Excellent dinner at Bridge Street Bistro last night. Our server/bartender was awesome. Blackberry martini was one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Seafood Cobb salad was loaded with crab. Everyone loved their dinners. I was shocked that all of Bridge Street was fairly quiet the Saturday before Christmas. Hopefully people will come and support AMI!

Michael the manager was great. He was very personal and attentive. He really made up for a very negative experience we had at another local restaurant earlier in the week. The food and the service were great and overall a good experience. We especially liked the white table cloths on all of the tables. A very classy atmosphere. G Mueller, Sarasota, FL
