The Artisan Bar & Grill in Coventry

Great service, friendly staff, lovely venue, delicious three course meal for our staff Christmas party! Thank you! :)

We usual go to some big event place for our works do, but this year decided to stay local. We are a local plumbing company with nearly 30 staff. The service was excellent and super fast from the very start. The staff worked so hard keeping our glasses full and delivering some amazing food. (Even as we got a little merry and noisy!) We had the best night and will be back next year, much better than the big event venues, great service, great food and great vibe. thanks Team artisan!

8 of us dined here yesterday. Starters were delicious and plentiful. We all had steaks and ordered a variety of cuts and each steak was cooked to perfection 👌🏼 Our desert’s were the the perfect sweet to end our evening. The staff were fantastic with their knowledge of the dishes were helpful. The best place to dine in Coventry ❤️

Great waitress, lovely meal not quite warm enough but still nice.

El mejor filete que he tomado en algunos años. El servicio también fue rápido, atento y amable. Gracias por una buena noche.

Mi pareja y yo estábamos visitando Coventry y había leído las críticas sobre el Artesano antes de asistir y no decepcionó. No habíamos reservado una mesa con antelación, pero entramos y nos sentamos inmediatamente. Nuestra servidora Sofie se presentó de inmediato y compartió sus recomendaciones del menú en el que subimos a bordo y mi compañera se adelantó y pidió el T - Filete de hueso que Sofie había recomendado y en sus palabras era 'sobresaliente' - Sofie también recomendó qué vino maridaría con los platos que pedimos, y una vez más tomó en consideración sus conocimientos. La comida y el servicio fue excepcional, así que gracias a Sofie y su equipo que hicieron de nuestra primera salida a Coventry una gran experiencia. Nunca dejo reseñas, pero fue verdaderamente sorprendido por nuestra noche y pensó que el Artesano necesitaba el reconocimiento que merece. 10 / 10 ! Volveremos a visitar Coventry solo para el Artesano : )

Absolutamente increíble comida y sopa de servicio fue uno de los mejores que he probado y el filete con la mantequilla Bloody Mary es absolutamente increíble

Absolutely shocking! The menu is so limited and most of it is 'not available today'. I would not recommend this. No wonder you had no customers! The dishes on your choices below require an update and most of this was not on your current menu.

Lovely food in a beautiful building

The ambience is lovely and the food is amazing! We had starters and mains, all were delicious and cooked perfectly. Staff were brilliant! So friendly and welcoming, we'll definitely be going back!

Pleased with the Sunday roast, lovely atmosphere

Our server was excellent, thank you. Meal was really good. Fish was delicious but the steak was a bit undercooked, but once we asked for more cooking it was done to perfection. Really delicious. Thank you

It was our first time coming to the artisan and we are blown away by the incredible experience. We were recommended by a friend and we are so thrilled we came. The drink selection alone was fabulous and the meals were all Devine. Highly recommend. We can’t wait to come back!

Cracking terrace out the back- can't believe I've never known about this 'beer garden'. Very friendly place, and a nice pint. Hidden gem in Coventry.

Probably the best Sunday lunch you can get in Coventry! Gets busy so you need to book, service can take time when busy but why would you want to rush such good food and atmosphere?

Simply the best roast we have had at a restaurant. Service was a bit slow as they were busy but gave time for our food to go down between courses. Will definitely book again.

Went there today for a meal for the 1st time after hearing so many good things about it . Food was ok the beef was very tough and waited far to long for the food and it wasn't that busy . I wanted to go and try the "Best steak in Coventry but not after today

We booked this establishment for our Grandson's Christening. There was a few panicking moments regarding the booking, however swiftly dealt with by the professional management. The Artisan did the catering and the food was superb. The service was excellent, the drinks reasonably priced for the city centre. The weather was lovely, so we all spent our time in the garden. Thank you to all the staff, who made this a very memorable occasion. We will definitely visit here for a meal, one day soon.

We held a family gathering at the Artisan for a mid week late lunch. It was the first time we had been there but we needn’t have worried as everything was perfect, the team bent backwards to make sure our event was amazing, the food was great and the staff were excellent, friendly and efficient, making sure we wanted for nothing which wasn’t easy because we had pensioners, vegetarians, toddlers, invalids etc all were perfectly looked after. Everything we asked for was ready to go and there wasn’t a single hitch. Thank you very much for a wonderful afternoon.

