    Awesome lunch. Lamb stew, corn beef sandwich, corn beef, cabbage carrots and potato platter and an incredible Irish soda bread. Also brunch on Sunday. You have to get here and try this.

    Very inclusive menu with a variety of options to include a friendly gluten-free menu. These gluten-free offerings are also very delicious and thought out compared to some places that just attempt to have a few options for accommodating. Have come here many times, most recently had various dishes to include: scallops, tuna and a very decadent and rich flourless chocolate cake. Very comfortable and inviting environment with a menu of varying complimenting cuisine options.

    Rating is solely on food. Our server, and generally the whole staff were very attentive and pleasant. First off the hazy ipa had fantastic body, the right thickness, and was sufficiently juicy. The brewer has their technique down but the flavor still seems lack luster. It wasn't a bad beer but nothing I would hurry to order again. Food wise our appetizer was pretty good but the mains were bland. Again nothing about the food was bad, it was fresh, prepared to taste, and served on time, but it was like it was seasoned for my grandma who thinks sweet Italian sausage is too spicy.

    I just had a very disappointing diner at Artisans in Tom's River... I went there with my company a year ago and it was great... Last night, is it was a 2 on a scale of one to ten. Take into consideration that it was $80 for two people. The service was lack luster, (very impersonal and didn't know anything about his job) and would ghost us for long periods of time, didn't set silverware, we had to steal it from other tables, and brought the food out without correcting the situation ... but I have empathy so I rolled with it. The food was almost tasteless... The bland taste of the food was beyond depressing, as their food used to be really good. It might be that I don't drink alcohol, and my decisions aren't compromised, but I'm pretty sure it was low grade/quality ingredients... And a general lack of cooking skills. I mean, they really should hire a chef... I get it covid....blah, blah blah.... That aside. Two thumbs down, I won't be going there again anytime too soon if I can help it. The only plus of the evening was that we didn't get food poisoning 😒

    Very comfortable dining experience. Party of 12 easily accommodated, semi private area of restaurant. Food & service on par as well. Server Evan was attentive & ensured everyone had everything they needed/wanted. Bar staff extremely friendly as well. Will definitely be returning.

    We LOVE Artisans! We have been going for years now and they consistently provide excellent food, service and it is always clean. The owner takes pride in the restaurant and you can tell the minute you walk in. I love every menu and the specials they have and there is food for every palate that range from a simple meal to fancier dishes. The chef and kitchen implement and execute these dishes to perfection. The staff are the friendliest we’ve encountered and genuinely care PLUS they are knowledgeable of the menus. You can celebrate almost any event there. Their wine list and specials are never disappointing. Honestly I have to say there isn’t anything negative to review here. They know what they are doing! I wish I had more pics of our last dining experience there but only got one of mine. This is one of my favorites! The salmon with baby lentils, rainbow carrots and zucchini.

    Nice place, with decent prices. Pizza was crisp and filling. Too bad I had too much of their delicious bread and couldn’t finish it. This place is a nice place to enjoy a quiet dinner with a glass of beer or wine

    First trip. Amazing !!!! Bread was amazing and my steak was tops !!!! Even with the new normal they didnt miss a beat. Easy to recommended and I will be back. A lot.

    One and done. Mediocre food and not worth the price. Very noisy if you have hearing aids do not go. My gnocchi Bolognese came out cold and very bland. My husband's chicken that was a special was the disgrace for the $25 price. Service was okay dessert was good. That was a chocolate brownie with ice cream. Linda

    Mediocre food. Handled a large group well. Service was good in general. Edit per owners' request: I had the vegan ravioli and it was tasteless. The burgers and pizza looked good. My review methodology is three-fold: How is the food, service, and atmosphere? The food was bland. The service was excellent and we were able to be accommodated on very short notice. So kudos to that. Had I been looking for a place to get a beer and snack while watching a game, I'd go back to Artisan's. I would have given 2.5 stars, but that is impossible on Google.

    Very nice place with strong drinks and great food. Had the spaghetti and meatballs, the pasta was perfectly al dente and the meatballs were soft and moist. Paired with a great tasting sauce, it is the only red sauce dish I will ever order again at a restaurant!

    Passed this restaurant for 12 years..finally tried it..very pleased. I had a delicious meatloaf melt sandwich..my friend had an Angus beef burger. Our salads were wonderful. The atmosphere and service were great. I will definitely return.

    My wife and I have eaten at some of the finest Michelin Star restaurants in France, Spain, Chicago, and many others. So we don't express our opinion of this restaurants cuisine lightly when we say that there are clear signs of a Michelin star chef waiting to be recognized for several of the items we consumed. The calamari..oh my. The same for several of the sauces accompanying the appetizers. The new york strip steak was succulent. The Tirimisu was amazing..bravo on the technique. The service was polite, attentive and respectful. Not pushy, just helpful when needed. May Michelin find you soon.

    Held my parent's 50th anniversary dinner here. Had a great time. The room was perfect, the service was great and my guests really liked the food. Thanks to Christy for helping us book the event and thanks to Laura for great service! Looking forward to going back.

    The staff was amazing. We threw a surprise party in the back room and everything went perfectly. Great restaurant!

