Having been a patron of the ""old"" Bridgeport for 10+ years I eagerly anticipated the reopening after the long remodel process. What an disappointment! The new Bridgeport feels like every other Pearl-district bar/restaurant. What a loss for Portland! There are now three different menus to choose from, each equally inflexible (""no substitutions!"") and uninspired. Based on our experience, I got a stong sense that Bridgeport is trying to ""weed out"" the old patrons, especially families with kids. Citysearch should also make their listing clear to show that the newly opened Bridgeport is completely different that the old one, as all of the pre-2005 restaurant reviews of Bridgeport are really no longer relevant.
