Under The Bridge

the whole family of 5 went to The Bridge about 6 – 7 months ago during lunch time, they hadn’t been open for long i belive. I really wanted to make it our new spot to go to, being that we live far from many restaurants except for your typical fast food joints. so in we went, through their patio into the restaurant and saw noone. hmm are they open? we went back out the patio and went through the front door. Still noone in the restaurant. hmm maybe its closed and they forgot to lock up. then from i dont remember where i see a young (hispanic i think) female come to us and let us know we could sit anywhere. Huge place, very nicly decored, i really liked the place especially the patio. The place was empty, so empty that even the cooks were absent. I didnt relize it untill we placed our order and saw (i shit you not) the waitress was on the phone putting our meal together. jokingly i asked her if she was making our meal and she said she was. ok, i’m thinkinig she has some type of culinary skills, a multitasker of some sort. well our meals come out and it was horrible, it was either warmed up in the microwave and robbed the meatloaf of any juices, or the gumbo was too salty even with the rice in it, or the speghetti had been sitting on the window and was now lukewarm. Poor thing, God Bless that poor child how she tried to make a meal for all of us. But how in the hell do you run a restaurant with no cooks in it. I really wanted to enjoy that place, but i left angry istead. and the meal wasn’t cheap. I’d like to give that place a chance again but its gonna have to take alot of forgetting that first impression. the place was nice, i would have loved to have to see it busy, but ughh that was just wrong. I understand she wanted to please us, but i would have rather been told that they wouldnt have been able to serve us at the momment and come back at some other time, then to have had an experiance like that.

The atmosphere is nice. There is a deck on the outside of the restaurant where live music is played. The food is average, too much salt on some items and not enough on others. The restaurant serves a variety of foods, so there is something for everyone’s taste.
Kinda hard to find, kinda off the «beat and path»