Came here for a meal, didn't pre book and they had space for the two of us. Food was excellent, one of the best steaks I have had in a long time. Requested it be cooked rare and it was cooked perfectly. The onion rings are fantastic too. Not an especially cheap meal, but the service and quality of food was excellent, happily recommend and look forward to a return visit.

Fantastic day here for our wedding reception. Excellent buffet and entertainment. Staff amazing.

Solides Steak, gutes Service. Nicht zu teuer (für britische Verhältnisse). Mehrere verschiedene Biere, auch Weinkarte verfügbar.

The roast is lush.. this place is one of my faves when I head back to Coventry..hard working staff and great surroundings.

Very dirty tables we had to clean it with hand sanitiser and napkins, ive never done that before. The Guinness was discussing i couldn't drink it, I tried to swap it for water, but they still charged me for a pint of sewage. The menu was small with so I ordered a tbone as i didn't fancy paying nearly £30 for a 10oz ribeye, they came out and said they didn't have it making it the 4th thing on the menu which they didn't have, so i ordered a burger instead. They didn't bring a kids menu out just expecting us to order an adult meal for my 4 year old. The food eventually came out after 50 minutes wait, the chips were made out of the wrong potato they were discussing and the burger was the driest thing I've ever eaten, the only reason I ate the burger was because I was so hungry. I will not eat or drink here again, and i suggest you dont waste your time and money here either. One of the worst things is that as you leave, you see a lovely looking stake house at the end of the road, which you know you should have gone to instead.

Perfect food , perfect service with an eye for fine detail , you couldn't ask for anymore 110% going back again dog friendly had a bowl of water waiting for our dog

Nice graded II place, great food and staff!

This was our first visit to the Artisan, and we weren't disappointed. Although it was a little quiet at 6.00, the atmosphere soon improved and the evening was busy with happy guests. The lamb kofta starter was delicious, and the ribeye steaks perfectly cooked with a generous side portion of chips. Even the coffees were quality!

The best steaks in cov, highly recommend. Staff is super friendly and happy. Thank You so much.

Excellent place for food and drink. The staff are extremely nice and very helpful.

Been down from Newcastle working what beautiful place to eat service fantastic food amazing steak out of this world

When visiting friends for the weekend this was our goto pub, lovely atmosphere, friendly locals and staff. On our last night the owners and staff went out of their way to look after us.

Lovely meal for 16 people to celebrate a big birthday. Food and service were great. We had a slightly separate part of the restaurant which we decorated and bought our own cake, and the restaurant were really happy to help. Would definitely recommend to others.

Very good place for fine food. Try it

Amazing Sunday lunch would return anytime x

Should consider offering a lite lunch option

We were in the city centre doing a bit of shopping,phoned them to see if they had a table for 2,had the beef roast dinner,absolutely beautiful

Had a great sirloin steak cooked to my satisfaction..very delicious and satisfying.

Delicious food & service with a smile 👌

Nice restaurant with great service and atmosphere. We had dinner on a weekday evening, wasn't busy and we enjoyed it a lot. The food was fresh, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Garlic and chilli prawns for starters were exceptional. The main and desserts were very delicious, too. The staff was very friendly, polite and welcoming!

Excellent place, Hidden Gem. I'm coming back.

Great burger. Fresh crispy fries. Gorgeous coleslaw

Great place for Sunday lunch. Visited Coventry to see my son whose at uni there and needed a nice place for lunch. This was a good find parking on the road for 2 hours round the corner or a big car park next door, lovely old building querky place, staff super friendly and attentive. 2 courses for £22/23 roast beef and pork, beef was really tasty good portions, chocolate fondant yummy. Booked for 12.30 , strated to get busy about 1ish. Will visit again the next time we pay my son a visit.

Oh wow the food was AMAZING Plus the atmosphere is so relaxed. .Quite busy but the staff were really attentive. Really nice experience. We’ll 💯 be back and recommend it to everyone xx

Return visit on 15th January 2023: 20oz T-bone steak at £25 each - absolutely srummmy. Great, humorous service, too. Truly one of Coventry's (not so) hidden gems. First visit: Fabulous experience for their Sunday roast. Three of us ordered the beef, which was the tenderest I've ever tasted. They will accomodate you, too, if you prefer it to be cooked well-done. Service was excellent and attentive but you must book ahead for Sundays as I witnessed them turning potential customers away due to being fully booked. Great all-round experience in this historic venue.

