| - A coworker told us about Bridge Ten. We tried to get a reservation the week prior, only to find that they were sold out.
We made our reservation for a Friday night, and arrived in the rain. No worries, the valet parked our car and we were seated very quickly. The host was exceptionally gracious and welcoming and seated us at a quiet table in the corner on a banquette.
The dining room was attractively decorated, and the noise level was not loud, but bustling enough to make us feel like we were part of something.
The food was outstanding. We shared a mussels appetizer as well as a foie gras, and their house-made bread was delicious. I had the lamb loin while my friends had the steak frites and the duck breast. We all thoroughly enjoyed every morsel. My friend said the steak melted in her mouth and the fresh cut fries were "to die for" in her words.
Some Dave & Andy's ice cream, macerated berries and French press coffee topped off the evening.
The service was a bit slow and relaxed, but we were not in a hurry. If you need to be somewhere, you might want to let them know your timeline for the day or evening. The server was very personable and helpful with the menu. The wine list is excellent, although we had brought a bottle of our own wine and paid the corkage fee, which was very reasonable.
Bridge Ten can be what you want it to be - a casual informal meal, or a multi-course finer dining experience. We found the prices to be reasonable for the quality of the food.
We'll be back! We can't wait to enjoy another round of dishes at a table on their outside patio.
