The service was very good. The restaurant was noisy but not offensively loud. If you were looking for a quiet environment though, this would not be it. The food was very good and portions were quite large. Whether or not it was required to pay for parking in the hotel's parking garage was unclear so I paid $12.00 to park. Restaurant patrons should be able to park free of charge but I paid to ensure my car would not be towed. The hotel should make it more clear as to whether or not restaurant patrons enjoy free parking.

The menu is significantly smaller than it used to be, but the quality of the food was just as good. Service was slow; one waiter was taking care of the whole dining room.

Loved the view of the harbor via Tamiami . Service was a little slow but understandable given the Embassy Suite's "Happy Hour" for residents.

We ate off the Savor Sarasota menu for lunch, and our meals were not worth the discounted price of $25. The 'crab cake' appetizer was mealy with no evidence of crabmeat. Barely browned in a skillet, came out lukewarm. The chicken sandwich was at least edible, as opposed to the appetizer but again, the bun was barely toasted, and the french fries tasted reheated instead of fresh. We wanted to sit outside at a table with a view, but the area was being cleaned so it was closed for 2 hours. Service was abysmally slow, with the greeter having to step in to help deliver our food, despite ours being one of only a few tables occupied at the time. Will not return. Service was extra slow even though we were one of very few occupied tables.

Absolutely delightful dining experience at Bridges Restaurant! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and impeccable service. The ambiance was charming, offering a perfect blend of elegance and coziness. The menu was a culinary delight, with each dish beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Bridges Restaurant truly exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return for another memorable meal.

Seriously avoid this place unless you plan on sitting at the bar. Our server was completely untrained on beverage and food service...management should be ashamed. We got our drinks and some pre-seared tuna sashimi, paid $50 and left to find a better option.
