Loved the new menu items. Gina was our server for dinner and as always she was outstanding. Efficient and quick to wait on us and refill our drinks. The food was delicious. In the morning we ate breakfast at Bridges and Belinda is always so attentive and super sweet. She greeted us with a huge smile and made sure the coffee was continually flowing. The breakfast was equally delicious. We can’t wait to come back again.
