Had a wonderful lunch here the other day. Have eaten at the hotel on previous occasions and I really like the new decor. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was great!. I particularly liked the venison which was fantastic. The menu is almost understated – not too wordy as menus can be these days – so when my meal arrived I was really very pleasantly surprised. I will definitely come again!

My husband and I came to Artisan Restaurant + Bar about two weeks ago. We did have some reservations about dining here as we had a bad experience about two years ago when it was called Bisque on Bolton, however, we were absolutely blown away by the service and the food at the newly re-branded restaurant. I had the prawn entrée while my husband had the scallops to start. Both of which were very yummy! For our mains, I had the venison while my husband chowed down the rib eye which in weight is 450g. Both our meals were cooked to perfection. To finish we shared the chocolate fondant, which was very decadent but not so rich that it ruined our meals. The service from a young blonde girl was just outstanding. Her knowledge of the menu and wine-list really stood out when she helped us decide our sides, sauces and wines to match our meals. Many restaurants could learn from this place, not only in how to cook good food but how to give great service without being over the top and intrusive. Only one thing that really got to me was the female receptionist who took our booking was very abrupt and boarder line rude. I do wonder weather the hotel and the restaurant are in sync? Other than that, this hotel restaurant is just great. We will be back.

Stayed at the Bolton the weekend of the rugby. Popped in to the resturant on my way to the stadium. Best steak I’ve had in a long time. Love the menu layout and the make-your-own style. Friendly staff as well topped it off. A++ team. Keep it up

Dined here Monday (23rd). Restaurant wasn’t too busy, so service was very prompt. Meals were excellent. My venison main was cooked exactly how I wanted it. My wife’s sword fish was quote “delicious”. Desserts were really well priced for what we got. Overall extremely happy, and will be back for seconds!

I went to Artisan for dinner, I had to wait a little longer than I expected for my table but it was well worth the wait.
The food was excellent, started with the venison which melted in my mouth followed by the eye fillet which was cooked to perfection. For dessert I had the chocolate fondant which was presented beautifully and absolutely delicious.
The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed and the decor very tasteful, staff were tentative but not intrusive. A lovely evening, I will be back!
