Artisan Restaurant Traverse City

Traverse City beautifully blends the charm of Lake Tahoe with the sophistication of the Hamptons, and Artisan perfectly captures that essence. This upscale restaurant offers a chic ambiance, exceptional food, and stunning views of the bay. While we dined inside and still enjoyed lovely bay vistas, we'd suggest reserving a patio table if possible for an even better experience. We came for the food and left thoroughly impressed. Our meal began with delightful Mill Milk Buns and uniquely flavorful oysters--tender and perfectly prepared. My steak was exceptional, accompanied by expertly layered potatoes with a delicate, crispy edge. My wife equally enjoyed the Shrimp Alla Vodka, savoring every bite. We finished with a shared dessert, the Fluffy Cheesecake with salted caramel and gingerbread cookies. Trust me--it tastes far better than it might initially sound, and you'll definitely consider ordering seconds. Service throughout was impeccable, matching the high standards of the entire dining experience.

Fantastic dining experience! Great menu with fresh seafood selections and unique takes on each item. Wonderful atmosphere and their waterside covered patio (when seasonally available) is stunning. Perfect location for a special occasion dinner.

Let’s just say the Artisan restaurant blew us away! We came to Traverse City to celebrate graduating from medical school, and they even personalized the dessert with a stethoscope! Everything was absolutely fabulous. We had the butternut squash shareable, as well as the halibut. The free-spirited apple cider drinks were delicious! Our server did an incredible job as well, making the effort to know our names and provide us with recommendations! 10/10 recommend. We will be back!

Overall experience was very positive! Great drinks and nice servers/bar staff. We enjoyed a beautiful but rainy evening on the patio, it was still great views and very comfortable. The wedge salad was great, so were the milk buns and the salted camaral cheese cake. I thought my pasta was a bit odd, but the people I was with loved their main course. The walleye was cooked perfectly. Indoors was pretty noisy, may not recommend for someone hard of hearing, but outdoors/covered patio was nice and quiet.

We celebrated our 30th anniversary at Artisan in Traverse City, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, making the evening feel truly special. Everything—from the service to the setting—made it a perfect place to celebrate such an important occasion. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Every dish we tried was a masterclass in flavor and texture. The tuna tartare was bright and refreshing, the wedge salad crisp and indulgent, the filet mignon melt-in-your-mouth tender, the duo of lamb rich and savory, the shrimp alla vodka silky and satisfying, and the scottish salmon perfectly balanced. Impeccable service, beautifully presented plates, and an atmosphere that made the whole evening feel special. A dining experience we’ll be coming back for.

Artisan’s staff, especially our server Joanna, went above and beyond to make my celebratory graduation dinner unforgettable. The food was absolutely fantastic; every single dish we were served was delicious and unique. The service was outstanding, and the ambiance was lovely. This was a truly perfect dinner. I will be recommending this restaurant to anyone heading to Traverse City and looking for an amazing dinner!

This place was amazing!!! We went to celebrate a big milestone (a friend being cancer free) and it was the best experience. The food, the service, the atmosphere was lovely. They even brought her a free dessert when they heard why we were there. Everyone loved their meal. I will dream about this salmon for the rest of my life. We were seating facing the sunset on the water and as it went down, they opened the drapes so we watch. Our server was so lovely and helpful!!! This is the place to go if you're in the area and looking for a special meal. Another bonus: they took a reservation for our large party, which was difficult to find!

This place was amazing! My husband and I came for our anniversary and the ambiance was top notch. We dined outside and were able to view the sunset throughout the whole meal. For our appetizer we got the farm board, but would probably opt for the bread and butter next time. The farm board was good, but this was the one item I could have gone without while dining. My husband got the Chicken Kefta as his main entree, which he said was very good. I got the scallops and those were very good as well! Both meals were delicious and we will definitely be come back! For desert we got the cheesecake which was very good! We walked in without a reservation and had mentioned to the server that it was our anniversary. When my cheesecake came out he had the happy anniversary message on it which was so nice! Overall the food was amazing and the service was as well! We will definitely be coming back here next time we are in traverse city!

