   This is a review of Open Table as we were not informed that Artisan eas permanently closed prior to our arrival. We bookef several weeks ago. This was a huge inconvenience. This is not the first time we have booked through open table and arrived at the restaurant only to find it was closed. This happened on new years eve a few years ago. Ruined our evening both times

   I can't give you a review because restaurant closed 2 months ago & will not reopen. THey never let us know & neither did open table. We showed up there & doors were closed even after getting Open Table reminder of reservation. Improve your verification of restaurants on your list. Their website doesn't show closed either, A neighboring restaurant told us. We were forced to make other plans.

   We heard after going that they'll be closing soon and it doesn't surprise us. The service was slow and spotty, the menu extremely limited and for the most part uninspired. One dish was excellent and one was inedible. Even if they don't close, we certainly wouldn't return.

   This used to be one of the top restaurants on the California Central Coast. However, their service and food have faltered of late. Disappointing.

   The restaurant was nice, but they had a significantly limited menu due to their planned closure on May 19 (which we didn’t know until we showed up - even though reservations were made Weeks in advance. )

   Food was delicious! Sad they are closing soon - and that may be why it was so eerily empty on a Thursday night when all the surrounding restaurants were bustling. Servers were really nice, but quite sparse - however, few were needed with so few patrons. No more beers on tap which was a bummer. Really tasty beet salad - was our favorite dish that we ordered. Also had the Brussels sprouts SLO pork. I have not heard if they plan to reopen - I hope so as we would definitely go back.

    This restaurant used to be amazing - a true pioneer in the area and a dining experience in the wine country. Now it is just ho-hum. Another place to get a margarita pizza and some brussel sprouts. The food is fine, service is good, cocktails ok but there are better places to spend your time and money. I was very disappointed.

    Good food great service. The mushroom toast and beet salad were excellent. I never order chicken in a restaurant but here I liked what it was served with. The chicken breast was moist and tasty and the couscous great. Even the dessert was yummy. A reasonably priced and casual restaurant. I would definitely recommend it.

    We were in Paso Robles for the Hospice du Rhone wine conference and wanted a dinner upon our arrival into town. We chose Artisan for its location and the menu looked interesting. We were quite pleased with our meal. The service was great. The wine list offers some great wines. It is not full of brand name wines, but instead offers many interesting and small production wines. The food was quite enjoyable. The menu changes often based on what is available and in season. We were able to choose from a wide variety of items ranging from wild boar to chicken to steak, as well as super delicious pizzas. We enjoyed our meal so much that we returned another evening for dinner and also for brunch during our stay. I highly recommend visiting Artisan.

    Worst meal my wife and I have in the last 40 years. Went there for sea food and no sea food now on menu. Wife had skirt steak that was cold when served and server offered to heat it up. No visit my manager to discuss the problem. I would not recommend to anyone for any occasion.

    We have always enjoyed the food, especially the mushroom toast! and the flavors this time did not disappoint! We were surprised that the service this time was much slower (took 45 minutes until we could place our food order and when we asked for pepper with our salads most at the table had already finished their salads by the time the pepper arrived) but the food was still just as outstanding as always. We'll be back but perhaps on a different night when staffing is higher.

    $25 corkage. Waitress offered some extra crostini for our appetizer, which was nice , got 4 pieces and a charge of $3. Seriously? Should tell customer it will cost extra. Again waited an hour for the entree. Been going to Artisan for years, but I am done. Used to be my favorite, no more

    Service was slow. Our server brought us dessert menus before bringing us our entrees. That’s how long it took to get our food. They forgot about us and didn’t apologize for the delay. Restaurant wasn’t that busy. Quality of food has changed since they moved locations and changed owners.

    We were disappointed to find the small plates menu drastically reduced. Our meals were good but somewhat unremarkable. Table near the door was low on ambience. Then I got a pop up notice from Open Table scolding me for no show. While seated. Got that straightened out through Open Table but hostess was struggling. Don’t think we will return.

