Artizen

Artizen at the brand new Camby hotel was fabulous… AMAZING!!! An absolute culinary adventure that is very approachable for your palate!!! The perfect marriage of such simple yet incredible flavors is absolutely divine!!! We were 3 of us that went to see Evita at the Phoenix Theatre and then did dinner at the fabulous Artizen at the Camby hotel… Truly one of the best chef inspired restaurants in the valley. Kudos to Chef Dushyant Singh, Matt and their team We met whom we think is the manager, Matt who came by to make sure everything was good. That is small restaurant hospitality… looking forward to going back to experience more!

I was so excited to see the new Camby Hotel and was not disappointed — they did a great job renovating the former, tired Ritz Carlton space. I decided to meet a client here for lunch on Friday and we had a great experience — beautiful dining room, great menu and exceptional service. I enjoyed the special shrimp tacos with a side of guacamole, salsa and homemade chips — yummy! This will definitely be added to the business lunch rotation.

I came here for Valentine’s Day with my wife and at first I was disappointed because they were only serving there V-​Day menu. This disappointed however was short lived. This place exceeded my expectations. The food and drinks were awesome as was the staff. I definitely plan on coming back to experience the rest of the menu. The atmosphere was very chill and modern with good music. This place helped make a very happy Valentine’s Day for my me and my wife.

Had quite a few issues this AM. Very badly burnt French Toast after not coming out with the order. No syrup either. Had to wait until everyone finished their meals and then was served a poor meal. Not good. I ate it because I didn’t have a choice. Cheese was also not on the scrambled eggs as requested. Coffee was very hard to get seconds on. They were busy given the holiday but honestly not too busy. Overall, our party of four had a number of issues and while our server was apologetic, for the price, we had a lot higher expectations. Long wait for the check. We were very nice, too. 2 stars vs. 1 stars because my wife’s potatoes were some of the best I have ever tasted in my life. Bursting with flavor. Everyone deserves a second chance, I will return, in due time, and update my review.

My husband took me here for Valentines Day and we were skeptical because we read other reviews however this place was phenomenal!!! We had a special menu for Valentine’s Day and the food was amazing!!! The short rib was my absolute favorite! The ambiance was very very nice! They had a gentleman singing and he did a great job! My hubby loved his drinks and food! We will definitely come back highly recommend!

Excellent food & great service. Had the Roasted Bone Marrow, Foie Torchon, West Coast Charcuterie & Cheese Tasting, Smoked Arizona Sweet Potatoes, Thai Curried Cauliflower and more with friends. Excellent wine selections!
Also, you can’t beat the happy hour. Half-​priced wine, beer & cocktails and reasonably-​priced appetizers.

Major disappointment. Personnel issues… no one at the front to pick up the car. Waiter slow, forgetful and hard to understand… and he forgot to get raw sugar, forgot to get ketchup and hot sauce, forgot to refill coffee, got one of two orders completely wrong, argued that the toast was toasted (it wasn’t). PLUS the cutlery had water stains and the meat was way undercooked. The three tables around us also complained of slow service. On the PLUS side… the manager was very apologetic and explained how they were short-​staffed (they were), the beignets were excellent and the coffee was above average. Far, far, far below the Ritz… and hoping they save this before 24^th and Camelback loses another hotel.

I love The Camby — Happy to know that it’s part of the Marriott’s Autograph Collection. Very chic Lobby. Enjoyed the walk to the Artizen. Love the varied choices on the menu. Since I’m working on my Size 4 figure for Summer, I decided to try the Camby Tortilla Soup. Slightly differ take on spices — I liked! Artizen salad is light and tasty. I had a bite of Selma’s Chorizo Torta and it was AMAZING!
It’s great to see this grand property up and running again. I will definitely make this a fave in the area rather than dining arcoss at the Biltmore Fashion Square. Cheers***

The atmosphere is VERY modern. The staff is friendly.
The food however is just OK. Nothing spectacular or extra special.
The West Coast Charcuterie & Cheese Tasting was very strange. You got several pieces of meats, but there was only one of each and it was a small piece. Then there were dollops of random cheeses. The issue is a cheese board is meant to share and be enjoyed by the table… it is really hard with this one. And at $ 15, not worth it. The cheeses and meats were nothing exceptional or unique.
The wine selection is pretty decent.
If you are in to new trendy places, then this is worth checking out, but don’t have too high of expectations for the food.

Had a great time checking out the Camby and trying out the brunch menu at Artizen. The food was great, restaurant atmosphere was really cool, and the service was fast and friendly. The hostess, Jackie, was welcoming and she remembered us from when we once ate at T. Cooks at the Royal Palms, where she used to work. Will definitely come back for dinner!

We went to Artizen, located off the lobby inside The Camby Hotel, the former Ritz Carlton and it was excellent. The made for sharing entrees, sides and starters created a sense of community and provided an excellent tasting menu. Chef Dushyant Singh flavor profiles and unique combination of ingredients was spot on. We highly recommend the chicken, carne asada, sweet potatoes and Thai flavored cauliflower with S’Mores to complete the meal. Try out this new restaurant in the Camelback corridor, you won’t be disappointed!

I had the complimentary Marriott Platinum breakfast here — the coupon doesn’t mention you can use it for $ 15 of food if you’d rather instead of the continental breakfast, but the waiter did, which was really nice. I had oatmeal and a scone, perfectly acceptable, with almond milk (nice touch).
It was a good breakfast.

The atmosphere is great. Love the feel and vibes of the place. Lunch Menu is pretty good and creative.
I came here for my birthday lunch with a group from work (12 people total). We went the week after this place opened so I figured we didn’t need a reservation, which we didn’t. They had about 6 other tables in the restaurant when we asked for the check. We told them we needed the check split from the beginning. We waited about an hour for or check and half of them were still messed up. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are on a time crunch for this reason. Hopefully they get it figured out as the place becomes busier, would love to return because I work in the building next door.

Started with a couple of fine cocktails and a fabulous salad. Then two tasty fish entrees– the roasted Bronzino was not a large dish but is priced accordingly. Actually the dish/​plate was huge, but not the amount of food. Just right though w/​o leftovers.
I should mention that my husband was a bit distracted by another restaurant guest: LeBron James! No autographs allowed (I tried).
We recommend this brand new restaurant, but thought the dessert offerings should be more upscale.

For being open only one hour I was really surprised by the Artizen. This is the restaurant in the newly renovated Camby hotel, which was formerly the Ritz Carlton.
We were greeted by Jackie, who knew the menu very well, and was very illustrative in describing her favorites. We heard about the new theme of the property. Her attention to detail was bar none, pointing out the camel sculpture in front. We took a couple of seats at the bar to watch the restaurant action.
Kevin created a couple of really wonderful signature drinks. I had the Stage Collins, my wife had the Phoenix Smash. Both were tasty and we enjoyed watching the creation process. Again, I’m surprised at how good the service is for their first day. Clearly the soft open, which I assume happened, was time well spent.
Not hungry but wanting to try something we shared the roasted Thai curried cauliflower. The service was prompt and it was really tasty. I’m looking forward to coming back of the property and trying the very interesting mix of food on the menu. I can see myself eating our way around the menu to find my favorites… because they all look so tasty