I admit to having low expectations for two reasons. First, the restaurant is in a hotel, and second some of the reviews were not encouraging. It's Christmas Day 2023, and Red Lobster is the only other restaurant open today, so I opted for The Artisan, and I'm glad that I did. The staff welcomed us like we were actually welcome. All were inviting and engaging, and the ambiance was bright and happy. The fireplace was also a nice touch, but since it was fifty- five degrees outside I'm happy to have enjoyed its warmth from afar. Alex was our server, and he does a fine job of enough but not too much attention. Additionally, nobody on the staff addressed us as "you guys" which usually means that training, high standards, and leadership are involved. So, the staff and decor were base hits, but the food drove in the home run. I selected the striped bass and my wife went with beef. There were no cooks in the kitchen this day, because our starter, main course and desserts were products of a chef of some talent. Every course was attended to with great detail and creative presentation. I would add that the portion sizes were appropriate for those wishing to remain non-diabetic. Each dish was for one person instead four. Orson Wells's doctor once told him to quit ordering dinner for four unless he invited three others to join him. No gluttony at The Artisan. I appreciate those who give up their holidays to serve others. I worked many a Christmas on other holidays so that others could be with their families, so I know what it means to give up a traditional holiday. We were pleased with our selection of The Artisan for Christmas,and we will be back again. Oh, was it expensive? You betcha it was! Worth it? They made my wife happy, and that's priceless.

I had a nice meal at the bar here. I sat at the bar and the staff proved to be helpful and attentive all night. I did come on the earlier side (5:30ish) and by the time I left they were getting quite busy but seemed to work in an upbeat and organized format. The drinks here are just ok. They seem like they would be Uber fancy, but the aperol martini was a little syrupy for me. I switched to wine after that and was still underwhelmed. The hotel aesthetic was more upscale than some of the TC hotspots, but with a reception happening on the patio it was a bustling and louder than average environment. The Caesar salad had some interesting additions of capers and chickpeas. It was fine but slightly underdressed. The texture of the chickpea was welcomed but there were a few too many capers for my taste. If you are deterred by either of these items, I'm sure they can easily accommodate that. The spring pea carbonara was really wonderful! Although the word "carbonara" is a stretch. I don't believe the dish has any true components of carbonara (egg yolk, bacon, etc) so I would advise the name be changed to "spring pea primavera or pesto" to more accurately describe the dish. Strong mint and basil flavors complemented the fresh peas and nice presentation. My complaint lies within the pasta shape. Achieving a bite with tiny peas and long bucatini noodles was difficult at best. First world problem, I know. Overall, I would certainly give Artisan another try. I'd recommend customizing and specifying your drink orders in a detailed manner. This restaurant was still an enjoyable experience for me. *reservations almost always required

We went to the Artisan for 80th birthday celebration. Everything was perfect. Our welcome, and our waitress terrific. Food, service and the lovely ambiance made for the best evening ever! Our guests were very impressed. Definitely will consider for special occasions.

Exceptional service, Gio has to be the best server we've come across in a while. He was very knowledgeable about the menu. Was super friendly and made our anniversary/birthday dinner an unforgettable one. The food was delicious wish we were not full from a late lunch or I would've have tried much more.

The restaurant is located on the first floor of a hotel. It's nicely decorated and we sat outside with a great view of the water. The bread basket was good (extra charge) and the food was ok but they forgot to bring us the side that we ordered. It was nothing special and for the money, I would rather go other places.

