   Our waiter was one of the most unprofessional, rude members of a wait staff we had ever encountered--then we realized--the last bad experience we had in MA--he had been our waiter as well. (A restaurant in the North End!) Our appetite was already ruined by the waiter's condescending attitude, we then saw a mouse run across the dining room floor. That was it for us--we departed.

   Food was amazing. Service exceptional! I am allergic to onions and usually I can't get many dishes from the menu. I could get what I wanted and it was delicious.

   There are many things I like about Cafe Artscience. The service was impeccable, the food and drinks delicious, but the ambiance really undermined my overall experience. The space was lit too bright with white lights. Not sure if this is a scientific laboratory-like theme it is trying to pursue, but it is just not right for a restaurant. It took away the coziness and intimate feeling it could have created with dimmer, more subtle lighting. While food was great, I guessed I came in with a higher expectation for experimental culinary science, which was not apparent in any dishes.

   My husband and I came in to celebrate our anniversary and was looking forward to a unique experience. The moment we walked in we felt as if we were a bother and inconvenience to be there. Not one person greeted us as we stood at the bar and four employees were talking between themselves. When finally approached we were told the bar was rented for an event and couldn't be there. We informed them we has a reservation but no one was at the desk to assist with that. The shuffled us at a table dropped off menus and no one came back for quite someone time. no explication of the menu no concern at all about our experience. Long story short we were constantly reminded of the big party and how important they were, when they were ordering, what they were doing, because our experience had to be based on theirs and we felt very unwelcome and uncomfortable. . After spending $300 on dinner we were left feeling disappointed and quite turned off how we were treated.

   Attractive space, good service, food wasn't inspiring but it was good. The restaurant has it's place to visit but not a go to spot for me.

    It was great, my wife was super happy. Perfect place for a foodie. Exotic drinks and great tasting food. the bar was missing some basic alcohol options. The cost was high $300 range for a party of 2. The proportions ware bistro small ( i guess is expected ) ambiace great. I'll would go back to try new food crations. Thank you.
