For being open only one hour I was really surprised by the Artizen. This is the restaurant in the newly renovated Camby hotel, which was formerly the Ritz Carlton.
We were greeted by Jackie, who knew the menu very well, and was very illustrative in describing her favorites. We heard about the new theme of the property. Her attention to detail was bar none, pointing out the camel sculpture in front. We took a couple of seats at the bar to watch the restaurant action.
Kevin created a couple of really wonderful signature drinks. I had the Stage Collins, my wife had the Phoenix Smash. Both were tasty and we enjoyed watching the creation process. Again, I'm surprised at how good the service is for their first day. Clearly the soft open, which I assume happened, was time well spent.
Not hungry but wanting to try something we shared the roasted Thai curried cauliflower. The service was prompt and it was really tasty. I'm looking forward to coming back of the property and trying the very interesting mix of food on the menu. I can see myself eating our way around the menu to find my favorites... because they all look so tasty