Another visit to Artisan was disappointing. outdoor dining:10/10 food: 3/5 bread basket: 8 buckets, tiny piece of zucchini bread, 1 piece of garlic bread and crackers. who puts table crackers in a bread basket and charges 8 bucks? there were 6 of us. 1 person got bread. It really feels like they've lost their super star chef-- the food quality was not up to the standards of how this chef was described to us on previous visits. The appetizers were tasty- grilled asparagus, Caesar salad. Tomato special was meh, flavorless. Nothing special about the entrees. The fries are great. I can't recommend the Artisan based on this and a previous experience.

First time here. It's in a hotel. Pretty upscale restaurant and food. Pricey. Our waiter, James I think was his name, rocked! They were busy but he was on his game. Very personable. It is a select menu. The managers were top notch. Going to each table to make sure everything was good. The steaks were not cooked properly but they were on it quickly and insisted we got free dessert.

Such a surprise to have such a wonderful meal while staying at the Delamar! Husband had an amazing burger, surloin and brisket and raved about the fries. We went to dinner and had the prix fix meal suggestions. With a knowledgable server and her love of good food, we dined on the best kale salad I've ever had. The soup was savory and favorable on a snowy night by the fireplace. The ricotta gnocchi was melt in your mouth delicious with tiny capers in a brown butter sauce. Paired perfectly with his pork tenderloin medallions with a fine butternut or some wonderful puree and an apple butter sauce w mushrooms. Dessert was delish with the loveliest ice cream and spice cake with cherries. Wonderful place all around.

Amazing service and delish food and drinks!! Abdul was a great sever and makes ya feel at home!!!

We had a large group and they easily and happily accommodated us. Everyone enjoyed their meals especially the spaccatelli pasta and the cod dinner. Great atmosphere and attentive service! We will be back!

Truly outstanding. Started with the Lemon-Tahini Cauliflower per my bartender Anne-Marie, which was amazing - I particularly enjoyed the reconstituted riesling grapes as a component. Next I had the privilege of trying the Great Lakes Walleye, served by Chef Sarah herself. Truly divine composition - I recommend it with a glass of local pinot gris from Shady Lane. Atmosphere, food quality, and service were all superb. Will definitely return time and time again.

I came to Artisan for a late brunch and it was by far the best meal I had during my stay in TC. Place was not busy at 2:30pm and my group of 7 was taken care of very quickly. Our server, whose name I don't remember, was so friendly and polite. I had the eggs Benny and it was fantastic!

Visited Artisan for restaurant week with our group of six. We were promptly seated at a table with a beautiful view of both the fireplace and Traverse Bay. Our server, Kate, was a gem! She was very attentive, offered suggestions and explained each offering. Our meals were fantastic. Each entree was exactly as described by Kate. Delicious. It was a great night and we already have plans to come back. Highly recommend.

Food fresh, tastes good but nothing mind blowing . Ambience excellent on the lake. Place over priced - $8 for 4 pieces of bread, Pasta with add chicken $50 ?!? Do NOT get the mushroom pasta - yuck ! Chicken was good. Kale salad and tomato bisque also good but nothing unique - taste like any other restaurant. Salmon is farm raised not wild caught ?!? This was during fall time when salmon is running wild up north MI !!!! Also waitress constantly trying to up-sale you items ?!? Unprofessional, very annoying and ruined the experience! Also chairs are uncomfortable for hours of dining.

Excellent overall. Food was interesting and delicious. Trout appetizer, oysters, and a trout entree, plus a pear and greens salad and a pork belly dish, all very good. Portions are on the smaller side, so plan accordingly. Lovely setting by the bay and live music at the adjacent bar added to the ambiance. Our server (lady - can't recall her name) was unfailingly smiling, warm, courteous, knowledgeable and professional - bravo! Artisan is expensive but worth it for the cuisine and experience. Bonus is EV charging in the hotel parking lot!

