With as many times as we’ve not only dined here, but have held our staff Christmas party in the upstairs Rhino room I’m not sure why I’ve never left a review. It’s always a fantastic time !! It’s our go to when I want a nice drink, delicious food, and great company. Not to mention it’s beautiful and classy. Teddy (Ted) the owner is amazing, hands on deck guy. Always there making sure you have the best experience. And he smells good too :) Katrina and Ryan have always gone above and beyond for us. Making my special martini before I’m even sitting. So many other great staff members, too many to name, but they are all always inviting and pleasant. Artisan is definitely on repeat for us !!

This restaurant has really good food, very nice atmosphere, and was accommodating for celiac. The highlight of dinner wasn't the great drinks, or great food but our server. I didn't catch his name but the guy with the nose piercing, NIN tat, was top tier. He alone is worth coming back. I encourage anyone who eats here to keep coming back until he waits on you just for his service.

Had a work dinner at the restaurant.
Most of the food was great, but our pork was dry. Everything else was enjoyed by all.
Service was standard and there was a nice atmosphere.

My girlfriend, mom and myself went for a casual Saturday lunch. Service was excellent I and my mom had the Philly Cheese steak that was excellent. Steak was juicy and flavorful with a great sautéed onion mixture. My girlfriend had the BLT. the bread was exquisitely toasted and bacon nice and crisp. Our waiter was also very attentive. I'll definitely be going back!

Every part of our lunch here was great - welcoming hostess, good seating to see the lake (inside or out), an interesting menu and good service. We tried several of the small plates (brussels sprouts, bang bang shrimp, dumplings) and all were very good - nicely presented and seasoned. Salad and salmon, philly cheese sandwich and hamburger with 3 varieties of french fries which were all good. If I'm ever back in the area, I would definitely return.

We had high hopes for Artisan 179 given its reputation and the beautiful lakefront setting, and the view truly was spectacular. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives ended.
From the start, the dining room was overrun with flies. At any given time there were at least five buzzing around us or landing on our table, food, and even on us. For a restaurant at this price point, that’s unacceptable and immediately took away from the experience.
We arrived around 3:30 PM, but were told dinner service didn’t start until 4:30. We decided to wait, but once we ordered, the food still took nearly an hour to come out. I even overheard our server in the back complaining about a dinner order that had been in for 45 minutes, which turned out to be ours.
When the food finally arrived, my thick-cut pork chop was excellent, perfectly cooked and flavorful, but it was obvious the sides had been plated far earlier and left to sit. The vegetables were cold and unappetizing, and the shoestring potatoes were stone cold.
Service was polite but disengaged. The servers avoided eye contact with me altogether and only addressed my wife, which felt awkward and dismissive.
Between the flies, the wait times, and the uneven service, this visit was a major disappointment. For the price, there are far better dining options in the area, I’d recommend taking your money elsewhere until they address these issues.

Overall, it was a exceptional evening. Remarkable service, delicious appetizers, and entrées, with a warm ambience overlooking Pewaukee Lake. A little bit pricey, but then restaurants of this caliber tend to be.
Beautiful location but the service was poor, the food was mediocre at best and the prices were high. Would not recommend.

Very nice upscale restaurant. The wait staff was absolutely amazing and the food was too. We had an appetizer and split a sandwich. They went so far as to give us each a plate with half a sandwich and a serving of fries. It was a nice touch.
