New American Restaurants near Ashtabula, OH

“My wife and I had dinner here on the last night of our anniversary trip (Tuesday evening), and it was the perfect way to end our stay in Ashtabula. The restaurant is just a quick minute’s walk from the beautiful River Bend Hotel — super convenient!

We didn’t think to make a reservation since Google Maps showed no wait on a Tuesday, but it turned out to be quite busy. We put our name in and walked down to Bridge Street Tavern for a couple of drinks while we waited. Tip for anyone visiting: if you know when you’d like to dine, definitely make a reservation — it’s worth it.

Once seated, we had an excellent experience. The flank steak was phenomenal, and my wife’s salmon was cooked perfectly. Our waitress, Jamie, took great care of us, and we really noticed how well the entire staff worked together — the waitresses and bar team were all covering for one another seamlessly, which made for smooth and attentive service.

Highly recommend stopping at Bascule Bridge Grille when passing through Ashtabula. Great food, great service, and a warm local atmosphere — a perfect spot for any special evening!“
