Artista Restaurant

Had lunch here before the 2 o'clock ballet last Saturday. Had a reservation for 12:30 and was seated when we arrived. The menu was a three course meal (soup/salad, entree, dessert for $29.95). You receive a platter with plantain chips and 3 different sauces/dips. These are really good. I chose the potato leek soup - this was the best potato soup I've had! Very creamy with some kind of tempura fried bacon crouton and little bits of bleu cheese. My entree was the tenderloin and mashed potatoes - steak was flavorful and cooked to order; potatoes were tasty. Dessert was something like a 3 layer chocolate cake. There were two pieces, but I was full after one piece. Not too sweet but good. I had water then ordered a margarita- it was good and strong but not sure if it was $15 good. My friend had the Ceaser salad, striped bass, and tres leches and was happy with her choices. Pros: Convenience, food, nice ambience and view (even though I couldn't see much from where I was seated) Cons: No bathroom (It's downstairs), price

Very nice fusion food, loved tge salmon and wide varity of drinks. the menu is very diverse to suit your mood. It is lunch place, but they are open for dinners on Wednesdays. Friendly stuff, generous portion, nice ambiance and great view makes it stand out from other lunch places. Had few working lunch with client and team and loved it. Highly recommended.

We really enjoy Artista. Part of it is the experiences tied to eating here. We usually go here just before a show at the Hobby Center or other downtown event. The kids love it and have fond memories. The staff are great. Food is excellent. I haven’t had anything I didn’t like. Give it a try. Build more memories!

I had the empanadas served with plantain chips at the bar when the Houstonian Big Band was there Recommend both, but would recommend you try all four types of empanadas depending on your preferences. Music was great as usual. If you dance, you should be aware the dance floor space is small, but it wasn't crowded that night.

Beautiful view of downtown Houston, in the theater district, attached to the Hobby Center, great food. This is white linen dining so $$$, but the waiter was awesome, and food was great. This is a perfect date night...dinner and Theater. We saw Wicked literally next door after dinner and the waiter new exactly how to time the meal with the show start time ... Great experience
