I have been and will be coming here for years. The food choices, quality and flavors are incredible – The service? Top-notch, attentive, and genuinely warm. You can tell the owners are deeply involved, ensuring everything is perfect. Their passion certainly shines through in every way! If you want an amazing dining experience, this is your place. Highly recommend!

Came here for date night. Easy to make a reservation. First time trying Artisan 179. Decided to test my luck on the Intelligence Roll for a drink. Came out fantastic. But that wasn't even the best part. The Salmon was the best meal I've had in years and we eat out at high end places all the time. My wife's steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be back.

3rd time here! Each and every time was an excellent dining experience!! Cocktails are top notch and the food, let's just say, you need to try it! Super friendly and attentive staff, I will definitely be returning again!!! This is how you run a restaurant!

Some say the third time's a charm, but I will be honest with you and tell you Artisan 179 had the charm and sparkle the second time around. If you read my previous post/ review, you'll know that the Valentine's Day experience wasn't the greatest. I never thought in a million years that this restaurant owner (Ted) would respond with such promptness and concern over making the situation right. Initially when I walked out of that restaurant ( on Valentine's Day) I had no intentions of ever going back. Ted changed both my mind and my perspective. He reached out to me the day after Valentine's Day and we chatted he was sincerely apologetic about what had happened and when I looked at it from his point of view; there was a bit of miscommunication. I didn't feel the need to be rude and make a scene that night because there were other patrons in the restaurant enjoying their meals. Ted thought that this meant everything was okay, which I get and I understand how it must have looked and felt to him. I returned to the restaurant last night Saturday the 2nd of March and was greeted by Ted and of course the wonderful Bryce as a server. The experience was a complete 180 when compared to Valentine's Day and I was in awe. At some point Ted sat down with me and we talked about everything that had happened and I could see that he's so sincere about customer service and so passionate about this restaurant that he has worked so hard to build that there wasn't a doubt in my mind this is a man who truly cares. His passion for the restaurant business is in his blood and when he moved over to Wisconsin after 9/11 and a lifetime living in New York (working in restaurants both there and here), this was the chance for him to offer a unique dining experience based on his vision. Bryce my server had told me that Ted gave him a chance to work there when he was 18 and now he was 21 and he couldn't have been more proud to have this amazing job he loves. I also met the chef who was very, very sweet, she actually apologized for the Valentine's Day meal and then produced the most amazing culinary journey of the evening. Ted's beautiful wife and friends were also at the restaurant that night having a girl's night and were very warm-hearted, their infectious laughter could be heard across the room ( you could tell they were really enjoying their evening together). Collectively as I looked around the restaurant and saw so many people smiling and enjoying the wonderful meals that were presented and the staff members that were so attentive to all their tables, this is truly a collaborative effort by a team that is a family. In business (especially the restaurant business) not everything can be perfect all the time, but when someone, (Ted) takes the time to rectify a situation and show you the difference; you can't help but to want to contribute to their business and help it grow. I will definitely be returning to the restaurant and bringing friends and clients there. I saw the excitement in Ted's eyes as he awaits summer and has a chance to open the outdoor seating and the extended seating that he's so joylessly shared with me as we talked. I also took some pictures of the amazing food of the evening including the wonderful cocktail that the bartender prepared. If you want to experience a diamond in the rough in Pewaukee Wisconsin, please stop in to Artisan 179. Thank you Ted and staff for all you do!!

Second time here. Both experiences were good. Would definitely come back. There were two of us, had 6:30 reservations on a Wednesday night. Got seated right away. The place was buzzing and there was a full house. We were seated along the front windows. The smaller tables are a little closer than I would pick, but our fellow diners had quiet conversations. There was also a musician playing near the door, but not too loud or distracting. Our servers did a great job the entire evening with getting us drinks, food, and any else we needed. Thanks Mallory and Sofie for being personable and fun! Got a couple of the Brown Mumblers, which are basically an Old Fashioned with a brown sugar cube and sweet soda. Which is very good! We had the Bang Bang Shrimp of an Appetizer, Tortellini and Short Rib for our Entrees. Everything came out hot, flavorful and good portions. The Shrimp was cooked perfectly, nice and firm and flavorful. The Short Rib was tender and loved the addition of the Leek Bone Marrow Butter (seeing lots of Bone Marrow Butter in other restaurants). The musician that they had play an excellent collection of classic rock, but in a more quiet, subtle style. Excellent choice for the evening. Another nice evening. Would definitely recommend to others.

Great food, fun and fellowship. Ted and his team always provide a welcoming environment. We have a wonderful experience every time we go. I love trying different dishes there too. They often have live music as well. We especially enjoy Ellie Allen.

This is my brother's favorite restaurant. We each tried new meals that were spectacular. The location is a main appeal: the view of the lake is gorgeous. The best dessert was seeing the beautiful sunset over it over dinner. I enjoyed the salmon, while others enjoyed the pasta and steak cuts. All was excellent.

What a wonderful experience! My husband and I enjoyed a date here, and we will definitely be back soon. The service was exceptional and personable! The menu was full of creative and delicious items (with many gluten friendly). We would go back for the charcuterie board alone! You can come dressed up or casual. It was just a little loud but only because everyone there was having a great time!
