Steak night has arrived once again at "the Bridge," but we've got more than just red meat options this evening!  Our steak specials this evening include a 12 ounce ribeye "Tuscano" served on house-made fettucine with goat cheese and spinach and topped with herb butter, a flank steak with cheddar mac and cheese, French green beans and topped with au poivre sauce, and our chili-marinated pork tenderloin served with cilantro lime rice and vegetable medley.

Prefer something other than steak tonight?  Maybe one of these seafood specials will catch your eye instead...our fish special for the evening is a grilled, marinated trout with roasted bell pepper rice, asparagus and beurre blanc, and we're also serving housemade fettucine with local shitakes, alfredo sauce, and a grilled lobster tail.
