   By far one of the best spots in Denver. Thursday night tasting menu special is a hidden gem- would give more stars if I could!

   Haven’t been in quite a while. While we both found our dinners enjoyable, we didn’t find them extraordinary, as we had experienced in the past. So for us, the value wasn’t worth the price. It was a good dinner, just not a fabulous dinner.

   Some of the best food I've have in Denver in a while. The dishes were "creative" but not to the point where the blend of textures and flavors was weird. Very high quality ingredients and all around delicious.

   Real miss on a usually solid and reliable favorite. They were out of almost half the menu by 7 pm on Saturday evening on an otherwise slow night... We had specifically chosen Bittersweet due to the lack of Resturant Week participation/madness and left feeling like they should have just closed for the weekend. service is always a little hit or miss here but in this case it was off putting- especially to people who I had recommended this place to...

   We had a mixed experience at Bittersweet. Our waiter was great! I am a vegetarian, and have some allergies, so he and the chef (thanks chef) were able to put together a lovely vegetarian selection. However, had I not asked, it was not offered on the menu. My dinner companions were meat eaters; but would have enjoyed a salad or more vegetables. Our waiter explained that because the restaurant is closed two days a week, greens were spoiling and they couldn’t afford to waste food like that. I totally understand not wasting food, but I think that Bittersweet needs to revisit this. People now want lots of veggies with their meals. Any one of the 3 course vegetarian meal I had would be a stand out on the starter menu. I will not be back until the menu expands, as I do not have a lot of choice with regards to vegetables or a vegetarian entree choice.

   I’m a bit stumped by the great reviews of this restaurant. It is pricey and the portions are beyond small. You pay $32 for steak that is literally 4 bites and the same price for a chicken leg and part of a breast that was dry. The salmon was a half portion. We did complain about the steak and they came back with a slightly larger portion and it cooked to medium instead of well done. The staff was nice.

   Really nice ambiance. Beautiful presentation but the food was so-so. Lacked any distinct flavor. Flat.

   Bittersweet in a word, AWESOME! You can tell from the first bite that the food is prepared with the utmost care. Care to taste, quality and value. This place never disappoints.

    The atmosphere was exactly what we needed after a few chaotic days. Intimate yet not stuffy. Felt like being in someones home. The menu is small but very well rounded with choices. I had the steak which was perfect and so tender. The shrimp and grits were also a hit with our group as there was just enough spice to give the dish a bit of heat. We shared 3 desserts and especially enjoyed the toffee like flan. The Hamburger and Fries dessert was a great presentation but not sure we would order again. I would absolutely recommend Bittersweet and can't wait to return on my next visit to town.
