I have lived in Las Vegas for 11 years and so coming home is a reality check and a stark contrast to my life there - especially when it comes to Shopping and food options (I will forever be a small-town Umatilla girl at heart) My experience at The Bridge tonight was a WOW!!! surprise. I ordered the vegetarian pizza on cauliflower crust, a huckleberry wheat beer and a blackberry lemonade margarita - THIS PLACE IS LEGIT! I loved the decor and ambiance. My server Kim was AMAZING.

The waitress brought me a cold tap beer immediately and recommended the Beggin' for Bacon burger with truffle oil fries. I went with her recommendation, and she did not steer me wrong. This bad boy (see photo) was a 1/2 lb of beef with bacon mixed in to the patty plus a couple of slices on top. I was in heaven. Their fries are really wonderful, I ate far too many but with a cold beer what can you do? The wait staff was super friendly. She struck up a conversation about the national park on my T-shirt and chatted for a while. Nice. Umatilla is a pretty sad looking town, they are luck to have such a great establishment there.

We had to keep telling people the same things over and over. Things like "someone already said they were getting that for us" not that we needed to keep asking for things! Important difference.) The manger, I think, kept saying he would get things then ended up over committing to tasks and someone else would end up doing it. This isn't a complaint just something I'd suggest having a discussion with with staff and change- lots of business do this because they want to be attentive but it comes off sloppy and messy and just ends up interrupting the meal more than anything. Everyone was doing this with the best intention though. Only love and advice here! The drinks were very good. Loved seeing all the holiday themed stuff everywhere VERY VERY cute!!!! we loved the heart napkins and the whole vibe was 10/10. I thought my food was bland, everyone else loved theirs, so I won't dock starts for that. Excited to visit this place again next time we are in town. Edit: docked it a star over the owner passive aggressive immediate reply. Comes off like "shut up I'm right you're wrong." I've been in the industry over 20 years and have seen many place fail, flail, and have great success. The successful ones never have a manager or owner that is passive aggressive over a pretty nice review. I hope you learn to take criticism and your business thrives though! (If you were so busy you wouldn't have, or at minimum KNOW you wouldn't have, time talk to every one. I never once saw you "delegate" a task to someone else. I saw you repeatedly say you'd do a task then someone on staff notice it wasn't done the do it for you. You told the boss you'd seat us then wandered off to do whatever behind the bar and she sat us- her job you didn't need to butt into btw. You did say you'd get cheese and did it yourself. You came by a bunch to make sure our table, and every table we could see, was happy but it seemed more for ego than anything because you kept repeating how but YOU are from the second we walked in until we left. You said you'd get my father in law another drink then it simply never came but whatever we just left without another high priced cocktail on our bill, your loss. Trust your staff, take accountability, much love.) Edit again: the owner refuses to stop lying and saying he's "defending himself" more to that over on the google reviews. Staff is great, food is below mid, owner is beyond help. Edit again: just noticed he EDITED HIS REPLY TO ME to try to change the story that he wasn't as rude as before! So I added a screen shot. Talk about "MESSY." Do NOT support this clearly narcissistic owner! Lying, manipulating, gaslighting, and all over what was originally a four star review!!! Wow!!! Edit again: was browsing other reviews and the owner is flat out lying on other reviews too!!

My sister and I paid for doubles (lol that you pay extra for doubles) and they were $12 each! In Seattle, even that is exorbitant but it's fine because we were supporting the local and only (therefore premier) gay bar. My sister and I then went outside and smoked a joint with a drag queen. It was amazing. Unfortunately, the staff did not think so and despite smoking marijuana outside the premises we were prohibited from re-entry (oh there's also a cover lols) because we were clearly inebriated because they could smell the stench. We had the greatest laugh, had finished half our over priced drinks, then our group cleared out the bar and we went back to a house to drink. Cheers!

No eggs, but a true German potato salad, and it was. Super tasty. I hate potato salad, but not this potato salad. The schnitzel came as two large pieces, one of which made for a wonderful lunch the day after with a little Grey Poupon. The schnitzel was on the Lounge menu and definitely earns a thumbs up from me.

She asked if he could just shake it with ice to make it cold and he did, but also re-touched all of the olives with his bare hands to put back into the martini, and then served it with two straws. All the while he kept running his hands through his hair... my wife never touched the martini, we paid and left.

I had the clam chowder, Caesars salad, and one of the specials, which was a boneless New York steak sourced locally , ordered medium rare. Oh, lets not forget the dirty Martini I ordered off the cuff, neglecting to read their cocktail menu, an oversight I later regretted. This was all very enjoyable: the in-house Caesars dressing practically a food group on its own with the proper amount of garlic, and the clam chowder so deliciously creamy it could give Seattle chowder a run for its money. The steak, at perfect temperature, was very juicy and tasty indeed. I regretted not studying their cocktail list before ordering my go-to Martini. It is extremely sophisticated; I have never seen its equal; and I would have loved to try one or two of these cocktails had I not reached my limits that evening. I loved the decor, an old school set back into the old west, and the dim atmosphere. Service was very attentive and top notch.

Okay we were 12 guys and 2 girls (all of us coworkers from a multi national engineering and construction company) and we could easily see thru the windows inside that the place was completely empty. One of our party ask why a 5 dollars cover charge if the place was empty? And the bouncer said that we were looking into the private lounge and that the dance floor was packed. IF BY PACK HE WAS REFERRING TO THE OTHER 8 PERSONS WE SHARED THE WHOLE LOCAL FOR THE NEXT 2 HOUS THEN HE DIDN'T LIED AT ALL. Second star deducted: The DJ and it's constant yelling. DUDE I could tell your "peak" in life was 2003 -2004, by the selection of music you were playing (mostly Lil John, Pitbull, Nelly and Paul Van Dyk sets - Hey! There's nothing wrong with that since those were my wonder years in college) but your constant yelling on the microphone trying to pump the 20 of us there, was completely pathetic. YES!!! IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT AND WE ARE AT CRAVE...WHOP IT DO!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMIND ME EVERY 10 MINUTES ABOUT IT!!! Third Star deducted: The guy in khaki cargo shorts and Rebook. WTF with a dress code ? You market yourself as a dance club/ultra lounge and suddenly I'm ordering a drink at the bar next to a guy in a t-shirt and cargo shorts and Rebooks while I'm wearing my best dress shirt and pants from J Crew/Zara ? Fourth and final star deducted:The Glass Shot Glass and the less of a shot of alcohol that you can't take away from the bar Debacle. You are going to pour my Scotch on a 2 ounce shot glass with so much ice it looks like a Scotch Slurpee and then when I tried to stand next to my friends a bouncer is going to yell at my face like a drill sergeant because I crossed an empty dance floor with a non-plastic cup. CHILL MAN!!! There's only 20 of us here and anyways the price I paid for a Johnnie Walker is about the same as a Macallan 20 years in Vegas... SO I'M NOT GOING TO DROP IT !
