service was excellent. Ambiance warm and welcoming. Lemon tahini cauiflower was 6 stars. The only negative was the entree that was listed as "surf and turf " had a minimal amount of crabmeat sprinkled in with the rice. PBJ ice cream sandwich was a "party in my mouth"

We had an excellent meal at Artisan, one of the best meals we've eaten in TC. The ahi tuna appetizer matched the quality of recent meals in Hawaii, and the mac and cheese and duck with waffles were great. We can see why the soft cheesecake dessert is a menu staple. Keegan, our server, was exceptional, and has made us converts to Artisan. we look forward to coming back with friends.

The meal was good. Staff is very attentive. The prices are not great, ($8 for bread and butter) but overall, good time, and place for friends to gather.
