Artisanal

$$$$

Artisanal is in a barn by a country stream, but don't let that fool you: this restaurant is elegantly designed, modern, and serious about first-rate food and service. The prix-fixe menu offers around six first course and entrée selections, ranging from lamb tenderloin with charred eggplant to North Carolina flounder with morels. The indoor/outdoor setting and reliance on local produce mean it's only open from May through October.
