The speakeasy has a very cool vibe. A few of us enjoyed the interesting cocktail menu- drinks were delicious. Two of us at the table had the vegan dinner, which was phenomenal. A carnivore friend was actually jealous in comparison. Each course was so interesting and different. Many compliments to the chef, and gratitude for being so inclusive. This was a memory I'll cherish.

Excellent! Creative!…read moreInnovative! Foodie Delights! I'm not vegan... But the most amazing and cool dish was the faux chicharrónes. It's actually made out of sweet potatoes in some magic way. The corn elote is super savory and creamy and vegan... again...they are doing some magic here. The Butter Baked Scallops were a big hit! Talk about unctuous and sinful. The scallops were succulent and tender! You just can't go wrong with Butter and Scallops. Service is on point. We wanted for nothing! Our water bottle was kept full and several folks checked on us not just our server. All of them were friendly and genuine. This establishment is pretty small inside... About 10 tables plus the bar area which I think sits 8. Definitely make a reservation!

If you're wondering what the vibe is like based off pictures, I can validate that the bar/restaurant atmosphere leans upscale. I came for the food and drink and after one glance at the menu, the prospects were promising. Arriving as a walk-in, I ended up sitting at the bar and ordered 2 appetizers. I had their Elk Carpaccio and Roasted Brussel sprouts. Both were delicious however between the two, the Elk was my favorite. Their cocktail menu was pretty good too. I ended up getting the Alpenglow Sour and it was refreshingly delicious! The service was good. Food and drink were paced just right and it didn't feel rushed. I didn't see a parking lot however there's plenty of parking along the side streets. Bridgette Bar is a solid choice if you're looking for a good meal/drink in a chill environment.

Several extra touches (folding napkins when you left your seat, getting the door for when your party departed) that you don't normally see these days. There's a 6 course tasting menu ($115.00) but we went a la carte. Entrees are in the $36.00 to $49.00 price range. Cool that you can see the ducks being dry aged. - Celeriac ($18.00) - shrimp tartare with celery root and grapes were refreshing. - Duck ($43.00) - dry aged breast was excellent. Beets were delicious. - Seafood ($47.00) - halibut was perfectly cooked. Didn't love the mushy, mashed zucchini texture. - Pork & scallop ($43.00) - pork belly was next level. Perfect bites, not too fatty. - Cranberry ($13.00) - almond & sage sorbet was a unique combination. Interesting, quality dishes at Änkôr.

The duck wings with the sweet glaze was also delicious. And the meatballs were moist and flavorful. Both our sides easily feed the four of us. Service with Cate was great.
