    Last night was one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. It certainly a stand out in the region. We were seated next to the kitchen, which was incredibly fun ask for it if you can. The team is all Young both on the floor and in the kitchen. They were charming, intelligent, strong, communicators, and very talented. I thought the price of the meal was very very fair. Considering what it would cost to have a three course meal in in a top rated restaurant with a well-known chef. If it’s on the menu, we recommend you try the ice cream made a tableside, it’s a great show. There were two of us and we both ordered dessert and got an ice cream for the table. The ice cream is only five dollars and the server spent more than seven minutes with us. I know because I videotaped it. High marks from my in all categories.

    Our server Johnny was so knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us a little history on the Abbey and the town. The food was delicious, cooked to perfection and the bartender made a great cocktail.

    The evening was fantastic. The staff was immediately welcoming and brought us right to our table. The staff waitress was friendly and kind. Gave us plenty of time to settle in. The drinks, appetizers, entrees and deserts were excellent, delicious and nicely prepared. We were given plenty of time between courses and never rushed to order. The service was excellent as always and we have been dining out at Sal & Pepe's for a number of years. The Management and Staff makes sure you feel welcomed and have great service.

    Went with a friend and sat in the bar area because there was a private event in the dining room. The roasted oysters with hen of the woods mushrooms was different and superb. The barata with prosciutto and figs was delicious also. For entree the crispy duck breast with mission figs and Brussels sprouts was cooked perfectly. My friend had the Scottish salmon and she said it was excellent. I would highly recommend Artisan and definitely would order the above dishes again.
