If you love cheese, then you’ve found your paradise in this sprawling, dimly lit bistro. Couples nibble on baskets of airy gougères at the bar while cheese-savvy servers hustle pots of gooey fondue to tightly packed wooden tables. It’s the quality of the French-style food, from hearty leg of lamb to charred hanger steak, that salvages Artisanal from becoming a kitschy fondue joint and instead makes it a delightful restaurant you will want to return to again and again.
