Recently opened in The Ritz-Carton Boston Common, Artisan Bistro serves as a gathering spot where guests can connect over approachable craft cooking. The menu features fresh local and seasonal dishes, using native ingredients, as well as uniquely sourced products, with subtle bistro influences.

The modern dining room is dressed with rich woods and features elegant European design elements. Crafted wood wainscoting envelops the room and dramatic ambient lighting from above bathes white-washed wood floors to reflect a bistro-like setting. New, ivory stitched-leather banquette seating lines the dramatic windows overlooking Avery Street.

The restaurant's bar is an integral part of the fun. The cocktail program includes local favorites, numerous microbrews and a signature Bloody Mary menu. The mood at the bar, like the restaurant itself, is lively and inviting, yet relaxed and casual.

Chef Adam Kube at Artisan Bistro

Chef Adam Kube, Chef de Cuisine at the new Artisan Bistro at The Ritz-Carlton, Boston Common is one of the youngest toques to helm a hub hotel kitchen.

Since the young age of 10, Kube knew he wanted to be a chef and dreamed of working in some of the country's top restaurants. He was first introduced to The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company at a job fair when he moved to Miami to attend Johnson & Wales University. He worked full time for the luxury hotel company throughout culinary school at The Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne and then headed north to Boston in 2007. He landed at The Ritz-Carlton, Boston, where he worked his way up from restaurant kitchen supervisor to sous chef.

As Chef de Cuisine, Kube is responsible for overseeing the menu development for Artisan Bistro and shares with much enthusiasm his favorite dish on the menu: the croque-monsieur sandwich. "After all," he says, "who doesn't love a gourmet grilled ham and cheese smothered with Mornay?!"
