    I was disappointed that we were moved outside because we had one more person to the party of four at about one hour from the reservation. I was not able to see the inside of the restaurant and after sitting outside, I lost my interest on checking the place out. The food was good but too pricey, good thing we had a great team of people taking care of us.

    The décor is very nice. We love the service and bus boys were excellent. The food were in salty side. Maybe cater to the senior. I wish the restaurant can bake their own bread. I know they can do better. Need to more creative on the menu.

    We were there for lunch. The restaurant was not busy. We waited well over 30 minutes to get a drink order and then another 30 minutes to place our food order. I guess they were lacking servers. I would not go back.

    We ordered the prawn noodle salad and it was perfectly tasteless. I asked for extra dressing and was given a dressing that didn’t even go with the salad. We could barely eat it. Our server was lovely and apologetic but I’m not sure I’ll go back. Been going here for years. Maybe they should remove this item from the menu.

    The duck “bolognese” was inedible. The dish was not a bolognese and the duck was rancid. The shrimp salad with the noodles which is usually very good was under spiced and barely edible. They did take the pasta dish off the bill but the server was too busy to check in and notice that the food was inedible

    Server was pretentious, Air fried clicker flavorless, asparagus old - discolored. Coconut cheese cake was dry (it looked like it was dumped on the plate-and slid to the edge!) Overall the staff was awkward. The food did not appear to be checked for presentation before leaving the kitchen. No reason to return.

    We went to Bridges last Friday and the food (pork chop and salmon) was the best that it has ever been. We returned on Monday and we both ordered the pork chop and the quality was much worse than on Friday. Did someone leave the pork out overnight? Our friend ordered the shrimp and the sauce was so salty that she could not finish it. The bus boy told us that the server would come to the table to discuss but all that he did was present the check. Very disappointing for one of our favorite restaurants.

    Came here for family dinner to celebrate my husbands birthday and made a note in my open table reservation. Server was friendly and we ordered the special (flat iron and prawns); burger; and two of us did the prix fixe for Tri-valley restaurant week. We overhead another server ask her table if they were celebrating anything and I got concerned maybe our server didn’t know about the birthday. I went up to the matradee and double checked the Open table note and she assured me that our server was aware. Well, dessert came around and we got our two desserts that went with our prix fixe and nothing else. Very disappointed. What’s the point of including the note if it doesn’t get honored?!? Don’t think I’ll be returning for a special occasion anytime soon, my youngest pointed out the crowd was very much on the older side, hardly saw any kids. Guess I’ll only come here if it’s for a work lunch and someone else picks it, definitely not high on my list - will opt for Forbes Mill or Piatti or Esin.

    Showed up a few minutes early, was shown to our table immediately. Saturday evening, so we anticipated not having a quiet dinner. Place was packed, which was a good sign. Service was attentive but not over bearing. Looked at the menu before making reservations, thus not shocked at the prices: typical for the area for finer dining establishments. Mostly everything was to our liking from what we ordered, though the risotto was watery. Our server graciously offered to replace it without hesitation. The replacement seared tuna was scrumptious. My duck ravioli was rich: I had no problem cleaning my plate. Love that they support the local brewery with tap offerings from Danville Brewery. It was noisier than I’d have liked, though that was mostly due to an exuberant patron behind us and, again, the volume of diners in the restaurant contributed. Can’t fault the restaurant for the volume, though it did detract a little. Overall, though, a most pleasant experience. We’re starting to explore the local food scene more and more and this was a pretty damn good place to start for our forays into Danville.

    We ordered an appetizer at the same time that ordered our entree. We noticed that tables of people that arrived and ordered after us received their appetizers a log time before we did and their entrees just about the same time as we received our appetizer. By the time we received our entrees the other tables were either finishing their desserts or had paid their check. The food was outstanding, salmon and pork chop, almost worth the wait.

    Enjoyed our first visit to Bridges. The service was warm and attentive. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts and the Lettuce Wraps were delicious appetizers. The bacon and lentil soup was savory and satisfying. Everyone enjoyed their entrees including the Salmon, Pacific Tombo, Thai Curry Prawns, and Duck Ravioli. Would recommend any of these. The cheesecake was wonderful.

    We normally love Bridges for celebrations as they always deliver on their dinners. We went for Valentine's Day lunch and ordered the Cashew Chicken Salad sandwich and the Banh Mi sandwich. Both sandwiches were okay/good but not outstanding like what we normally get. The pork tenderloin for the Banh Mi was a bit dry and was lacking more flavor like what you would get at a Vietnamese restaurant. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch but was disappointed due to our expectation of the quality of flavor we expect from Bridges.
