Bridges Restaurant and Bar

Came here for a private early Mother’s Day Brunch. Brunch menu was reasonably priced. Food was delicious - Chicken & Waffles with candied bourbon pecans, Avocado Toast with Overeasy Egg & Mixed Green Salad, and Eggplant Sandwich with Mixed Green Salad. Served with freshly baked cornbread and whipped butter. Our group was very happy with the menu selection. Mimosas are reasonably priced at $4/glass - The choices were Tropical (Mango, Pineapple) or Berry (mixed). My group loved the Tropical Mimosas! Service was friendly and attentive. Live music playing in the background as we sat in the outdoor garden patio area was very nice. Highly recommend coming here if you are a large group (we were 12). Free public parking lot is right next to the restaurant. Easily accessible if you are using a wheelchair or cane or stroller. No diaper changing table in the women’s restroom though.

We went for Easter brunch, so there was a limited special menu. It was busy but the service was good and attentive. We had six adults and 2 toddlers in our party, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed for the little ones. The food was mostly good. The lamb had a sauce that was pretty overpowering which made the dish disappointing. The desserts were light and tasty. The restaurant is very pretty with a lovely patio. Overall it was a little pricey for what we had, but we had a good time.

One big disappointment and the fact it took a few hours in traffic didn't help make it seem worth the trip. The positives were the valet and the waiter. It was all downhill from there with the food. Myself and my son ordered the roast chicken which took a fair time to hit he table. My wife had the salmon which was okay and my youngest had the chicken tenders which were dry. I was looking forward to the meal given the hype around the restaurant and the Doubtfire movie connection. Unfortunately when we did get the chicken it was raw and I don't mean slightly pink, I mean salmonella raw. My sons was slightly more cooked but again raw. I showed the waiter who agreed it was far too raw to eat and he took both meals back. This by the way was the first time in my life that I have actually had to send anything back!! The waiter returned to ask that due to the wait do I want the chicken recooked or 2 new meals. I said go ahead and make 2 new ones up. This took another 30 minutes which we were quite bemused by the whole thing. Anyway the chicken plates come out again and we cut into the leg. My sons was fine mine believe I to r not shot blood out?? Raw again the second time. So I call the waiter over again who removes the plate. He returns a few minutes later to tell me that blood coming out of the joint is normal but the chef will cook me 2 wings instead. I'm now doubting if the chef knows what she is doing. Anyway third time lucky. it finally came out cooked. Look its a lovely venue and we may have had an unlucky experience but what also got me was no offer of a free desert or drink while we were waiting. The whole experience was a let down as we had such high hopes of a great night here. My advice find something better in San Francisco which I imagine wouldn't be hard.

Nice aesthetics, cozy atmosphere, friendly wait staff. Food is always good, cheerfully accomodating about switch outs. I've had their sandwiches without the bread, asking for it to be placed on a bed of greens.

We went here for a birthday, so there was a large group of us. My first impression upon arriving was that this place is pretty fancy dinner since it had complimentary valet. We go in an it immediately smelled like burnt toast. Not good. We ordered cocktails, which had a pretty presentation. The appetizers were small, but tasty. Especially the beet risotto, omg so amazing!!! Then we had the kale and bacon soup, which no joke, was pea soup. Looks, texture, taste...I don't know how it was anything but pea soup. I had swordfish, which was good, nothing amazing. The food was mainly sub-par. The decor was very dated. Our server and all other staff we interacted with were amazing!
