    We ended up at Artisan 179 on a whim Friday night. We were lucky enough to get a table and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I had the shaved brussel sprout salad and added chicken. The salad was super flavorful and the chicken took it to the next level. The pancetta was crunchy and added a nice textural component. Only downside is that the noise was next level. It was a bit difficult hearing people at the same table with you.

    Great experience. Friendly atmosphere. With the sun setting, the beach across the street... good time for a relaxing couple of drinks with friends. Our group only ordered apps- all which were tasty... Then ordered desserts- so good we didn't even get a pic of those!

    We haven't been to Artisan 179 in quite sometime, but as we had a gift card stopped in on a Thursday night recently. I ordered the short rib pasta special and really enjoyed it. My wife had the smash burger, which she enjoyed as well. Had a nice bottle of wine with the meal while we looked out o er the lake. Nice service too!

    This is a very nice place! The food was just delicious and I love that a lot of it is homemade/from local farms. The waitress was very patient and kind with us. The chocolate sachet was one of the best desserts I've ever had! I enjoyed being able to sit outside too. Something that could be improved is the pricing. The bill got up there! The drinks were really expensive, and not super impressive. Overall, a great meal.

    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 lunch restaurant option on Pewaukee Lake. Highly recommend the shaved brussel sprouts salad. Be sure to add the blackened chicken. Enjoy!

    Yet another wonderful meal and experience at Artisan! This is one of our favorite local spots for dinner as they always have great cocktails, food, and service! We started with our favorite app - the truffle popcorn... it is so good and doesn't fill you up before the meal. We then spilt the shaved Brussel sprout salad which is always delicious. From there we got the bone in pork chop and the short rib ravioli special. Both are pictured below and both were wonderful!! If you haven't been, add Artisan to your list.. we will be back soon!

    Enjoyed a nice evening on street front table for the 4th of July fireworks. Creative drink selection and would highlight the following dishes: brussel sprout appetizer burrata salad. Excellent service, you have to ask for Christian.

Had a great server. Had a nice talk with the owner. They gave me a piece of birthday cake which I thoroughly enjoyed. I love this restaurant. The more I go the more I like it.

They have a very nice simple and clean salad bar that is free with any entree. We ordered a 10 oz Ribeye steak with 1/4 rack of ribs and a 1/2 chicken with a 1/4 rack of ribs and both with roasted red potatoes. The steak was cooked to perfection and was larger than I expected! The chicken was also super delicious - very tender and perfectly cooked. The roasted red potatoes were also an A+... Also comes with a large loaf of homemade bread which was really good. We also had a total of 3 Old Fashions and 2 beers (Spotted Cow of course). Their Old Fashions are done perfectly! The total bill came to $130 which to me is an incredible bargain - 2 dinners (chicken, steak, ribs, potatoes, bread, 2 salad bars), 3 cocktails and 2 beers... plus amazing service - MARY ROCKS! Highly recommend eating here if you get the chance!

    Okay, I will say right from the start that I am a fanboy of Tofte's Table. Have been coming here…read morefor many years and have always been impressed. Even had our 40th anniversary party here (on a Monday night). It's an excellent restaurant AND with reasonable pricing. The restaurant is small and intimate. There is a bar area, that has seating, or you several different areas of different size groups. A large table in the middle can accomodate a large group. The staff are always over-the-top amazing. The menu is tapas style has a large variety of dishes, and they change it occasionally to keep it fresh. There are several items that are always on our go-to list including the truffle brussel sprouts, chicken legs, pork belly, grilled veggies and the flourless chocolate cake. The owners Christina and Jason are terrific people. Super easy to work with when we planned our anniversary party.

    Tofte's has small plates (tapas) so beware when looking at the menu. Prices seem extremely…read morereasonable until you see that you don't get full sized entrees. We started with the Brussels sprouts. They seemed deep fried, which isn't my preference, but we loved them. Garlic aoeli and Parmesan was an unexpectedly good flavor. They then served the roasted beet arugula salad. Although we don't like beets we loved this salad. One serving gave each of three of us a decent amount of salad. It had a great dressing applied in just the right amount and delicious pickled onions. The roasted beets seemed a touch mushy but were palatable to beet dislikes. Next we moved onto the scallops. We highly recommend them they arrived on a bed of pasta with some vegetables and a wonderful cream sauce. We loved them. Just be aware you need to say how many scallops you want. It's $8 per scallop. We finished with the beef tenderloin. Be careful with your requested doneness. We asked for medium rare and received rare. Otherwise they had a nice crunchy sear and a delicious flavor and accoutrements like mushrooms and the most smooth, creamy, and flavorful garlic mash I've ever had. It had five good sized slices. These three dishes filled up three of us. They serve one plate at a time which gives your meal a relaxed, social feel and also gives you time to digest. It takes about 20 minutes for the brain to receive the message you are full so I think dining at this relaxed pace allows you both to get the full flavors of each dish and also to eat just the right amount and not overeat. The only bad part of the meal was the espresso martini. Don't get it. I've tasted way better. Didn't even finish it because of not great taste.