Always excellent freshly cooked food

Excellent food Everytime I've visited very welcoming and accommodating staff I'd give 6 stars if possible!

2nd time we have visited a year apart and still as nice

Went for my Birthday meal on the 9th of Jan 2024. Just me and my Partner had the whole Restaurant to ourselves. Excellent will defo be back. High recommended 👌

Amazing place to eat could not fault the food at all. We had our works christmas lunch here and the staff were really friendly, the service was spot on and the menu was absolutely delicious food was exactly as described and presentation was amazing. It came out hot abd the portions were just right absolutley stuffed by the time we were out

I can only leave 1 star as we don't know what the food, service and atmosphere is like. I called on 30th December to ask if they had any tables available for New Year's Eve. Someone took my booking, so imagine my surprise when we arrived and it was closed for the evening! Highly disappointing.

Hosted a surprise party at Artisan in their space at the back and what a brilliant night we had! The staff were amazing and the manager was fantastic throughout the booking process and letting us decorate the room however we wanted. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a space for a party! Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had our Christmas Party, Leigh and all could not have done more. Fabulous Grazing board and perfect room to host our party. Would thoroughly recommend.

Wow the Christmas Fayre Menu, food was amazing , so delicious. Great Service and Great Atmosphere We had our Christmas Party NHS for 23 of us. We will defo be back and highly recommend. 🥰🎄🥂🍾

We were here for a works annual get together. The disco played some nice tunes as we sat there huddled together in the cold, no effort was made by the management to rectify the problem. We estimated -1c outside possibly 8-10c inside. We enjoyed our drinks apart from a very eager glass collector taking one away before it was finished. Attention to detail and first impressions are everything and ours was not the best.

Fabulous food and service!! I would 100% recommend without hesitation. 10 of us attended for Xmas works lunch and 10 of us would go back again without doubt.

Without a doubt the best steak in Coventry. Always keeps up the quality and their excellent service. I have visited this restaurant multiple times and will definitely visit again. Recommended for all.

Food was excellent, the only downside being it wasn't hot enough fir me as I do like my food piping hot, however beef was tender, roast pots were excellent, gravy was lovely with a pit on the side which was great, the cauliflower cheese actually tasted of cheese and the mash was cremey and tasty, w pukd definitely go again ...loved it x

First time here for Sunday lunch. We were a party of 16. We arrived at 12:30 but told our booking was for 4:30pm - without hesitation the staff sorted a table for us all and what a beautiful Sunday lunch - highly recommend this place - staff were amazing.

The spot is great the food simple but. Tasty our reservation was 21:00-11:00 When we arrived they inform us than the kitchen is closed in a few minutes so to order very quickly.we were the only customers. the staff was constantly collecting and fixing things in a small space At 10 they said something to us if we mind paying until 10:30. We felt that we were bothering, we didn't enjoy our exit. If they don't want to work until 11:00 then why they make reservations???

Fantastic food and great service. A very nice setting I had the fillet and my colleagues had the rump. Everybody really enjoyed the food and reasonably priced too. We will be back.

What a find? Visited the Car Museum and fancied a Sunday Lunch. Short walk away Artisan Bar and Grill. Very good price £25 for a three course meal. Prawn cocktail was delicious, cold and very fresh. Roast beef was literally melt in the mouth. Took my daughter and grandsons 9 and 12. They had the children's meal which was fantastic too. A hidden Gem. Staff were above and beyond. Will definitely be going back.

Perfect spot for pre theatre lunch - food was delicious, staff were lovely 😍😍😍 Thank you we had a great time and will be back

After reading all the positive reviews about this restaurant we were really looking forward to our visit for my sons birthday. We were quite disappointed with the experience and the service. In an adjoining room they were hosting a large birthday party and we felt we were neglected as a result. Our service was very limited and rushed. The staff were not very friendly and seemed gruff. We asked for a jug of water three times before it came. After we ordered we were told they had run out of rib eye steaks and then when the food arrived were told they had run out of sirloins. My husband steak was tough. My lamb was tasty however and the vegetables were good. Everyone enjoyed their chips but we were just underwhelmed. To their credit the restaurant didn’t charge us for the fourth meal but our overall experience wasn’t great. I had the feeling that this was a great place but we did not see the best of them last night.

