Bridges is such a nice place, but the food continues to decrease in quality. I have the ribeye special and it was honestly the worst steak I’ve ever had in my life. The only thing good was the wine we brought the friends we met and the truffle fries. It’s disappointing because it used to be a go to for us.

Great atmosphere! My husband had the curry dish which was amazing. The shishto peppers appetizer was delicious! I ordered the risotto which was a horrible bowl of mush. I only had a few bites, it was practically inedible. Loved the live music and ambiance, will just stay away from risotto next time!

Lovely, private setting, with a delightful, covered patio for al fresco dining. We chose the outdoor option and loved the table we were seated at, under a trellis cover and surrounded by trees and a garden. Our server was attentive, but not pushy--no rush, which our group was grateful for as we had not seen each other in a while. One of us opted for the burger, which was cooked perfectly, and the truffle fries were yummy. The rest of us ordered salads: the Cesar salad was tasty with just salad or with the added grilled chicken. The special, prawn Louie was generous with beautiful, chilled prawns on top of the lettuce and Louie dressing. For dessert we share the vanilla and spumoni gelato, both of which were of excellent quality. Very good wine list. Indoor dining is intimate and beautifully decorated, so try this for dinner in the fall or winter months.

The server forgot to bring a wine bucket, even though she offered one and we said yes. They ran out of halibut; we could only get one order, and they ran out of the dessert we wanted.

Well it was fine up until I tried to use a gift card along with my CC to settle the bill. My family took my elderly mother to the car and I waited at the table. Our server ran after my family and told my oldest son in front of Grandma (her birthday) that the gift card had expired which I think is A. not possible and B. illegal in CA. She never came to speak directly with me, still in the dining room waiting to sign my CC for the balance. Naturally my son and grandma were embarrassed. After 25 minutes of sitting in an empty dinning room, the manager told me she had to call the owner to approve the gift card which he did (like she was doing me a favor) and then gave me a receipt with the wrong balance amount and the gratuity already included. My wife and I are both gainfully employed and can afford to pay our bills. I don't like being treated like some kind of a grifter. The restaurant business is a competitive market and we will not be going back there and I will tell anyone who listens what a poor experience we had. RPL

The food at Bridges is very, very good. My husband had the pork chop and it was cooked perfectly, served over a delicious mound of sweet potatoes. I had the tuna Tombo - sushi grade served over black rice. Lately the tuna has been my favorite dish and last night, it didn't disappoint.

Easy to make reservations online and pleasant and accommadating when adjusting our late arrival. We were seated promptly, hostess was professioal yet casual and fun. Very pretty setting and all wait staff was friendly and attentive. We needed to ask for bread and salt but no hesitation in providing it. Cocktails were tasty and delivered in a timely manner. Great experience all around and happy to host our visiting friends and relatives there!

The food, service and setting are all very enjoyable. There are limited vegetarian choices, and no vegan entree choice. We ordered several desserts after our meal. The only one I would definitely suggest you avoid is the fruit crisp, unless you like a softer, “mushy” crisp. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

We recieved a special gift certificate from our family. We were so excited to dine at Bridges because we are new to the area and had heard it was special. The evening was beautiful and our server was very nice. Our cocktails were great. We ordered salmon and pork chops and they were overcooked. We did not want to admit it, but eventually had to face the fact that this fact kind of ruined our dinner. Both require a fair amount of expertise since they both can be overcooked pretty easily. I called a few days later and left a message for the manager - letting them know that I was calling because I did not want to write a review for all to see. No one called back. So.....here it is folks. Chef needs help - we won't be back now - too many other options. Bummer.

We were kindly greeted immediately when we entered the restaurant. When seated we were given water and shortly after our server greeted us. She gave us time to make drink and starter decisions. When ready she took our dinner order. She checked back with us without being overly attentive. Drinks, wine and food were excellent. A lovely evening for my husbands birthday.
