The best line in the review is Gjerde, famous for sourcing ingredients from close by, says he’s relaxed some of his earlier dictates. “It’s hard to say to someone who’s booked a wedding here they can’t get a lime for their gin and tonic.” Their stance on non-local was completely insane. Let me know what sugar is farmed locally...

I went to Artifact for breakfast back when they first opened up. Hungover, I was craving orange juice- "no, sorry oranges aren't grown locally so we don't offer that" looking down at my coffee I questioned "where do you get the BEANS from?" "....they are locally roasted" "....so what about locally SQUEEZED orange juice?"

The fact that it took this long for him to realize is concerning. Especially since it’s likely the money is the reason.

Too funny; my wife and I went right after they opened and I ordered a G&T. The waitress went into a while spiel about how they couldn't offer limes because they were out of season locally. We've laughed about it occasionally for years.

Only ever ordered oysters once there after I couldn’t get a lemon. And I’m a Woodberry fan for sure.
