What reviewers say about Bartleby
People say this restaurant offers delicious lobster ravioli, truffle fries, and white pizza. They also highlight the beautiful interior design, romantic vibe, and attentive service. Other reviews mention the food can be overpriced.
“We had a fine experience at Bartleby overall. The food was fine. Steak was a bit tough and chewy, but the fries it came with were good. The mushroom ravioli was pretty good. Appetizers wise we got the arancini and the ricotta. Ricotta was the better of the two. But I will say the drinks there are quite good and I would recommend this place for the drinks. The space itself is very large and beautiful, but it was overall fairly empty which made the vibes seem a little off overall.”
“I came for just a nice dinner that turned out to be the best experiences I’ve had in Ohio City. It all started at the door, with the beautiful & sweet Nautica. She greeted us with a smile & sat us immediately to our liking. The food was PHENOMENAL from flavor to temp, my drink was DELICIOUS & everyone was so accommodating especially my server Scott. His upbeat personality & knowledge of the menu made my dinner experience very worthwhile. I WILL BE BACK.”
“Me and my husband visited Friday night. It was our first time there and we expected good food, drinks and vibes. We only got 2 out of 3.. The food was not up to par as we expected. The drinks, the service and the atmosphere were great though. Definitely will come back for the drinks and atmosphere but NOT the food!”
