Bascule Bridge Grille is an upscale-casual new American restaurant with a playful yet elegant atmosphere. Offering creative and flavorful fare, their focus is on seasonal food, local produce, innovative recipes, and the drinks that pair best with them. Bascule Bridge Grille is located in the Historic Ashtabula Harbor near the Ashtabula River and in close proximity to the Strauss Bascule Bridge — one of the last operational single-leaf bridges in Ohio. In 2011, chef and proprietor John Senger picked this scenic spot on Bridge Street and built their brand around its natural beauty, positioning Bascule Bridge Grille as a playground for the senses. Bascule chefs are especially proud of their scratch-cooking and slow food preparation abilities, which can be appreciated with any dish you choose on their rotating, seasonal menus.
