    Overall it was ok. Service was good. Food was good BUT they were out of all steaks on stone so there was very limited selection for entrees. Had we known before going we would not have gone as we do not eat much fish/seafood bec of allergies.

    Highly recommended! We really love the unique food amd excellent service here, but so do so many others, it can become much louder than we prefer. It won't stop us from eating here, but not if we want to have an intimate conversation!

    We had Corn truffle fritters for an appetizer. Entrees were the enchiladas con mole and carnitas Michoacan. We both had the Jasmine Tini. Everything was delicious and very well presented. Will definitely be back!

    Took a chance for a last minute anniversary dinner. Great choice! Unbelievably creative cocktails, very attentive after, and really interesting Mexican menu. Taco appetizers were good, but the other dishes - mole enchilada and guava paste tostada - were exceptional. And the cocktail were so good we skipped dessert to indulge in one more round. Great little gem (in a funny strip mall). Highly recommend.

    Very good food and great menu. Good value. The waiter was very nice but wrote my wife’s order wrong and she ended up watching us eat for 15 min. Details matter - but would give them another try

    This was an authentic fun evening! Great for groups or girls night! Decor is beautiful! I only gave a 4 for ambience because it’s in a strip mall and parking is a pain.

    The fries were not good. Needs more flavor or a sauce. Not ketchup. Everything else was delicious!!

    The food was amazing! Not only is it delicious but the presentation is extremely pleasing to the eye! Antonio our waiter is very courteous and friendly. I have food allergies. Antonio was able to recommend desserts that I could eat. I recommend Bitol to all my friends.

    We have been there numerous times but this was the first time we were at the bar. Caught the tale end of happy hour so the margaritas seemed extra delicious. We have been at the restaurant when it’s been very busy and so the wait staff is trying to do it’s best for all it’s patrons but of course that means service can be haphazard. This time around it was excellent since we were having dinner and the restaurant was only 3/4 full so as a result very attentive service. All in all an excellent time!
