Bittersweet Artisanal Cuisine

Outstanding restaurant.  Creative and unique menus, from cocktails to dessert.  The specialty cocktail was outstanding and they had a great selections of unique beers and wine to choose from.  The server was extremely knowledgeable and helpful which made choosing the right dish fun and easy.  The food was presented elegantly and the flavors were amazing.  

My duck was cooked to perfection and the accompaniments were perfectly paired.  Gnocchi, parsnip puree, and butternut squash.

The dessert was mint chocolate ice cream, it was excellent.  The fresh mint definitely made this unique and now a flavor I will always remember.

My only wish is that they had acknowledged my birthday (as I saw they did with other tables that night), as I put on the open table notes.

Saturday was my second experience at Bittersweet. The first was New Years Eve, which is my fiancé' and my anniversary date. The waitress was kind and very educated on the menu and was just pleasant.  The drinks are unique, the food is also amazing. It's a relaxing, but sophisticated atmosphere. My sister and I went here for cocktails over the weekend, and had a very pleasant experience with the education of the staff and the delicious drinks. We will be taking our Husbands to enjoy the patio once it opens this summer. If you want an overall pleasant experience, this is your place.

If you're not the type who worries about value, bang for the buck, etc., then this restaurant is 5 stars all the way.  My company paid for our dinner, so we ordered willy nilly off the menu and enjoyed every bite 10000%.  Yum.  This is one of the finest culinary experiences I've ever been treated to.  However, I would think twice about coming here out of my own pocket, as I live my life on a budget, and that $264 should probably go to things like, oh say, my electric bill.  But if you're rich or like to live like a rich person, this should seriously be your new favorite restaurant!

To be fair, our bill was so high because we tried more than half the menu (yum!).  Between the two of us, we had 3 appetizers, 3 entrees, and every single dessert plus one that wasn't on the menu.  We tried a few specialty cocktails, enjoyed the wine, some beer, and finished the evening with cappuccinos.   Absolutely nothing disappointed (except maybe the portion sizes, but we were able to order more and more food since it was on my company's dime;))

We left happy and are still texting each other 2 days later about what a great experience it was.  The restaurant is beautiful and our server and hostess were both really great to us.  This is a very well run restaurant.

I'm sure my friends and I will be back for appetizers and cocktails! Thanks for a marvelous experience, Bittersweet!
