What a great dining experience. Me and the family went out for a nice family dinner and we were delightfully surprised with the great drinks, lovely menu, and the nice atmosphere. The food options were reasonably priced and the appetizers were delicious. We dined for about 2 hours and made our way through 2 drinks, appetizers, and a main course.

My fiancee threw me a surprise 40th birthday dinner here and it was one of the best dinners I’ve had. They sat us in a private room for a table of 15 which was great in itself and the service was amazing. Food and drinks came out in a good timely manner and everything was delicious. I really appreciate the accommodations and the service they gave our party. I highly recommend anybody having a celebration or just for a nice night out to have dinner here. We’ll definitely be back again

Overall, a very good experience! The bread is made in the house and very tasty but I’d like to see it served warm. The beet salad was OK, but to me it could use a little pop, like balsamic vinegar or blue cheese; it was too bland to enjoy. But the shrimp and grits and pasta were excellent and the sautéed and oven-baked mushrooms were possibly the best I’ve ever had in my life; seasoned to perfection! I’d definitely go back for more!

I was excited to try this place, but I was very disappointed! The food and service were subpar.

Why would you need (or choose) to have a 3% surcharge for the back of the house to maintain a sustainable wage? JUST PAY YOUR STAFF A LIVING WAGE!!!!!!! I mean, it would be better just to charge a little more for food and/or drinks if needed. But putting a little blurb in fine-print about how unless the customer pays 3% more, the staff in the back doesn’t make a ‘sustainable’ wage… that’s disgusting.

We’ve visited Artichoke Cafe for date night twice now. Once for our anniversary and once for a late Valentine’s Day celebration.

Ambiance and service were fantastic. They have a delicious wine selection and the wild mushroom ragout was heaven. I’ll be back for sure.

We got there on time, table was ready. The host was helpful and friendly. Our server Amanda, was amazing, next time we come back we’d love to have her take care of us. The food was extraordinary. It was our anniversary and we loved it there so much. Our first time going and definitely not gonna be the last. Their menu is amazing.

My friends and I went to Artichoke Cafe for dinner. We did not make the reservation because we were a small group of 3 people. We were seated right away at the bar section of the restaurant, which I didn’t see it before. It was perfect little booth (hint for those who want to take your date to). For some reasons, this section felt warm so we took off our jackets.
