What Seasonaltripper doesn't like about The Artisan Cookhouse:
Heard a lot about this place and read the reviews beforehand so looked forward to trying it out.

Artisan restaurant offers a mixed experience with beautiful decor and friendly staff, yet some dishes fall short in taste and quality. While some customers receive exceptional service and enjoy delicious meals, others are left with small portions and slow service. Overall, Artisan is recommended for its good food and service but may not meet expectations for everyone. Whether you're there for a family Sunday lunch or a quick meal before catching a ferry, Artisan provides a pleasant dining experience with a variety of menu options to enjoy.
