   This is one of my favorite restaurants in Traverse City. The atmosphere and view are outstanding, the staff are very personable and attentive, the food is delicious and there is a very large selection of spirits and unique drinks.

   Jenee was our server and did such an amazing job for our daughter's 12th birthday. She added a personal touch and was very attentive to our group. The ambiance and set up is really perfect, especially for the colder months when there isn't much to do. My only suggestion is more food options or small plates because if you're not drinking alcohol it's hard to meet the minimum when with children. Pizza would be awesome!

   This was our second visit to Artisans’. The atmosphere is upscale casual and the food, service and experience were just what we hoped for. We have recommended it to family and friends and we look forward to outdoor dinning this summer.

   It was our first time at Artisan. From beginning to end it was top notch. We loved everything about our evening from the greeting from the hostess, a drink at the bar, our very special spot in front of the fireplace, to the food. We chose from the three course meal which had such wonderful options, and for such good value. We will return, that is for sure, with several of our friends in tow! Bravo!!

   We like artisan, we’ve been here a couple times and we’ve enjoyed the food on previous visits. We tried the restaurant week menu last night, and I was a bit disappointed with the item I chose. I had the steak with a potato and broccolini. The best part was the broccolini, even though it was kind of flavorless. But the real bummer was the steak, which was quite grizzly throughout, and the potato served with the steak, had an unusual taste to it. I got through as much of the steak as I could to preserve having some kind of food for my dinner, but I did not eat any more of the potato. So that was a bummer! The food at Artisan is usually top-notch, my suggestion would be to choose from the menu versus the restaurant week menu choices as they are, in the case of the steak, a lower grade item in order to meet the price point set by restaurant week. The steak on the regular menu has been very good in the past. We’ll give them another try, but will likely not come back for restaurant week menu.

    3-13-2023 The food was great. We both ordered from the Restaurant Week menu. I enjoyed the cod cakes appetizer, the roasted cauliflower and farro with the sun-dried tomato arugula sauce entree and the tiramisu for dessert. It was more than I could eat, and I’m finishing it up for lunch today. My husband had the cucumber salad, the veal pasta, and also the tiramisu. He loved them too. The service was very friendly good generally—but slow, and I do have trouble with the sound level. Voices, music, clanking of dishes and silverware make it difficult for me to carry on a conversation. Still, it’s an excellent restaurant.

    We arrived about 30 minutes prior to our reservation and enjoyed a cocktail at the bar. The vibes were great, and the service was excellent. Food was great as was the presentation. They have a good wine selection (and helpful sommelier) that spans any pallet and pocketbook. We will definitely visit again when in the area.

    Our server Victoria (I think) took care of our every need; she performed her service with knowledge of her job and with tact and skill. She was a lovely, sincere person. The table settings were beautiful—we enjoyed the simple white roses and little lights. For me, the only thing slightly off was the noise level. I wear hearing aids, and I know that other hearing-aid-wearers have a similar problem in restaurants.

    The only thing was that the fire alarm went off and made it difficult to hear each other as it was a work meeting! We were going to get our dessert to go then the alarm went quiet. Thanks!

    We had the restaurant week pre-fix , the descriptions were more appealing than it actually tasted. The service was ok. It took 3.5 hours and the gap between the 1st and 2nd course was nearly an hour which felt too long for early in the night- we sat at 4:30. We have been there several times and this was not the best experience. However, it wouldn’t deter me from coming back. Great ambiance, great views and usually good food.

    We were there during restaurant week and enjoyed the 3 course meals very much. Of course the rooms were packed and we had to wait 25 minutes beyond our reserved time. However, the hostess suggested we obtain drinks at the bar and wait in the adjacent community room. We did and it was very pleasant. She them came and directed us to our table.Our waiter was Joanna and she was wonderful - knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. We also enjoyed chatting with the manager and learning about the "charm bracelet". We look forward to returning!

    The greeting was not necessarily ideal, but after requesting a different table our experience turned out to be wonderful. I won't lie we considered going somewhere else at first due to the poor seating and wait times, but after speaking up we were given a nicer table and a proper waiter. More than five people waited on us and they were professional and kind, the chef gave us some complimentary dishes which were AMAZING, and we got half off our bottle of champagne which was also extraordinary.

    Artisan is fabulous! When you are greeted at the door you realize that it’s going to be a special evening. You can check your coat before being escorted to your table. The bar has an amazing fireplace as does the dining room. Looking out at the bay is lovely any time of year- I can’t wait til it’s warmer and we can sit on the patio (no reservations, only first come, first served). And that’s before we even get to the food and the professionalism of the staff. As the manager, Doreen (Sp?) is most welcoming and warm, with a great eye to detail. Abdul seems to be everywhere, and gives just that little extra je ne sais quoi when making fabulous cocktails. Giovanni, Ann Marie, Johanna, and all others make it a pleasure to dine at Artisan. Finally, the food. The amuse-bouche is a lovely start to the meal, followed by warm focaccia served with oil and vinegar. One of my favorites is the lobster roll and fries, though the shrimp cocktail, fish and tuna crudo are also fabulous. This is a splurge restaurant, so plan on making a really lovely evening out of it!

    Valentines dinner w 3 course meal, two were great (snapper and desert) and 1 blah. Great wine list. Interesting cocktails. Second visit and both are worthy of special events. Blah was Truffle soup w shaved black truffles -was bland and with no truffle flavor which was weird as there were 2-3 shaves of truffle visible. Puff pastry topping and cheese were perfect We’ll return

    We used the Cozy Cabanas this winter. The menu was more limited because of that outdoor pool experience, yet the food and service was delicious. Our teen boys declared Artisan's french fries as the best they've ever had. We also had burgers, salmon and cesar salads. Everything was wonderful- and the outdoor service was fantastic.

    We reserved a cabana in the outdoor pool area. While the pool and cabana were great, the food options were very limited and extremely expensive. $25 for a cheeseburger. Hopefully they modify their cabana menu in the future.
