We had a wonderful pre-theater dinner on a Friday evening. The greeting from the host was sincere and the service team was excellent. We chose a glass of wine and a signature cocktail. The soups were very good, especially the butternut squash bisque. We had a chicken entree and the filet special, both delicious and well prepared. We never felt rushed, but were grateful to our server for being mindful that we had an event to go to afterwards and kept the service moving so that we had time for desserts and after dinner cappuccinos.

We needed something to eat and it was late, but they were still open. We had an amazing wagyu burger and the salmon was cooked to perfection. The clam chowder was memorable and would definitely get all of these again. The basket of breads was perfect for holding off the hunger while the food was being prepared. 5 stars all day long, we ate here twice that week.

I've been coming here for years for pre - Nutcracker dinner. The service has always been slow but the food was good. This year the food was barely edible and the service glacial. Big and expensive disappointment.

Eugene the server, was great and very hospitable. He asked if we were going to a show and what time it started to make sure we were served with enough time to spare. The food was delicious and we were seated at the window which was nice.

Service was great. Menu did not have a lot of variety. Food was good but not spectacular. I may go back again for the service but not for the food.

Thanksgiving day menu - food was poor and desserts were self serve and none left by. 8pm. All in all a very poor experience and not worth the money

Great date not spot located in the heart of Lake Charles downtown division. Great for comfort food with the portions. Never to disappoint. Staff is very knowledgeable. If you get stuck on any menu items. Management was very attentive and showed interest in your enjoyment.

The staff was very attentive from start to finish and they very kindly accommodated our early arrival for our reservation. The cocktails were terrible especially at $25 each. Perhaps the bartender was new and unfamiliar with the specialty cocktails on their menu.

One of our favorite spots! Our go to! We can always count on consistency with the outstanding food and service. This visit, Tucker was fantastic! His warm welcome, friendliness, and expertise to carry out a perfect evening were everything we needed.

Really nice time. Our waitress was so nice as was Emily at the door. We have been there before and always enjoy.

Nice setting.. service good. -mushroom flatbread had no flavor.we asked and were told crust would be thin and crispy.. It was not. It was soggy. Salad was just ok..description written on menu was much more interesting than the actual salad. Had a decaf latte.. just ok. Sticker shock. It was $9. Save your money. Whole meal was overpriced. Would not recommend.. unless you want to say that you ate at the Ritz!

Great choice for dinner before a show at the Citizens Opera house. Great food and service. Out in plenty of time to get to the show with time to spare.

My sister and I had a delicious pre-theater dinner at Artisan Bistro. The hostess was lovely when we arrived, and our server was incredibly thoughtful about when to check in. We shared a few dishes and everything was delicious. It was quiet and everything felt elegant - perfect for a rare chance to catch up.

Our server Kaylie was AMAZING!
