    We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner here. The special menu offered a nice variety of entrees including a traditional turkey dinner as well as a vegetarian option. Desserts were great although by that point we decided to take one of them home. Very cool chef’s gift at the end… a pair of turkey sliders for that Friday turkey sandwich. Great service too.

    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.

    We have gone to the Artisan for previous holiday celebrations, such as Christmas, Mother’s Day, and Easter. Our experience with Thanksgiving dinner was just lovely. A nice variety of menu choices and two delicious desserts. Everyone in our party raved about their food. We were even sent home with a to-go bag of turkey sliders, which was a very nice surprise. Highly recommended for lunch, dinner, and special occasions!

    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!!

    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

    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.
