Bridges Restaurant - Vancouver

Our experience at this restaurant was not great and we felt that it was not worth the money we spent. It was the final night before the restaurant closed for renovations and rebranding, but the prices were not reduced. When we arrived at 8pm, many menu items were already sold out. Unfortunately, it was the worst of the two anniversary dinners we had. The restaurant is now closed until April 2022 when it will reopen as a Tap and Barrel. This review may no longer be relevant since the restaurant is closed.

I would not recommend this restaurant. The fish and chips had soggy batter, the poke bowl had small pieces of what appeared to be chewed up tuna, and most of the dishes were unavailable as the restaurant was closing for renovations. The food was very bad and not fresh.

We decided to leave as it was their final day before permanently closing. There was very little food left and the items available did not match the menu posted online. Strangely, they called to notify us that certain items were unavailable but neglected to mention that the dinner menu was not being offered. Additionally, they did not inform us that it was their last day of operation.

My wife and I had an early dinner at Bridges. Surprisingly they had very few gluten free options for my wife, so she ordered the salmon. The only vegetable side it came with was Brussels sprouts, which is a pretty polarizing dish you love it or hate it. Sadly my wife hates it, and the server, who didn’t seem to want to be there, told her there were no other options, so I ate them for her. When we were almost done they brought out some broccolini! Sadly we were already full, and I wish they would have told us they were doing that. My fish chips were really bland. Finally the bill came and it was the wrong bill, the exact same thing that happened to the table next to us. The food was just ok and the service was pretty bad. I expected a lot more from Bridges. Wouldn’t bother going there again.

We came for brunch and told that menu no longer exists for the last week! Bummed! Ok so lunch it is! I had the poke bowl which was good
