This was my first time being here and it did not disappoint. Being the Four Season Hotel you would think that the food would be expensive but it was not. Our serve was great and the red was accommodating to the two friends in our party that have food allergies. With views of the Harbor on sunny day this place is perfect. There is our door seating but we did not sit outside because of the wind gusts. They have an extensive tequila collection. Agave if I am not mistaken. It was worth every dollar.

We were impressed with Bridges...the atmosphere was fun, the food was phenomenal (started with Bruschetta and firecracker shrimp, entrees of scallops w/mushroom risotto and Filet & Crabcake w/asparagus and mashed potatoes, dessert was Lemonberry cake). Our server, Chasity was friendly, prompt, and allowed us to space out our courses so we didn't feel rushed. We enjoyed being able to dress casual while enjoying a stellar meal. It IS quite loud in the restaurant but we were able to converse easily.

We enjoyed an early dinner at The Goat. We really enjoyed the food. I had the smothered chicken burrito and a very well made margarita. My friend enjoyed the blackened mahi sandwich with a glass of wine. The side salads were fresh with a light dressing. The service was on point with plenty of checking in and refills of our water glasses. It was fun to watch all of the Navy Midshipmen walk by during dinner. We did have to ask for the music to be turned down since we were seated near the speaker and had a hard time having a conversation. They were very amenable and turned it down some. I would definitely return for another fresh well prepared meal with solid service.
