Blessed are the cheesemakers indeed. Boasting more than 250 varieties from which to choose, Artisanal is veritable holy ground for cheese enthusiasts. With multiple fondues, charcuterie and fromage samplings for the whole table, and every wine available by the glass, Artisanal inspires decadent dining. Beyond the cheese - yes, it's difficult to get beyond the cheese, but try - Artisanal offers both classic and creative renditions of French bistro fare with onion soup, hanger steak frites (made with filet) and sautéed skate wing with a blood orange Grenobloise. Bouillabaisse and steak au poivre are among rotating daily specials. And all of this can be enjoyed in a chic art deco dining room reminiscent of a Parisian bistro. For dessert, there's chocolate fondue for two or the apple tart Tatin with a cheddar cheese crust. If you've overindulged, you can choose any number of selections from the "cheese cave" to take home. "Artisanal carries on the grand café tradition. Great acoustics muffle the roar of the crowd enjoying [chef/proprietor] Terrance Brennan's quality bistro fare-like fantastic warm gougères, flavorful steak frites, charcuterie and provençal fish soup."
