"From a former chef at Estela, in a room that could double as the inside of a bank vault, Bridges serves food that is elegant, rich, and demanding of all your attention. The dainty-plate menu changes seasonally, but there are two things you should always order: the sea urchin custard that could double as butter, and the comté tart. It’s hard to adequately explain just how good this glorified quiche is, but a perfect bite—with a little crust, a little cheese filling, and a little of whatever’s on top (sometimes chanterelles, sometimes truffles)—should do the trick." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman
