Pub burger with the special sauce was absolutely delicious alone with the fried chicken sandwich. Everything was seasoned really well! Cranberry orange scone & cookies were delicious!! Our server was amazing as well super friendly and attentive. Please change your hours so we can make this our regular spot. Sincerely a couple that also works in the food industry & has days off when you’re closed

Just ate lunch here and will definitely come back. I love the atmosphere here. It's very relaxing and the decor is great. The food was perhaps the best sandwich I've had in some time. The menu is absurdly small but the execution was perfection. It's always better to have a small menu done well than a large menu where the food is mediocre. I got the flame grilled chicken sandwich and my boyfriend got the chicken and artichoke melt. Both were excellent. The only down side here is the service is painfully slow. We finished our meal and waited over a half hour before we were given our check and offered a box. But server was nice. So if you're not in a rush it's a great place to eat. If you're in a rush I don't recommend. I loved it here.

We had a really good lunch here with great food and a comfortable welcoming atmosphere. We ate here on a Thursday in late fall at just before 12. The restaurant wasn’t busy when we arrived but filled up before we left. Our server was very friendly with helpful suggestions. Our entrees included the Fujita, ahi tuna wrap (pita, not tortilla) with sweet soy dressing, slaw, and sriracha mayo. The flavors were wonderful - bold, layered, and complementary, but I usually prefer light dressing on my salads, and I might request that next time if I were to order this wrap again. The curry pasta salad side was also very tasty. We also had the grilled chicken sandwich, which was extra delicious with the sandwich grilled along with the chicken the with spinach artichoke feta spread filling. Overall, this was a terrific lunch and I hope we get to visit the Artemesia Cafe again soon!
