Artis Southern Cuisine & Steakhouse in Schenectady is Closed

Another popular Schenectady eatery has announced that they’re closing.

Ja-Dell Whitfield announced a few weeks ago that, it’s official, Artis Southern Cuisine & Steakhouse is officially closed. The restaurant has closed in-house dining since June to focus on Artis on the Creek, the new Catskill location. Then, all services at the Schenectady location closed when the new restaurant was opened in August.

Now, with the struggles of two locations, Whitfield has decided to close the Schenectady restaurant. He also announced on his Facebook that he’s starting a personal chef business along with the Catskill space.

“So I been pondering all the details but I’m starting a personal chef business for ALL occasions. Do you want a personal chef to come to your house and cook dinner for your anniversary a birthday I’ll take care of all that you do nothing but tell me what you want and I’ll make the best experience come true for you right in your house.

From what I’ve heard, Whitfield has brought the same flavors and passion to the Catskills. We’ll miss this restaurant in Schenectady but happy to see he’s still making delicious food in a driveable area.
