    Wonderful, attentive service. Beautifully decorated space with a gorgeous view. Brunch was tasty and the bloody mary with chicken and waffles was a meal in itself. Will definitely return.

    Our party of six had a wonderful outing on a busy Saturday night. The staff was attentive to our party’s requests and made very good drink recommendations. Everyone enjoyed their entrees, which included the salmon, grilled chicken breasts, and the ravioli. All were delicious. Even with a full restaurant, it didn’t seem too loud. Our party was able to converse without raising our voices. Although the bar area was really close to our table, we didn’t hear any carryover conversations. That could be due to the light traffic at the bar on this night. But it didn’t seem like a raucous bar would be the norm here on any night. We will likely book here again when we’re in the area for our next show.

    Artisan is a favorite for delicious and fresh vegetable-rich meals. We love the Chef's monthly themed dinners and the way the kitchen aims to accommodate dietary preferences. I ordered the catch of the day over the brussels/pistachio/pesto preparation and it was perfect. There is a trend to fry the brussels until they are unrecognizable and cover them in sauce, but Artisan maintains a delicate flavored vegetable that compliments the dish. The autumn salad with blueberries, pomegranate seeds and almonds was excellent also. The main dining room is a cheerful relaxing space and the staff is welcoming and helpful.
