Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Kent

We had a lovely brunch at the Artisan this afternoon. We had a 12:30 reservation, which was a good time as it was not too crowded. Both our selections from the fixed price menu were excellent. We had the French toast and the Crocque Madame. The eggs were perfect. The noise level was acceptable and there was a very good guitarist playing quiet background music. Very satisfactory. We recommend it.

Always a wonderful experience! Staff always so attentive and friendly and of course the food always amazing!

Fantastic food and drinks, we can't wait to go back.

My hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our extraordinary pre-Valentine’s Day lunch celebration! From the Black History Month-themed appetizer to classics like Escargot a la Bourguignonne and Cassoulet Toulousain, every bite was a revelation. We also enjoyed our conversations with our student servers whose attention and care was beyond professional. The perfect way to celebrate our love for food and each other!

Went for Monday Pasta Night prix fixe@$45. Great service, friendly and very attentive. The appetizers were delicious and plentiful. The pasta was just ok: cavatelli with duck ragu lacked flavor, tasted like it could have been made with ground turkey-no “oomph.” The spaghetti with clams and chili crisp was swimming in chili oil, tasty but too wet. Chocolate rocky road cheesecake was more like a thick mousse, but was tasty - albeit a bit too sweet. Not sure I think this is a “good” value, when you add in the wine (3glasses for two of us) and tax and tip the bill still comes to $165, for a pasta entree. I Love the ambience of this place, and it always has a very attractive crowd, just wish it was a bit less expensive.