I recently dined alone at The Artisan, and while my experience had its highlights, there were a few aspects that left me disappointed. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a lady at the reception who failed to acknowledge my first name, cutting it. Nevertheless, I was led to a wonderful table in a pleasant location. I decided to try the chowder as an appetizer, followed by a seafood entree. The service, however, fell short of my expectations. Instead of having a consistent server throughout my meal, there were different servers attending to various aspects, which hindered the establishment of a personal connection and created an overall unsatisfactory atmosphere. To my dismay, the main entree I ordered was heavily seasoned with black pepper, which unfortunately overshadowed the flavors and didn't enhance the dish as I had hoped. In retrospect, I should have specified my preference for the dish to be served without black pepper. This aspect significantly affected my enjoyment of the meal. Based on my experience, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend The Artisan. If you do decide to dine there, I would suggest requesting your meal to be prepared without black pepper to avoid a similar disappointment.

"Timing is everything" The restaurant open on time. The charming hostess was at her station to greet us. Our table was set, and our dining experience escalated, food came out fast/hot and just the way it was ordered with a smarm of wait staff to deliver the meal very timely The Bloody Mary was great! and so was the Mimosa with Rechsteiner Prosecco. Loved the Eggs Benny with poached farm eggs & Pastrami. Their Alfresco dining layout gives you a choice to be bask in the glorious sun while you eat, or dine under a covering that protects you from the sun and the rain The fantastic view of the surroundings is better outside in full sun, it's closer to the water and the flower beds. Awesome to eat at Artisan, 100,000 thanks to Ned, Rashane, Brianna and the unseen but presence felt bartender & chefs who all had a hand in such a wonderful meal Also went to Artisan for dinner, one thing that's exciting and at the same time is somewhat frustrating about their menu is that one day you peruse their menu online ahead of your visit and when you get there the menu items have changed. Octopus one day, Scallops another and Venison on the other Started my meal with the Delamar-Garita cocktail, it was bold and tasty. Progressed to the Great Lakes Chowder, it was very chunky and delicious. My East Coast Oysters were flavorful, briny and sweet with the Strawberry Mignonette. The Scallops were delicious! the Venison was surprisingly tender, not at all gamey and it was savory. All enjoyed Alfresco with a splendid view of Grand Traverse Bay. My meal & my view were grand!

This should've been five star. Must have had a Slippy finger! This was a delightful experience. We highly recommend.

Great food! Loved the burger and fries. A little pricey but worth it for the view and quality of the food.

Was questioning coming because of the food reviews but wanted the water view. The view didn't disappoint. Beautiful. Love seeing boats. Worth going for the atmosphere. But the food... Wow it was the best. I had the salmon, cooked medium. Perfectly crispy on outside, tasted very fresh. The server recommend the cauliflower which was so good. Very unusual with raisins and pine nuts. My friends had the meat and cheese tray which had a variety of jellies, mustard cheese and meats. Was great as well. Oh the drinks. I had a margarita. Forgot the name but tasted a bit like it had some grapefruit. Was wonderful. I'm a huge fan of this place. Would not have found it without yelp. It was inside of a hotel.

Delicious food/vegetables, outstanding service , beautiful room, deck on the Bay. Alex the manager talked to each table/guests, Joanna knowledgeable about menu, attentive.

AMAZING!!! The food. The flavors. The staff. It was more than I expected and we will be back every time we are here! Our waiter, Giovanni, to the back server, Esme, the experience was wonderful. We will be back this week! I highly highly recommend. WOWSA!

My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner here. It was a beautiful evening and we sat outside and enjoyed the waterfront views. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu, he made some great recommendations for us. I had the salmon which was delicious. It had perfect crispy skin and was served over a yummy parsnip puree with asparagus and brocolini. I only wished there was more veggies on the plate. My husband had the hanger steak, cooked perfectly medium rare which was served with crispy fries. Everything was outstanding and we will definitely be back.

Fabulous restaurant! I came for my birthday dinner and it was exceptional from the food to the staff! The drinks were superb!

