We arrived on a Thursday and were advised by our hotel to visit the Bistro that night instead of on the weekend, due to the weekend crowds. We were glad we did! We showed up around 6:30 pm and were escorted to 3rd floor balcony seats overlooking the main street, and of course, the Gulf beach and waters. Being in... More

Let's start with the best part. After writing dozens of reviews, we have never mentioned a particular server. So, this is a first. Ask for the perpetually smiling Bobbi who will certainly delight you and enhance your dining experience . There is only one problem. Bobbi is seven and a half months pregnant and certainly will be gone for some... More

We love this place. Last time we were there, we sat on the second floor with a nice view of the beach across the street. We shared an appetizer special (really good scallops), a salad, and an entree special (seafood in a creamy sauce). The server gave us the option of having the kitchen split the entree for a nominal... More

Both my wife and I had the same entre "Grassy Grouper" Ucon Gold mashed potatoes with partial skin left on. Underneath four perfection done sprigs of asparagus. The... More

WOW! We definitely saved the best for last! We sat outside on a wonderful evening as we watched the sun set and the street life below while experiencing the best food of the island! Hubby and I started with the gumbo soup and goat cheese beet salad--fantastic! Then our wonderful waiter "Brian" suggested, to me, grassykeylime grouper (hope this is... More

Three Floors up overlooking Bradenton Beach. The Bistro has great outdoor seating, but unfortunately too windy on the evening my wife and I went. We both had grouper, excellent food. This is a white table cloth kind of place, a little too fancy for my beach vibe, but I'd come back for the view. Looking for a romantic spot on... More

The view is fantastic but that's all. Reserved a table during the day but when we arrived there was no table designated to us, we were put in the corner. Asked to be moved when we saw another table available. Ordered a risotto and found pasta in it. The food was delivered so fast you almost suspected it was microwaved.... More

We just celebrated our anniversary at Bridge Street Bistro and can honestly say that it was a great experience in every way. When I made the reservation I had mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary and everyone there was so lovely in congratulating us as we entered and made sure the evening was just right.

Had a 7:30 reservation on a Saturday night, and although there is controlled parking, we could not find an empty spot. We were told by the attendant to just stand by and be patient, and he was sure a spot would open momentarily. After 15 minutes of waiting, I was parked in a spot usually reserved for management... much thanks... More

Saw the reviews and had to try. We were lucky to be able to get a seat outside and could not have been happier. The food was terrific and service was just as good.