  • 2/5 Bobby M. 1 year ago on Google
    $54 for one of the worse cuts of steak I’ve ever seen. I understand market price sure but at least make it a good steak and not 6 of the 12oz be fat then slap a pound of butter on top. The bread was good though so you’ll earn 1 star for that. Never again

    Great service, Flavorful penne vodka, Good fried calamari, & yummy flatbread. Was a nice quiet meal.

    Our party of four, were at Artisans celebrating a birthday lunch. We had a great time, the food was good as usual! Our birthday guy was surprised by our waitress... she brought out our apple pie dessert with a candle while singing Happy Birthday! The whole room joined in and was singing Happy Birthday! Another, memorial meal at Artisans!

    Fantastic as always! This has been the number one choice for date night with my husband since we first got together 8 years ago. Tonight we had a family dinner to celebrate our marriage. Our server Melissa was amazing and handled our 13 top like it was nothing. Even when 11 out of the 13 people there had never been to artisans before. We appreciate this place so much. The prices are reasonable and the portion sizes are massive. We all left beyond full and happy. Thank you artisans for making this special night perfect! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is considering it, the food is always amazing, their house brewed beers are always incredible and the service is always top notch. We've come back to this place time and time again and we will be back again! Thank you artisans! From Mr. & Mrs Vuocolo

    The service here is absolutely fantastic! One of the hostesses Miranda was an absolute sweetheart! I went there a few days ago to pick up a to go order and she made the place feel so warm and welcoming. She's so nice and funny! Highly recommend

    The martinis at Artisans are amazing. And the bartender Thomas and Brandon are very experienced. They make them just the way you want them. I eat at the bar if you’re comfortable with that. It’s a very lively crowd, and the bartenders are very attentive. it is Oktoberfest now, I had the wurst platter. Everything was delicious.

    My family went there for my son’s birthday. The waiter was the nicest, sweetest young man. The food was really good. I had the Mac and Cheese. It was very good. The music was great and the atmosphere was relaxing. This was my first time there, and I will definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Jane S. 8 months ago on Google
    Comfortable restaurant, very good food and beverage specials and selections. Had dinner there a week ago and our server was very nice. Today my sister and I had lunch there and you actually get to pick a side without an up charge. Our waiter Ethan was a nice young man and extremely friendly beyond most servers. He had a wonderful personality and even offered suggestions. I will be making this restaurant one of my go to places.

    We're seated by a very drafty window. Took rhe waitress 15 minutes to come by us to ask for our drink order. Told waitress about the draft & she shrugged her shoulders. Ordered soups & recieved the wrong soup order. Then we recieved our entree & the waitress comes over to make sure we recieved our soups...ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? This waitress was either new or just horrible at her job. Dinner was expensive and not worth it...we both ordered fish and they were both dry!! This is not a repeat!!

    Food was amazing. Mojitos not so much. Service is never great. But, the food brings us back.

  • 1/5 Summer B. 3 years ago on Google
    I live locally and have been wanting to try this place for a long time. I went on Saturday which is 1/2 price for a glass of wine. I completely understand that they are short staffed due to covid-19, but our server took our order and never returned until we paid. My friend and I got the exact same order and both got sick from the food, not sure if it was the wine or the entree but was not impressed.

  • 5/5 Tony K. 3 years ago on Google
    A fantastic meal. Working hard for their customers. Will definitely be back there again.

  • 4/5 Dan R. 3 years ago on Google
    Did their outdoor dining during COVID last weekend. The food was as good as usual, just like the regular dining in. Staff was masked up and we observed them doing a thorough job of sanitizing between guests, which is appreciated. Not as many of their own brews on tap as usual but enjoyed the pilsner and IPA.

    The food was great, we had the sesame tuna appetizer which was very delicious and for dinner I had cesar salad which was also amazing. The place was very nice and our server was very kind and helpful. Definitely recommend this place!

    Wings as dry as week old bread, I do not recommend eat wings for take out

  • 5/5 Konrad P. 3 years ago on Google
    TLDR Thomas was an awesome server. Appetizers: brussel sprouts and honey jumbo wings. Let men start by saying that Thomas was our server and he was phenomenal. Brought everything out on time and didn't miss anything. We had a group of 5 and everyone loved everything. The brusel sprouts is a great appetizers and would recommend it to anyone. We had vegetarians in our group and they made it bacon free without a problem. The wings were really good. The Buffalo ones were perfectly fried although they were missing a little bit of Buffalo sauce. The blue cheese was one of the better ones as well. Now the jumbo honey wings are one of the best appetizers ever. They are not too sweet, big, and chicken is really good without any fat parts (wings enthusiasts will understand & appreciate). Wish I took pictures.

    The service here is solid real good ask for Eddie. This establishment has to be one of better quality ones in this area. Bring a stack of cash. Food was good makes me long for the old time Italian places in Staten Island.

  • 5/5 Eric K. 3 years ago on Google
    It was a nice outside dining area but it started to rain lightly and the umbrellas were just a bit to small. The food was excellent. Would recommend to everyone in the mood for a good meal. A little on the pricey side. 2 people just food soda and water. $102 including the tip.

    Beers and Beers... Flight worthy! Tuna app was interesting, good, just not my thing. Side salad was a real serving of salad, great house dressing. For Grilled Cheese, American & Mozzarella, with tomato and sautéd onions, this was a 9.2! Loved it! Sweet Potato Fries, yummy and crispy! Staff is a 10!
