My husband and I chose this restaurant for dinner after hearing positive reviews for several years. I am giving a 2-star rating because the salmon was well prepared; however, the rest of the experience was disappointing.
The surf and turf fried rice was served without the fried egg and scallions that appear in all the menu photos. The chicken dumplings arrived borderline cold. When the server brought the wings, dumplings, and a share plate, the table was so small she had to move my drink to the opposite side, and the share plate was hanging several inches off the edge. It made for an uncomfortable dining setup.
We dine out frequently, and this was one of the most uncomfortable experiences we’ve had in some time. The staff, including servers and the bartender, appeared very laid back, almost as if it were a casual hangout rather than a restaurant focused on service. After our entrées were delivered, no one checked on us. We finished eating and waited quite a while without anyone clearing our plates, offering a box, or presenting a dessert menu. My husband eventually had to ask for the check.
I remarked to him that perhaps we should have tried their new location, as the service might have been better there. I must say I was very disappointed!

I have been to Artistic Taste several times. I do have to say that the quality of the food has gone down since the new location opened in Newburgh. I have not been to the Newburgh location yet, I still have to try it. However, I have noticed a decline in the quality of the food over the past few months. I usually got the Fried Chicken Sandwich, but the last 2 times I got it, it was substandard. I wasn’t going to go again, but I didn’t want to cook tonight. So I got a to-go order. I just ordered appetizers for myself, and my daughter ordered the Jerk Chicken like she usually does. The appetizers were okay, I’ve had better when I’ve eaten at the restaurant. BUT!!! My daughter’s Jerk Chicken had someone’s hair in it. I called right away, and fortunately we live close to the restaurant. She took it back and was given a full refund. So now, I definitely will not be going back to this location here in Harriman, and will have to think whether I want to go to the Newburgh location. I do have to say again, that the Harriman location has gone down in the quality of the food since the new location opened. This is a shame. Very disappointed.

Always amazing! It's a little cramped and the service, while being exceptional, can get overwhelmed but the food is ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! No tiny portions, no food that is gimmicky for the sake of the gimmick, everything is so well thought out and executed. Absolutely my favorite spot.
Recommendations: The brussel sprouts (I hate yogurt but still love these) and the wings.

Always amazing! It is obvious how much passion and care is put into every dish on the menu.
It's hard not to continue ordering my favorites, but I do try to get something new off the menu each time.

I was tempted to keep this one to myself . . . The food is that delicious! It was such a pleasant surprise and an amazing find to have lunch here during a recent day trip from NYC to the outlets. The whole branzino, the oxtail, the rice and peas . . . Even the wings!?! Everything was perfectly prepared.
