    A restaurant that is consistently excellent in service, food and atmosphere. The entry has been transformed into an Italian garden most effectively, so the entire experience is most transporting. The host always finds a way to accommodate our preference for a table where we can hear. Sometimes there is live music. Also, eating at the bar is fun. There is a smaller private glassed in room that is available for lunch meetings, family gatherings, or individual seating. A restaurant without issues, only enjoyment.

    Another FABULOUS, DELICIOUS dinner at Artisans tonight! We started off with the lobster bisque, which is some of the BEST in the city! It is so flavorful with a half of a lobster tail in it…I have to have it every time we go. My husband loves the escargot. I am always lucky enough to have a bite of his…also delicious! The peppercorn filet was cooked to the perfect medium rare temperature I requested. It was perfectly seasoned! I always sub the mashed potatoes for the mushroom risotto….which is incredible. And the haricots verts wrapped in prosciutto are out of this world. Even more than the amazing food it the incredible ambiance of the restaurant itself. The staff is so welcoming and the servers are so knowledgeable, warm and friendly. The extensive wine list and sommelier are very impressive, as well! We always look forward to a fun, relaxing and amazing dinner at Artisans. We can’t wait until our next visit!
