Brydge - Cambria, California

Kathy C.

I had been on the road for 10 days exploring the Central California Coast. I had been advised to go to Brydge downtown Cambria.

So glad I listened, for I had an outstanding meal in a intimate setting of a home.

The beet salad was one of the best I have had the good fortunate to have eaten.

Seriously, the meal is worthy of a Michelin Star.

Amazing little place. We stopped there randomly for lunch and ended up returning the same day for dinner. We really enjoyed all our dishes — the food was amazing. My wife said the burger was the best she’s had in years, and I loved the shrimp and tuna starters. The wine was great too.

Hands down one of the best dining/date night spots in Central Coast. The moment you step in, it feels like you’re embraced with a warm hug. Customer service is stellar and the ambiance is darling. The real show stopper is the food! Every dish is prepared with so much thought. The wine list is very diverse and refreshing. There’s not a bottle listed that I wouldn’t try. This was one of a handful of dinners where we didn’t feel rushed. It reminded me of dining in Europe, in the best way. We can’t wait to go back! Thank y’all for a lovely experience! Cheers!

This is such a nice spot. The building and location is so cute and cozy, and waitress very friendly. We shared the meatballs and a steak with a side salad, and you could tell that the food was high quality, very fresh, and prepared with care. It's a little expensive, but that's expected with a restaurant of this quality. I'd rather pay it here than at some lifeless fancy chain. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics of the food, since we ate it too quick, but you can see how beautiful, quaint, and historic this place is in the ambiance photos I got. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a nice dining experience on the central coast.

Stumbled upon this spot after reading all the amazing reviews! You must go! Sat outside with my dog for lunch/dinner! The Resuben and pinsa hamburger was delicious as were the meatballs! Pistachio gelato was amazing! Can’t wait to come back and sit inside because the ambiance is amazing!

The charm and ambiance/ the food is amazing! What a lovely gem!

Rustic, old fashioned, simple, candle lit. We ordered more than we thought we would because it was so unique. Dining in pairs is the best bet. Service was good chef came out to ask us what we thought. Everything was unique. It is a bit spendy but if you are like us and from the central valley you won't be disappointed. Dishes are similarly priced to other basic restaurants. We ordered two starters and a supper for two, the prime rib, which was cooked perfectly. We will for sure be coming back for lunch tomorrow. Also not that it matters but as a gay couple we appreciate it being LGBT owned as an added bonus. So glad we decided to stop by. It got very busy over veteran's day weekend. So come early unless you dont mind taking your time and chatting while waiting for food. Wine was delicious. You can tell they care about what they do. 5 stars.

A hidden gem tucked off the street. The food is delicious and the atmosphere feels so cozy and rustic. Perfect spot for an intimate dinner date.

Had a reservation. Arrived on the dot. Stood in a hallway for 16 minutes to get seated. Once seated, they were out of 1/3 of the menu. Only two other tables. The Italian soda we ordered was expired by 3 months. Only two of us dining, yet every itty tiny portion is in odd numbers. I would rate the food lower if they had not brought out the olives on the house while I waited for bread. The flat bread took 23 minutes after we ordered. Soooo much cold cold unspreadable butter, on everything, and clumps on clumps of large rock salt, didn’t feel like mouton or fleur de sel. Meatballs were the only truly good thing on the menu, but 3 quarter size meatballs, almost ten bucks a piece at $29. Once butter is spread, it was actually a wonderful flat bread, but only half a pita worth for the whole table. The prime rib was supposed to be medium rare, I asked for the end cut, instead I got a very well done, rubbery, super charred, middle cut that tasted reheated day old, slathered in butter, with cold butter on top. For a Friday night, it was a ghost town, uncomfortable benches, cold seating, subpar food, yetpebble beach prices, I get why this restaurant was a ghost town. I can’t believe it had 4.8 on google, they must have paid to boost the score truly. Hard pass