My wife and I visited during a stopover in Coventry having seen other reviews. This is a fabulous place in a characterful building, with a limited but high quality menu, great friendly staff …. if we lived in Coventry we would definitely visit multiple times as there was so much on the menu which was appealing. My wife’s sea bass and my sirloin were absolutely perfect. I tend to only write reviews when I have received an exceptional experience …. this was one of those occasions. It was a Thursday evening and there were quite a few unused tables - this place deserves to be full every night.

We had the ribeye steak and fries which was just great. Excellent service by a charming young lady. In my opinion, the best place to enjoy a steak in the whole of Coventry. The wine list is a bit limited but the Malbec is a good choice of red.

Went here for a Saturday night out with family, we have visited a few times before. And as usual the overall experience of both food, service was spot on. Nothing pretentious about the place, just good honest food served in a nice atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit, we will definitely visit again ourselves. Good night all round. Thankyou.

Wow. The fillet steak….. just wow.

We’ve been 3 times now for a Sunday roast, each a few weeks/months apart. The food is fantastic every time. Really good value for money. The staff are brilliant, really welcoming and friendly.

A great experience spoiled by poor, gristly pieces of steak. Well cooked, nicely presented and with friendly staff, but the chef needs to buy better meat.

After hearing so many good reviews, I finally get a chance to try it myself. A party if 9 (2 children) went but it wasn't clear if there was a children's menu. There was a few options and our kids loved their food. Most the party had steak, a mix of Ribeye and Sirlion. We all had sauces and the chips were some of the best chips any of us had tasted. My steak was cooked to perfection and a beautiful cut but some of the party's cuts were a little fatty but still delicious. The portions were good and we were all more than satisfied with the meal. I would definitely go back as a treat for an occasion.

Beautiful food intimate location highly recommended

Beautiful bar and grill near the city centre of cov We went for Sunday lunch and it was extremely high quality and delicious The been was so soft. I would recommend the lamb bon Bon to start Really nicely decorated pub and very clean and well looked after Staff really friendly and more than happy to help Would do the journey again just for the Sunday lunch again

If you love good food this is the place to go! Can’t fault it.

What can I say about this place we took a chance and it didn't fail the food and service is excellent.

One of my absolute favourite restaurants in Coventry, worth every penny. Exemplary!

The Sunday roast is by far the best roast dinner in Coventry and surrounding areas. The beef is cooked perfectly, roast potatoes are like home cooked which you never get in a restaurant. The veg is perfectly cooked, and finished off with really tasty gravy. Almost forgot the yorkshire puddings which are also perfect. This place is consistently good! Staff are great too!

Had a meal with my family food excellent staff very friendly great service five star

Delicious food, lovely staff, good price. I was there before, I ordered soup of day and I was amazed…

Was expecting more local brews instead of the usual big names....considering the name of the place!!

The steaks are cooked nicely and presented well.

Great food. Starters were peng, steaks where cooked perfectly sauce was spot on!

Amazing meal at the Artisan. I had the Ribeye steak tender as anything, served with chips and Bloody Mary butter was amazing. Eden was so lovely she took my allergies seriously made great recommendations and made us feel so welcome. I would highly recommend this place and if you have the pleasure of getting Eden to serve you will have the best combination of meal and service.

We stopped in here for a meal to break up our 4.5hr journey from Manchester to Guildford and we were not disappointed. These guys know how to cook a steak and season it well! The chips to go with were fantastic and the mushroom was just the cherry on top! Will definitely be stopping by again when we’re in the area!

Stunning food Amazing service Would 100% recommend

I'm at the Belfast City Airport at the Artisan the staff are really helpful the food was excellent, Halla the bar staff was a delight she went really out of her was to make you enjoy your food and atmosphere, this is the kind of staff you really need. Thanks to who ever hired her.

Very nice restaurant, best steak I have had in a while.

