Bartleby: Cleveland Restaurant Guide

The food is amazing. Our table of 4 split the pep pizza, ricotta, beet salad, fried and gnocchi. We also got desserts! Everything was delish. Our server, Scott was absolutely the best. He helped guide us on what to get / are the most popular items on the menu. Scott is very kind and patient. When we come back, we will be requesting Scott as our server!

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!

From the moment we arrived, everything felt just right. The décor, the lighting, and the overall atmosphere created a warm, intimate, and refined setting. The balance between elegance and comfort made the evening truly special. We especially appreciated the sense of privacy, which allowed us to fully enjoy the moment without distraction. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented, full of flavor, and thoughtfully prepared. Every detail reflected care, consistency, and passion, and the service was attentive yet discreet, which elevated the entire experience. Some places are remembered not only for their quality, but for the moments they quietly become part of. This dinner marked a meaningful new beginning in my life, and Bartleby will always hold a special place because of that. It’s safe to say your restaurant has become my favorite, not just for what it offers, but for how it made us feel. Thank you again for an unforgettable evening. I look forward to returning very soon.
