Best Californian Restaurants in Blackhawk

First time coming to Bridges and we loved it!! We had the ribeye and lobster, everything was cooked perfect. The service was great, we loved that the owner came and introduced himself to us. One of the things that caught our attention was how the owner was very hands on helping. We will definitely be coming back.

My wife and I recently took my sister and her husband, who were visiting from Charlotte, to State Bird Provisions, and it was nothing short of amazing. The food was absolutely exceptional—each dish was a perfect blend of creativity and flavor. My sister and her husband couldn’t stop raving about how unique the food was, especially the bold use of spices. It was a hit with all of us! The ambiance was also fantastic. The space has a warm and inviting vibe that strikes the perfect balance between trendy and comfortable, making it a great spot for both special occasions and casual nights out. What truly elevated our experience, though, was our waiter. He was excellent—extremely friendly, attentive, and impressively knowledgeable about the menu. He had such a genuine enthusiasm for the food and shared thoughtful recommendations, which we greatly appreciated. At one point, we mentioned we’d heard Ryan Gosling had dined here, and he surprised us by saying he’d actually been Ryan’s waiter! He even told us about the time Ryan came in with Eva Mendes and their two kids. Such a cool story to hear directly from someone who was part of it! State Bird Provisions delivered on every level: amazing food, great atmosphere, and top-notch service. My sister and her husband loved it as much as we did. We’ll definitely be back and can’t recommend it highly enough!

I have always enjoyed dining here. The service is excellent, and everyone is pleasant and efficient. Tonight they had a limited menu, and I had Lamb shank with Risotta, and it was not my favorite. Too much sauce/gravy. It needed a lighter wine sauce. Normally, I would prefer Linguini with Clams.

Absolutely nothing special. Applebee's with a movie theater.

Loved the appetizer choices, we had a delicious and filling assortment of four different appetizers
