"Over the years I have been to Artisan many times. The restaurant always seems to able to evolve so it never feels the same or old, or as expected. Last night was no exception. The wine list has evolved, the menu has new choices. I wouldn 't call it a value menu but the dinner we had was luxurious and yet fairly priced. But the most outstanding part of the evening was the service. All the staff was quick to help, but also understood our requests effortlessly. Even a broken glass on the floor at the next table was quickly dealt with and the Maitre 'D stood by to make sure no one stepped on any of the glass. I wish many of the other CT restaurants had service staffs that were as sharp. We both ordered steak but we had two different kinds, a nice menu touch. One was hanger steak w sauce, one was NY Strip. Our potatoes were delicious, We skipped dessert but had a whisky from the very nice list. A perfect winter evening."
