   Food The food was mediocre at best. There are not many choices on the menu. Too many options have beer in them. Everything was underwhelming. My friend's brownie was dry, for example. The fries are very obviously from frozen not fresh. potatoes. They had a bad taste of oil. (You are a restaurant - make your own fries!) The goat cheese burger was ok but dull. It would have been better with sharp cheddar or Swiss cheese. (These weren't on the menu). Trivia Game We went during trivia night which could have been better for a few reasons. - There were only 2 categories and they were targetted at a certain age group - one the host probably fits into. It would have been easy to make the subject one-hit wonders from the 1950s to 2000s instead of making it all about one decade and one type of music. -Some of the questions were based on vulgar songs., so it was totally inappropriate to display the lyrics in a public dining room. -The host laughed too loudly into his microphone disturbing our conversations between questions as he chatted to some tables, He needs to drop the visit the table talk with the microphone as it was just boring and jarring. He also needs to be more aware of the microphone volume. - The third category of "what did I say" was not fun because we tuned him out during that table talk. It's also a little self-important and if you listened it was a boring topic and if you didn't it was a boring topic. Another topic would have been much more fun.. - The end of the trivia game got slow to the point that most of my table/team left before it ended. I noticed most people in the room had left before I left and it was before the game ended. There needed to have been a mention of how the evening would be structured at the beginning. And brief is better than dragged out.

   Very accommodating, courteous, and fish and chips are a "must". The manager is excellent and made sure that we were welcomes and well taken care of.

   We attended the Seinfeld trivia night. It was enjoyable, entertaining and very well run by the MC. We did not go there to eat so didn't order anything from the menu. They have a good selection of wines and beers, including non-alcohol beers.

   Booked a table for two on Valentine’s Day. Found out upon arrival that there was an event booked that involved an entire kids camp group. They also had someone with a mic and a loud speaker doing trivia throughout the evening. The staff was also very clearly overwhelmed by the amount of people so service was extremely slow, if your order wasn’t completely forgotten like mine was the first time I made it. People were nice and food was good but after all this I would say it’s extremely unlikely I would ever come back to this place, which is a shame due to its beautiful location and delicious food…

   Good spot for a casual hangout. The food is a bit overpriced unfortunately.

   The Bridge is a handy place to grab a bite to eat while out for a walk, after tennis, or just for a pleasant meal with friends. Service is always good, and servers are friendly. The atmosphere is relaxing and everyone has a good time. There are often new items added to the menu, and old favourites like fish and chips.

   We were there for a team lunch and needed to be gone by 1pm. The server did his best to accommodate and was very friendly.

    No where near as good as it used to be. Only had Ontario wines available. Cobb salad had too much dressing. Husbands pasta was just so/so.
