About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
Artisan Bistro is a modern and inviting dining room dressed in rich dark and light woods with elegant European design elements. Accents of black, off-white, cognac, blues and warm grays echo a classic bistro look and feel. Crafted wood wainscoting throughout the room and soft ambient lighting from above highlight the white-washed, wood floors to further enhance the bistro-like setting. New stitched-leather booth seating lines the dramatic floor to ceiling wall of windows overlooking Avery Street and two high-top u-shaped booths frame the space on either end. Additional cluster seating is intimate and close, allowing for easy conversation and lively exchange. Artisan Bistro features fresh, local seasonal dishes that present artisanal cooking in an approachable way.

    Wait staff and support staff are exceptional. Food was a disappointment. Pasta dish was cool and dry on outside--looked like it had been sitting for hours. Dessert was pretty to look at but cheesecake was lumpy and grainy.

    Great service. Food was very good but expensive. All wines are over $20 per glass and cappuccino are $9. So, a bit too expensive for a “bistro” experience

    Worst dining experience in Boston in quite some time. The server "E" was very friendly and effusive and although I tried to give him signs that I would like to sit and talk to my wife on our Wedding Anniversary, he stayed to talk quite a bit too much. Not the end of the World. I ordered a Burrata salad with Shrimp. "Chef needs 30 minutes to prepare the food" he said. OK it must be good then. I got a Salmon with Salad. Where was the Burrata? There was something white on the bottom of the plate underneath a bunch of salad but nothing that had a solid outer shell with creamy interior that I am used to whether it be at Puritan in Inman square or during travel abroad. Where was the Shrimp? "It is coming?" he said. I fully expected a PROPER Burrata this time but all I got was a small plate with 5 grilled shrimp on it. No apology. No check in either to see if things were OK or if we were happy. All this with one small starter, two drinks, two glasses of wine for $200. Wife enjoyed her order so at least there was that. Should have realized that a Hotel restaurant wouldn't live up to expectations. Won't be going back. Would dissuade anyone else from same - so many better options in the South End for an upscale experience. Struggling not to give this one star.

    I never leave (bad) reviews but this was a disappointment. I took my daughter for a special occasion and this place was not it. The service was very slow, the portions of salmon/chicken were really small, and the food was average at best. The rolls were good!
