We stopped into the Edwardsville location for a quick visit, picking up a bottle of red (from Australia) and a bottle of white (from New Zealand), along with some other stuff. I really liked how the wine sections were organized with large ceiling signs, allowing us to focus on specific types and then narrow it down by price and ratings. Checkout was a snap, with friendly, helpful cashiers.

The venue was beautiful, cozy, and the perfect setting for our celebration. Everything was exceptionally clean, tidy, and welcoming. The catering was very affordable, and the food was delicious! We chose the BBQ pork, chicken, and several sides, and our guests couldn't stop complimenting the meal. A special thank you to Chef Brian and the entire staff for being so friendly, accommodating, and attentive throughout the event. They made the planning process easy and helped ensure everything ran smoothly. If you're looking for a beautiful venue with great food and outstanding service, I highly recommend The Terrace at French Village for your next special event!

Everyone talks about their garlic parm fries for a reason. Order them! We also ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with sesame cucumber salad and sriracha mayo, which was so good (we ordered the food to split and both agreed we should have gotten our own chx sandwich). The flatbread was also good, but the fries and chx sandwich were just so much better that the bread was left in their shadow. I can't comment much on the wine as we both ordered mimosas . The grounds were well maintained and the waitress what friendly. Will return.

After making a reservation, I heard on social media that this place may be closing soon, but there…read morewas no indication of that on the restaurant's website or in-house. We arrived right on time for our reservation, stood for quite a few minutes in a half-empty house before being seated, then waited a very long time between visits from our apparently over-stretched waitstaff. The first cocktail I chose wasn't available; nor was the first entree. I settled on the "red wine flight", and it arrived in three glasses. The server recited their names, but I didn't catch them. Food was middle of the road. A smoked sirloin sandwich was tasty, though rather well-done. And the order of "salmon cakes", which the menu says is made of "smoked salmon, roast corn, tomato, cucumber, creme fraiche, and capers" was in fact just one cake (not cakes!), smaller than a hockey puck (about 1/2" thick max) and seemed to be made of canned fish, not the bright orange of smoked salmon. It was accompanied by five thin slices of cucumber and three or four halved grape tomatoes. No corn, no capers. It was so boring, and an overpriced disappointment at $23. If this Bridge is actually closing and focusing on the event space, they've gone out with a whimper. And if they're actually continuing service, I hope they get the food a little closer to the menu descriptions. Our drinks and water glasses were empty for long stretches. Our server was very pleasant and polite, but must've had way too much to do.

The food- 3 of 4 of us said it was just ok. The other really liked theirs. We had 2 different pastas & 2 different sandwiches. Calabrian carbonara & citrus fettuccine. They were both kinda bland & not much flavor. Large portions. Wagyu reuben & smoked french. The reuben was a hit. The smoked french was too smoky. We had the pumpkin ricotta appetizer. It was pretty tasty. And the caesar was a large portion & decent flavor.
