    Arancini
    Micaela M.

    I have gone here for dinner with friends. The ambiance is unmatched. So moody and dark. Obsessed with the couches and the tree in the middle. The server we have had was slower so I wouldn't come if you are in a rush. The mushroom ravioli was delicious, we loved the sauce. Drinks were delicious. The only disappointment was that salmon with cous cous did not have a great harmony of flavor and the salmon was a bit dry.

    Dined a few times and I've realized that getting a table can be weird when you don't have a reservation. They pushed a bit for bar seating and offered a 45 minute wait. When i opted for the wait, i was sat at a regular table immediately so I thought that was kind of strange because is there a wait or not? Regardless, this is becoming one of my favorite restaurants in Cleveland. I love the interior, the food is very good. Great drinks. My server was busy as expected but was very tentative and entertaining. The price point is very appropriate for the quality you're getting. Will return. connect with me on IG: @tableforjsmn

    Picture worthy restaurant, down to the restrooms. Very unique. The decor was stunning. I could sit there for hours. I spent 15 minutes taking pictures in the restroom because the wallpaper was so pretty. Perfect for a romantic date night, birthday dinner, or night out with friends. Every dish was rich and flavorful. Our server was very friendly and attentive.

    SYNOPSIS -- I visited on Saturday, 3 Feb. 2024. The Cod is a great dinner choice if you want something light. The cocktail names alone will leave you wanting more (I don't drink alcohol and I did not try a cocktail but 3 of my friends did). Go to Bartleby for the ambience because the character and atmosphere is truly astonishing (red chairs, high ceilings, big tree in the center, and a library feeling with the books and lamps placed around the tables). REGULAR REVIEW: BACKSTORY (why come?) - Why not come here is the real question?!?! Haha...so I visited Bartleby upon a recommendation from a long time college/University friend who said she enjoyed the Salmon entree. I came on a Saturday evening with 3 friends (former co-workers). We arrived for a late dinner at 8pm. AMBIANCE - Romantic and absolutely delightful. The mood will be set here....oh, the VIBES is 100%. The dim light and candles all throughout the restaurant is perfect for a date night or a fun evening with friends. The grandeur of the whole place including the tall ceilings, intricate pattern roof details, and book cases all FOOD -- Three of us all coincidentally ordered the Cod entree while another friend, Shakira, ordered just truffle fries because she wasn't feeling good. If you enjoy seafood such as fish then you'll love the Cod. The Cod is a very light meal so add a side dish if you know you'll be hungry later. The Cod comes with potatoes and peppers along with a dashi sauce. This sauce really gave the meal a nice and strong flavour. The fish was moist and not dry. I highly recommend the Cod. I also tried some of my friend's truffle fries and they were perfect, as expected how truffle fries should taste. I'll definitely be back to Bartleby to try other menu items. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 9/150 total reviews in 2024 - 659 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 15 March 2024

    Broccolini
    Amy J.

    Beautiful ambiance. Gets really dark at night. Lots of open space and plenty of seats. Gourmet menu with a variety of well curated options. Expensive w apps running over $15 and drinks $16-18 with entrees in the $30-40's range. The broccolini was rather hard to chew but flavorful with garlic and anchovy. The mussels app was a nice meal with plenty of mussels in a buttery broth with crab meat and plenty of flavorful garlic. The signature cocktails are pre batched unfortunately but the classic cocktails (Manhattan, Old Fashioned, etc) are made to order. My Diablo was a very typical "spicy marg" but was more sweet than spicy for sure. Overall very high prices for the food but not a rip off per se. Excellent server Maddie who was attentive and personable.

    We made a reservation with friends at 6 pm on a Saturday.... Food was amazing but ambiance was a bit awkward that early in the evening. It's definitely more of a dark romantic evening setting. Cocktails were great and everyone enjoyed their entrees. Options to get gluten free as well!

    If You Must cocktail, sweet but not cloyingly so - well balanced

    This place is a vibe. Genuinely, the inside is just gorgeous. I came here with friends for dinner and we had a great time. I got the ...If You Must cocktail on the recommendation of our server (who was very helpful). We started with the white pizza as our app and it was very tasty. For my main I went with the Cod. It was light and refreshing with a distinct dashi flavor which was lovely. Is this place expensive? I mean yea. But the dishes we had I thought were tasty and you're also paying for the vibe so...what can you do. I think it's definitely worth checking out.

    Atmosphere is phenomenal. You walk in and get sucked into the darkness in the best way. It's like you're in a dark beauty and the beast scene. Food and cocktails were good. It is expensive- I would not recommend the steak for the price but the pasta was one of the best I've had. The pizza was also a fave

    I love the ambiance and seating at this restaurant. Great date vibes with pretty good food as well. I have personally enjoyed the salmon and cocktails. Service is also great and accommodating.

