Bartizan Events

Attentive service, great location. This review needs 84+ characters apparently, so I'll keep spewing whatever.

This was a very nice place for dinner. Six of us went... and since it is a little pricey, we all couldn't go together often. However, it was a very nice meal.There is indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is very bright and modern. The service was also excellent. They have a nice wine and cocktail selection to try as well.We ordered a mix of pizza, crab cakes and a sausage pasta dish. The sausage pasta dish got spicier the closer you got to the bottom of the bowl! Very nice place and definitely worth giving a try.

Sometimes a place surprises you...I mean REALLY surprises you. That's what happened when I visited Bartizan for the first time. Friendly staff...check and check. Atmosphere...check but a little cold.Food...check. I had perused the menu online. To be fair, I was expecting to have a modified lunch menu selection with some brunch items, so I was disappointed that the brunch was so limited. I ordered the vegetable frittata, which was sparse in the veggies but I also ordered a side of asparagus, which made up for it. My husband had the crab cakes Benedict, which was delicious. When I scoped out the menu earlier, I noticed a gazpacho, which is a top favorite for me. I asked our server, who was awesome and worth a nice tip, if I could get a bowl and she totally took care of us. Since we were later for brunch, I decided to do my Yelp friends a solid and order a few things off the happy hour menu. We got a watermelon sashimi, which was amazing and winner of the day...mushroom tacos. I don't know what they do to their vegetables but they need to keep doing it.

Had their gnocchi and it was really, really good. Good atmosphere. Nice without being too too fancy. Unfortunately, they're closing down soon and reopening as an events space. Better get there while it lasts!

Absolutely loved this restaurant and sad to hear that they are changing it to only catering. The food was scrumptous, the drinks were very good, and the setting was beautifully clean. We got 3 dishes which are in between tapas size and regular dishes and were full. If you don't have it, for the time it remains open as a restaurant, get the Royalty Card for the 20% discount. Wish they would either expand to ensure the restaurants stays open but best of luck to the owner is his future ventures and keep making that delicious food!

So I am really struggling with this review. I haven't given a 2 star restaurant review in I don't know how long. The 2 is a mix of the food and ultimately the experience. The reviews have been so great here and I was so looking forward to it. I'm so disappointed. We all were...First off, I would say our waitress was super kind and provided great recommendations. This review was by no fault of her. To be honest, the manager that walked up to us as we were paying last night at the end of our meal asked us how it was and said "why no dessert", and we responded we waited for over two hours for just our food... and were trying to get to our reservation at Hotel Greene that we paid for. He then proceeded on with a joke and said what's wrong with staying at Batizan all night. We were all turned off by it... and he said," why not take dessert to go".... While we didn't say this but when we pay 20... 24... for pasta and 29 for crab cakes we have some expectations of an entree not a small plate and still a little hungry there is a problem.We all had two rounds of drinks... so everyone's drinks were pretty good except for the Blackberry Bramble which I started off with first. It felt like they forgot the alcohol... and tasted like tap water with a few drops of sugar. Not sure what happened there. Then I proceeded with the Pineapple drink which was an improvement. My girlfriend ordered the Margarita twice as she enjoyed it, and her husband and mine enjoyed their drinks. So the whipped feta appetizer... so I loved this... probably my favorite... great combination of a hint of salt, sweet honey and some crunch with the pistachios. I could've eaten tons of their bread in hindsight they offered to refill it twice and we took them on one of the offer should've refilled it twice (Granted, not sure if they charged us for each refill... they should've given more bread to start with). The calamari wasn't any of our favorite (we suggest a change in recipe it was surprisingly bland but as a Kalamata olive lover I was ok grabbing a piece of olive to pair with the calamari so it provided enough salt... also swap the bland bread with the fresh naan like bread with the feta would've been a plus), and not good enough for us to finish... Mind you I think we were all starving because we waited for our meal so long. The time between apps and our entree was probably an hour and 15-20 minutes. I don't even normally say anything but we had 9:30 reservations at Hotel Greene and it was 8:58 for a 7:00 reservation and we still did not get our entrees yet. They kept asking us whether we wanted a third drink but I wanted to say if it's on the house sure... at any rate no apologies for the wait they just had 2-3 people come by to say our food was on the way. I finally got fed up and made a comment to our waitress, We may not have gotten our food if I didn't. Three of us got pasta dishes my husband got the Sausage Fettuccine (while amazing and delicious $20 took him two minutes to scarf down is a problem... probably the smallest fettuccine ever... but hold off, my gnocchi was even more tragic. Two of us ordered the gnocchi... I was literally about to say I didn't order salad to the waitress haha... glad I pulled myself back. There were maybe a max of 7 gnocchi if not less underneath the arugula. $3.80 for a 5 lb bag of potatoes and $1.96 for 5 oz .... No this dish is not worth $24. I actually enjoyed the consistency, more mashed potato style and grilled... not the traditional chewiness... though my husband wondered if they cooked it enough and we were in a rush so I wasn't going to question it. At that point I was just starving and ate it all so quick same with our friend. My girlfriend got the crab cakes and apparently filler was unreal and it did not taste good so she had most of it leftover. My husband and our friend was missing their side carrots and Brussel sprouts... we didn't even remember that until we left ($6 each) but again we were trying to get out and the manager making the comments were a complete annoyance.Just take a look at the pic of the gnocchi it's really jarring... $240+ later with tip... no we don't want dessert and personally we should've been offered something for our wait which we were not. I dislike giving bad reviews because I'm a big supporter of restaurants, but this review was really warranted.

I love bartizan!! I have been here 3 times so far and plan to come back more. Love their menu - small plates. Some of my faves have been the whipped feta, sweet potato gnocchi and their tacos. Drinks are pretty good too! I love the margs. Staff is very friendly and attentive. They have outdoor seating as well as indoor and there is a free parking garage right next to the restaurant. Overall great environment and great food!

I came here for a professional dinner. This was formally wine loft ,changed to a restaurant and is now in event space. Beautiful lighting and Decor large space could be perfect for a bridal shower rehearsal dinner , holiday party or possibly even a wedding. Food was beautifully plated and absolutely delicious. Right in the heart a short pump with parking decks and accessible parking areas around. Definitely a place to consider when planning a formal event . Yowant to sacrifice the quality of the food and the ambience. Beautiful location. Tootles

My organization recently held a Leadership Retreat at Bartizan. I can't say enough about how wonderful it was to work with the Bartizan staff. They worked to ensure the event space was set up to meet our needs. The food was delicious and the service was superb. I recommend their space for any of your upcoming meetings.

Went here as a guest at a wedding. The food was mediocre at best- weird combinations were selected paired with main dishes. Cold parsnip mash, coated in a wine reduction that took it from bad to worse. Only water at the table- no offer of alternates such as tea. The rolls were room temperature and so dry it took 3 glasses of water to rehydrate after eating one. The space was okay, but lacked seating options during cocktail hour (and a half). The only seating was outside or up the steps with no clear way for someone disabled to reach it. All the floors were cement, so when paired with minimal seating, resulted in feet that ached into the following day. The DJ was absent most of cocktail hour and really did not "DJ" but instead put on a playlist (or most likely streamed it in) and walked away.
