I have eaten here for many years and will continue to do so. I will say that the Mexican prawn dish was not as good as it normally is

Excellent Service. The waiter was attentive and patient. The food was excellent and the total bill was reasonable for 4 people in the East Bay. Parking is very easy. It was a week night so the noise level was extremely low which made conversation easy and pleasant. Overall a very wonderful experience.

My family recently celebrated my birthday with dinner at Bridges and had a great experience! We had to update our reservation, which was easily accommodated. Service was very friendly and attentive from start to finish. Our group was very happy with our entrees, particularly my husband and I who both ordered the pan roasted chicken breast--one of the best dishes I've had in a long time (the hazelnut pesto and hot honey really made it). My brother was also impressed with both the size and quality of his New York steak, considering it a great value. At the end, they brought me a beautifully plated birthday cupcake with candle. The ambience of the restaurant was really nice and relaxed (despite my association of it with the iconic, chaotic Mrs. Doubtfire scene!) We would recommend Bridges and hope to return again.

First time here in 10 years and I was disappointed by the experience. The food was not great, overly dressed salad despite asking for light dressing, warm (not hot) soup, and room temp white wine. The table next to us remained uncleared and dirty (empty) the whole time we were there. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, but the overall experience was drab. Sad to see this institution go so downhill.

Had a wonderful family dinner. We took our two young grandchildren with us and the staff was super accommodating. The service was wonderful from the minute we entered the door, polite and attentive. Our server was outstanding. Very nice and smiled every time she interacted with us. Did not mind the additional requests we had for our grandkids.

This is one of our favorite restaurants as the food is always consistently good and the staff very accommodating. The only problem was the bartender as I ordered a Manhattan from the waitress and was brought a totally different drink that tasted like fruit juice. She said that she questioned the bartender saying it didn't look like a Manhattan, but he said it was. Since it wasn't I sent it back for a Bridges Manhattan which I have ordered many times in the past, and it came back as a Manhattan but a very skimpy pour which amounted to half of a small glass. In the past the Manhattans have been at least 3/4 of a glass or more. I only have one drink per night and it's important to me that I get a fair pour, especially for the price of $18. My companion ordered wine and felt his pour was skimpier than in the past.

It has been a couple of years since I have been to Bridges. Unfortunately, I think during that time something has happened and the food and service are not what they were in the past. I went there with a couple of friends mid week. The restaurant was almost empty, however, in January that is probably not unheard of. Our drinks were good. We shared a calamari appetizer. The calamari seemed like it was not fresh, but frozen and mass produced. Then our entrees arrived while we were still eating the appetizer. Our Thai Shrimp noodle entree was salty and watery. The one highlight was dessert. The apple dessert was really good. Unless things change it is unlikely we will be back.
Unremarkable. A decent menu poorly executed. The Caesar salad was okay. Luke warm after dinner coffee. Hard, uncomfortable chairs that pretty much guarantee quick table turns. I can't think of a good reason to go back. That said, your experience could be better.

We had a lovely lunch on the front patio, enjoyed the streaming sunshine on a brisk winter day (CA style) :)) I had a chicken ceasar salad (divine) and my friend had the turkey club which she enjoyed! Reconnection time in this great setting was perfect!
Alexandra
It was NYE and they were busy. But with a fixed menu so the had planned for that. Was disappointed to wait a long time for server. Then didn't get first drinks until after the appetizers had been finished. Tried to order bottle of wine but main course came before that arrived even though we asked to wait until wine came. Food was good. Service was not.
Denise
The food was excellent, arrived at our table quickly , cooked to perfection and the service from Aaron was perfect ! They didn't miss a beat on this busy New Years Eve! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Food not up to standard. Half of entree was missing and side vegetable was burned and inedible. We will not be returning after 20 years of previous visits.
