- LLinBaltimore / Maryland •2 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 16, 2024Artisans was not too busy on the weeknight we ate there, and that may have helped the level of service—excellent, and the nice quiet atmosphere. The food preparation and taste combinations are simply artistry on a plate. Unusual and yet delicious! Only thing that still needs to be fixed are the uncomfortable chairs, for smaller people, but at least they offer cushions now to help. A really special meal!More infoArtisan - Traverse CityPrice: Expensive• American• Traverse City•4.6
