Beautiful restaurant with great atmosphere. The food was spectacular. Perfect place for date night if you like trying new things. We fell in love with their cheesecake. That will live rent free in my mind until we come and visit Traverse City again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Artisan at Delamar – Traverse City, MI After a 12-hour travel day from Las Vegas, we couldn't have picked a better place to unwind than Artisan at Delamar. From the moment we walked in, our server Rick made us feel genuinely welcome. His warm personality, attentiveness, and effortless hospitality completely changed the tone of our evening. Exceptional service like his is what turns a great meal into a memorable experience. The menu highlights locally inspired, seasonal ingredients, and we were impressed from start to finish. We started with the Artisan Focaccia, served with caramelized onion and green and black garlic butter. It arrived warm with an incredibly soft interior and crisp crustβ€”the perfect way to begin the meal. The Rigatoni alla Vodka was outstanding. The pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente texture, and the Calabrian chili tomato cream had just the right balance of richness and subtle heat. Finished with aged Parmesan and fresh basil, it was comforting while still feeling refined. For our entrΓ©e, the 8 oz Filet Mignon was beautifully cooked and incredibly tender. What surprised us just as much was the accompanying potato pavΓ©, which elevated the entire dis

A lovely high-end restaurant on the bay. Excellent attentive service. The server patiently walked us through the menu. Excellent salad to start. The wine by the glass selection was impressive. The entrees were delicious. So good. Fresh ingredients. Plated beautifully. The fluffy cheesecake for dessert was divine.

What a perfect stop for dinner! Food was amazing, you can taste the dedication of the chefs and the presentation was great. When they bring dishes out they fully explain everything and all the ingredients tasted super fresh. While I only had mocktails they were super fun and really yummy! James at the bar was amazing, super friendly and made you feel right at home. Will be adding this to my route when I’m in town for work! I got the whipped ricota toast and duck. The duck literally melted in your mouth, it was phenomenal.

We love coming to TC and finding great new restaurants, and this one did not disappoint. Went to Artisan for the first time to celebrate our 12th anniversary, and loved everything about this place. Melissa was our server, and she and the other staff were wonderful. We got a lovely table right next to the fireplace and a card thanking us for celebrating with them. Melissa even comped our dessert! The food may have been the best I’ve had in all my years coming here. Would highly recommend and will definitely go back.