To say that we had a wonderful dining experience at Artisan in Delamar Traverse City is an understatement. For nearly a year, we have been looking forward to trying the new and highly-anticipated restaurant that was slated to open in what was formerly the Holiday Inn West Bay. On an occasion of drinks in late winter 2021, my husband and I were invited to preview the still-under-construction space where the general manager gave us details of the restaurant's layout and the features that would soon be completed. Finally, after several months of Artisan being open, we made a reservation to celebrate an early Valentine's Day, and I can say with certainty that the restaurant more than met our expectations. First, I want to say that a welcoming ambience and warm atmosphere is high on my list of must-haves in high-end dining--just below food quality and creativity. From the moment we passed beneath the glowing chandelier in the foyer, I could tell I would be in a place of true comfort while eating at Artisan. The overall design of the restaurant pulls you in while you enter, particularly the lighting and color choices. From the entryway, you can see a gorgeous bar, several varying styles of seating, and a beautiful fireplace with conversational couches. We were taken to the second dining room, one that during the day would feature a beautiful view of the bay. Though it is separated by a wall, from our table, we could see through the glass partition and into the bar, which made the space feel larger. In the summer, the restaurant also has outdoor patio seating and an open concept from that second, beautiful room. Beyond the service--which was superb in attentiveness and warmth--we enjoyed a truly delicious dinner. Our menu had a large section of Valentine's Day options with entrees that would satisfy any palate. I almost chose the gnocchi, but opted for the Scottish salmon from the regular menu while my husband chose the filet from the holiday features. After a shared Caesar salad and a helping of bread from Common Good bakery, our entrees arrived and we barely spoke a word until we'd cleaned our plates. One thing I appreciate and often don't mention in reviews is portion size. The dishes at Artisan are absolutely perfect in size. Nothing remained when I'd finished (quite ravenously) my delicious salmon, and yet, I was satiated. My husband gleefully ate his filet while I occasionally dipped my fork into his truffle sauce--because honestly, who could resist? And after two cocktails, the bread, and the salad, we had had one of the best dinners we've ever had in Traverse City. Being a resident and seeing new restaurants spring up across town opens the door for new dining experiences, and this one was one to remember. We can't wait to dine at Artisan again, encourage our friends to do the same, and even do a staycation at the hotel. Delamar has done an exceptional job redesigning the entire space to offer something that is updated without being cold and overly modern. The warmth radiating out of the hotel and restaurant would make anyone want to return, and we plan to do so soon!

Absolutely amazing experience. If the atmosphere & view doesn't knock you off your feet, the food and service will. Alex M made our anniversary dinner one to remember. 100% recommend and we'll be back soon!

Good service and great food on the water. Enjoyed a nice dinner with a sunset. Would definitely go back.

Very good food. Excellent service. Delightful locally sourced wine. The atmosphere was very comfortable on a cold winter evening. Had the restaurant week menu surf and turf, duck confit croquettes, hamachi crudo, seafood paella--- all dishes were fresh and really tasty. A great place to go in TC for a nice meal.

Stayed at the Delamar and was so happy this new restaurant was attached! We came during restaurant week so ordered off that menu. The bartender was great (we sat at the bar). Started off with the tempura squash, it wasn't great so the manager came over and offered us something different or a free dessert (obviously picked the free dessert). Second course was the strip steak. Presentation is beautiful, but the meat was very tough and fatty in areas. Desserts were sticky toffee pudding and cheesecake in a jar. Sticky toffee pudding tasted like a caramel cake, just needed a larger scoop of ice cream with it. The cheesecake in a jar was great. Not on the restaurant week menu, we also ordered the kale goddess salad. Really not good. The kale was super tough and the dressing was not good. They also did not put dried cherries in the salad. This needs to get revamped or just simply taken off the menu, I couldn't even eat it. Overall the place was loud and busy for a Saturday night. Would come back and order different things on the menu.

Excellent service and nice atmosphere. Ordered: Cheeseburger and french onion soup Quinoa, kale, pepita and radish salad And Whitefish "seafood roll." Sandwiches came with coleslaw and fries. Fries were good. French onion soup- not memorable, coleslaw- same. Salad was great. Bread and butter, yum. Whitefish roll- smoked whitefish- tasty.