    Impossible Burger

    Overall (10/10): - Fantastic ambience, beautiful decorations, well done food - Bartleby Salad (10/10): flavors mixed perfectly, classic candied walnuts and Gorgonzola combination really hit well - Impossible Burger (10/10): fantastic flavor, truffle fries portion was generous and well done, burger bun buttered nicely - Mushroom Ravioli (10/10): perfectly cooked and mushroom cream sauce flavored very well, beautiful presentation

    Bartleby is beautiful! The ambiance is so posh and polished, I felt like royalty or like Bilbo Baggins in Great Hall of Thráin. Truly extraordinary! And the service was impeccable! Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He made us feel right at home. The food was also good, but didn't quite live up to the ambiance and service. Between the three of us, we had the salmon with couscous, the arancini, the scallops, a side of asparagus, and the deconstructed berry walnut pie with crème anglaise. The salmon and arancini were both five star and the scallops were almost there, but held back by the lovely looking, but not very tasty, squid ink sauce. The asparagus were nicely cooked, with a tasty char, but needed a squeeze of lemon. The pie was tasty, but textures were not quite perfect. Despite any food imperfections, I highly recommend a trip to Bartleby - it's magical!

    Great food the consistency is what makes it so good also I had a friend bring me here for a seafood…read moreboil. Their combinations are labeled by the days of the week, but you can order whichever one that you like any day of the week snow crab king, crab, muscles, oysters, scallops, of course, having the seafood cooked properly is what makes good seafood and also the seafood being fresh but for this place, I'd have to say in addition to that the sauce being made fresh with the garlic and all the seasonings is what also keeps me coming back. they have mastered the sauce combination not too salty not too sweet. You can customize your spice level anywhere from mild medium to hot. They also have good wings too if you're looking to get hot wings and fries, they have good fried fish. This place is about 25 miles away from me and I drive out to get the food every time so if you're looking for fresh properly cooked seafood, and a good seafood boil sauce this place I would highly recommend the service is pretty consistent helpful friendly the ambiance is a typical seafood place decor is seafood sea boat Florida type they have a bar good for watching the game it's not an upscale place super casual in my opinion.

    I don't eat seafood. As I am allergic to it. So why would I stop here. Well my grandmother…read morewanted some fish. I told the waitress and she said she would make sure the kitchen knows about my allergy. The food was very good. Cooked to perfection. My granny loved her fish and fries.

    1st couldn't find it because it had SamSylk's sign on top but that's that…read more We were welcomed with a happy face & a great voices. This was our 1st time here & they can tell we were. We let a gentleman go ahead of us because we were unfamiliar with the menu. My wrote ordered the "Savage Salmon w/ORings" my mom ordered the "plain Salvage Bacon Cheeseburger w/Fries" sthen comes my order "plain Savage Double cheeseburger w/fries". It took a few minutes because they were all made fresh, the ORings & fries were made fresh. The sides were just the right size for the meals. My wife's Salmon was to perfection & so was my mom's burger. My burger was flavorful just the right seasoning on fries also, just wished I didn't have the i think it was the green parsley but it was OK on it I'm not a big fan of it. The tables were clean & so was the entire restaurant it made it more welcoming since it was clean. So we're the workers... I would definitely come again, oh I forgot to mention my wife & mom would come again that means a lot to me... ***BUEN PROVECHO***

    If you are looking for a good burger this is the place. The patties are delicious I like five guys…read morebut these are fair better than theirs. The burger was cooked to perfection no pink but it was not burnt to a chard. The fries are fresh and not overly seasoned. My husband ordered a grilled salmon burger.... he received a fried salmon burger yet it was tastey. The lobby was clean and tidy. I would wish the screen pricing matched the register pricing. And that the cashier understood how to take an order. There are some things lacking but those will come with time. Just watch the pricing and double check your order before you leave.

    I've seen this place on TV New away Cleveland. So I wanted to try. We happened to be in the area…read moreand decided to try. We wanted a small bite not too much and this ended up being perfect. On the outside it's a big silver diner. Looks smaller than it is. Inside there is a good amount of seating and it's not small. Parking is right out front. We sat and ordered pretty quick. I got the chicken noodle soup and salad. Kathy got the Greek salad with chicken. We both got the Greek dressing. The chicken noodle was homemade with plenty of big carrots, celery, egg noodles and a bit of chicken. It was good. Could have used a bit more chicken but it was full of veggies and tasted good. Plus it was hot. Love it. Salad came and it was a decent size. Also lots of veggies. It was just enough food. And the price was great under $8. The Greek salad could have been a bit larger. I thought it looked a bit skimpy. But Kathy got a whole chicken breast cut up. She sub's out the gyro meat. Again dressing was homemade and really good. The desserts looked super good but we did not partake. The menu is good with Bfast, lunch, dinners. Everything from burgers, sandwiches, pasta. Lots to choose from and prices are decent. Service was good. She was very attentive. Overall, good experience and good quick lunch. I'd go back.

    It was ok. My sandwich was on a croissant and that was good…read more My daughter got the chicken paprikash. It smelled weird. I tasted a dumpling and it was not good. She tried to get me to try the chicken but I didn't want to get sick. It smelled like industrial cleaner. The waitress was nice and my daughter got either the pot roast or roast beef. That was okay she said. The onion rings were excellent and the best part of our meal.
