"This was by far the best experience I have had with Bridges. Starting with OpenTables reservation (very easy), Service from the Valet - the Service attendant...They are were all friendly and very accommodating to our request. Our Waitress gave us the special of the night for our party of Six and It was very good..The Sturgeon tasted exactly as how she described the dish."

"The food at Bridges (we have been there a number of times) is good, but I would not categorize it as a "Foodie Fit". This last time we ate there the bar service was slow (we had ordered a bottle of champagne)....it came after we had received our appetizers. Other than that, the service was good and friendly. In the Danville area, it still is one of the better restaurants around. The following night we ate at Absinthe in SF which certainly is a leg up on Bridges.... at about the same price range."

I was so impressed I made a reservation and asked my long time girlfriend to marry me after a wonderful dinner."

"Bridges is out go-to restaurant for special occasions, a relaxing weekend brunch, or just about any chance we get. This last time we went was for our daughter's 10th birthday brunch with grandparents. The food was excellent, the service was fantastic, and we enjoyed sitting on the patio for a very leisurely brunch."

"Booked a large table for Mother's Day. I'd had good experiences for brunch. I was very disappointed on many levels. First, the fixed, 3 course menu was very limited and rigid, and prices were quite high. After we ordered, the waiter came back almost immediately to say they were out of brownie sundaes (which half of the table had ordered). The caeser salads were only ok, the avocado soup was not good, no taste at all. On the other hand, folks liked the gem salad. The main courses were generally good, which was lucky since they cost so much ($50 for the 2 course with the halibut--very high). The waiter came back and said now the sorbet, which folks had substituted for the now disappeared brownie sundaes) had been changed. Disapointed."

"We went for our anniversary and I would love to tag this restaurant at romantic BUT, there were kids running around the patio and climbing all over the fountain we were seated next to. The kids were not being bad, but it was a little distracting to have the kids running around our table all night. Their parents sat in blissful peace at the far end of the restaurant enjoying an extended dinner while the kids ran around. This seems to be more a problem with the town of Danville than with Bridges in particular, however it could have been dealt with quietly by someone on staff and it would have changed our experience completely."

"I have been here 3 times in 2 months after a long absence. Based on my last 3 meals Bridges can stand up to any Restaurant in the Bay Area. I loved Bridges years ago but had a few hit and miss meals in the last decade so stopped going. A coupon got me to try it again and I am so glad. I have had the veal, swordfish and an ahi like dish called Tombo I think. All were excellent, including the appetizer of Brie, salad and dessert. Welcome back Bridges, we missed you!"

"Another pleasurable meal at Bridges. Ambience when sitting on the patio can't be beat. They even had a singer and keyboardist providing entertainment! Food is very good, as always, especially the simpler items like the kid's burger and chicken fingers. A local favourite."

"I come here for lunch frequently but it's been years since I've had dinner here.The food was disappointing. Portiins were small and pricey. Dinner prices seem to doubled that of lunch prices.We had oysters, phyllo wrapped brie, pizzetta and Caesar salad for appetizers..they were just so-so. For yhe entree, I had the swordfish, which did not seem fresh. Others had the steak and lamb shank. The lamb was good and the steak was okay but the portion was very small. Our waitress was very attentive without being obtrusive. I would recommend Bridges for lunch but not dinner."

"Bridges never disappoints in the food area, but our dinner there the other night was especially enjoyable because we sat outside on the patio. Dining to the sounds of the great guitarist/singer was glorious! The energy was lively but tempered by the sound of the nearby waterfall. All in all it was a splendid evening!"

Not to Heavy, just perfect for a nice salad or a nice sandwich. Daniel, our server was just perfect.

"Our expectations were great as reviews were off the chart and of course Mrs. Doubtfire seemed to enjoy the Bridges. The wine list had Gamba, big plus. The fried oysters, worst ever and 3 for the price we paid, bad value. The scallops were perfect but my swordfish was slightly overcooked. We felt for the price this was a big letdown. They are sending out 2 for 1 coupons now. Not sure the Bridges knows what it wants to be."

"I haven't dined here in years due to some soso meals over the last few years but I am thrilled to say Bridges is back! My friend and I had a fabulous meal from start to finish. I started with a beet salad with the swordfish as my entre. Everything was perfect. My friend had the veal and said it was the best she ever tasted. The service was spot on. My only disappointment was we were both too full for dessert. Next time. We will be back soon!"

"Food was excellent and not "typical". I had a guest from out of town that enjoyed the experience. The only draw back was several large groups surrounded us and it was difficult to carry on a conversation."

"Our main courses were both very good; in particular, my Lamb Shank was one of the best I've ever had, and my wife said her pork chop was excellent. My dessert-- butterscotch pudding -- was poor; so little flavor that I don't think I could have told what it was if I'd been given it in a blindfolded test, and the texture was rather gritty rather than creamy.
You may forward these comments to the restaurant."

"Beautiful restaurant with a lovely decor. Meal was creative and delicious. The presentation was excellent. Waitperson was terrific, helpful, and with a wonderful attitude. The bar had one bartender needed help as it took a long time to receive drinks.
Friday night noise level was abit loud so I cannot say it was romantic. The biggest disappointment was dessert. Coconut ice cream lacked the promised flavor & tasted like frozen iced milk. The pudding dessert lacked flavor & heaped with an overbearing amount of frozen cool-whip like topping. While cute the oreo type cookies lacked flavor and the center filling was tastless.
I would go back again and encourage friends but would pass on desserts."

"Went for Easter Brunch. Choices very limited for children. Portion sizes were very modest for what appeared to be highly inflated prices for a "special event" meal. I suppose Bridges knows Danville folks can afford an overpriced menu."

"This was my first time at Bridges, and I had been wanting to go for YEARS! I took a few business associates here on a Monday night and it was just perfect! The service was excellent, the setting is roomy (I hate those SF places that pack you in so tight - practically sharing your table with strangers!) and the food was very good. So if Coi, Gary Danko, and Masa' are 5 star - which they are - Bridges is a less expensive, comfortable 4 start that gets the job done nicely!"

"We were a group of five, 25-59yrs old. Two of us had been to Bridges quite some time ago, and remembered that we enjoyed our experience. Our waiter was was very friendly and helpful. He recommended two dishes that we enjoyed. We eat out quite a bit and like food with bold flavors. Two of us had the veal, one pork chop, one swordfish and one ahi tuna over black rice. The restaurant has a charming little patio area which I imagine is nice during warm months. We all enjoyed our meals/service and definitely plan on going back."

"We had a table of 12 for brunch. The green eggs and ham was disappointing. It was like a Denver omelet with very tiny bits of ham. We also had oysters Rockefeller which was not very flavorful. I guess I had higher expectations. I've always had great dinners here."

"This is our absolute favorite restaurant. We moved to the East Bay in 1992 and have dined at Bridges for as many years on occasions when we want to celebrate something, when friends come into town, or just to eat there (no particular reason). We have never had a meal that missed a mark, nor service that wasn't excellent."
