In an effort to eat at
all 3000 San Francisco restaurants and having been to over 500, my wife Linda
and I culinary travels took us back to Bridges in our hometown of Danville.
Having been here many times, the food, service and ambience is always excellent.
The memory of Robin
Williams lives on as an empty table with roses and candles is displayed in the
entrance as you check in for your table . A large friendly Mrs. Doubtfire
poster also hangs on the wall between the men and women restrooms as a reminder
of when the movie was filmed here 20 some years ago. Fresh flowers were placed
below the picture by many patrons honoring Robin's memory and recent death.
The restaurant has the
feel of a San Francisco bistro with a happy hour menu that runs all night long and
a outdoor patio that is comfortable and soothing to your soul with live music
playing on warm summer nights.
We began our
Bridges experience with the shrimp and chicken spring rolls that were
hot, tasty and a favorite of many loyal foodies. We then ordered the
mushroom pizza that went well with the Silver Oak wine we brought. The corking
fee is 20 dollars and if you don't bring your own wine they have an
extensive selection of wine and specialty drinks.
For the entree, I
ordered the panko crusted pork filet over a bed of mashed potatoes and
vegetables that was served steaming hot. Linda ordered
the famous Bridges burger with french fries that brought an
eternal smile to her face. For dessert we split the chocolate
carmel tart that was decadent and a excellent ending to a very
pleasant dining experience.
We would highly
recommend this famous Danville restaurant for lunch, dinner or any special
occasion. For more information and to make reservations go to: Click here: Bridges Restaurant
