Voted Best Décor/Atmosphere– Houston Business Journal 2005 Artista offers inspirational contemporary American cuisine in a theatrical ambiance featuring high ceilings with glass walls that afford sweeping views of Tranquility Park and the immediate Houston downtown skyline.
Located on the 2nd floor in the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, the décor reflects a theatrical ambiance: warm wood tones, soft lighting and exotic accents that contribute to the feeling of being "on stage". The onyx wrap around bar, dining room and outdoor terrace, offer a unique respite in the heart of the downtown theater district.
The menu, much like a painter’s palette, presents each entrée, sauce and side dish as a separate culinary color. Diners can either choose to rely on Artista’s culinary recommendations or tap into their own imaginations for a work of art that is as individual as their total dining experience.
