This place is unbelievable the food is too for for the wait staff is polite and friendly our waitress had a smile on the whole time we were there... Which is awesome cause some wait staff is miserable... Drinks were perfect not too strong not to weak just right had a good buzz on the way home went right to bed... I will go back there every Saturday... Great atmosphere I love this place.. I'm gonna become a regular.. I'm not sure they will agree with that but it's gonna happen

We had dinner on Wednesday, March 13th. Josie was our waitress. She was very personable and attentive throughout the time we were there. Outstanding service. I will definitely request her the next time I dine at Artichokes. She even escorted my Mom out the door when we left.The food was absolutely delicious! Very fresh and large portions. You will definitely have leftovers. We shared a lobster tail between four of us and it was plenty. Dessert was delicious too. The cream filling was fresh and the puff pastry was cooked perfectly. Josie made a fresh pot of coffee to go with our dessert. It completed the whole meal.It was a lovely dinner and dining experience. Thank you to the chef and a special thanks to Josie. We look foward to our next visit.

Very nice place to dine. Food was delicious but service could have been better. Waitress seemed not interested and service could have been better. Would definitely give it a try we enjoyed

It was very crowded last night, but we had reservations. She brought us downstairs, but since the table was set for 3, I guess we couldn't sit there. She then offered us the bar. To me, when I make a reservation somewhere, it is for a table, not a bar seat where I have to turn sideways to talk to my husband. So, I said no and she brought us back upstairs. We got a table stuck in a corner with barely enough room to sit. Didn't take any photos because I couldn't really reach my phone and there wasn't space on the small table for it either. We started with the special appetizer of meatballs. Those were the best part of the meal! Very flavorful. I got the chicken broccoli ziti and there was just something off about the sauce that I just couldn't enjoy. The broccoli could have been cooked a little more and the chicken was way overcooked and hard to chew. I didn't eat much. My husband got the chicken parm and he said it was just okay; nothing to write home about. Our server was nice and attentive. Not sure we'll be back.

Food is delicious, drinks are amazing. It is very crammed in there. Pretty pricey. I think the service is great.

I ordered chicken Marsala. The chicken was dry and very hard to chew. The waitress acted cold and looked like she'd rather be anywhere else but there !! The Ambiance was nice. But I went for food, not the look of the place. I will never go back.

I ordered chicken Marsala. I had a hard time cutting through the chicken. No flavor at all. The service was ok, but the waitress wasn't friendly at all!!!! The Ambiance was very nice. I won't go there again. I've had much better chicken Marsala at Prince of pizza!!!!! And Sandy is full of it. Worst chicken Marsala I've ever had. Don't waste your money going there!!!! Sandy must be a relative of the restaurant.

Our food was good but it took a little over two hours to get it. Clearly understaffed and I know that is a sign of the times but it was super disappointing.
