    Solid food, nice staff, and well done space overall. They have a decent selection of foods for all your breakfast/brunch or lunch cravings. My wife wanted waffles and that is why we came here, she wasn't disappointed. I had a grilled buffalo chicken wrap with their house made chips. I had plenty of chips leftover to take home but not because they weren't good. We enjoyed our lunch here and would come back again.

    We just made our first visit to The Boathouse and were quite surprised by how small the restaurant is. With it being a Sunday morning, our wait time was considerable. The hostess estimated 10-20 minutes, but it was closer an hour. We continued to wait after being seated for another 15-20 minutes before receiving our beverages. Later, we had to have another server get our server for refills of coffee. From start to finish, our experience was just shy of two hours. Not ideal, but we know to plan accordingly next time. The food, however was phenomenal. I got "The Overboard," which included two eggs, meat (I chose sausage), crispy hash browns & a fluffy pancake. We definitely received hearty portions of everything & it was all well made. Without a doubt, one of the better breakfast spots in the area. I can see why they draw such a crowd.

    Amazing food and good service. The crepes are to die for! The decor inside is very cute for breakfast or brunch!

    The service was good, it a small establishment , it took a while for the waitress to come back to my table to check on us. I needed sugar-free syrup, took a while to get the waitress to return.The look of the restaurant was "boat themed ", which was nice. It was very clean, bathrooms too. The food was good my wife loved the crab cakes , she mentioned how " fresh tasting " they were. I had the blueberry pancakes w/eggs & bacon. The pancakes were nice and hot blueberries were cooked into the pancakes which I enjoyed. I would return back more often if it wasn't so far from where we live .

    Tried this place out for brunch on Sunday at around noon. We received a beeper and had to wait about 25 minutes for a table which was all good for a busy mealtime. Once we were seated, our server brought us waters and then proceeded to ignore us for the vast majority of the time we were there. We were seated in the corner and not asked if we wanted to sit outside and it seemed like most of the server attention was going to the tables outside. We were perfectly friendly but literally had to flag someone down to get a water refill and some coffee. We were told she would be right back with coffee and then didn't see anyone again for 20 minutes. I feel I am patient and understand things get missed sometimes but over two hours for two of us to get breakfast is a little ridiculous to me. They were not THAT busy and there appeared to be plenty of servers moving about. That said, no one was rude to us or anything - we were just forgotten. The food wasn't bad but it was nothing spectacular, especially with the lack of service. Maybe it was an off day but unfortunately this place just missed the mark for us.

    Turkey ranch wrap with homemade chips. Yum!

    On my home from Wing-foot Lake State Park I decided to stop at this little upscale breakfast/lunch dinner. Nice surprise to see all the delicious food being served up in an simple clean fresh looking restaraunt. My turkey wrap was yummy & the potato chips were homemade & delicious. I was there on Saturday on a magnificent Summer day for lunch. The restaraunt was buzzing with conversation of customers. I sat outside & the service was pleasantly attentive but the kitchen slow. On such a great day with good food & friendly pleasant service who could not like this place!

    My brother and I went for brunch on a Sunday around 1130 and understandably there was a bit of a wait. It was a cute little mom and pop like diner vibe mixed with coastal decor. Once we were sat l, the server Sophia came over. I ordered a mimosa and she told me no alcohol sales on Sunday (I personally think this should be on the menu). She didn't offer any other options and seemed at after us that received food faster. My brother ordered the buffalo wrap with no onions and a side salad. As a prior server, I would have mentioned there are onions on the salad... but she didn't. Both the salad and the wrap came out loaded with red onions. I ordered the over board with bacon, hash browns, eggs over medium and a pancake (the menu also said bread I think). His food came out, mine was about 3 minutes behind.. other than the pancake and toast. She came back and said it should be out soon. We were never asked if we needed anything else when the food was delivered. When she came back to let me know it still wasn't ready I informed her of the onions in the wrap as, and she just said sorry and walked away. She delivered food to the table behind us (in a piecemeal fashion) and i got her attention and told her just to not worry about bringing the pancake since I was almost done. She asked if we wanted the wrap remade and I asked how long it would take.. she didn't have any ballpark guess so we said no. She brought the check and I asked for it to be updated to reflect the breakfast combo without the pancake since I didn't receive it.. she kept telling me "it wasn't extra". The price was a dollar difference. After the wrong items, no ketchup/hot sauce/etc, and missing items, I feel that was a reasonable request. We then saw her at the counter speaking to a woman in a black chef coat (assuming manager), this woman bussed the table next to us before the check was dropped off, and never came to speak to us. Sophia then came to ask if she could take our plates as my card was out and we had waited. Again, from being in the service industry for many years during college and frad school, cues should be taken to take the payment and then come back for plates. It was so disappointing that the service and customer service was so poor and the kitchen wasn't coordinated because the menu looked promising.

    Artisan used to be one of the best coffee shops in the region, but the quality of food and service…read morehas drastically declined in the last year. The interior vibes are the same; open, spacious, and clean. However, the food and most importantly, the staff, no longer maintain the quality that made me a regular in the first place. Artisan used to have amazing coffee and excellent food, but the coffee is no longer very good. I think this is due to the staff. The food has significantly declined in quality. The hollandaise on their breakfast sandwich is now a broken, greasy mess. The "sourdough" is generic white bread. What's even worse than the food is the staff. In the last two years, the staff has degenerated to an incompetent , bedraggled mess. The staff has never had to wear a uniform, but perhaps it's time for them to institute one. In my last several visits, I've seen grossly oversized clothes that have the staff looking like they just rolled out of bed. Hair is unkempt, not brushed, loose, and hanging down past their shoulders. A recipe for getting hair in my food. Furthermore, the staff is no longer smiling or friendly and can't answer basic questions about the menu. They seem confused about where they are and the service they provide. On top of all this, they maintain their strict breakfast timeframe. Why they have decided to stick to antiquated time limits for the food that is always available in their kitchen is beyond me. The barest minimum of market research would show how popular breakfast sandwiches are all day. What once was a vibrant, friendly coffee shop with great food, good coffee, and pleasant employees now feels like a dressed up McDonalds.

    This was my first time stopping into Artisan Coffee as it is a bit of a dive for me, so I was happy…read moreto finally be in the area to give it a go! This place is a charmer for sure and has a vibe to it that is cozy. The space itself is larger than what I was expecting and it was nice that they offered additional parking across the street as their lot is small and gets full very quickly. The space also has a stage and lots of windows for natural light which I loved. The baristas were all very friendly and knowledgeable about the different drinks and what they offered, which was really nice. Unfortunately, I did not try any food, but their menu offers a wide range of breakfast and lunch options including sandwiches, soups, bakery and more. I reached for the cold brew and a friend got a lavander matcha lattee. The drinks were good, nothing out of this world but I was glad they offered additional cream, sugar, etc out in the open in case people decided they wanted to add anything to their drinks. They offer a wide range of drinks including some really interesting specialty drinks which all sound fun to try. Overall, Artisan Coffee is a cute, charming coffee shop that offers a wide variety of food and drink and I am sure you will find something you enjoy at this cafe. If I am ever in the area again, I would definitely consider coming back here to sit down rather than to-go.
