Artisan
In 2015, chef and founder of Navarre Hospitality Group, Kurt Janowsky, set out to open a special kind of restaurant, with creative, delicious, and beautifully presented food paired with warm, personal service.
In his words, he hoped to create:
“A warm and inviting modern American restaurant that delivers an uncommon hospitality experience.”
With Chef Bowers’ dedication to local, seasonal ingredients, creative preparation and bold flavors, and Managing Partner Brad Canniff’s commitment to exceptional hospitality, a simple plan has blossomed into one of the top restaurants in the United States.
