    This is a very nice place for a date night or a special family dinner. The service was speedy and the waiter even gave me a takeaway pop without me asking, which I really appreciated since I usually only drink one glass of anything when I go out and often leave untouched drinks when servers bring more. We ordered burgers and they were cooked perfectly to medium rare, which is something many places never get right. Here they did and it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying the Main Street or the Elk burger.

    Cobb Salad. Very fresh with French dressing on the side instead of the vinagrette. 9/10

    Just happened to be walking past this place so we popped in for dinner. We didn't have a reservation but I am told you usually do because they get busy. I believe it because this place was great! We order the roasted brussel sprouts which were delicious. For our meals we got the cobb salad and a ribeye steak with sauteed mushrooms. Everything was just delicious. The steak just melted in my mouth. It is a little on the higher priced side but if you want a good steak, that's what you'll get. It was totally worth it. The service was great as well. Would definitely go back again.

    We were in Elkhart for the jazz festival and had dinner here 3 nights in a row. Two nights we had table service and one night was at the bar. Food and service was excellent even in the midst of all that hullabaloo. Seating was comfortable and volume was pleasant. Prices were reasonable. We look forward to dining there again when we return.

    Gluten free chicken zucchini noodles

    Called and were informed they could create numerous gluten free options for me, obviously we had to go in! We had reservations, arrived a bit early and were seated promptly Amber L was our server, she was attentive and seemed to genuinely care about providing professional service! I asked my usual 5642 gluten related questions and she kindly answered them all We had the shrimp cocktail-yum all 3 of us had the honey chili chicken (gluten free meant no sauce). It was delicious!! The saucy birds were enjoyed by the gluten eaters and the plain by me-very flavorful! For dessert the non-gf divers enjoyed creme brûlée and lava cake--they both smelled Devine and were thoroughly enjoyed. Prices were very reasonable, atmosphere was lively and the food was amazing!

    My husband and I enjoyed our anniversary celebration dinner this past Thursday at 523. It was our 1st time back since pre-COVID. It was a beautiful evening and we dined Al fresco on the patio. The service was perfect, never felt rushed. The chirping birds added a bit of fun to the atmosphere! Kudos to the chef in perfectly preparing my Mediterranean Lamb dish, although just a tad too lemony but not a deal breaker. And my husband enjoyed his "Bulldog" pork chop! The Classic Caesar salad was cold and crisp. Being a soup lover my husband enjoyed his Creamy Portabello soup. Everything was delicious!!!! We won't wait so long to return. Thank you to the entire staff in making our special day extra special.

    Ambiance: Artisan is a nice upscale restaurant in the heart of the historic downtown Elkhart. They…read morehave a large walk in wine cooler in the front of the restaurant by the entrance. The tables have clean linen and the staff are dressed accordingly to the vibe. Service: The staff here are wonderful! Our server was attentive and friendly. When they brought out our entrees, they had a staff carry an entree each! So we had about 8+ members serving our dishes to us. Pretty impressive! Food: The food was absolutely delicious! Each and every dish we had here was spectacular! My favorite from what I ordered was the steak chimichurri and the cauliflower. My husband ordered the duck and I had a bite. It was also fantastic! I don't think you can go wrong with ordering anything off the menu!

    I started with 1 *, I will up it to 2* for the service only- at least through the food delivery-…read moreWhite tablecloths and high expectations. Amuse bouchée- melon and goat cheese, were we in for a treat???!!! As reviews mentions the service is great, Isabella took great care of us, we were worried when she disappeared in the back with the "manager" never to be seen again, not there to close up our table, not there to offer us birthday wishes not there to finish dinner very odd. She asked how the food was, we told her is was overcooked. The manager was listening in - then she disappeared. The recommendation for wine was perfect and that's where the good ends. We ordered tuna on a wonton, which was tasteless lacking flavor, salt, zero umami! The oysters, East Coast were raw, so not hard to screw that one up. We doubled this order for 3 people. We ordered the duck breast - we were told that we could not have the skin crispy, and the duck medium rare as a chef would be unable to do that. So we decided crispy skin and medium cooked duck would be OK. What was served was two slices of duck-contributor yes, two slices. Did we pay for 1/3 of the duck breast? No, we were charged for the full duck breast - Shrink-a-nomics. We also ordered the 'pork ribeye', to temperature, or MR. What we were brought was a grilled-grey-pork loin no ribeye, no fat, no bone. This was served over what was supposed to be polenta. But it was lumpy and flavorless. The flavor profiles of both the duck and the pork were missing, the sauce the jois, everything was off. We had a special signed card to greet us for a birthday welcome- but no offer of dessert or a menu or anything- just a don't let the door hit you on the way out.
