My fillet Mignon was done perfectly "Pittsburg" with delicious sides. Wife had shrimp a nd papardelli that she says was excellent. Specialty Martini was disappointing; small and watery. Pricey but overall very good. Oh yeah skip the gnocchi appetizer read more

The fact we were greeted by waitstaff annoyed because we were a little late was not acceptable. My granddaughter made her first holy communion. The ceremony went a little over an hour. The service was not good. We waited too long for a drink order. The money paid for this small communion party was expensive. The manager was not attentive after contacting her with our issues. I don't recommend this establishment. Go elsewhere. read more

I've driven by this place a few times, but never had a chance to stop. I'm glad I made the time to do so today. I went for lunch and it was very good. I started with the Garlic Shrimp, yum. I also had the cheese burger with onion rings, I didn't snap a picture but wish I did. It looked amazing and tasted as good as it looked! Definitely a restaurant to add to your must try list. You will be glad you did! read more

Hi Christy H. My review was absolutely not only inaccurate but spot on! Your food in fact was wrapped by your servers without us telling them to. There was massive amounts left cause it was that bad! The chicken tasted under whelming. And to be honest numerous guests have told us they felt sick the next day so 100% not inaccurate at all! You can spin your novel reviews all you want but I mean why dont you put more time into your facility and actually tending to your guests requests or you can continue to be a keyboard warrior and not see the truth how poorly its run! You have the nerve to try to write novels on reviews to justify things. Sorry to say you are false and you can say you reviewed you films all you want! Again how come there was no manager or event cordinator to greet us that night and go over ANYTHING! Your servers never once approached myself to even see who was hosting the event. And if you want to make claims about kids and behavior why dont you fact check first and see if some may have a diagnosis of their own. Ohh wait yet again if there was such an issue on your part how come it was never addressed at the time? Cause as I recall I asked at one point and your staff mentioned they are kids and it was fine to close the doors. So spin it how youd like, obviously your establishment is not for families you dont have a family friendly atmosphere or even a friendly atomsphere at all. So good luck keyboard warrior and type another novel as I can do the same. Justify the poorly run event however you want. We were the paying customers and so far all your responses try to make the paying customer look bad. read more

I came back here because the food was delicious Came with bread, salad. Now everything is separate , bread $, salad $ Covid.19 is one thing Charging for bread that normally comes with Italian food is a rip off! Yes going out to eat you pay. My chicken parm was one piece of chicken and it must of been breaded but it was saturated with sauce. Easy to eat, but there's consistency to the chicken, too soft . Oh I asked if they can raise the heat temperature, said no its controlled. Felt like 55, 60. People had covered there arms and shoulders. Plus 3.00 % for use of credit cards. Everyone wants to earn 110% Well. that's another place of my list to recommend. Life goes on. Sorry if I piss anyone off. read more

Little gem in by the side of the road. Lots of parking, great food, gluten free options and a bar. They make their own beer as well and it's pretty good. Usually I can't have beer (gluten) but I tried a little and it was great. Other reasons to come here - the restaurant is very specious, clean and has a nice vibe. The food was great - 5 stars on taste and presentation. The prices were average, which is ok. Service was a bit slow but everyone was nice so I can't complain. It is located next to a natural reserve so its a good spot to visit after a hike or for a even for business meeting (based on the vibe). The place is out of my way, but I may come back to host an event or if I am in the area. read more

Our server was very nice and efficient. Everything that we ate was delicious .... Would definitely recommend

We were the only table in the restaurant. Service was nonexistent. Our server, Destinee, barely acknowledged us. Our bourbon was served with something floating in it, and she was nowhere to be found, so we had to flag down another server just to get a clean one. I ordered a mojito with my meal that took forever to come out. When it did, it had no mint, just lime. Again, no server in sight to fix it. Destinee didn't check on us once the entire time. When we were done, we had to approach her just to ask for the check, and she still took her time bringing it. Then she vanished again, and we had to flag down a different server just to pay. Completely inattentive, and careless service. I can't imagine what it's like on a busy night. Drinks and service aside, food was amazing. read more

Very nice ambiance on the restaurant part, rooms are nicely decorated and spacious. The food menu could be a little more extended but was good enough for a quick bite. We had some classic burgers that were pretty good. Wine bottle list was pretty good but the options by glass were limited. Service was pretty good and fast. Dessert options were pretty good too read more

