    Portions are TOO large. Severely detracts from the fine-dining (?) experience.

    Difficult to assess because it was Thanksgiving. There was not enough help, so the wait staff were all running around trying to keep up. But our server was funny and pleasant and the rest of the staff were very pleasant also. Holidays are challenging.

    We had Thanksgiving here last year and it was very enjoyable. But this year we were made to sit outside which we were never told when we made the reservation. Half the tables inside were empty but the person seating us refused to let us sit inside. Even with heaters it was cold. We sat down and they immediately tried to bring us someone else’s order. Once we did order they tried to bring our side dishes before they even brought our soup and salad let alone main dishes. They tried to talk us into keeping them and when we requested they be served with our main dishes they got angry and stomped off. We had to constantly ask for silverware but they did keep our water glasses full. Overall, not a great experience especially for the money.

    If you’re ever in Danville, Bridges Restaurant is a must-visit spot that perfectly balances exceptional food, expertly crafted drinks, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. It’s our go-to place for a reason, and every visit reminds us why it’s such a beloved institution in this charming town. For starters, Bridges isn’t just about the culinary experience—it’s a part of cinematic history! Fans of Mrs. Doubtfire will recognize it as the setting of the iconic “run-by fruiting” scene. The ambiance alone is worth the visit, blending timeless elegance with a cozy vibe. On this visit, we brought friends from out of town, and as always, Bridges delivered. The menu is thoughtfully curated with dishes that cater to every palate. Whether you’re indulging in their beautifully plated entrees or sipping on a perfectly balanced cocktail, you can taste the attention to detail in every bite and sip. The service? Impeccable. The staff are knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest has a memorable experience. Bridges is more than just a restaurant; it’s a Danville institution that captures the spirit of the community. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this is a dining experience you don’t want to miss.
