Customer Review Summary

Starters draw the most praise, with the arancini and the Greek mezze platter singled out, and two reviewers say the starters beat the mains. Cocktails and wine come close behind, including smooth margaritas, white chocolate and cherry pina coladas, an espresso martini and a bottle of Lua Nova recommended to rose and bubbles drinkers. Servers are repeatedly described as lovely and attentive, even when the room is busy and noisy. The mains draw more mixed views. One diner found the carbonara clumpy and heavy with Parmesan, another wanted the Sunday roast beef more tender for the price, and a few call the mains and desserts nice but average. Long waits on a packed Saturday night come up, and one table had to ask three times for the same drink. One reviewer felt the cucumber in a Hugo Spritz took away the other flavours. The burnt Basque cheesecake was the saving grace of one disappointed group meal.

    “Came for our anniversary dinner, and this was perfect place to celebrate as the whole evening from start to finish was amazing. Robbie our server was so friendly, attentive and just all around great! He made our evening that even more special so thank you Robbie! Drinks and food were also incredible so we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and visit again 10/10!”

    “The food was absolutely amazing and very generous portions. All the staff were lovely and very helpful. We went on a Tuesday around 5 so was reasonably quiet but did get a little busier as we left. Very nice calm atmosphere. Felt comfortable whilst top quality, would highly recommend.”
  • Michelle Freya
    “Great Greek restaurant with a vibrant and bustling ambience. Come here if you like a busy feel and good food. I will say however, we enjoyed our appies slightly more than our mains. If you enjoy a rose and some bubbles, order a bottle of the Lua Nova. Delicious. Our server, Daisy, was so sweet and kind. The staff were attentive amid a busy service, although wait times felt quite long. Understandably coming with how packed they were on a Saturday night. Thank you, Artezzan!”

    “Warning for Vegetarians: Several of the options highlighted as Vegetarian are cooked in the same oils/fryer as the meat products. Only found out when I mentioned that I have a meat intolerance, and the lovely lady who was taking my order informed me of how the food is cooked. I was disappointed as the main reason we selected this restaurant was due to one of the starters, however this was fried in the same fryers as the meat products. As such I could not risk it. The wonderful server offered the option of asking to have the starter cooked in the oven instead, however this option was declined. I would have given 5 stars across the board if it was not for this, as it is misrepresentation/misleading/false advertisement of the product being sold. If a food item is cooked in the same oils/fryer as the meat options, then cross contamination happens and you CANNOT call the item Vegetarian. This is not good for those with food allergies/intolerance, or for those who don't eat certain meats for religious reasons. The food which I ended up having WAS very nice, tasty, cooked well. The cocktails are VERY nice. The Margaritas are so smooth... and the servers who I spoke with were very nice. It was very noisy and echoing, however the music was good, the atmosphere was great, and there was a fun vibe to the place. I would happily eat here again now I know the situation and can plan accordingly, due to how nice everything else was. I wanted to leave this review just incase others are unaware and need to avoid cross contamination.”

    “Served Sunday lunch by Faith and Josh who were very attentive and couldn't do enough for us. Always kept us replenished with drinks and offered us the next course at just the right time! We had a wheelchair user with us and Josh accommodated him with no issue at all moving chairs for him to be seated comfortably 😊 I had roast beef which was nice, but for the price I would have expected it to be more tender and melt in my mouth. This was the only negative for the whole meal. Excellent service and I'd definitely visit again!”
