Your Dining Experience...
begins with chef created entrées in a casual quiet, smoke-free setting... with windows surrounding the dining room allowing you to enjoy the magnificent view created by the bluffs on either side of the Mississippi River.
Enjoy a meal prepared with the finest ingredients and utmost attention by our chefs and their staff. Perhaps you're in the mood for fresh seafood, in addition to the catch of the day flown in fresh each Friday, you could select a fresh lobster from our lobster tank. Maybe a quality steak, cooked to perfection more suits your mood. With those and many other fine entrées, you're sure to please your palette. When it's time for dessert, you'll be amazed at what we have to offer! All of our desserts are homemade and extremely delicious!
In addition to the work done by our chefs, the Bittersweet also boasts of an extensive wine selection and eight different Micro-Brews on Tap as part of our full-service bar.
