Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bridge Street Bistro offers a captivating Gulf view, excellent service, and a variety of delicious dishes. Guests love the "seafood Cobb salad" and "blackberry martini." The ambiance is charming, with "great sunset views" and live music. While some dishes missed the mark, the bistro's "fantastic food" and "friendly staff" leave a lasting impression.

    We thought the way the chef provided a process to inject oil into the steak was great and it REALLY highlighted the flavor. The server Cal was outstanding also. 5 stars. I think a hidden gem on the island.

    Absolutely fantastic experience dining at Bridge Street Bistro! Our server, Cal, was awesome and accurately gauged our pace. Gorgeous sunset over the gulf, followed by a delicious bottle of Riesling and a delectable meal. I had the salmon Oscar style and my wife loved the diver scallops. My personal preference would be for the music to be a touch softer, but that's just nit picking! We've been on Anna Maria for close to three months, and this has been our favorite dining experience to date.

    We have eaten here many times and it has been one of our favorites. BUT tonight we arrived at 5:30, the first people there. We didnt receive our meal for an hour and half. The server told us they had to thaw the grouper!! What??? There was inadequate staff and inadequate communication. We had to wait for a second round of drinks and for our check. Felt badly for the staff but for an expensive meal this was very disappointing. They need to do better .

    Dinner for 2 Saturday night Made reservations. Nice table by window. We have been dining here on and off for 15 years, usually food is very good. don’t like to complain. When I know all the restaurants on bridge street are struggling. Menu was pretty limited. Our dinners, grouper pecan style and salmon lightly seasoned were good not great. I am going to leave it at that and give them another chance next year. Service was very good

    We love this Bistro! It starts with a great ambience. Then there is the bar. Great selection of special cocktails and all the classics. The menu is perfect — though I have to confess that I keep returning for the seafood Cobb so it is hard to explore. But friends say the faro island salmon and also the crab cakes are great choices. Enjoy the sunset from the warmth and comfort of your table inside the restaurant! Great sunset views! We will go back as often as we can.

    I think they need just a little more time to get on their feet. I chose to go on a very busy night, New Year's Eve, so I was expecting service to be slow. It was slow, but in a way that seemed reasonable for the volume of people the restaurant staff was serving. After ordering, we waited an hour for our mostly delicious food. Unfortunately, when it arrived, my medium well steak was actually rare-- like barely warm rare. There was no roving manager so I had to track down my clearly running her feet off waitress and ask her if she could come get my steak and take it back to be cooked. She did; 30 minutes later she came back with the meat, but it really wasn't much better. I sort of ate around the edges and, after ordering and waiting for a dessert for my son that was on the menu but wasn't actually available, paid our bill and left.  I canceled I was working very hard to try to make things happen for us. I just think could use some managerial support. Maybe someone to check why the steak I had sent back once couldn't be eaten even after it was cooked a second time. I will absolutely come back to this, our favorite island restaurant, but we may give them a little more time to get their feet on the ground.
