- VVickivipTampa / Central Florida West •16 reviews5.0Dined todayWe are regular diners at Artisan and always enjoy our experience. Last night was truly outstanding. Service provided by Joanna was perfect. The beet salad, shrimp alla vodka, and duck breast were delicious and beautifully presented. The menu changes monthly and the chef is one of the most talented and creative in Traverse City. The atmosphere is lovely ( although I agree with other reviewers who have mentioned the too low chairs…I request a cushion) and we give Artisan our very highest recommendation.More infoArtisan - Traverse CityPrice: Expensive• American• Traverse City•4.6
