Every time we go here it is always excellent! We appreciate the wine and food recommendations.

Our favorite restaurant in the area! Amazing food, awesome service and wonderful atmosphere. Outside seating overlooking lake and beautiful sunsets... the best! Owner Ted, knows how to run a restaurant and makes us feel like kings! Server Bryce... and Cheyanne... the best! The Brussel Sprouts appetizer is not to be missed. Bread pudding! Did I mention it's our favorite?! read more

Excellent view of Pewaukee Lake. Great food and excellent service. Lots of free parking, too.

Great food, great service. Nice place for date night or to bring a business client. Love their deserts. read more

Really enjoyed the service and the excellent food. The beer menu had a nice selection. We'll be back!

Really great experience with good but not totally mind blowing cuisine. Attentive staff, calm outdoor dining on a lazy weekend at the lake always appeals to us. However, having the actual meal live up to the price was an unexpected surprise. The grilled cheese was really tasty and the burrata plate was fresh and grand. read more

Overlooking Lake Pewaukee, Artisan 179 is an eclectic and casual restaurant serving upscale cuisine. With an expansive wine list and nice selection of craft beers and cocktails, there is something for everyone's likes. The food was fantastic, had a party of 6 for a customer dinner. We shared several apps - cheese board, crab cake and some awesome fried cheese curds. I went with the bone in pork chop with fried polenta - it was amazing. Thick chop cooked to perfection and still extremely moist. Everyone else was pleased with their meals and it was a great place to talk business over drinks and great food. read more

We stopped at Artisan 179 after reading a review on Yelp. It was absolutely fantastic! In addition to the beautiful lake view dining, there was a musician playing guitar and singing, and the food was delicious! The server recommended the chocolate sachet dessert which my husband and I split. It was perfect. I can't wait to go back! read more

Great food, great location and even better service! The appetizers and seafood are the best in the area. You can also enjoy the view from the patio of the lake! read more

We came here tonight for my husband's birthday dinner. We were seated right away (we made a reservation), but we sat there for over 30 minutes and no one came to take our order. It wasn't too busy either, there were quite a few open tables. We left once a table, who was seated 25 minutes after us, had been waited on. I'm sure they forgot us, but we were right in the main path between the kitchen and dining. We'll come back and try another time, but we just couldn't keep waiting. read more

Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere, especially in the summer. The wait staff was delightful

Great little restaurant overlooking the lake. We had the pan seared dumplings for an appetizer which were cooked perfectly and paired with an appropriate soy dipping sauce. For an entree, I had the citrus beet salad and added coconut shrimp. The salad was well balanced and the infused goat cheese added a creaminess to balance the acid of the citrus and vinaigrette. My husband had the special, which was a shrimp and mushroom dish with a saffron sauce which was a sheer delight. I would definitely go back! read more

The food was delicious and the service was top notch. Our table wasn't quite ready at our reservation time, so they were able to seat us in the bar almost immediately. We weren't made to wait. read more

Great service and food. We are looking forward to our next visit. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Yummy food options atmosphere is always great! Truffle popcorn is such an interesting option and delicious.

On a glorious 85 degree sunny Friday during the first weekend in May, we sat outside at Artisan in Pewaukee overlooking the lake. Although on a day like this in Wisconsin anything would taste great, our salads and wine were delicious. Managed and operated by a Bartolotta through marriage, his in law restaurant genes show through Artisan's creative food and unique wine list. He is very hands on, but not particularly warm and fuzzy. He grew up in New York about 10 minutes from where I did, but when I attempted to engage him, he was not interested. Perhaps it was my rental car which was a very modest Kia Rio. Next time I'll drive up in a Lincoln Continrental. Besides his cold shoulder, I enjoyed Artisan very much. read more

So many delicious options. It is a little bit pricey but it's worth it! Their dinner gnocchi is one for everyone to try.

