You can always expect something new at Artisan Bistro, a casually elegant eatery that focuses on seasonal items and market availability. The chef always tries to use local and artisan goods, as well as organic ingredients for the highest quality in every dish.

While the restaurant looks little more than a regular house on the corner, visitors will understand the at-home feel once inside. Whether you're looking for lunch, dinner or brunch, you'll find all kinds of meals at Artisan Bistro.

Do things a little differently on Thursdays with the seasonal six-course tasting menu with the optional wine pairing. A sample menu might include dishes like foie gras and sweetbread ravioli, sared day boat scallops and pan-roasted New York steak as well as desserts like Valencia orange bread pudding.
