    Great food. A small seating area in the restaurant and more outside. The food is great. I had a pear and shrimp salad, which is fantastic. My wife had a specialty at the house, which was basically scrambled eggs with sour cream, nuts, and rhubarb jam. stuff inside. She loved it. I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s small and the chef is famous in the area. When it’s busy you should get a reservation.

    We visited the Mingei and made a reservation at Artifact for an early lunch at 11:30 on a Thursday. We were one of the first two tables seated but the restaurant filled to near capacity shortly thereafter! We ordered the Vietnamese meatballs, the Asian pear and beet salad, the samosas and the coconut tapioca to share between the two of us per our server’s recommendation and everything was excellent! She was quite busy but attentive when we were able to catch her. Will absolutely return, I’d like to try everything on the menu. :)
