Bittersweet Is Open for Dinner!

After 23 years, Bittersweet is finally open for dinner, with our friendly staff waiting to serve you. The same happy faces that are glad to see you at lunch are just as excited to see you come in for dinner.
Don’t go out of your way - walk on over to Bittersweet on the way home from work and pick up a delicious, rotisserie chicken with hot sides or cold, freshly made salads. Also ready to grab are individually packaged hummus, guacamole and fresh fruit cups for snacking.

Do you have a favorite recipe for your leftover rotisserie chicken? Send it to theresa@bittersweetcatering.com it may be featured in an upcoming newsletter issue.

Dinner for Everyone at Bittersweet

Even our younger connoisseurs can have a casual dinner out without breaking the bank (or the piggy bank). Connor and Ben often enjoy a hearty meal at Bittersweet before heading to the waterfront for an evening of culture and sophistication. Parents and other adults may now enjoy a glass of wine or an ice cold beer. So, bring your kids and enjoy healthy options and a terrific atmosphere (with no snooty maitre d’s to tip)

What to Expect When You’re Expecting Lunch

You’re tired. You’re moody. You’re a little irritable. Not to mention swollen to the point where your ankles now need their own zip code. BUT somehow you’ve made it this far, managing to exude that “glow” and “radiance” that accompanies pregnancy. (Doctors will tell you that “glow” is a severe lack of oxygen to the brain, causing one to lose her wallet, her dignity and eventually her mind…but I digress…so where was I?? Oh right..). So your job is nearing an end, and your eagerly awaited, “nine months of hormonal flux”  prize is in sight…NO I DON’T MEAN THE BABY!  I mean, yeah, of course the baby is a great reward and all, yada yada yada, however what I’m talking about is the BABY SHOWER!