Bartender had no idea what the Happy Hour drink specials were or the prices. We looked them up online for them. We both ordered martinis and the glasses were very far from full. When a second bartender came in, they chatted with each other more than waited on customers. We were not the only people to notice, we heard other people making comments about it also. But they were both very nice, just uninspired. However the hummus platter was very good. read more

We tried this place last year and weren't impressed. I decided to give it a second try and I'm glad I did. The spicy meatballs were fantastic. The Greek salad was all iceberg lettuce and had a ton of dressing on it which was great, but it started tasting sour the more I ate it so I didn't finish it. Nothing against the dressing, that was just my personal taste buds. Highly recommend the meatballs and their cocktails. read more

nice atmosphere sat at a really nice table I have celiac disease I ordered from the gluten free menu which said there would be no glaze on the steak and the potatoes would be substituted with roasted when I got my plate of food nothing was different. I asked the waiter if it was gluten free item with that he grabbed the plate and went back to the kitchen and came back and said the chef said there was no flour. So I trusted and the next morning I was so sick! restaurants should educate the chefs about food allergies....... read more

Underwhelming is the word that comes to mind for our dining experience at Artisans. Drawn in by google photos we stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner. We arrived around 3pm to only have lunch options on our menu. Disappointed we asked for dinner menu only to be told lunch was all they were serving at the moment. We opted for a pizza, split a sandwich and Bavarian pretzel. The pretzel was more of a large Philly pretzel rather than the soft pillowy Bavarian pretzels I'm used to and overcooked and dry. The chicken sandwich was "eh" and the pizza was just okay. Service was slow despite the empty dining area. Unlikely to return and wouldn't recommend. The place was clean though even though remodeling was going on. read more

Went there for lunch.1pm seated in the dining room area. Waiter promptly came over and took our drink water, at least ten minutes to get four soft drinks. He dining room was not crowded at all. The main thing then took our food order.And we did not see our 4 burgers til 25 min later. At no time, did he come back and ask if he wanted a refill. Food finally came out and it was good, even though I ordered my burger medium, it was very rare, but I had no problem eating it. Never saw our way to again until it was time for the check. Two of us sat there with empty glasses from half way through our meal. The atmosphere was very nice.Hopefully it was a bad day because I would like to go back again but not wait twenty five minutes for a burger. read more

We were in town visiting relatives and made reservations here for dinner. It was lovely. Gwen our waitress was personable and helpful. The cocktails were delicious and half- price because it was Monday. Pierogis and burrata for appetizers were both delicious. All six of us enjoyed our meals. We will return. read more

Third trip to Artisans! Third time they up charged me at the bar!!!3 drinks equated to 4. Third time, just sayin!

Left a review almost 2 months ago and never got a response from ownership. Will never return.

Excellent Resturant went there today. Made a reservation for eight of us due to mother-in-law passing away. Just wanted a nice small family gathering. They put us off away from everyone our waitress. Destinee was attentive knew her menu excellent service. She had other tables as well. Had their short ribs fantastic. The meat just melted very clean inside Easy to get to. The chairs were very comfortable. I give this a 10 star rating highly recommend. read more

I had the repast here for both of my in-laws and it was well put together. We went for dinner tonight (NYE) and were seated right away. Maybe 1/2 full which surprised me. Until I saw the prices. This is not NY or Hoboken. Pricing is higher than Charlie's of Bayhead where at least they can pull it off. $69 for a filet is nuts for this type of restaurant. And then they cover it in gravy! Again, surprised. Filet was done perfectly otherwise. Chicken parm had a great flavor but chicken was very tough. Hard to chew. Caesar salad was very good as was the crab cake so a mixed bag. The final straw for me was an automatic gratuity on a check for 2 people. I'm not even sure that's legal and while I always tip well I don't like finding out at the end. I would expect it for 8 or more but not 2. Long story short, too many good restaurants in the area to keep this one in the rotation. We won't be back. read more

I booked Artisans , sight unseen, from Michigan. I was hosting a first ever "cousins reunion". Christy was very helpful setting up the menu, making suggestions,answering questions. We had about 20 people from all over the US and we had a great time. Laura took great care of us , the food was excellent. We loved the chicken park and the sirloin! The Mediterranean dips appetizer was great as where the Swedish meatballs and crab stuffed mushrooms ! read more

