No doubt Artista has one of the best views in the Theater District, and the staff makes sure to treat you well....... yet the food is pretty much average. I get the concept (not really new any more) of mixing sauces with sides and main course, but my chef recommended sauce was nothing more than a garlic salad dressing (for scallops and spinach) that stayed on my taste buds for hours. The trece leches dessert was simply awful, the gluey white topping in particular. Overall, there is a good variety of menu selections and a decent wine list, but I basically feel you are paying for the view.
Pros: Service, Location, Variety
Cons: , Price
