Okay, finally. Dinner last night in Danville CA at Bridges
http://www.bridgesdanville.com/restaurant/main.html
A bit of chill and rain, so the patio was not in play (too bad, but I'll return in the summer since I love that patio.)
The restaurant is located on Church Street downtown, on the site of the old Iron Wok that we visited often when we were living on Corwin Drive in Alamo.
The chef is Kevin Gin, and the theme is California, decorative, fusion whatever. Basically, good food, well prepared, and delightfully presented. We ordered roast pork, Atlantic salmon, and scampi.
Update: The pork was listed as a Kurobuta standing rib pork roast. Neat!
I thought that the food was excellent. The service was friendly and attentive.
Our wine was a 2003 Rosenblum zinfandel. Rather too fruity for some of us, but I thought it was appropriate to the food.
Expensive. $45-50/person. Save it for a special occasion. But, they have a annex on the property called "Amber." It's less pricey and open for lunch. I'll try that one next time.
