  • birthday party, party of 15
    I was here for a 15-person bday party in the back room last December and wow immediately one of my faves in the city. Check their site for menus as it changes up seasonally.
  • team dinner
    had a really great and interesting meal at bridges. we came for a team dinner and they had a set menu for us and every dish that came out was presented beautifully. i enjoyed the fish dishes the most. the sardines were so fun to eat and the trout was cooked well and paired so well with the sauce. my favorite bite of the night was the comte tart and was savory and creamy. i would love to come back to try their regular dinner menu.
  • private room dinner
    Had dinner in the private room, the atmosphere was great and the food too. The duck was excellent.
  • private dinner party
    Phenomenal new restaurant in lower Manhattan! Everything is so delicious, but the standouts for me were the uni custard, duck, and chocolate tart. The ambiance is sleek and modern yet still very warm and inviting. The private back room is jaw-dropping and an excellent choice for your private dinner parties. The cocktail menu is inventive, wine list extensive, everything you could want in a fine dining experience. Run don't walk to bridges!
  • birthday dinner
    We came here for a friend’s birthday and it was a special treat without a doubt. The intimate atmosphere, interesting and tasteful menu, and outstanding service made the journey getting there worthwhile. We will surely come back to explore the rest of the menu. Highly recommend for a quality and fabulous night. My only regret was not finishing the night off with some dessert.
