2007 Tour Group Guide

Thank you for considering Bittersweet on the Bluff for your upcoming group tour.  In addition to having the most spectacular view in the tri state area, we also offer the friendliest staff, most awesome food and a very relaxing atmosphere!  We are a family owned and operated facility and can accommodate any size group with ease.  We have four different private rooms of various sizes allowing us to comfortably seat from 20 to 800 people.  Private rooms are available at no cost and many have their own bathrooms and bar area.  As the owner, I also work to address the group personally discussing our history and pointing out some of the area attractions that are visible from our deck.

We offer several different menus and styles of service.  From sit-down plated to family style to buffet style, we’re sure we can create an event that fits your needs.  We even pick up the meal for the driver and one escort per bus.  Call and ask about our new mini menu option.

To book your party, you will need to give us the date, time, estimated guest count, and a deposit.
