new style of cooking called “Hibachi”, Japanese steal grill cooking.
His passion grew for wanting to own his own restaurant. When his daughter and son were accepted into New Hampton School, Soon-Jin started looking for his next venture in the Newfound Area. He purchased the Bridgewater Inn in November of 2000. He introduced Tempura Shrimp, Wood fired Brick Oven Pizza, Homemade Pasta and the area’s first Japanese Steakhouse. He wanted to keep the main dining room American & Italian cuisine, with fresh pasta dishes, Black Angus steaks and the freshest seafood. He turned a small 4 season porch into Bridgewater Inn’s Japanese Steakhouse where he personally cooks in front of his guest on his teppanyaki table.
His wife, Dianna, had prior experience in serving and bartending where she took those skills to running the front of the house. This husband and wife team are now in their 23rd season with The Bridgewater Inn and still going strong.
Their son, Justin has been a very important part of the business, with great skills in the kitchen, which he has been head line chief for 13 years now. Soon-Jin and Justin are some of the best chefs in the area, with both of them introducing great meal creations for their dining guest.
In the many years here, changes have been introduced…
2000 the creation of the Japanese steakhouse and the building of the Brick oven for the woodfired pizza.
2004 the major addition was added which is now known as the sunroom (main dining room) and the pool room, in the Tavern.
2007 the back deck was added which introduced outdoor dining.
2017 a roof was added to the back deck to help protect from the rain and the sun.
2019 a bar was added to the outdoor deck.
2021 renovating the Japanese Steakhouse.
Soon-Jin, Dianna and Justin want to invite you to try the Bridgewater Inn Experience and Discover everything that they have to offer, from dining, tavern, entertainment and lodging.
