After swimming at beach the Restaurant has everything you need. Fun servers and staff that go above and beyond to bring you extras. Snack bar outside pool was on par. Free parking and very clean.

Best pastrami sandwich I’ve had since leaving NYC. Sol’s deli menu in the Bridges restaurant fills a void Sarasota sorely needs. His homemade cheesecake is FABULOUS!!!!!! This is a must.

I have had lunch here a few times and always get the liver wurst sandwich. I love it! I usually have to take it home and eat it for my next meal because of the size of the sandwich..deliciousness! Always consistent! Plus the view make this a win all around! If you like NY style deli, this is a great spot to indulge! You will definitely feel full when you roll out of there! Ohh don’t forget the cheesecake! Best anywhere!

“Everybody deserves to eat Deli” says Executive Chef Solomon Schenker aka “Sol”. Dropped into Bridges Restaurant on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Made our way up to the 8th floor to meet up with some friends. What a wonderful view especially out on the deck beside the pool. We ordered from the deli menu and two words sum it up, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I haven’t had a meal like that since my last visit to Carnegie Deli in NYC. The pictures only tell part of the story. Got to be my favourite deli restaurant in ALL of Florida (certainly the west coast of FL for sure!) Thx Sol for an absolutely delicious Sunday deli experience! We’ll be back often!

After a day at the beach. My family and I decided to come to eat in Bridges Resturant. It was inside the beautiful Hotel. There free parking and an amazing view. Are server tonight was amazing and super friendly. The food was on point. I had bake salmon with roasted potatoes and veggies. I would highly recommend this place. The menu price was a little pricey but it was worth it.
