We ate here 1/18, (used TIW card) Me, DW, DS19 DD16 & DSI. The food was good DW and DS had the chicken. DSI, DD and I had the salmon. Salmon was good but you just received salmon and a very tiny amount of veggies. DW and Son said the chicken was good. But portions were small. This was the most expensive meal of this vacation but by no means the best. We will skip Artist Point for something else next time.

We've eaten at Artist Point during two different deluxe dining trips over the past year and, on both trips, it was one of the top two dining experiences (and, on both trips, we also ate at Cali Grill, Jiko, Citricos, and Flying Fish).
Food and service were top notch both times. The portabello mushroom soup, buffalo, and berry cobler is one of the top meals at WDW.
This one of the most underrated restaurants at WDW. A true hidden gem. Take a boat ride over here for dinner at the end of a Magic Kingdom day. And make sure to take some time to enjoy the Wilderness Lodge lobby area. You won't regret it.

No better place to have Easter Dinner. 2nd trip here, the 1st was about 15 years ago and was everything I remember and more. The wait staff was amazing along with the food. I could go on forever about Artist Point, I have had some people say they wouldn't eat there since it is 2 sit downs on the dining plan. Well, they are really missing out.

We ate here for my Birthday on Sunday and it was amazing! It was calm and quiet and the food was excellent. I had the mussel appetizer, rack of lamb and the canoli. The mussel's were one of the best things I have ever eaten. If you are looking for great food in a calm atmosphere I highly recommend it.

DH and I ate here in May for a romantic dinner. Overall, this is a very nice restaurant and had some of the best food I've had at Disney. I had the bison dish, cooked to the chef's recommendation (Med. Rare). It was very good- tender, delicious. It was accompanied by the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had, no joke. I'm not sure what it was made with, but it was heavenly...creamy with a bit of a crunch on the top. Caramelized onions paired very well with the bison.
DH had the scallops, which were a bit disappointing. They were fine, but we were expecting more. Specifically, we were told that they were very large, but these must have been out of season or something, because they were pretty average looking scallops. DH was not "wowwed" by it and decided he would rather have the Caribbean dish that was being offered (can't remember exactly) next time we dine there.
Our server was very friendly and knowledgable and even gave us some kids' menus and crayons to take home to our children, who were not with us for this trip.
The ambiance is relaxing, although we were disappointed not to be seated near a view.
Pros:
Service, ambiance, menu, bison is wonderful!Cons:

My family and I had dinner at AP on Sunday 8/25, and it was a really superb experience. We had been meaning to try it for several years now, and finally had the chance. The decor and style of the restaurant was stately and rustic, with a lovely view. Food was excellent, as were the drinks (Washington Apple in particular!). And the Berry Cobbler was to-die-for. Our server was attentive and friendly, and we were not rushed at all. It's a signature restaurant, so it's not cheap, but worth every penny (Tables in Wonderland helps though), from start to finish!
Pros:
Lovely View, excellent menu, outstanding service.Cons:

Dined here on 25th September, our server was Orisis ( think I spelt her name right), we were introduced to a new menu. I had the the trio of beef and my partner had the fillet mignon, both meals were cooked to perfection. I canont recommend this restaurant enough. We will always look forward to dining here.

When we checked in we were seated at a two-top with an uncomfortable bench seat. There were many empty tables. After insisting on being seated somewhere else, the rest of our time was fine. (Hint to Artist Point staff: If you are offering a free amuse bouche at one table and don't at others, folks notice) Our meal was very well done. We both had a wonderful mushroom soup. The cedar plank salmon was great. My wife said the pork tenderloin was great too. The Pacific Northwest wine list is nice touch.

My husband and I had dined here a number of times since it opened, but had not been here for a couple of years. On this visit (November 2013), we had a nice dining experience - but one that did not reflect the outstanding experiences we had on previous visits.
We started by looking at the menu and wine list. We were surprised that the wine list did not include vintages for any of the wines. In the past, Artist Point had one of the most impressive lists of Oregon and Washington state wines that we've seen outside of the Pacific Northwest. Given that these wines routinely vary from one year to another, we requested vintage information. Our server said that the wines turned over so quickly that it wasn't feasible to provide this. (Note that other restaurants we visited on this trip - e.g. California Grill, Flying Fish, etc. do provide vintages on their wine lists.) Our server responded to our request to identify any of the Oregon Pinot Noirs that were from 2008 or 2009, by offering only one choice - a 2009 - which we accepted.
We ordered the mushroom soup and green salad to start - both were very good. For entrees we chose the chicken and the scallops. The chicken was OK, but the sauce with it was overwhelming. The scallops over risotto were delicious.
Overall, our meal was good, but not as great as we had expected based on previous visits. For the price, there are other restaurants at WDW that we prefer.
