"I often go to the Artful Bistro with my girlfriends. I especially like sitting outside in the warmer weather. The only complaint I have was that the hostess told me there was a happy hour going on in the bar. After placing our drink order, the bartender told me that the wines we ordered were not part of the Happy Hour list and that the price was the price. We were shocked that 1) the hostess didn't know that and 2) the bartender didn't tell us. Other than that, the food is predicable, the wine ok, but the location and a quick dinner out with girlfriends is usually good. We will return there again soon."

"We love this place and eat here often. The food is of very high quality and good value for money. The atmosphere is very relaxing and perfect for anyone who prefers a quieter environment than provided at some of the larger chains."

"Artful Gourmet Bisto is consistently good. The service is always excellent. I was there with three other people. Two people got the halibut dish and one got the veal chop. They all LOVED their dishes and practically licked the plate. I got the crab cake and was disappointed in it. That is why I did not give an Outstanding for food."

"We were in Owings Mills for the NCAA Women's Lacrosse championship and had to eat early. The staff were very accommodating when we told them we were in a hurry and when we asked if one dish could be prepared without garlic. Both my husband and I had great dinners. We'd definitely eat here again if we are back in the Baltimore area."

"We have been to the Artful Gourmet Bistro several times now. It is always a pleasure. The food is flavorful, well presented and plentiful. It is a great place to dine and actually converse while doing so. This is getting to be our go-to restaurant when we want a night out, though reservations are a must on the weekends."

"We went with my boyfriend's parents for Mother's Day. She is an artist and loved the art on the walls and the artsy names of the food. The food was excellent. The service was good, but our waiter forgot a few requested items multiple times. Otherwise an amazing decision. And I was praised many times for finding it and making the reservation! Bonus points!! ;-)"

"We've been there several times. Food is always consistently fresh and artfully prepared. Interesting daily specials; most recently had the Moroccan Sea Bass -- excellent! Fish was very fresh; great combination of sauteed onions, peppers and herbs in a tomato-based sauce. My wife had the the Pieta = eggplant rollatini -- nicely done; eggplant was cooked just right; not over cooked or mushy; full flavor and still firm -- delicate tomato sauce."

"Artful is consistently a good place to dine and this time didn't disappoint. If you live in the Owings Mills area and don't feel like traveling too far to dine, this place will certainly satisfy and palate."

"I have been going since they opened and in their original location and they never fail to amaze me. My fiend and I picked from the "specials" menu. She got the Mahi dish and I got the Peruvian chicken. OMG! They were absolutely delicious!!!!!"

"Best bets here are their specials- especially the fish dishes. The warm bread and salads are pretty usual fare and not special. But the specials don't disappoint and the flourless torte was delicious."

"I've eaten in the bar area and had carry out, but this was my first time eating in the dining room. I liked that we were able to make reservations and online through Open Table. The restaurant was full when we came in, but the noise level was very tolerable, we didn't have to yell to hear each other. The wine list had a lot of choices and it was hard to pick just one dessert from the list. It was our waiter's second night, but I think he did a good job for someone new. The food was delicious and inventive. I recommend the crab wontons and Baroque salad."

"Noise was moderate because we were seated in the room beside the bar, so whenever anyone opened the door to go through, the noise from the bar was very loud."

"Artful Gourmet Bistro is a great neighborhood restaurant. It does its best work when it remains true to its roots of good, casual food done well. Occasionally it tries to create higher end dishes with higher end costs not suited to the location or the food. This night we had a bottle of wine that was well priced and of nice quality. ARtful Gourmet excels at its soups and the chicken enchilada soup was no exception. Flatbreads are also wonderful at the Bistro. We had the crab flatbread and the crust was crisp and the topping well decorated with crab and cheese. Salads are also excellent with good flavorful protein toppings. For a delicious light meal, try the stuffed lettuce leaves as an entree rather than an appetizer."

"We have always loved this restaurant, from when it was in it's first location to now. The only disappointment of the evening is that they took one of the best items off the menu - the Matisse. It was so good. My husband loves their Starry Night Dish with spicy sausage and pasta. Their warm bread is great! Definitely recommend!"

"Had reservation for Valentine's Day. Restaurant was packed: no empty tables. We were seated right away, and service started immidiately. Waiter was really nice, checked on us very often, even he was really busy. We had Monet mussels, side salads, scallops pasta for my husband and perch with rice for me. Food was awesome! But real knock-out was tiramisu for desert. we order it pretty often, but Bistro's version was really good: textures, taste, just right amount of everything. Tables with live roses, music was just right, so an ambiance was romantic despite of big croud. One thing; tables are very close to each other. But in general - very good restaurant, we definitely will be back."

"I have been to the Bistro previously and enjoyed my meal much more. This was for Valentines day and I felt that the table placement was extremely close and we had ordered surf and turf and the filet was overcooked and dry...."
