Since Artist Point seems to be not getting the best reviews lately- I wanted to make sure I posted our opinions from our recent dinner there.
We had a reservation for 7:00 and came a bit early- no problem- plenty of tables. As far as dress code, we saw everything- even though it was posted at the front desk. I saw both park casual and well dressed folks.
I really enjoyed all our food selections. Being a real cheese lover, I started with the artisan cheeses. The cheeses came with some crisp rounds of bread and nice sweet accompaniments (sp?) like poached raisins and cranberries. My DH had the new appy (not listed on allears yet)- heirloom tomatoes with crabmeat (can't remember the exact name). The tomatoes were wonderful and it came in a stack with a little mixed mesclun and a lump of crabmeat at the top.
For entrees I had the beef tenderloin- medium- they cooked it a tad bit more than medium- which was perfect for me. It was soft and flavorful and came with a very nice blue cheese fritter- wish they had thrown another one on the plate- it went very well with the beef. DH had the buffalo steak- which he really loved- cooked medium. He loved the sweet potato gratin and onions on the top- the sweetness went well with the sweetness of the buffalo.
For dessert I had the coffee both ways- basically a mocha bread pudding (very rich, good , not too overpowering coffee/mocha flavor) and a creme brulee which had a wonderful coffee flavored custard. The top wasn't really crunchy- but was still sweet and delicious! DH had the berry cobbler. He loved the sorbet and berries- left some of the cobbler behind. The cobbler is more of a muffin like consistency (reminded me of CRT lunch dessert).
We both enjoyed all our food there. We were on the meal plan so maybe we weren't as picky as someone paying out of pocket. The food was spaced fairly well- not too quick- could have been slightly slower- but still alright. By the time we left around 8:30 it was pretty much full- many families eating there (with very well behaved kids I might add- ours were at the Cub's Den
- nuff said!!)
Not having anything to compare to (we had never eaten at AP before) - I would say we had a wonderful meal and really enjoyed the food. If you've made a ressie there, don't be scared to give it a try- you will most probably love it!

) so I've already planned everything I'm going to eat - and between you and your DH, you covered it all! Thanks for a review that lets me know I made a GOOD decision!
