    I had a great experience at Bitol restaurant! The food was delicious, and the drinks were just as good. They have a wide selection of unique cocktails, which was a fun surprise. The service was excellent—friendly and fast. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

    This little place always surprises me. Been here a few times and each time we are blown away by the food and cocktails. Their steaks and tacos are sublime. It was very packed but our service was top notch. Always attentive and considerate. Cannot recommend this little gem enough.

    Excellent experience. I have wanted to try this place out for a while but my wife and I just had a baby so not much time for dates lol. The food was a 10/10. I had the chimmichuri steak and a mezcal margarita that was made to perfection. I will be back here very soon.

    Very good tacos but didn’t care for the rest of the menu. If chips and salsa + tacos are what you’re after, this is your place.

    Once again, Franklin and his staff did not disappoint. The service was friendly. The drinks were magnificent. And the table side service that we received was second to none. Food was spectacular. Great job to Franklin and his staff.
