HELP WANTED: Flying Fish Cafe vs. Artist Point, which is better?

We love the potato wrapped snapper at the FF.

It's interesting to compare these two, as Artist Point seemed to really hit its stride when Keith Gimbel was the general manager, and he's since moved to the Flying Fish.

I've only been to Artist Point once, and certainly wasn't disappointed. The buffalo short rib I had was good, if not overly memorable. The room is certainly impressive, and, since my house is decorated the same way (at least the part which I can afford so far), I was ready to pry some of those Craftsman-style light fixtures right off the walls.

I make no secret of my shameless shilling for the Flying Fish. Every meal I've had there has been at least excellent, with two ranking in the ten best I've had in my life (and I have eaten in Michelin-starred restaurants in New York and Las Vegas). To be fair, only about one time in six do I eat from the regular menu. The mussels first course in staggeringly good, and the servers know by now to bring me a soup spoon and a loaf of bread as there's no way that pool of pesto crema is going into the dishwasher. Steak is something I very rarely order in restaurants, but the Flying Fish's char-crusted steak is exceptional in both quality of meat and preparation.

So, for me, Flying Fish in a walk.

flying fish hands down. better food imo than artist point and we have had great service there every time. both have a nice atmosphere and i'd say look at the menus between the two and see what's more to your liking if you're trying to pick between them but we LOVE flying fish.
