We always like eating here, whether we are staying in the hotel of not. It has a Shaker style and is very attractive. The food is good for all meals we have had there. We especially like the front porch and eat outside any time possible.

this restaurant gave my son and I a 10% discount because we stayed at the Comfort Inn. We had the Hoosier Tenderloin sandwich Platter and it was terrific, we had gotten a salad also and the House Vinegrette was the best, I then had Apple Crisp and my son got the Blackberry Cobbler, all I can say about the Artist...

Very good food. Hard to get seat on the porch but its worth it. We got one by going very late. Prices a little high. Wonderful decor. Very popular and the wait time in mid-day will be long. Try to do late brunch.

We've made the Arist Colony a must-have for lunch on our annual trips to Brown County. Their food is very good with a good variety. Definitely comfort food--think meatloaf, turkey manhattans, chicken pot pies (which are all fantastic, by the way). The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Just like all the good eats in Nashville,... More

The comforting scents of coffee and good food welcome visitors. As one settles into the surprisingly incredibly comfy Windsor chairs in the spacious dining room a calm washes over…what is different here? Perfect candle lighting…yes, wool rugs in muted shades…yes, but…there is something else. The pleasant sounds of calm chatting and utensils in use & nothing blaring…no music, no television,... More

We had a group of 8 and our server did a great job keeping up with us. The potato skins were good except for the bacon bits...real bacon would have been better. The spinach artichoke dip and chips were great. We don't recommend the meatloaf. It wasn't good at all. The ribs were decent, cheeseburger & chicken strips were good... More

I have been to Nashville, Indiana several times during the off-peak season. Having a nice spring day to discover more of the downtown area, we decided to give this restaurant a go. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is also a charming inn located in the heart of downtown. I tried the "favorite" catfish sandwich. It was amazing and... More

Soups/appetizers are yummy but entrees are not very good and overpriced. I don't mind spending $ for good food because I'm a foodie :) but I've been very disappointed with their entrees. Below average and overpriced. Although they do have very good soups and appetizers.

This place has great food. I had the catfish sandwich with sun fries and the dip with the fries is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you are in Nashville.
