Been to Bittersweet several times and it never disappoints! Cocktails are delicious and dessert is always excellent. My only request would be that they add more chocolate dessert options as I’m a chocoholic!

My bf & I stopped in and sat at the bar. The bartender was super friendly and gave me a great drink recommendation. She answered all my questions and got our food out super fast. My only complaint with the food is that the bread for our pimento was really dry. The desserts were amazing though!

This place was amazing and I’ll def be back again. Came on a weekday, the place was moderately packed which was nice because it didn’t make it awkward just being us two.

My first visit was a delightful experience, and I must say, the desserts were so delectable that I didn’t even need to indulge in alcohol. It’s the perfect spot for a late-night dessert date with my girlfriends. I highly recommend this place to anyone who hasn’t visited yet. You won’t be disappointed.
