    Artisans was not too busy on the weeknight we ate there, and that may have helped the level of service—excellent, and the nice quiet atmosphere. The food preparation and taste combinations are simply artistry on a plate. Unusual and yet delicious! Only thing that still needs to be fixed are the uncomfortable chairs, for smaller people, but at least they offer cushions now to help. A really special meal!

    Artisan has a beautiful location overlooking the bay. The service was very good. I didn’t think the food was outstanding especially considering the price. The filet mignon could have been grilled better, no vegetables on the side. The flourless chocolate cake was rock hard and cold with a chocolate sauce that was frozen. My biggest disappointment is having to pay for bread and butter at a fine restaurant, seriously?

    Our meal was delightful in every way. We adored the cozy fireside ambiance, impeccable service, elegant cuisine and a sophisticated array of zero poof cocktails. Thank you for making my birthday extra special with a thoughtful card and a (delectable!) dessert on the house! We will be back, again and again!

    When we made the reservation we assumed we would be seated in the dining room. Unfortunately we were sat in the bar with a very noisy group/party standing at the bar. It was our 23rd anniversary dinner so we were just hoping for a bit more romantic setting. We asked to move and the hostess said they were too full even though there were still many open tables. Just would have liked to know at the time of booking reservation, we would have chosen something else for this occasion. With all that said, our waitress was attentive and the food was great.

    The food was ok, not worth the price . Our server was great. Worst dirty martini that I’ve ever had but they took it off my bill.

    Love the scallops, beet salad and espresso martini. Bar service for dinner and drinks was terrific, and it was so nice to hear live, mellow, acoustic music with a skillful musician!