    My hanger steak tasted like it was tenderized under a saddle, and then cooked in the same skillet they use to make liver and onions. My wife had a bite and said "oh that tasted like liver, I don't like that". My martini was good, and the only reason I finished my meal...was because I had two of them.

    We had a horrific experience. We arrived and it took the wait staff 20 minutes to get us water and coffee, the restaurant was not busy. One of the workers was in fuzzy mocasins, this is supposed to be an upscale restaurant. the Mortadella Bahn Mi was uninspiring, dry, and the veggies werent even pickled. Potatoes that came with the breakfast dishes were unseasoned and simply tossed on the plate straight from the deep fryer. This place needs some serious help, unenthused service with mediocre food for the price, SOS.

    Artisan is a fine dining place for meat-eating folks looking for a fancy meal. There are a couple of vegetarian options, too. The wine and beer menu offers a well-rounded variety. My husband ordered the abalone appetizer which he said was delicious but decadent. He was rather disappointed that it was breaded and fried, and this was not made clear on the menu. So, it's best to ask your Artisan server how certain dishes are prepared to avoid dissatisfaction. His entrée of choice was the wild boar tenderloin; he loved it. After he ordered, I selected the Vina Robles 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon for him, and he savored the glass of wine before, during, and after dinner. My friend is vegetarian, so she ordered the kung pao glazed Brussels sprouts appetizer, which we all ended up sharing. Her entrée of choice was the delicata squash. It was so plentiful that she had to take half of it (and a few of the Brussels sprouts) home. I started with the garden greens minus the cheddar since I don't eat dairy. I was a little surprised to taste the crunch of salt crystals on a salad, especially knowing that eating overly salted food is a habit detrimental to health. My selected entrée was the organic mushroom pizza; it was delicious and loaded with goat cheese, leeks, and slices of fungi. I stay away from white flour products, though, and I really wanted the choice of a whole wheat crust. Again, I experienced the massive salt crystals, and I winced. My husband and our friend each had a slice. I ordered a glass of wine based on our server's recommendation after telling her my favorite varietals. It was the Herman Story 2013 "Casual Encounters," a Rhône red blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Tannat, and it was exceptionally delicious. While the experience was memorable, we were a bit let down overall -- partly due to the poor choice of piped-in music. What "high-end" restaurant plays Bon Jovi during Saturday night dinner? Ugh.

    Visiting Paso Robles for the first time, we went by several reviews that had Artisan as the tip or near tip of best restaurants in the area. We visited on a quiet Tuesday evening. There were 16 patrons in the entire restaurant from when we arrived at 6:45 pm until we departed at 9:25. Note the amount of time we were there . 1. We waited more than 10 minutes after we were seated to be greeted by our server. 2. We only ordered 4 entrees with no salads or apps ordered. After she took our order (more than 35 minutes after being seated) our entrees were served 49 minutes after that. 3. After waiting for an unreasonable amount of time for our entrees, one Hanger Steak that was ordered to be cooked at medium rare plus, came bloody and near rare, rare. After sending it back, another 20 minutes to get it back. 3. We brought in a bottle of Paso Robles wine to drink as we had heard that if you brought a local wine in that the corkage fee would be waived. They charged us 25.00 for the privilege. In summary, while the food was better than average, the experience here was an F. Don’t believe the internet hype. Finally, our 4 entrees with 3 deserts and the corkage fee was more than $220.00! Again, no salads or apps, just 4 entrees, some potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Ridiculous prices for a disappointing evening at Artisan.

    We were excited to go Artisan based on other reviews, but once there, were disappointed. Not only was the ambiance lack-luster, reminding us of a nicer version of Denny's, but the kitchen also ran out of pizza dough. Thankfully, we walked over to another restaurant and had an amazing dinner.

    Dined here our first night visiting Paso Robles and it will definitely be at the top of our list to revisit on our next trip! Pate was exceptional, brussel sprouts were some of the best we’ve had and the burrata pizza with chorizo was perfect. Excellent cocktails and wine selection. Service was outstanding - would give more stars for it if I could.
