It’s always a fantastic time !! It’s our go to when I want a nice drink, delicious food, and great company. Not to mention it’s beautiful and classy. Teddy (Ted) the owner is amazing, hands on deck guy. Always there making sure you have the best experience. And he smells good too 🙂 Katrina and Ryan have always gone above and beyond for us. Making my special martini before I’m even sitting. So many other great staff members, too many to name, but they are all always inviting and pleasant.
Artisan is definitely on repeat for us !!
From the start, the dining room was overrun with flies. At any given time there were at least five buzzing around us or landing on our table, food, and even on us. For a restaurant at this price point, that’s unacceptable and immediately took away from the experience.
We arrived around 3:30 PM, but were told dinner service didn’t start until 4:30. We decided to wait, but once we ordered, the food still took nearly an hour to come out. I even overheard our server in the back complaining about a dinner order that had been in for 45 minutes, which turned out to be ours.
When the food finally arrived, my thick-cut pork chop was excellent, perfectly cooked and flavorful, but it was obvious the sides had been plated far earlier and left to sit. The vegetables were cold and unappetizing, and the shoestring potatoes were stone cold.
Service was polite but disengaged. The servers avoided eye contact with me altogether and only addressed my wife, which felt awkward and dismissive.
Between the flies, the wait times, and the uneven service, this visit was a major disappointment. For the price, there are far better dining options in the area, I’d recommend taking your money elsewhere until they address these issues.
There were two of us, had 6:30 reservations on a Wednesday night. Got seated right away. The place was buzzing and there was a full house. We were seated along the front windows. The smaller tables are a little closer than I would pick, but our fellow diners had quiet conversations. There was also a musician playing near the door, but not too loud or distracting.
Our servers did a great job the entire evening with getting us drinks, food, and any else we needed. Thanks Mallory and Sofie for being personable and fun!
Got a couple of the Brown Mumblers, which are basically an Old Fashioned with a brown sugar cube and sweet soda. Which is very good!
We had the Bang Bang Shrimp of an Appetizer, Tortellini and Short Rib for our Entrees. Everything came out hot, flavorful and good portions. The Shrimp was cooked perfectly, nice and firm and flavorful. The Short Rib was tender and loved the addition of the Leek Bone Marrow Butter (seeing lots of Bone Marrow Butter in other restaurants).
The musician that they had play an excellent collection of classic rock, but in a more quiet, subtle style. Excellent choice for the evening.
Another nice evening. Would definitely recommend to others.
