We had a lovely dining experience at Artisan, from the warm welcome to the thoughtful finishing touches. The hostess greeted us graciously and offered us a choice of seating. We selected a comfortable banquette, which provided the perfect setting for a relaxing evening. Our server, Avery, was exceptional—professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the evening. We began with delicious bread and cocktails, followed by a wonderful beet salad and Brussels sprouts, which my husband particularly enjoyed. For our entrées, my husband ordered the swordfish, which he loved, while I chose the cioppino. Although it was served in more of a sauce than a traditional broth, the flavors were excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dessert was especially memorable. We ordered the Apple, Bourbon, Brown Butter Tart and We were pleasantly surprised by a thoughtful “Happy Anniversary” message written in chocolate—a charming gesture that made our celebration feel even more special. Artisan offers a wonderful combination of delicious food, attentive service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. We highly recommend it for a date night or special occasion and look forward to returning!

Absolutely recommend this restaurant. The food was delicious and the waiters were very accommodating and kind. If you’re having hesitations in trying it because fine dining is not your taste. Take it from a food truck lover like me you want to try this place. I don’t remember the last time I wanted to lick a plate clean. The food was incredibly fresh and locally sourced and the blend of spices and textures was amazing! 10/10 would recommend!

From walking in the door until leaving, everything was great. Employees were more than helpful and at least 34 sat good by when we left. Food was prepared well and came to us hot. It was delicious and done to perfection. It was Mama Mia night and they were dressed according with Abba music playing. I was very impressed and if ever in the area we will be sure to eat here again. thank you Gloria Gero

I was nervous about eating here due to some poor reviews. However I am so glad we gave this place a chance! Food tasted great, it came out hot and it was a good portion. Our server Sunny made sure we had a nice anniversary dinner and experience. Prices were a bit steep but its to be expected in this economy. We will be back for sure at some point.

Outrageously wonderful! Kerry was an exceptional server and could not have made the experience better! The food was over the top; The rock shrimp fritters cooked to perfections my shrimp and avocado salad perfectly prepared and my friends pasta with chicken cooked just right. For a Wednesday it was very busy with the Bushnell and Theatreworks — and staff was really hopping! Kerry was over the top excellent and it was great having her out from behind the bar and once again Trumbull Kitchen knocked it out of the park!

We go to fork and fire about 4 times a month. Food, service and ambiance are always great. If I had one recommendation, it would be to bring back or add a vegetarian sandwich/burger or another vegetarian option.

The food was excellent. I got the shrimp and scallop risotto and although the portion looked small, it was just right. It had more salt than I typically eat, but I liked it. Our server was amazing - very attentive and she paid attention to small details to make our experience more enjoyable.

Excellent choice of restaurant for our party of 6 celebrating two bday. Excellent service, beautiful Space, delicious cocktails, apps & entrees. Loved the beets and pretzel for apps, scallops for entree. Our server was lovely. The music was playing a little loud and we had two people in our party in their 80s and it was a little hard for them to hear our conversation, so they turned it down a couple notches and it was perfect and we were so appreciative. It was a very good playlist for sure, just made it a little difficult for table conversation only because of their age. So definitely not complaining or saying it generally should be quieter, but it was a very nice accommodation.
