Watch Out! – My family went to eat here before seeing 42nd Street. I told the waiter I was allergic to shellfish and he brought my fish with scallop sauce. I told him that it had scallops in it and he just wanted to take the little sauce dish off my plate and then bring me a new sauce. The sauce had spilled out on the fish already and so I told him I needed a whole new plate. I should not have had to tell him how dangerous of a mistake that was. I was VERY disappointed in that given how much they choose to charge. I will nev... read more
Great view...... average food. – No doubt Artista has one of the best views in the Theater District, and the staff makes sure to treat you well....... yet the food is pretty much average. I get the concept (not really new any more) of mixing sauces with sides and main course, but my chef recommended sauce was nothing more than a garlic salad dressing (for scallops and spinach) that stayed on my taste buds for hours. The trece leches dessert was simply awful, the gluey white topping in particular. Overall, there is a good var... read more
Exquisite – Ravishingly beautiful with a decor that complemented the stunning view. Very quaint, romantic, and ideal for a date, reunion, business dinner, and/or before a show. The Chilean Seabass was to die for.
Delicious Birthday! – My boyfriend and I went for our dual birthdays and had an amazing dinner! Our waiter was very helpful and made us very comfortable. The crawfish taquito is delicious. The sea bass with the scallop and corn sauce and roasted jicama side was great!!!! The tuna and bok choy was also very good. (The sea bass sauce went with the tuna better, though.) We were complimented with both of our own birthday desserts. The view is very nice and the seating was very comfortable and the food presentation was refreshing... read more
The Hobby Center's classy restaurant steals the show. – The Scene Reaction to the hulking Hobby Center for the Performing Arts downtown has been mixed, but its in-house restaurant deserves a standing ovation. Created by Michael Cordua, of Americas and Churrascos fame, this stylish eatery offers sophisticated fare in a stunning setting. The large, open dining room on the second level offers a panoramic view of the Theater District through ample windows. An inviting terrace provides a memorable alfresco experience. The Food Th... read more
Excellent but the food was just ok – Great ambiance and outstanding service! For those that rated it bad, they should go back and try it again! Nicholas-our waiter- treated us like 'royalty'! The food was ok... presentation need some improvement. Crawfish taquito was 'different'... the Tres Leches was just ok (it is better at Churrascos or Americas). The best part was my drink-- Mojito! Mmm! I will go back!
Stunning views; slow service – In two visits to Artista, we have been impressed with the setting, views, and decor. Unfortunately, the slow, indifferent, and unprofessional service has tainted our dining experiences both times. On the first visit, the manager apologized profusely for our horrible waitress and comped us the crawfish taquito appetizer (which was very good). The second time, we were stuck with the same incompetent waitress, but no apologies were made. Also, Artista "ran out of" its Churassco steaks during our l... read more
What a view – Had dinner last night and had a great experience. We started with the crawfish taquito and it just melted in my mouth. Love how you can pick your meat/fish, your side and then the sauce. The presentation is out of this world and nothing like it anywhere in Houston. Wine list is very diversified and very representative of the fine wine regions. My tuna was exactly like it should be...rare rare rare. My son's Churrascos was like the other restaurants...cut it with a fork. My husband had the salmon and it was cris... read more
Extraordinary Experience – Without a doubt Artista offers the best view of downtown. Awesome dccor, great menu selection and layout. They let you be your own artist, you get to create your own plate. The service was superb.
