Bridge Ten has a lot of potential, and I'm looking forward to updating this review as they get their bearings. There are a few things to love: carafes of house French wines, a wide array of menu for every price point, overflowing bowls of mussels, interesting cocktails.
But there are also a few things that need work: the service was attentive and friendly but not knowledgeable enough about what they were serving. The cheese plate had interesting cheeses but was a very poor value at $20 for 5 very small portions. The dining room is a bit too opulent (and cavernous) for the Holiday Inn Express background. Breaking up the space a bit and making it more cozy would help.
Overall, Bridge Ten is a good addition to the South Side. When you're craving a creamy croque monsieur or a heaping bowl of mussels, this is the place to go. And if they make a few improvements, they will be worthy of drawing people from more than just the South Side.