On the pricier side but the food is definitely unique and well put together. I'd go there again for sure. Also very nice drinks. Portions are just right. read more

To add 4 tiny pieces of shrimp in a salad, it cost $18 to a $15 salad. Walked would with a $33 salad. And the waiter didn't inform us of the cost nor was it on the menu. read more

Excellent food and beverage choices, great ambiance, great sun-set views of Pewaukee's lake. Wait for it.. you're then guided to your table plus friends by the most fantastic host Teddy. It's a lovely, exquisite dinning experience. AGoodings read more

I came for a work dinner with a few colleagues and it was so cute! It's right on the water and seems like a great place for patio dining in the summer. They recently got a new chef so we were treated to an updated menu. For appetizers, we got the charcuterie board, dumplings and tempura cauliflower. I don't like cauliflower but I could not stop eating this one, it's a must try! The cocktail menu is very fun, they even have a few interactive drinks. I was a little underwhelmed by mine because it was supposed to be illuminated, color changing and salt rimmed, but I didn't really get any of those features. Regardless, it tasted great. I also got a blueberry Moscow mule which I could rave about. For dinner, I got the gnocchi primavera and it was amazing! I highly suggest adding steak to the dish as well, it was cooked perfectly. This place seems perfect for so many occasions from work dinners to date nights to special occasions, I definitely recommend trying it out. COVID Precautions: All staff wore masks at all times and customers were required to upon entry and any time they left their table. read more

I visited on a Saturday night with a group of six. We had a wonderful dinner. The night started with a fabulous waitress (Greta) who was well-versed in the menu and the specialty drinks. She was a great help in selecting cocktails and meals. The diversity of the menu was great for the three couples that made up our group. There was something that was attractive to everyone even though we had one vegetarian and a person who eats nothing but steak in our group. Everyone was delighted with the food they were served. The atmosphere was right on. They had a live musician playing the entire time we were there. The music he played was a fine addition to our meal. He sounded great but didn't interrupt our conversation. I think Artisan 179 is a great place for dinner with friends. read more

Came here for lunch and was surprised by the creativity on the menu - There were Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and Chinese influences, just to name a few! Service was very attentive and I appreciated the presentation and creativity of the dishes. Crab dip - warm and cheesy, nicely toasted flatbread to dip. Yum! Duck confit flatbread - I don't know how they got the sweet potato so smooth and creamy, but it was awesome! The duck felt just a little dried out, but the dish as a whole had nice flavors. I would definitely come back to try some other menu items! read more

We had our office Christmas lunch there today. Food was fantastic. Diverse lunch menu for our diverse group of tastes. The server we had was superb, and she handled 11 people with ease. Friendly, quick, and answered all questions on the menu. The owner or manager was there as well, and made a point to greet us and check in with us during the meal. Desserts were outstanding as well. A+ for food, A++ for service. Highly recommend. read more

Upscale. Great food and service. Good lunch spot for work lunches with clients. Limited menu, but great tastes.

They've got it all correct here. Great food, awesome cocktails and nice vibe! Might be on the more expensive side, but worth it.

Go get the cajun striped bass before the menus changes Great meal The shades of grey was excellent also read more

The bartenders are great! Food was really good as well. Nice place to sit outside in the summer and enjoy the lake view.

Great food and nice service. Always a fun experience with lots of energy in the restaurant.

Cute place but rough food taste. Service and drinks were okay but I hardly touched the food due to its taste. I ordered the brussels sprouts and chicken sandwich and I honestly was not a fan. They both tasted very bland. I love brussel sprouts and I could not even eat them here because of how they tasted. I was curious if they forgot the sauce so I asked for more and they were a little better. read more

Delicious, cheerful, professional in-rushed service. "Active"Ambiance. Outside seating across from the lake when weather permits. Great sunset view. read more

Unbelievably mid. Don't go here, unless you like tacky art and overpriced food. Service was fine, though. The decor was terrible. Not classy. read more

Came in twice this fall. Once just my wife and I. And the other while the kids had homecoming. Both were very good. The first time with just the two of us I ordered a burger and came it out very undercooked. After bringing it to temperature it came out tasting really good. Will be back. read more

Absolutely delicious food, wicked drinks and incredible atmosphere. Had the pork chop and mumbled, and loved every bite and sip.

Are there last Friday wonderful food and service.Great Service Friendly Staff facility clean and lighting adequate. The menu is varied with many choices this time we did the choice of cooking at the table. The cook was funny respectful and had each request down Pat after just viewing it one time. I would highly recommend it. read more

Service is horrible. Tried to order a To-Go and they wouldn't accommodate. They must not like business. Too good for takeout orders I guess.

Love this place. The food is American cuisine and super tasty. Extensive beverage menu. The staff is great. Absolutely no complaints.

We have lives in Pewaukee for 7 years and I have suggested that we try this place several times and my wife declined. Or some reason she thought the menu looked a bit eclectic. Huge mistake. We finally went and absolutely loved it! Great apps! Main dishes were incredible Le and beautifully prepared. Highly recommend! read more

The food was very overpriced and not very good. Portions very small. I don't think me and my family will be returning.
