Artisan

This place is truly brilliant.

The chance to be able to enjoy a 3 course meal with wine for £35 per head including service in such an expenisive area of town cannot be ignored!

I eat regularly at 'The Square' which is some 200 yards from Artisan, I do love 'The Square' but it is 3 times the price for the same quality of food!

Go for lunch or dinner quick before they take the offer away!

This is a lovely restaurant. The setting is gorgeous and it's in a lovely part of town. The service was perfect - very friendly, but not overly so.

And the food? On the whole it was very nice. The foie gras was a little spoilt by burnt toast, which is a shame because the prune compote it came with was delicious. Our main courses were both delicious - dover sole and halibut, both a pleasure. Our deserts were both very good too. They also gave a few complimentary courses - gazpacho soup, mini raspberry desert and petit fours - all delicious and very welcome. The only downside was the price - it is expensive. We particularly didn't think the mains were worth £25 each - but I guess you are paying for the area... (and we snuck in on the last night of a 50% off the food offer, so we can't grumble)

Overall a delightful evening, and we came out feeling very satisfied and even a little affection for the restaurant!

Went here on a Saturday evening in February. Restaurant was largely empty so no real buzz but we were looking for a quiet evening anyway. Maitre'd was very friendly (maybe even too much for my style). Overall impression was they tried hard, even if they didn't get everything right (eg, they served my wife my starter and vice versa).

Didn't have my first choice wine but came up with a reasonable alternative from the same region.

Starters were decent - I had the Dutch eel with horseradish/beet and the scallops seemed good as well.

Had the lamb as main course - very tasty, appropriately cooked but a little on the small side. The black leg chicken was excellent.

For desert, the banana coffee torte didn't really work as a combination. The chocolate cake was absolutely fine.

Overall, we enjoyed the experience and thought it was reasonable value fro money (all in, our meal with some expensive wine, came to about £165).

I went to Artisan with my girlfriend for Valentines day and we had an excellent experience. The food was delicious and the service brilliant.

Amazing decor, beautifully presented food, the Rabbit with black pickled mouli and Pommery mousseline was my highlight... Very knowledgable staff and slick service - thoroughly enjoyed.

Just had lunch today at The Restaurant at the Westbury. The food was superb and very inspiring. The restaurant itself was stunning and equally matched by the service staff. Laurent and Candy were extremely helpfull.

We will be back
