Great place to enjoy drinks and some great BBQ. The atmosphere strikes a balance between cool and intimate, making it ideal for a quiet date night. Dim lighting, comfortable seating, and no overwhelming noise create a space where conversation flows easily. If you’re looking for delicious food, fantastic drinks, and a stylish yet relaxed setting, check out Bitter Truth

The food was at the usual level of quite good but not outstanding. What was best about this visit was the service. We had a waitress who was new to the floor, although she had served in other capacities. She was most eager both to please and to learn. It was fun helping her with some of the nuances of wine service of which she had very little experience.

I had the best experience dining in here today. Not only was the view amazing, but we had the most well loved service and cocktails. The food was so well cooked and the proportions were too much to handle, we had take the left overs home. 10/10 recommend this place! Give it a shot you won’t be disappointed.
