Great service and nice looking place, but too pricey. I travel 4 days a week and eat in all kinds of places and this one is about %25 overpriced. The food is really nothing to write home about. read more

Wow. That's the first thing I would have to say. This restaurant is incredible in all ways. The ambience is trendy, relaxed, and classy. The manager and waiter were both super attentive and kind and were fantastic with their suggestions. I highly recommend the onion soup for the first course. It is incredible. I literally couldn't stop eating it and I didn't even order it. I ended up switching plates with my dad because I loved the soup so much. I ordered something very different for me for the second course and I ordered the lamb. It was honestly one of the best pieces of meat I have ever had. It was so tender and I could have kept eating it even though I was full. I don't remember the sauce that was on it but holy cow, I could have licked the plate (but that's not the classiest thing to do) haha. Oh, and the wine was amazing too. I could rave about this place all day. Highly highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed! read more

This is a great addition for the city of Elkhart! We had a salad that was awesome with a scallops appetizer. Our main courses of a steak and pork chop were absolutely incredible. I cannot wait to go back sometime soon. The filet is ridiculously good! Don't miss out on this place. So nice to have places that would fit in big cities in Elkhart and South Bend area! read more

Ate here last night. Our threesome loved every morsel. Appetizers, rolls, entrees and dessert were incredibly delicious. Very nice cocktail and wine menu as well. The very genuine hands on GM was charming and very helpful with menu selections. Well worth the short trip from South Bend. read more

Excellent food, service, and decor. Pricey for the portion size in my opinion, but one of my favorites in town.

We could not have enjoyed the food more. We are from NJ and often eat at some of the highest rated restaurants in Phila. I would stack Artisan up to the best food we have had there. The wine list was great and reasonably priced, the food had depth of flavor and unique preparations very satisfying, the staff was very accommodating and pleasant. Every restaurant needs a Brad, a restaurant manager who attends to every detail to make sure you are satisfied and have an enjoyable experience. Don't know when or if I will be back to South Bend but if I do it will include Artisan. read more

If you want a fine dining experience, this is the place. The service was impeccable and the food also first rate. My wife had the salmon and loved it. Because asparagus was on the menu with other selections, she asked for asparagus to be served with the salmon instead of what was offered on the menu. They were quite accommodating. In addition, the portion was generous. I had the filet with the asparagus. It was perfectly cooked and obviously quality meat. I wish I could remember the name of the Cabernet, but it was wonderful. You might think that a place like this might be a little stuffy but, quite the contrary, the staff is friendly and engaging. Although we sat in the main dining room, there are booths in the back by the bar. Both places offer the same great dining read more

Outstanding food and service - ask for Quinn! Perfectly seasoned and prepared filet - elegant renovation.

Excellent quality and flavor. Unusual gourmet food found in Elkhart. Small servings but so flavorful and rich you are satisfied. Larger servings of veggies please. read more

My husband and I had a great meal at artisan tonight! Everything was delicious. I had the bouillabaisse and my husband had the filet for our main course. The lobster, salmon, mussels, fennel, leeks and broth were sublime in the bouillabaisse! I made sure to drink every last bit of the broth before my bowl was taken away. We also had the oysters for an appetizer and coconut sorbet and kiwi ice cream for dessert! We were needing a perfect meal for our long awaited date night and artisan hit the spot! Our service was also impeccable, which makes the meal in my opinion. Tuesday was also half off a bottle of wine...we took advantage of this deal!! read more

For the finest in dining, do not hesitate to try Artisan. Every selection we have had in our three visits has been wonderful. Plenty of food, we didn't leave hungry. Top notch staff and service. Beautiful atmosphere. Pricing is right in line with the quality. A nice variety on the menu offers something for everyone. Off the menu specials are sometimes available. Tuesday is half off ANY bottle of wine. Other places have exclusions to their deals, but not here. The bar area is perfect for watching the chef in the kitchen, or if you are solo. Don't think about it, just go. You won't be disappointed. read more

Excellent food from start to finish, fantastic service, and a great atmosphere. Prices are comparable to LaSalle Grill or Cafe Navarre, but with better food and more interesting options for vegetarian diners. read more

This place is great! This place is classy and family owned. So support a family and eat at a fancy place!

From start to finish we had an amazing experience.The food was incredible !! We had the Bison which was so incredibly tender and the Filet melts in your mouth . Too end our amazing meal we had homemade ice cream that was so delicious!!! We can't wait to go back and bring our family.The staff was very attentive and very helpful. read more

This place is great. If you don't live in Elkhart, visit! Brad makes sure you are happy. The service of Erin and Joe was first class. The food is amazing! Eat at Artisan! Liz make a great cocktail. read more

Went here for my bachelorette dinner! Very delicious an amazing food! Great service, portions are perfect. Definitely would recommend it if you an your partner are looking for a classy cute place to have date night! read more

I had high expectations based on local buzz. Everything was excellent with one exception: the dessert. The two entrees - trout and duck were delicious. Wine, service, knowledge, excellent. The server didn't hesitate to find out answers to questions. But the dessert (apple tart) took excessively long to prepare and serve and was the toughest pastry. We had to request a knife to cut it. Pastry! I also was hopeful for more locally sourced and imaginative apples for a tart than the ubiquitous and ho-hum granny smith. From Washington State, no less. The other selections sounded ordinary: creme brûlée and the like, but were not tried. Still, I'll go back. Five stars will come if the same flair is applied to the desserts. Wouldn't we like to see this become a destination restaurant as well as a big occasion restaurant!? read more

