   We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with Artisan! The experience was exceptional; one of the best dining experiences I've had this year. Our waiter, Giovanni, was knowledgeable, and professional. The food far exceeded my expectations. The only aspect of the evening that was not perfect was due to the fact that our waiter was pulled to serve a large party during our meal, and we saw very little of him after that. No one asked if we wanted coffee with our dessert or refilled water glasses at our table. However, I understand that this was a holiday, and it was clear to see that the staff was working very hard, and probably somewhat exhausted. I will definitely visit Artisan again.

   Our server, Lauren was spectacular. The food was fantastic! It was a really good experience, and I’m glad that we came. But I do feel like the cost was exorbitant at the end of the day. The cost for the bottled water, when I didn’t know tapwater was an option, was ridiculous, And 20 some dollars for three shrimp? With tip, it cost me $250, when I was expecting 150 or thereabouts with an added cocktail. That part will keep me from coming back

   Good food - not as special as Thanksgiving 2023. Missed having the to-go bag of turkey sliders. Portions larger this year but I would have liked to have had smaller portions with a to-go option. I missed the delicious pot pie main course option too!!

   We were at Artisan for Thanksgiving. The service was great. Everyone was welcoming. The food was very good. The food last year for Thanksgiving was better.

   We are regular diners at Artisan and always enjoy our experience. Last night was truly outstanding. Service provided by Joanna was perfect. The beet salad, shrimp alla vodka, and duck breast were delicious and beautifully presented. The menu changes monthly and the chef is one of the most talented and creative in Traverse City. The atmosphere is lovely ( although I agree with other reviewers who have mentioned the too low chairs…I request a cushion) and we give Artisan our very highest recommendation.

   The overall value is limited based on high price to rent cabana. $150 to rent cabana for 2 children and three adults is beyond over-priced coupled with the cost of the food which is basically average. The pool water was definitely not heated to temperature advertised. Your cabanas would be full if you went back to your last year practice of no cost cabana rental. Would not do it again-

   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?