Excellent food and excellent service. One of the few spots to eat with a view of the bay. I would like to see a few more choices on the menu. Price is on the higher end but with the view and quality it's ok.

If I could give this 10 stars, I would. We booked here on open table for a "mini moon" dinner. When we arrived, they asked the occasion and we told them we were newly married. We got our choice of seat and champagne and free dessert as a result! The view cannot be beat. We had the pasta and cod-flavors were incredible. After dinner and dessert, we went and got another drink at the outdoor bar. The atmosphere was electric and the bartenders were so fun and nice! It helped that paint grand traverse was kicking off-we got to see some amazing sunset painting going on. By far the best experience of our trip!

This place is inside a hotel, has beautiful views if you get to sit at one of the tables. But if you're a couple keep in mind they stuff tables in and you'll probably be rubbing elbows with someone not in your party. The food was good, the risotto was a little bit too salty but everything was cooked well. But having to smell the person next to me because of how close the tables were really ruined the experience for me. I was here for my birthday dinner, it would have been nice to have a better table, especially since the 2 tables next to us were empty. Overall an uncomfortable and disappointing experience.

This place deserves 5 stars just for its beauty alone. Everything feels fresh and gorgeous. We stopped for lunch and tried sandwiches (tons of flavor and textures), soup (fresh corn-great flavor but I like it less smooth!), and salads with steak (they were out of salmon). Everything was very well done and service was excellent. Looking forward to trying for dinner soon!

This place is absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is quite enchanting. I ordered the Green Goddess salad with the Wagyu Steak, and it was phenomenal! Perfectly cooked steak!! The service was also amazing and the staff is super friendly! Can't wait to come back.

To start - here are the positives: incredible ambiance, view and service (until the end - please read below). We were greeted by very friendly personnel and our server was attentive and kind. My wine was fantastic too. The oyster appetizer was ok - they had put their own spin on it - adding strawberry and an interesting sauce - but the sauce hardly had any flavor and they didn't put traditional accompaniments like cocktail sauce or mignonette- so that we could use those if we weren't fans of what they had put together. The crispy cauliflower appetizer was over-garnished and the sauce was very thick. The effect was that it wasn't crispy at all. For the meals - the halibut was pretty good. But then the "5 ounce wagyu" came out chopped into little Pieces with a cold and congealed sauce on the side with some kind of cider-sautéed cabbage. It was honestly inedible. To make matters worse - when we hadn't eaten much of our food a server (who hadn't worked with us) came up to us and said: "do you like the food? Because it seems like you didn't." we didn't really know what to say - because it made us so uncomfortable. He then said: "do you want me to just get your check?" So we said sure. We might have been interested in seeing if the dessert would be redeeming - but after that awkward interchange we just wanted to get out of there.

I chose the Artisan for dinner because I was a guest at the attached hotel. Being able to dine in the lake was definitely a part of the decision. Unfortunately, that was the best part of my experience. I ordered a glass of Riesling, the Caesar Salad and Michigan "Lobster" Roll. The salad was good. Some of the flavors were too much for me. Simple is some times better, in my opinion. The "lobster" roll was white fish on toasted, thick cut white bread. The lemon flavoring on the fish was almost overpowering everything else. The ambiance was great until the sun set. There was very little lightning on the patio. I had to use the flashlight on my phone in order to pay my check. I wanted to try dessert but didn't want to eat in the dark.

Incredibly gorgeous view! I made a reservation 3 days ahead and asked to be seated outside. We were seated quickly and in a wonderful spot. Our waiter was very gracious and polite. My whitefish clam chowder was good. Wagyu beef and pasta main courses were great and then there was dessert! A wonderful place if you are willing to spend the money.

