Wonderful service and delicious food and the ambiance was great. On my next visit, food was good, service was so-so. At another time, my group was seated near the front door and it was cold the entire time, so the ambiance was not great, but the food was great. read more

Great food bit pricey but it keeps it classy the service is very good we had the Brussels which were good, salmon scallops and tuna. All good tuna slightly overdone not bad salmon came with more Brussels I'd recommend more variety of veggies with that the atmosphere was very good read more

Awesome place ! Food and ambience ! And service too- one of my favorite places to go to

Beautiful location and setting. Food was good, timing was awkward when mains came only 10 min after our charcuterie. Server prompt otherwise. My dish had a super long hair on top when server brought it out. I removed it because it likely came from her and just moved along but if it ever happens again I'd likely say something at that point. Might be wise to have servers still tie long hair back. Husband's steak was fantastic, my short ribs were good but grits didn't have as much flavor as I had hoped, broccolini cooked perfectly. Prosecco and wine with the meal were great and my dessert martini delish! Husband's dessert was also great. read more

The food was delicious. The wait staff was exceptional. The atmosphere was very nice/ I would recommend eating at Artisan179!

Incredible food and service . We live the patio area with view of the lake. It has great music also.

I was as always afraid to try this place as I thought it was to pricy, boy was I wrong. I had the Artisan Brussel Salad and it was absolutely to die for. My Mother had the Caesar it was excellent. read more

We dined here in the summer and decided to come back now that winter is here. I've had an issue with the loudness inside in the past. I'm so happy to say they have solved the problem. They hung sound tiles that really work. The food was delicious as always. I had the pork chop and it was bursting with flavor. The table ordered the Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and picked it clean. Can't wait to go back! read more

While enjoying a busy, hot summer festival day at Pewaukee's lakeside, our group of three couples walked into the perfectly chilled Artisan 179 for a late lunch and a cool drink. We were surprised to be seated immediately and grateful for the offering of iced water! Shortly, our refreshing Watermelon Sangrias arrived, followed by a variety of appetizers, including an enormous and delicious dish of roasted brussel sprouts, which even Todd, who detests brussel sprouts, tried and loved! Each plate was nicely presented, and the food was tasteful and plentiful. We appreciated the elevated casual ambiance, the attentive service, the clean restrooms, and picture returning for another group lunch or a more intimate dinner as well. read more

Great food great service. Our server Emily couldn't be any better of hostess as you would expect. Highly recommended.

Fantastic place to celebrate my birthday! Great singer, fabulous bday dessert. This was the first time in town.

It's a little pricey but the food was pretty good so I won't complain. I really like the vibe of this place - cozy and eclectic. It's right on the pewaukee lake so you're provided with nice views. We got the curds, scallops, dumplings and meatballs. Meatballs were the best. Our waiter was great, quick and attentive. I will probably be back after my wallet recovers. read more

First off we walked in at 5 pm on a Monday and were immediately taken to our table. The waitress mckayla was wonderful. I ordered the chicken Cesar salad and a jalapeño margarita. My margarita was amazing, but I would say my chicken Cesar salad was very small. For my two things and a salmon dinner the total was $100. Very expensive, but a cute date night place. They have a fire place too which was nice. It is very very loud so i would avoid if you have a big group. read more

Amazing local up scale bistro. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are delightful. Special occasion, date night, or friends...this is the place!

Wow, you will be blown away by the amazing talents of their young chef. The food quality and innovative flavors are fantastic. The specials will keep you coming back often and the location across from the beach is delightful. Both indoor and outdoor dining is available and the the service team is top notch!! read more

Our group of 10 ladies had an 11:30 lunch reservation. We had asked when making the reservation, if they would do individual checks and were told yes. The young waitress said no. We explained that over the phone the answer to the question had been yes. She got the manager, who gave us a very emphatic NO. She said they would do four checks . . . .guess that would have been two groups of three, and two groups of two. However instead of grouping the orders, the waitress just went around the group, and we ended up with one bill and one total. Tax was added, as was a mandatory 20% tip. It was nearly impossible to tell what each person owed! Amounts were not specified. As for the tip.........I did not wish to contribute a tip. Food was OK, but nothing special and high priced. The problem really started when the waitress brought our food. She had no idea who ordered what, and where the food was to go. My sandwich went to another lady. She handled it and cut it in half. When the waitress figured it out, she said, "Well this is OK isn't it?" I said no, but the plate was put in front of me anyway. I asked if it was half price, and she laughed. When it came to paying, I told the waitress I wished to pay just for mine, and not contribute to the big bill. I gave her enough to pay for my order and the tax. She took it, but returned, saying I had not given her enough money to pay my bill. They demanded more to cover the mandatory 20% tip. Here I always thought one tipped for good service. At Artisan 179, just figure prices are twenty percent over the listed price! read more

Outstanding meal, creative and tasty food and drinks. Fun environment, great service.

