    Our server was most helpful, and I always like when she is the one to help us. Everything was great, and my guests from AZ were so happy to be back visiting in Danville, where they moved from, 4 years ago.

    Bridges is the nicest restaurant there is in the East Bay 680 corridor, whether you’re interested in lunch or dinner. Beautiful ambience, spacious covered outdoor seating, broad menu, yummy food and drink options, and great service. My only complaint is the hard wooden chairs that were bothersome after an hour or more of sitting!

    The food was amazing. My boyfriend and I decided to split the pork chop dish and the burger dish and they were so nice, they cut and placed on separate plates for us. The food was extremely delicious. We also tried the salad with goat cheese and candied pecans, very refreshing. Their drinks were spectacular. I had the  raspberry lemon drop and my boyfriend had the bridges Manhattan. Both were great.

    Great patio lunch. Very nice waiter who was attentive ...our guests arrived late and he was very accommodating. Food was good; we got a variety of items and appetizers. Fried cauliflower and frites were excellent. Great salads, scramble, hamburger. You can find a variety of different items. Something for everyone! We got two birthday cupcakes to celebrate my husband's birthday and mine. Love the ambiance of the patio and the inside of restaurant is romantically elegant.

    Bridges never fails to impress consistently delivering wonderful dishes in a comfortable setting with a very pleasant waitstaff. It's a great setting for special dinner celebrations and client lunch meetings. My only concern is that the menu is very predicatable with the core being their standard fare. The menu would benefit from some new, innovative dishes.

    This would have been a 5 star review, except for the condition of the dining room. The floor had chunks of food on the carpet in several places in our section and crumbs on the chairs. I would have thought the dining room would have been cleaned up for the dinner crowd. This was very odd so I'm not sure if this happens regularly during the week. Food, server, and live music were awesome!

    A real bummer. We were excited to try this restaurant, but we’re really let down. Ordered steaks cooked medium, and they came out very well done. The roasted carrots that came with my steak were burnt cinders. One of us ordered risotto which was way over seasoned (salty). When served, the staff just reached across and over the table. The bus boy did the same when filling our water, and spilled on the table or our plates each time. Won’t be eating here for a while.

    Mother’s Day brunch was outstanding. When we arrived our table was ready and service was prompt. Menu selection was excellent and food was delicious. I took my 96 year old Aunt for her birthday in April and Mother’s Day in May. Bridges is her favorite restaurant and they never disappoint.

    Went for Mothers Day brunch. I had the “brisket hash” which was mainly potatoes. Hardly any meat in it. The wait staff was young and nervous as they dropped many plates around us. It became comical.

    Bridges is a neighborhood gem and is well managed. Recently my wife and I have noticed that the restaurant has not been as crowded as it once was and certainly not as much as the pizza parlor down the road. We had a lovely dinner outdoors starting with a delicious cauliflower appetizer followed by a nicely dressed chopped romaine Caesar salad and several pasta entrees. Our shared dessert was a pleasant peau de creme.
