This not a review for the restaurant but for the heated pool and cabana.I brought my son's family including 3 older grandkids. This is our second time here. We plan on making this an annual Christmas tradition. We had the best time! The pool water was 95° and felt so good! The cabana was nice and toasty warm with hot chocolate for my grandkids and all the fixings. We ordered some food. The chicken tenders were really good and the flatbread pizzas. It was amazing because we got to have a glass of wine while in the pool! It was such a nice evening and very relaxing and we will be back next Christmas!

We were greeted at the door and taken to our table. Giovanni took excellent care of us. The food was spectacular. Artisan is becoming our favorite restaurant. They never miss, and they always exceed expectations.

Had an amazing experience in the cozy cabana. It exceeded our expectations. We had so much fun swimming in the outdoor pool during a snow storm, while it was 10 degrees outside. The pool was so warm. The jumbo pretzel and the pizza was delicious. The drinks were so good too, especially the espresso martini. The service has all around been great. We will be coming back every year!

Every time we have been to Artisan has been better than the last time. The food is amazing and so creative. We make sure that everyone in the party picks a different appetizer and main course so we can all try everything! Highly recommend!!!

Artisan always is a fantastic experience. From the quality of the service to every bite of food, it is worth every penny. The steaks are delicious, the cocktails are balanced and well made then desserts are tasty without being too sweet. For any occasion I would recommend Artisan.

Drinks and appetizers were great! Be sure to ask about special drinks. It got busy and our entrees came slow. The food was excellent. Best filet I've had in a long time. Not inexpensive but a reasonable value.
