Oh for the sake of convenience!! – We have had tickets to TUTS for the past 5 years. In the beginning we only ate at Artista due to the location and they typically can get you in and out rather quickly. However I have never had a meal that I could say was outstanding. I am in sales so entertaining is part of the job as is dining out with clients. I am always looking for places of interest that carry their menu well. I have dined at Artista for the last two performances the first due to timing and last night because nothing e... read more
Spicing up the mediocrity of typical theater food – This Cordua empire dining room aims to add its characteristic Latin spice to typical pre-theater dining. Its prime location withing the Hobby Center and expansive patio offering views of the Downtown city lights should serve as a warning that you will be paying for just that - a patio and convenience. The Latin touch, however, surprises the typical theater goer and tricks them into thinking they are getting something special while the staff is making fun of them in the back... read more
Fabulous Pre-Theater Dinner – Went there with a friend before a show and had a fabulous girls' night out. Although the restaurant is definitely upscale, our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Everyone starts with fried plaintains with three different sauces that were delish. We had the empanadas as an appetizer and loved them. I chose the salmon for the entree, and it was cooked perfectly. We ended the night with the most delicious Tres Leches I've ever had. I will DEFINITELY be going back!
You'll need a reservation – Wonderfull after show dininng expereince. Fabulous food, great service and the interior is very interesting. Nice view of the Houston skyline. The dinner menu is a bit expensive, but that's what you'll pay for upscale dining with a highly recommended rating. The lunch menu is a better value. Go often. If you like the restaruant, then you'll need to try Churasco's next. Cordoba is doing a good job. Note; if you prefer boot seating, make sure you reserve it. The Hostess is very protective of whom si... read more
Disappointed Twice! – I really wanted to love Artista because I am huge fan of the other Cordua restaurants (Americas and Churrascos and Amazon Grill) BUT twice I have had bad experiences for weekday lunches. First, the menu is an unsophisticated pick and choose. As a fine diner, I want the menu to describe the dishes as the chef makes them and not just list the entrees like a burger joint. A pro: the executive lunch is a good value especially if you get the signature tres leches as the dessert choice. Other than the tres le... read more
Awful Service – Been coming here for a long time, because traditionally it's been a great business lunch spot. The last two times have been awful though, with the last time arguably the worst service I've ever experienced. We had reservations, but had to wait close to ten minutes to get seated. Then once we were seated, we didn't have a waiter wait on us for another 15 minutes, at which point I got up and grabbed someone. After we ordered, which we did right away, we didn't see the waiter again until the check came. In the m... read more
Not a winning lunch combination – I had a lunch meeting with a business associate followed by a business meeting at city hall. Artista seemed like a perfect venue since it's directly across the street. I had eaten at Artista before-but it had been a year or two. The room is quite lovely and my waiter was charming and helpful. HOWEVER, the food was absolutely dreadful. We both had the Executive Lunch which features a first course, a main course and dessert for 15.95--a very good value. I made the mistake of opting for the cor... read more
Humiliated by waiter? Please! Response to Houston727Gal – I wouldn't let the experience with the rude waiter stop me from enjoying dinners at Artista (for all you know he's probably not around anymore). I think you are over-exaggerating...I have traveled to many different places and wouldn't feel "humiliated" for not knowing the "etiquette" of the hospitality industry in that country...I would take it as a learning experience for the future and laugh it off. Period.
Free Humiliation at Artista!: Response to Houston 727Gal – HoustonGal, that is TOTALLY UNEXCUSABLE!!!!! I would leave a comment on their website so Mr. Cordua can see it. I left a positive comment for Americas long ago (when it was still in the right decade, CULINARILY SPEAKING), and I am guessing they still have that feature on the site. The nerve of that server... and for him/her to use the Manager as an excuse is terrible respresentation! On to my experience which was a few months back. My family and I were in for lunch b... read more
