Best… just the best. So good, I almost don’t want to leave a positive review because I want to keep getting a seat.

Been there multiple times and always delicious!! Highly recommend the mussels. The sauce is absolutely amazing 💕

I’m a huge foodie and love trying new restaurants around the world, so I had high expectations for this meal. I started with the seafood bisque, not your grandma’s deviled eggs, the blue cheese salad, and the lamb meatloaf dinner. My date had the ranch salad and chicken Parmesan. To be honest, I wasn’t impressed at all. The food was bland, lacking seasoning, and I couldn’t even finish my meal. I ended up packing it all to go. My date felt the same way. The deviled eggs actually made me feel sick, and definitely weren’t anywhere near my grandma’s, which are always delicious. These had no seasoning or flavor at all.
The blue cheese dressing on the salad was surprisingly sweet, which was really strange and not something I’ve ever encountered with blue cheese before. Plus, there was only a very small amount of salad—maybe 3-4 forkfuls, which felt like a real letdown.
On the bright side, the seafood bisque was amazing—definitely the best I’ve ever had. I would give it five stars without a doubt. It was the only thing that saved this review from being a one-star experience! The owner did talk to us quite a bit, but unfortunately, it made my bisque cold by the time I could actually enjoy it.
As for the lamb meatloaf, it was served cold, and there were only two tiny medallions, barely enough to call a portion. It came with cold tzatziki sauce, a single potato sliced into four pieces, and three asparagus spears for $32—way overpriced in my opinion.
On the plus side, the staff and owner were very friendly and did a great job, which bumped this review to a 3 out of 5 stars. The restaurant itself is small with a great, intimate setting. If you're into that, it’s definitely a place to check out, but be sure to book in advance, as I believe there are only about 10 tables. To any potential customers I guess I would say try at your own risk lol. However I won’t be returning no offense. Thanks
My advice to the restaurant: please season your food better and offer more value for the price.

We stumbled across this place while doing errands in Saginaw, and were lucky enough to get a table. (Only 10 tables—reservations HIGHLY recommended) Wow. What a find. The best restaurant meal I’ve had in years, combined with outstanding service and a wonderfully funky atmosphere (check out the tin ceiling). I can’t wait to go back. Bravo to the owner and the staff for creating this gem.

What a find! Had the deviled eggs, eggplant parm, chicken parm, and the pork chop. They make their own wine - loved the Sangria. Everything was very good. Waitress was wonderful. Owner/Chef came around to check on every table. Easy street parking. Will definitely be back!

Exceptional service. Everyone from the staff and owner was politely and genuinely interested that the food and experience was great. Super recommend. God was delicious.
We had dinner on a Wednesday Charity night and had an amazing dinner at a great price for a good cause. We were so impressed with the wait staff and earlier in the night, Lonnie even accommodated us with a new reservation time even when it was clear they would have a busy night. 10/10

The only time I've ever been to Saginaw and I had the good fortune to happen on Artisan Urban Bistro. The brunch was excellent: unique presentations of traditional dishes. The owner and wait staff were a delight, familiar with real food! We enjoyed ourselves.
