Haven't been there yet, what are the good prices? To some, a $45.00 steak is a good price, to others, not so much. Annie's was always the restaurant of choice for my wife and me, but with price increases we have come to favor Carrabba's as our 'price to value' restaurant. So what specifically are the good prices??

The family and I thought to go to Bridges for some burgers to try it out. We arrived at 5, and much to our surprise burgers and sandwiches are only on the lunch menu. To us the dinner entreess are on the high side and the selection is limited. The meals were very good, but the pricing will probally keep us away. I did see some people getting the pizza, but $12-$19 for a single person pizza is rather high to me. For two entress and one child meal our bill came to right around $55, but this did not included any alcohol/wine, appetizer, or dessert. The decor is nice, and i could see going here once and awhile but the prices will make us think twice. This is just our opinion.

So let me get this straight,before 3:30 you can get a burger. From 3:30-4:30 is no man's land this is because the wait staff could not decide on what menu to use and from 4:30 till close dinner only, no burgers? I must say the pizza was good, most are under $10.00 and very good. Not your Pizza Hut type but more on the gourmet side. Worth the money.

We popped into Red Eye's yesterday afternoon (live music upstairs) for a few, the table we sat down at in the back had a Bridges take out menu sitting there from the previous couple. It does appear they will have a lunch menu, then a dinner menu. Appetizers prices real high, sandwiches price ok, I did see the rib eye steak at $27. It did not list any all important you got to know item.....alcohol selection and prices. Anybody got any info on that?
We'll give it a try in a few weeks, wifes birthday is at the end of May. Sounds like an opportunity for a pleasant meal or it could end up being a disaster that ends up happening when I try to do something nice for my wife.

Went on Friday. The atmosphere was great -- a jazz trio and loads of staff and patrons. The bar service was efficient and the hostess was considerate and accommodating. The food was prepared well, but was delivered in varying degrees of warmth. Definitely good, but they need to work out some of the kinks in the kitchen timing along with the wait staff. It's a beautiful location and there is definitely potential there. I will definitely go back.

We went Saturday with another couple. Service expectations going in was that it was the first Saturday night of business and things were going to be delayed in getting to the table. The food was a little slow getting out as we completely anticipated. However, we ordered a bottle of wine (and maybe an extra glass or two) knowing this to be the case and really had a great night. The food was excellent - better than I thought. I had the angus flank steak, we had two pasta with shrimp dishes and a rockfish plate. All were great. The servers were nice and I think once the kitchen gets it's flow worked out everything will be fine. While it isn't an every week restaurant with the prices, we will be going back. Loved the stained floors and woodwork was nice.

I went today by boat for the first time. I loved the place. Here is what I though - the food was pretty good and way better than anything else in the narrows. It was nice to have options beyond crab cakes, cream of crab soup and fried oysters. The setting is awesome. I figured with the current it would make for some great boat watching as people tried to tie up.... and it did. So I am very excited to have such a nice place to take the boat. I give them a huge thumbs up. Any review needs to point out the flaws too and I did find one major "oops". They built a big beautiful handrail all around the outer deck which is right at eye level. My wife and I looked like a couple of chickens eating chicken feed bobbing our heads up and down trying to see the boats going by. So this rail has to go. The view is what really sells the place and they block it if you are sitting at a table. We saw the people next to us bobbing too lol. Anyway, two thumbs up, can't wait to go back.

Gated parking for bridges customers only but the workers park on county property which invades on Jetty parking.

OK people, let's get this straight...the head boats have been loading and unloading at the county pier for over 50 years and no one saw a head boat leave trash, for the captins are aware of this problem and respect the county pier, furthermore, the restaurant is not even open when the customers arrive for the charter boats (which they arrive between 5am & 7am) so get it straight between the pier fishermen and the charter boat fishermen. So STOP trying to cause problems for local fishermen that are trying to make a living!! If it was a crab boat bringing crabs to the restaurant you would love it. Love you too!

The head boat did not leave trash it was the person driving the Toyota that ran over the stop sign.

Does anyone have a link to their menu? Thinking about trying them out this weekend but I'd like to see what they offer and the prices ahead of time if possible.

Don't forget to ask about the change over menu Before 3:30 3:30-4:30 and another after. I have been there 2X and I am still lost.

If you are going for dinner, just expect to drop at least $100 for 2 people, and that would be appetizer, two entrees, and 1 or 2 glasses of wine.
The food is good, but for me and the family is a little pricey.

Went there for the first time tonight... we'll be back!
Calamari and Tuna Tower were great. Soft Crabs and Rockfish were exceptional. Service was terrific. Meals were not inexpensive (about $60/person with drinks and tip) but the quality made it more than worth the price.
If you haven't been there, give it a try.

Meals were not inexpensive (about $60/person with drinks and tip) but the quality made it more than worth the price. If you haven't been there, give it a try. We went back and weren't disappointed. This time we split a calamari and a crab pizza; the pizza was good and the calamari was perfect. Seemed like just the right amount of food for a light dinner. Cost was a reasonable $25/person this time. The reserved parking is very important. We drove past a line of cars that couldn't find parking for the Jetty and pulled into one of the spots for Bridges that were still remaining. We probably would not have made the very long walk that would have existed if we had to contend with the Jetty crowd.

Wife and I went to Bridges last night (Saturday) at about 8PM or so.. We got a table right away but didnt even get drinks until about 20 minutes after being seated... It was so LOUD inside that it was like eating while sitting next to the tilt-a-whirl with DJ Jazzy Mike blasting (insert favorite tunes here) at the Boardwalk.. The waitress even ( on her occasional walk by ) asked if we could hear her while giving us the specials list.... The menu needs much improvement , the selection just plain sucks !!!! I did order the 9oz. crab cake "special" that was $29.50 (wonder what the non-special price is?) and it was above average in size and taste... My wife ordered shrimp spring rolls and they where OK... We both ordered salads, she got the house salad which was, well, a house salad, nothing fancy... I ordered a Spinach salad that came topped with a fried blob of white stuff on it that tasted like burnt hair smells, YUCK !!! Come to find out it was fried Goat Cheese !!!! We ordered NO drinks containing alcohol , tea and water only... The total for 2 salads, shrimp spring rolls (from app. menu) and the crab cake special was $71 plus tip.... I rate the place about a 6 or 7 out of 10..... Just my .02 !!!!

we went to Bridges tonight after being at Big Owls all afternoon There were 4 of us and we had a variety of dishes, beer and wine and spent around $120.00 before tip. Considering we had almost a $100 bar tab at BO"s and that was just beer..... but the food was absolutely outstanding....that was 2 apps; 4 entrees; couple of beers, couple of glasses of wine and an iced tea.... Yea some would consider it pricey, (like me)..,., but d**n was the food good!!!
