"Located inside the Delamar Hotel, the Artisan dining room sits at the foot of Lake Michigan’s West Bay, making it one of the most ideally located restaurants in town. Thanks to a deep bench of both front and back of the house talent, Artisan’s menu, cocktail program, and hospitality are also best in class. Chef de Cuisine Sarah Bobier, a Traverse City native, attended the Culinary Institute of America and spent time working for French chef Jean-George Vongerichten among other industry giants before returning home. Look for selections that celebrate Northern Michigan’s farmers and micro seasons. Think: grilled Benzie County asparagus, charred lemon aioli, pecorino, and cured egg yolk." - Stacey Brugeman
