Had the Tuesday sushi roll special, wings, Mac & Cheese and garlic mashed potatoes for a tapas style dinner. Sushi was marginal. Tasted more cream cheese than anything else. Wings, we had Buffalo and garlic parmesan style. Wings literally had garlic shredded on top of wings that was so overpowering, couldn’t eat them. And, that’s surprising, because they were tiny. One was so small, I couldn’t see the meat – look at the picture & decide for yourself. The 4 cheese Mac& cheese – could only taste one cheese & it was bland.
Folks, as a Google local guide with more than 50 million views, I’m a fair and reasonable critic. Maybe this was an off night – we all have them. If this is the standard, I won’t be back. Judge for yourself. Love the concept & the location. Execution wasn’t there tonight.

We’ve eaten here 3 times and each time has been great. Most recently Jake our waiter used all the skills of a great waiter to ensure we had the best experience. We sat outside near the waterfall and enjoyed sushi and burgers followed by a wonderful key lime tart for dessert. And they serve coffee from the coffee shop next door to ensure you have the best. The experience was wonderful. You can’t go wrong here.

We got there at 8 p.m. tonight a Wednesday night, ordered right away, and our food did not arrive until after 9 pm. Two of us ordered Poke bowls and the other person ordered Fish & Rice, the other two people had only drinks. It was not very crowded at all, so I don’t know why it took an hour to get very simple dishes. On the upside, the food was absolutely delicious. The decor and environment is fun with a beautiful outdoor waterfall and umbrellas.

The quality of the food here is excellent.
The first time I went here, I was a little thrown off by the diversity of the three menus, which are steakhouse, sushi, and bar foods.
But it is nice to be able to order off any of them at any time, especially knowing that it will be exceptional regardless of what your order. It also makes this an great option when your group can’t agree on what to get.
My only complaint would be that some of the main entrees are on the pricey side.

Had an amazing experience eating here with my significant other. I love the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant. They encourage you to share food with the people you come with and if my boyfriend weren’t allergic to seafood, we definitely would have! Everything was delicious and reasonably priced.

A wonderful extension of the great Lure restaurant in downtown St. Pete! They have a beautiful patio, complete with a gorgeous and relaxing waterfall. Lots of fans to keep the patio more than comfortable, even on our hot days. Lots of tv’s as well as a modern round bar and two high end pool tables. Most importantly the food was just as amazing as the downtown location. You never know when a location extends, whether or not the food quality will be the same… but their food was 100% in line with what you would expect and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the voodoo chips! They make a great mule as well!!

New experimental dining concept, with multiple restaurants sharing a common dining area and waitstaff. If timing counts to you, order judiciously and mindful of estimated prep time, because the orders come out when ready.
Early reviews criticized the waitstaff, but we had no issues, got very nice service.
Think of it as a Tapas restaurant with everything from Sushi, to bar food, to steak house in one place.
If you expect to order multiple items, from apps to dessert, and count on the staff and kitchen to bring them out in the right order, go elsewhere. The food we tried was good, mostly sushi. Next time, steak!

The artisan gave me the best restaurant meal I’ve had in so long. I really liked their multiple selections of menus that broke it down to category so I know if I’m in a sushi mood, I look at that one and so on. Holden the manager gave my group a great experience as well with amazing wine selections and even better humor.

Was very excited to experience Pinellas County’s first “Food Hall”. Unfortunately, the Artisan did not hit the mark. First of all, it is not a food hall. It is three restaurants sharing a dining room, with no shared vision or purpose. The wait staff is uninformed and sloppy. Cutoff shorts and jeans with holes made up the uniform. My waiter, though nice, was unable to answer the very basic of questions, such as what spirits comprised the happy hour menu. After ordering, the drinks are slow to get to your table, the food is VERY slow. After a 40-minute wait, finally received my steak, truffle fries, and mac and cheese. The steak was cold, and rare, when ordered medium. The fries were cold, and tasted as if they had come from a frozen bag. The macaroni and cheese tasted worse than boxed. The waiter informed us that we were the fourth table to complain about the food that night. I can’t imagine this place will last very long. Management was very apologetic, and offered one free drink and appetizer. Even if it was free, I wouldn’t come back.