We used Artisan's for a small family gathering after a memorial service at the Kedz funeral home, which was VERY conveniently located next door practically. We got our own area to sit, the food selection they gave us was good, the food was good, and the service very good. Very satisfied and would use them again. read more

We had a wonderful experience having my baby shower in Artisan's event space. The space was really nicely decorated and cozy. We did buffet style lunch, and everything was good: the penne vodka, the salmon, the Caesar salad. we appreciated that they sourced a cake for us, which was delicious, as well as the other desserts of cheesecake and chocolate mousse. Evan was our main waiter and he was very communicative and provided wonderful service - he even put up a partition to make sure no one would walk through and disturb the party. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to use their event space! read more

Food ok. Service terrible. Waiter never checked on us once dinner was served. Won't be back

Nice brew pub located on Hooper Ave. just North of Hwy 37 in Toms River. Early bird dinners along with their happy hour 1/2 price apps. make for a price friendly dining opportunity. Also you cant beat their wine pricing by the glass and especially by the bottle. However, they are a brew pub so their selection of beers is quite nice. I sampled their light ale and liked it a lot. We did a couple of their three course early dinner specials taking desert to go for our treat later. Nice ambience and very efficient and friendly service at the bar made for an enjoyable dining experience. We will return again for sure. read more

This was one of the very worst meals I've eaten in a long time. Spinach pie was old, overheated, dry, salty and barely filled with any spinach. Just plain nasty. The phyllo was raw, the feta was sparce, the spinach was dry. For some incomprehensible reason, it was served with brown rice; not lemon dill rice or garlicky white rice, but just a glop of brown rice. There were some other things on the plate that looked like vegetables (thank goodness at least for that, something in NJ that wasn't served with a pound of french fries). I could see a carrot in there but the rest of the little bits were unidentifiable by either sight or taste. The place was FREEZING cold. They added in a credit card charge to a bill being paid with cash, so they're crooks to boot. read more

My friend had her son's first birthday party here and she was treated downright cruel by the owner. She came alone and asked for help bringing stuff in as she had 3 kids with her and the owner refused, replying "I don't care if you have 15 kids we don't have help" after she was told someone would help by the coordinator in a prior meeting. The owner is not nice at all and has pulled some nonsense at a previous party. This man should not be running a restaurant. He's downright mean. To top it off, the waiters and waitresses look like they are walk on eggshells in that place. It's a shame cause the food is very good. If it's just for dinner and you have a dinner date fine, but I would not have a party here, and definitely no kids. read more

With all the reviews that I have done, I usually will look at the Yelp reviews prior. It's a practice that I adher to due to the accuracy of Yelpers' combined reviews. I do go in with an open mind and of course I am going to rate an establishment based on my personal experience. That having been said, I recently breezed into Artisan's brewery and restaurant due to all the cars in the parking lot. This Italian restaurant was quite busy with large family members seated at tables with 8-10 seats. The bar area was pretty well packed too. The staff was very friendly and I was promptly greeted by Kayla, a server of the same ilk. I ordered a Butternut Squash Bisque and an Avocado & Feta toast and both were excellent. I didn't order an entree. Happy Hour is Mon-Fri 2-6 PM. read more

Went to Atisan's for Cinco de Mayo with my wife and friends. Our server was Ian, who was fantastic. His suggestions for apps, guacamole, and street corn were on point.

My family and I have made a tradition to dine at Artisan's every year on Christmas Eve. I can't imagine spending the holidays anywhere else! You're always guaranteed a great meal and friendly servers. They have special holiday menus and usually have some fun holiday drinks! Our waiter said they didn't have any drink specials this year which was sad, hope they bring them back. They were still able to make me the sugar cookie martini I order each year. Overall this is an excellent staple in TR and I highly recommend for any events, holidays, or just an everyday dinner! read more

We went for the first time for a date night this week and had an amazing time! we had the spinach and artichoke dip and it was super cheesy and delicious! Then we did the chicken Marsala and the penne vodka, both were great. When I asked for a dessert menu is when they really kicked things up a notch. They brought over a whole tray of desserts to showcase the options! Seemed much fancier than the prices we paid so I was happy!! read more
