Hear from our valued guests
We had a wonderful experience at Artisan’s this evening. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious - fresh, flavorful, and very reasonably priced. Juan truly made the night exceptional with his attentive, friendly, and professional service. We’ll definitely be back for the new cannoli dessert!
Great local spot! Delicious food, staff is very friendly. Nice spot with dark chic vibe, modern and clean. Food was very good, had the rice balls, chicken parm, and filet mignon. All was good, definitely will be back.
I am always delighted by the exceptional food served, which consistently exceeds expectations. The winning personality of the staff and more specifically our water, Juan, truly enhances the dining experience. It's this combination that ensures I will always return. Each visit is a pleasure, and I highly recommend the establishment.
Our first time eating at Artisans. My husband and I really enjoyed our meals. The calamari was amazing. Had the short rib ravioli and prime rib steak sandwich. Everything was amazing. Service was top notch. We will be back
Looking for a restaurant with a menu that would offer something for every member of my family. This was a perfect selection. My son was able to order a pizza while I was able to get a steak and my husband enjoyed his pork chops. The cocktail was amazing and dessert was off the charts. Our server was magnificent. I will be returning. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
My mind is blown, delicious food and drinks. Got the zucchini blossoms, grilled octopus, lobster ravioli, and a jalapeño margarita. Amazing!!! My son loved his food, said it’s the best in the area.
Shrimp & Gemili was an amazing dish. Tiramasu was perfect. Bloody Mary was decent. The wings are the BEST in Toms River. This will be our new goto place UPDATE: Been coming here for over a year now. Short Rib is amazing, the salmon is perfect and the wings are still the best in TR. The service is always top notch, Juan took care of us today and he was very attentive, kind and helpful! Another update: Chicken Parm & Chicken Marsala was phenomenal. Their Blood Orange IPA is such a solid choice.
We went to the Thanksgiving buffet. We had a party of 8. The food was excellent. Turkey was juicy, butternut squash was delicious as were the brussel sprouts. The mashed potatoes were so tasty (homemade!) and everyone loved the sweet potatoes. The homemade gravy was great. The assortment of desserts we excellent also. There was nothing that anyone didn't like. The staff is great also. Everyone was polite and friendly. Our server Zoe was so sweet and attentive. It was a really nice holiday experience and the women loved having the day off. We can't say enough great things. If you were thinking of going and you didn't, you missed out!
We hosted my mom's 70th Birthday here and had a wonderful experience. The back room was perfect for our party of ~50, and the staff went out of their way to make the evening feel special. Everything was smooth from start to finish, Christy helped ensure every detail was taken care of ahead of time and Laura & her team we're so helpful during setup and throughout the event. It was the perfect place to celebrate. Highly recommend for private events!
Best restaurant in Tom’s River hands down. Sean created an experience for us that we won’t forget. The table was perfect, nice and quiet in the dining room away from the lounge area where music is a little louder and tv screens show the daily sports events. The food was incredible, we had the Sesame Tuna, Garlic Shrimp, Split Pea Soup and the Chef’s soup special homemade New England clam chowder. Not a drop or bite left on anything in that first course. For dinner we had the chicken Marsala but without the pasta and some broccoli instead (doctors orders) and the lamb shank special. Words can’t describe how good the lamb shank was, I wanted to chew on the bone it was so good. Sangria is a family recipe and was delicious, and the bartender made a great espresso martini. I paired the lamb shank with a nice red from Chile, and had the Tres Leches for dessert. If you’re in town temporarily visiting the shore area, or reside nearby, you absolutely have to visit this restaurant. Staff is very friendly, and the quality of the food just can’t be beat by the cookie cutter corporate restaurants that surround the ocean county mall.