Had dinner & drinks here last week with hubby and friends and it was fabulous! The place is intimate & beautiful and the service was great. Started w/ the scallops, hubby and I agreed probably the best we've ever had - sooo next time no sharing. They were perfectly seared and dressed w/ some yummy sauce and mushrooms on the side - ate it all! Had the lamb chops as my main dish - well-seasoned, tender, and scrumptious!! Then I finished w/ some apple cake thingy for dessert - meehh. I almost left a star off for it being so blah compared to everything else but the bread w/the housemade butter & 2 different salts and the 3 French 75 cocktails made up for it :) read more

Yelp does it again! Food and service superb. We had fresh salad with interesting greens and tasty vinegret. Tuna appetizer beautifly presented and delicious. My wife had white bass perfectly prepared and I had waghu, delicious tender beef medium rare...perfect. Very nice wine selection. Finished with crem brûlée. A delightful, albeit expensive, evening...about $150 plus tip. We will stop by next week when we return from our trip. We have stopped by Elkhart nearly every year or so over the past 30 years. This was a delightful surprise. read more

We dined here with friends this weekend. It is the first true "hot spot" I have experienced in Michiana. The food was amazing everyone LOVED their meals. We all did the tasting menu which was fun and filling and a nice way to try many items on the menu. The menu is more sophisticated then most in the area but I feel like there is something on it for everyone. The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere hip, the service excellent, the food fabulous! We will be back soon. read more

Simply Amazing!! We've been 3 times now and LOVED the atmosphere, food and service!! If I had to say one thing negative it would be that I wish the bar in back was a bit larger (since you can see the kitchen it's a great place to eat dinner as well)... but besides that we loved everything. Sooo happy to have a place like this in Elkhart! read more

I took my wife to Artisan for her birthday 1/16 at 5:30pm. The food was absolutely fabulous and my wife who is a corporate Interior Designer loved the decor & ambience. We live downtown Chicago so we are avid foodies. Aside from the fact that our server was "pleasantly" dismissive to my wife for some reason which we could have done without especially on her birthday, I would have given the place 5 stars. Artisan is a diamond in the rough. My wife and I love it. read more

Absolutely LOVE this restaurant. Service is top notch, great ambiance and you cannot find better food. Salads are fresh and crisp, steaks were prepared to perfection and the lamb chops are to die for. This is definitely a place to go for fine dining and celebrations. read more

Really lovely spot to celebrate our anniversary. A big-city quality fine dining meal in northern Indiana - an absolute delight and better than our other Michiana experiences. Top-notch ingredients, well-prepared. Thank you, Artisan! read more

My boyfriend and I came to eat for a Christmas present and the service was amazing! We somehow dined on a slow night and were the only ones in the dining area. Our waiter, Lee, was exceptional! The filet and bison were to die for. The chef also came to our table and explained his inspiration for our desert, which was AWESOME! We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to splurge and treat yo'self a little. read more

Had dinner there this evening. Great ambiance, fabulous service and wonderful food. Quite a gem in Elkhart--so glad to have found this restaurant--we will be back again. read more

In town for a ND game. This place lived up to the previous great reviews. Great service and the food was delicious. They make great cocktails too! read more

Took some friends there for their first experience...it was outstanding...Chef Ryan is a master of flavors. If you haven't gone yet...GO!!!

we tried artisan the other day, not impressed at all, the place is overrated, i wish the old flytraps was back. read more

The food was quite good. Very fresh and innovative. Unfortunately our experience was dampened by the fact that the tables are quite close together, making it difficult to carry on a conversation over the rather boisterous group next to us. By the dessert time, the owner of the establishment had joined the loud group and made a rather obnoxious comment as we left (I'm guessing he didn't realize I could hear him) read more

Great service and a well prepared meal will keep me coming back! Wine list is the best in the area....

Food is good, not great. Expensive. Decor is fair. Server was too familiar, tried to be clever. Will not go back.

Terrible, terrible host, and a bad drink. I tried to call and ask if reservations were needed, however the number didn't work. Whenwe arrived we were greeted by the hostess, I asked about the number online. She brushed me off and was unconcerned, said she was just back from break. We were sat at a nice table, and our server was very nice. After we were sat, other guests were asked for a coat check. We weren't asked to check our coats like everyone that came in. We didn't feel welcomed or wanted then. The cocktail I had ordered offered a weird aftertaste. Our server leveled with us and said she didn't like it either. Do you value your good staffed employees opinion? The food and the server was delightful. I'll say the pricing is a little far fetched from the atmosphere created. I'll not join them for dinner again. I would never recommend that you go there for dinner based on our experience. read more

The food was very good. The waiter extremely friendly and did an excellent job. Would definitely return for dinner in the future.

We were somewhat disappointed !!! #1 they did not have my favorite wine by the glass, although I can order it by the glass at their south bend (cafe navarre) restaurant , so I did not order any. Was not going to be forced to select from the ones they offered. There was not a lot of variety offered on their menu. For the prices they charged I would have like to see more on their menu. Very stuffy atmosphere, especially after we did not order ANY alcoholic beverage. We dine in Chicago quite often and this is still not even close to a Chicago dining experience. We may give this restaurant a second chance after they have been there awhile longer and have a chance to get all the problems worked out. Tom read more

A very nice upper end eatery with a delicious menu choices and a tremendous wine selection. Each entry prepared in excellent fashion and the service is outstanding. If you are looking for a very nice eatery to take someone special or dine in a great environment - try the Artisan! Oh, and the Bison is wonderful. read more
