    The food was good with a creative menu. But the loud noise level made for a less than enjoyable experience. The dining room was crowded with many tables and hard table surfaces (no tablecloths -- I liked the old Bridges better). Bar service was very slow, as was the kitchen. The wait staff was nice but also seemed stretched rather thin. On the other hand, given how slow the bar and kitchen were, wait staff couldn't do much more. This restaurant has seen better days.

    It was a very disappointing Valentine’s Day experience. They changed their standard menu with a limited menu that was very expensive and mandated appetizers and desserts. There was no mention of this anywhere when we made reservations - other restaurants doing this type of thing clearly disclosed it ahead of time on OpenTable and on their website  We were supposed to be seated inside - we weren’t. at least we could hear the piano player… Oh no… the piano player was, well, not able to keep rhythm. His set list was from beginner songbook (Disney/ariel/moon river etc.). It was really humorously painful. Also they were not staffed well enough to service the crowd they attracted - and the food took a long time to arrive as did the server. The lobster was so overcooked it had to be sent back. It was discolored and I was not able to extract it from the tail because it was so tough and stringy and, unfortunately, its replacement was not that much better.  We got our dessert to go because we could not take it anymore… only to find when we were home that one of them was missing a third. Just missing. The beef was good. And so were the portion sizes. We were also charged for a drink that was ordered, but never delivered. We got that reversed, of course. All in all, it was a very disappointing experience. We’ve eaten at bridges several times and have always been satisfied, finding the prices reasonable and the food pretty good. But the special forced menu that was cast upon us and their inability to provide decent entertainment and timely service was a real letdown. 2 drinks .. 2 entrees … $250 … 2 much! It felt like a money grab honestly. I thought the special pink menu should’ve read ‘happy Bridges day’.  The server was doing the best she could given the circumstances and was quite pleasant when we did see her.

    Perfect setting to celebrate Valentines Day with friends. When we arrived staff presented wives with a red rose which was a nice touch. Food was excellent and staff was friendly and responsive.

    Very busy valentines night! Service tried hard, but consistently came short! The prefix menu, could have a green salad (not just a beets salad) and the dessert selection could be improved.

    Food was good, portions could of been a little bigger for the price. I have eaten at Ruth Chris and fir the same price of steak was much bigger. The place was a little loud but very nice. Service was good and the desert was very good. I give it a 3.75 out of 5.

    Great service but thought food was pretty bland, something we. Had not experienced before. Appetizer of Brussels sprouts was excellent but entrees of risotto and short ribs pappadell were both bland