We decided to go to the restaurant for our sons birthday as it was one of our favourite restaurants years ago and we haven’t been for a few years as we live out of the city. We was a table of 6 and no one else was in the restaurant. We all only had mains and the menu is very small (no complaining about the menu). However, the waitress still managed to make 4 mistakes, serving a ribeye medium/rare instead of as it was order… medium, it was also served with the wrong sauce, and instead of medium/rare for one of the steaks it was rare, the waitress then also got my daughters order completely wrong, my daughter order filet steak, but the waitress mistakes this for ribeye, my daughter was then told she would have to wait a further 15 minutes for the correct dish but was served her side. Meaning once her meal arrived the rest of the family was almost finished and her side was cold. We acknowledge human error, as we all make mistakes. However, there was no apology or acknowledgement of her mistakes. The waitress was pregnant so she could have quite easily apologise, and even blame it on “baby brain” and we would have been understanding but the was no apology what so ever…nothing! The waitress then spent the whole time in the kitchen so whenever we required service for drinks, condiments etc. We would have to get up from the table and get her attention from the kitchen. I have to be fair and say even with the mistakes the food was very nice (as it always is). However, the service was poor and for my family food service is equally as important as the quality of the food, if not more important. For this reason we didn’t not leave a tip which is a shame as I can honestly say the chief actually deserved one but the lack of service prevented us from leaving a tip. Overall a very disappointing experience and because of this we will not be visiting again anytime soon, such a shame as the food is actually amazing here. When I got home, and was discussing the lack of service with the family. I wasn’t sure it’s find out that we actually paid a service charge as I would’ve asked for that to be removed. I would recommend customer service training.

The meal and service was absolutely top notch. An amazing Sunday roast and will definitely he back.

Fantastic restaurant been there many times and it never let's me down. And an added bonus was I had Cov City midfielder Gus Hamer sitting at the next table.

Steak was amazing, service was lovely. Only marked 4* as they were out of items I wanted to order.

Fancied steak and was not disappointed. Lovely cosy restaurant with friendly staff. Steak very tasty, soft and tender, and cooked medium rare as requested. The chips and sides were also very good. Cheese board was huge and plenty for us to share one. Really enjoyed the experience.

Excellent for Sunday roast, had the 3 course deal, good food, service and atmosphere well worth recommending it

Nice bar.. first time I'd been popped in to meet someone would use again

Good quality food. Around £60 for two with drinks. Only thing, if you a beer lover , don’t expect a big choice of good beer or IPA, could be better choice…

Prawns very over done. No real skill involved. Just parawns! The pork starter was pretty basic as well. Although my partner liked the croquettes. The lamb main was served what was called salsa verde but tasted off and almost like mint and vinegar from a jar. It was vile. We were starving so we ate what we could. I had the seabass. The fish was nice but that was it. The new pots had no seasoning, there was no sauce. The prawns were like bullets. I'm gonna guess the chef doesn't work on Mondays because it was a 2/10 from both of us. The price of £80 one one and 1 coke. This isn't good enough won't bother coming back.

Once again a humungous thank you to Leigh and all his staff for today's dinner. I was treated by my son Phil to a take-away dinner for Mother's day. Roast lamb... which was so tender (and tasty) that it fell apart as my fork went in, beautiful roast potatoes, cabbage, peas and carrots cooked to perfection (but I don't know how the are cooked as they have a super taste), homemade Yorkshire pudding topped with rich lamb gravy. The Artisan dinners and meals are well worth trying so that you can taste excellent food for yourselves. Once again a huge thank you... feeling well stuffed and satisfied now

Visited on a Tuesday night (7th March). Asked for a table for 2. Restauraunt pretty much empty - but there were a few customers seated in there, eating or waiting for food. The lady who met us as we arrived told us that "...the kitchen is closed!" and followed up with "It closes at 9!". I wouldn't have minded so much, except the booking website clearly takes bookings for later, and to top it all off, when I checked my watch the time was actually 20:40!! Clearly don't need customers. Good luck staying open in the current economic climate!

Have just enjoyed an amazing two course meal (party of four) for just £20 each and this was genuinely the best Sunday roast I've ever had, the roast beef was beyond perfect. Thanks guys!

We visited the Artisan last night for my partners birthday meal. The food and ambiance were amazing. Leigh, Claire and the rest of the team, were super efficient and nothing was too much trouble. We had a party of 13 and everyone’s food was cooked to perfection! Would highly recommend.

Top steak ，best steak in Coventry! Super!
