In an age of far too many chain restaurants with their boring drink / food menus, what a delight to discover the Bitter Truth. Cool, welcoming vibe… friendly staff… and true cocktail expertise, we felt right at home. Oh, and the barbecue-forward menu did not disappoint. Owners Sean and Myra are fully invested and super personable. Eva and Ava took great care of us. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

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.
