I was on a road trip up from Florida to Wisconsin with a friend. We were going through Springfield, Illinois, so we could visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum & Library. So that's how I ended up in this neck of the woods. Needed a spot for dinner and this popped up as an option and sure glad it did. My friend & I both opted for the Fried Chicken dinner and this place makes the best fried chicken I've had in decades! OMGOSH! The meat was fully cooked, but still so incredibly juicy. The crispy skin and coating was unreal, it was so good - it was truly "finger-lick in' good". While I'm borrowing that old slogan, The Ariston Cafe's fried chicken is like the fried chicken ideal of perfection. They have a classic salad bar and that hit the spot, especially on a road trip where you're not often getting enough veggies. I'm writing this review some weeks later after getting back home. If the place had been average, I wouldn't bother, but when a reminder to do a review popped up, I had to do this as the waitresses and cooks deserve it, as do the owners & all the staff. Waitresses were all nice as could be and helpful. It's like walking back in time when you go inside, and it reminded me of great restaurants in the area I grew up in. If I make it back up that way again, I'll plan my travels to include another stop in at The Artisan.

Pretty views and scenery of boats, waters and trees. Staff were friendly. Plenty of seating , two levels. Menu has appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, entrees and desserts. Drink menu is plentiful. Prices varies. I ordered fried pickles and peel and eat shrimp. Both items were underwhelming. Fried pickles were fried too hard, and bland. Shrimp had a soggy kind of taste and bland as well. Slow process as well on food delivery. I ordered for drink a Miami Vice, this is a frozen strawberry daiquiri and pina colada mixed. It was good .
