From Chef Thomas Vinolus
The Bittersweet Bistro is a dream come true for chef Thomas Vinolus and his wife Elizabeth. Housed in an idyllic stone and stucco building in Rio Del Mar, the restaurant boasts a mahogany bar, bistro-style booths, fireplaces, and a spacious and sleek dining room.
“My new favorite patio dining spot, by far.”
