A dream from start to finish. Food is so damn tasty and thoughtful. The design is also insanely good.

Bridges is one of my favourite restaurants in NYC right now! It's a perfect spot for a date night with a great cocktail or wine and top notch dishes which are inventive, dynamic and comforting. The menu evolves regularly with some key features - the oysters, sardines, dumpling, uni custard and the comte tart. You really can't go wrong with any of the dishes. Flavours are decadent and have some fun fusion mixes which are inventive and exciting. Sam and the team have outdone themselves! The space inside is cool, quiet and relaxed.

They are just AMAZING. Food is so creative!! The ram was the best ram I’ve ever had. The serving pace is little bit slow and it makes you feel slowly full. I’m surprised that they haven’t got Michelin star yet.

Loved the design and food ! Great experience

Food was great: duck was a highlight but everything was very tasty. Wine list was on point and pretty good desserts as well.

Food was exceptional, every fish had well balanced, layers of flavors. Definitely worth the trek to Chinatown for it! The eel dumplings and the grilled pork with salsify and pomelo were my favorites. Portions of some dishes like the duck were quite big, not sure if we needed 5 things between 2 of us like suggested.

Bridges in NYC offers creative food that pushes boundaries. There were some hits like the comte tart and some misses like the squash appetizer that was mostly dandelion greens. Politely put, the service can feel a bit aloof. It’s an elegant spot, but the acoustics make conversation tough. The portions lean more toward tasting menu than normal size servings, even by New York City standards.

Bridges was solid, but nothing truly wowed me.
Ambience & Design (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) – The space is beautifully designed with excellent lighting, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Food (⭐️⭐️⭐️) – Everything was fine, but nothing I’m rushing back for. The eel dumplings were just okay, and the oysters, while decent, would have been much better served cold vs. lukewarm warm. The highlights were the duck breast and turbot.
Wine Selection (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) – A fantastic selection of wines by the glass at very reasonable prices, with most ranging from $16-$22.
Service (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) – Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive staff made for a great experience.
Overall, a pleasant experience, but the food didn’t leave a lasting impression.

Some drinks I ordered either didn’t come or came literally 45 minutes after. Food was pretty bad at best, lacked direction and just general creativity. Cocktails were okay, wine was bad. Back room where we ate was really great vibe, wish food wasn’t so disappointing.
In general felt like millennials tried really hard to make a hip restaurant and failed.

Well cooked dishes, very favorable and probably one of the best duck dishes I’ve had in the city. The pork and Comte tart were both absolutely delightful as well. The dumplings are another must.
Service was lacking though as some of the waitresses were pretty impatient and actually got angry when my friend kindly asked if we could change the paper covering the table cloth as she got sauce on it and didn’t want to get her clothes dirty (not an unreasonable ask)

We were so excited to try Bridges after dining with Sam a couple of times in Runner-Up and it did not disappoint. Congratulations on a beautiful place, the intentionality and personality was evident across the menu. We were lucky to get a spot at the bar and highlights were the Tuna, Duck and Gelato. Wine list was thoughtful and accessible. Can't wait to visit again!

Inventive and delicious dishes, excellent wine list, friendly service. In a sea of new york restaurants Bridges is something special. I'll be thinking about the sardines for a while.... We will be back!

Their food was not as good as expected, specially not that for that price points. Everything was on the salty side, except for the mushroom tart which was indeed a masterpiece The desserts were also good, not amazing tho I also liked the lightings a lot

Incredible experience. Food has only gotten better since opening, and Keara, Oniyx and Emma provided great service/wine recs/laughs. Would highly highly recommend.
