Beinfield Presents: Artisan Restaurant | Southport CT

Artisan Restaurant is going into it's 2nd summer season and is located at the Delamar Hotel in Southport, Connecticut.  We had the pleasure of working as the Architect on the design of this gem, which has proven itself as a hotspot with amazing cuisine.

The combination of industrial and rustic materials work together to result in an unexpectedly warm environment.  You'll see white-washed, pine boards and muted finishes creating calm. The space is organized on a column grid and glass partitions section off spaces using antiqued, steel and mirrors to reflect the seemingly glowing atmosphere.  French doors spill out onto the patio retreat which can be kind of magical, especially at dusk.

If you're looking for a quieter environment to dine, the formal dining room is the place to go. If you want a more lively and energetic feel, head to the outdoor patio and bar.