Came here for a late reservation on a Saturday night. The maitre d was friendly and promptly showed us to our table. Where we sat. And sat. Without any service for about 25 minutes. Finally the maitre d noticed no one had waited on us and a waiter came and took our order. We had some bread and it was hot and tasty. We started with the burrata tart. I normally love burrata but somehow this was just meh. The burrata taste was overwhelmed with all the other ingredients, the tart, arugula, Aleppo pepper and basil balsamic glaze. This dish needs to be rethought so the burrata flavor is more forward. I asked the waiter what was better- the salmon or Branzino - and was enthusiastically told the Branzino. So I had that. The lady ordered the salmon so we got to sample each. I must say the salmon was far tastier and better then the Branzino. Somehow the Branzino got lost in its ingredients and had very little flavor. Another miss. We had a side of the truffle fries and they were pretty good. The waiter seemed sympathetic to our long initial wait and comped us the rumchatta bread pudding desert. Yum. Very tasty. The place had a pretty lively atmosphere and a good piano player/singer performing. After seeing the mostly very positive reviews for this place and wanting to come here for some time, I was surprised that the food was so mixed. Too bad. read more

What a cool little surprise that I've seen from a boat prior but never got inside. We had very solid service, great food and the atmosphere was cozy and warm even on a day that was not cozy and warm. All the food was great and the drinks we solid. read more

Always enjoy the buzz on a weekend evening and the food and drinks were great as usual, as was the service

Our family hosted a rehearsal dinner this past Friday evening at Artisan 179. If you have any kind of event upcoming... birthday, graduation, retirement, wedding, etc... you will not find a better event space than Artisan 179. We arranged this event from a distance. Call Katrina! She is the most amazing, wonderful and helpful person. She made everything perfect. We would not have been able to host such an event without her expertise. She could not have been more patient and kind. In addition, if your event includes the need for a bartender, we highly recommend Ryan. He is an outstanding bartender. We heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests about the food. The banquet menu is stacked with delicious options. Best wishes to our new friends at Artisan 179. When in the area, we will stopping by again. read more

Started with cocktails...smoke infused manhattan was excellent and the presentation was over the top impressive. Next appetizers, dumplings with peanut sauce, tempera cauliflower and popcorn with truffle salt were all delicious with generous portions. Main entrees were delicious and beautifully presented. I had the salmon and will definitely go back and enjoy it again, the short ribs were so tender they fell apart. Lastly deserts, rumchata bread pudding and a chocolate box filled with yummy cream. Wish I had taken pictures but we all were so busy enjoying the food, the live music and good conversation we forgot! Highly recommend! read more

Inside... Food is very creative, drinks are great when you get them, wait time not so good, and noise level makes it impossible to have a meaningful conversation! Staff were stretched. My guess is that Friday nights are always crazy busy... so location and food trump noise and wait. read more

Date night gem. Downtown quality out in lake country. Everything we've tried here is good and menu always evolving. Small but upscale spot. Service is always great. One of the best spots in LC. read more

If local, well-sourced ingredients and flavorful culinary execution is important to you, Artisan 179 is worth a visit! The atmosphere is a little eclectic, but it's classy overall. The menu is super appealing and hard to choose as everything looks good. And it all IS good. At least everything we had was delicious. read more

Great place for an event! Food was very good even made in mass quantity, which I think says a lot. Loved the upstairs room!!

Great little spot with a good view of the lake if you sit outside. It was a hot day but there are plenty of umbrellas outside to provide shade. Our waitress was really nice and recommended drinks that were tasty. We just got a cheese plate to share for a midday snack and it was tasty but could have been better. I'm not a cheese expert but it seemed like there was 2 medium and 1 hard cheese and no soft cheese which is my favorite. The fresh honey was awesome, though. read more

A two plus? We got take out for date night. We asked for it to be ready at 7:00- didn't walk out until 7:15. ( I was late- but it should've been ready, right?). Not one customer was wearing a mask- most of the staff was. As for the food, the salads are very large and yummy- everything else is meh. The carpaccio was the best of what we ordered, but the serving size was minuscule. I have enjoyed my visits previously- their take out just doesn't deliver( ha). Not going back any time soon, I'm sad to say. read more
