    We had wonderful service and delicious food! We definitely would will be back again. Great experience! Apps: mozzarella sticks 3/5, shrimp cocktail 3/5, shaking beef lettuce wraps 4/5 (if sauce was thicker it would be even better as well as better sear on meat). Mains: Wasabi crusted salmon 4/5 less sweet potato mash, ratio was too much for fish, Mexican shrimp in thai red sauce 4/5, the noodles were not what we expected or how it was described by waitress but sauce is amazing and worth it! The chicken with hot honey 5/5 amazing and just right. Desserts: molten chocolate cake with gelato 4.5/5, two scoops of gelato (strawberry & vanilla) 5/5, the apple crustada with vanilla gelato 5/5 Service: 5/5 waitress was amazing, staff kept rotating and refilling water, removing plates and everyone was friendly and polite.

    Bridges Easter menu was unfortunately boring and disappointing. It’s one of my favorite restaurants. This missed the mark this time. The corned beef hash was terrible. The upside the cocktails were great. Our server was excellent too. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Bridges is usually so much tastier .

    We celebrated a friend’s birthday at Bridges, and enjoyed a very nice brunch. The salmon salad and the Benedict were both delicious!

    Food quality has been suffering since the Pandemic. It really isn’t the Bridge’s of years ago. Both the quality and presentation of our dishes were poor. Service was excellent.

    Very disappointing evening. We arrived on time for our 6:00 PM reservation, were promptly seated, but it was slow going the whole way. It took fifteen minutes to get a drink order in, another fifteen minutes to get our drinks, but worst of all, our dinner was not served until 7:15. We had an event at the theater next door at 7:30, so that gave us around ten minutes to wolf down our meal. And I mean wolf. Our server, Anna, tried her best, but she was overwhelmed. Looks like too many folks were booked at the same time.

    Food has become disappointing. I ordered wine, braised, short rib pasta,, the chunks of grey beef were hidden under the pasta and shaved Parmesan, no sign of the rich wine based flavor you would expect from this dish. Instead, the beef tasted like reheated leftover flavorless steak. For the price, there are much better meals to be had in town. Very unfortunate because the atmosphere is still so lovely.
