    We were celebrating our anniversary at Artisan., and it was a very special experience. The food was outstanding -- everything cooked to perfection. Our server, Georgia, was excellent -- attentive, personable, and always there at just the right moment. Artisan is one of those rare restaurants where the acoustics in the dining room are designed in such a way that adults can conduct a conversation in a normal tone of voice -- most welcome! West Hartford is filled with excellent restaurants, but Artisan is truly a cut above. We will be returning soon.

    There were 5 of us who were catching up during lunch at da capo. We had a variety of apps, meals, drinks and desserts which were all delicious. And the server did a great job…he was attentive without hovering over us since we were catching up so slow to order. Definitely recommend visiting da capo, a perfect place to gather!9

    We love going there. It seems every time we go they have new staff though not cooks or servers but the table servers. They could be a little more assertive.
