Amazing atmosphere. Wanted to love this place, but the food is beyond mediocre (pizzas were cool in the center; crusts were far too salty) and the service is sickeningly pretentious. Server seemed bothered to be working with us. Set all of our drinks on one end of the table and walked away… couldn’t remember who had ordered what… announced it was last call for drinks at 10:20 on a Saturday. Why?

Food: 9,5/10Service: 10/10FOOD:I'd like to try the entire menu, which I don't say very often.Interesting, fresh flavour combinations that taste nourishing. There are also plenty of "safe" options for the less adventurous among us ;)There is something for everyone. Some dishes are a bit on the pricier side, but I'm going to try them regardless!Service:Super laid back, yet attentive , aware and friendly servers. They make sure not to bother you too much, while keeping an eye out when you do want something. They were also incredibly sweet with my younger daughter.We will be coming back often.

The food was very delicious with some different twists. The service was very comfortable and welcoming. The atmosphere was soothing.
Nice but slow service. Cocktails were flavourful but took 20 mins each time on what seemed a slow night. Food presented very nice but all dishes were flavourless apart from the Brussel sprouts. Will not be back, unless for a quick elderflower gin cocktail.

Loved the decor and ambiance. Went with 3 friends and we did family style and ordered a variety of plates which were all delicious. We also ordered some mocktails which were also delicious. Would recommend this place.
TL;DR - Amazing food, great ambience and phenomenal staff. 1000/10 would recommend this place to everyone! Especially if you’re celebrating a loved one’s birthday!!!Just came home right now but we had the BEST TIME EVER and I just could not wait until tomorrow to post this review. I booked this reservation to celebrate my younger sister’s birthday and wow was it the greatest gift I could give her!Once I gave my name to the most bright and friendly girls at the host desk, they right away asked who the birthday was for and all of them wished my younger sister a happy birthday. They seated us in such a nice table with an even nicer view and somewhere quiet so we could have a wonderful time. We were so fortunate to be seated in Chelsie’s section, who is the most amazing server we have ever had. She was so attentive, kind and patient with us since it was my first time here. She made sure that none of the food we ordered had anything I was allergic to. Chelsie and every other member of the staff were just absolutely phenomenal!!! The second our water glasses were empty, they came by to fill them up. Anything we needed, they were already on their way with. And I swear it was like they knew exactly when to come by and ask us if we needed anything else without interrupting the flow of our conversation. All the food we had was delicious, the ambience was great, and I honestly can’t think of a single bad thing to say.I feel so bad that I didn’t get the names of everyone who was helping us out that night but I hope they know that I sincerely thank them so much for helping me give my little sister the best birthday ever! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH, YOU ARE ALL THE BEST!!! <3Dietary restrictions: They are amazing at double checking for food allergies for every dish and confirming with you before and reassuring you that the dish does not contain any mentioned allergens when it is delivered to the table! :)
Love the aesthetic! Oysters were yummy, and food and service is always great!

A really wonderful place for dinner. Spacious interior with a nice selection of food. I really enjoyed all the food we had. The brussel sprouts and banana cream pie were both excellent! Would recommend for a dare night or special

Absolutely blown. I just moved from Vancouver and was excited to find this gem! The staff were attentive, professional and knowledgeable; the space is gorgeous and the food ? wowwwww!!! We shared the tuna, beet salad and chicken. I tend to cheat on my allergies but our server modified the dairy on the side for me. Absolutely delicious ? thank you ? we will be back! My photo shows how much we enjoyed our last dish.

Bartenders are awesome at Bridgette, super fun people, respectful of your conversations etc. but very attentive too—the best place to meet someone or catch up with a friend or colleague.