A spectacularly beautiful property on the water. We ate outside in a beautiful space. You could tell the staff was new. They didn't know their By the Glass wine list much less the bottle side. Didn't know the difference between Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. We had to point at what we wanted. I had asparagus and the wagyu hanger steak. The asparagus prep didn't match the description and was very undercooked. The steak was cooked perfectly, but the shallot sauce was thick, sweet and grim. The greens had brown stems. My wife had the halibut. It came and was stone cold and glossy in the middle. Second try was better, but still way underdone. Maybe 110 degrees. I hope they can get their act together.

Food was great. I travelled with a party of five and we were asked to quiet down during our meal. If you plan to enjoy a dinner with your girlfriends or a larger group, seek dinner elsewhere. I had the wagyu steak medium rare and enjoyed this but was distracted by the fact that we felt unwelcome. Will not dine again. Many great places In traverse city that will serve you without concern.

So ... little town, Traverse City. How could it have a restaurant competitive with the best that the renowned gastronomic centers we all know? We'll, it does. We moved here several months ago from Portland, Oregon, which, despite the plague of homelessness and violence of antifa still has excellent, remarkably creative restaurants. Artisan is their equal or, astoundingly, better. We began with unusual cauliflower and asparagus dishes. Meat eater that I am, I gorged on a great cheeseburger afterwards. My wife had the halibut, a fish she usually avoids as it is cooked too dry, but was agreeably moist here. And the lake views!

Had dinner here tonight for the first time with another couple and we all live in Traverse City year round. First impression was great - the decor is stylish and modern and feels a bit more upscale than anything else in downtown TC. Service was exceptional - it's been challenging for everyone these past couple years but this crew is professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Top notch all the way - Giovanni is a great server. Food was creative but still approachable. Everything was perfectly prepared and a great value - Scottish salmon and Waygu hanger steak were perfect, the burger is quite possibly the best in town (for a temp burger...smash burger is a different convo.). Charcuterie plate included Smoking Goose Meats, which was a pleasant surprise! The cheesecake dessert was out of this world. We will definitely be back, loved everything about this place and I didn't even mention the gorgeous views of the bay. Best place in TC right now IMHO.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Would definitely go back and highly recommend Artisan.

Wife and I ordered white fish. Portion was so small that I went home to eat as I was starving after my $100 dinner. I was so disappointed, but it was a hotel restaurant, which has a captured hotel clientele. I have dined on 4 continents.

Fantastic dining experience! We were visiting for the weekend and chose this restaurant to Crittenden our anniversary based on information we found on-line. We were so pleased! Amazing, creative, seasonal cocktails...we had the rosy palmer! The scallop appetizer with strawberries was refreshing, and the scallops tasted like the sea. Delicious! We both chose the walleye special...what a treat! And our server recommended a perfect wine pairing. We sat outside with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. I recommend that you bring a jacket! The sunset was gorgeous. The staff was attentive and so pleasant... from managers to bus boys, they were each fantastic! We can't wait to come again.

Wife and I both had the Wagyu burger - delicious. Excellent service and, of course , a great view.

Good food..great wait staff and awesome views. Ethan our server was amazing and very accommodating with our two young boys!!

Great dining experience for our anniversary. Everything was delicious- the cheese/meat board appetizer, the hanger steak as our main choice, and to top it off, a cup of espresso and chocolate mousse for dessert. Loved it all! Victoria, our server, was very knowledgeable and attentive and gave good menu suggestions. Overall, a great place to celebrate a special occasion! Will be coming back!

When I made reservations for dinner I asked for a table with a view because we were celebrating our anniversary. When we arrived the hostess led us to our table while it wasn't one with a water view, it was lovely corner banquette on the bar side. We were enjoying our drinks when the manager came and swooped us up to the best seat in the house. We were treated impeccably, and the food was absolutely delicious! I had the trout and my husband had the salmon. The waitstaff was great beyond compare, and it was an evening we will not forget. Thank you, we will be back!!!!!
