Was able to sit at a bar high top table. The server was one of the bartenders. She was extremely friendly and helpful. She gave her personal recommendations about food and was spot on. We ordered multiple appetizers for our trip one by one. The potstickers were the best I have had, and the sauce was perfect. The brussel sprout salad ate a touch dry, but it was still very good. The bread was brought to the table warm, and had an excellent cracker crust. Finally, the lobster lollipops. The sweet chili sauce overpowered the natural taste of the lobster. I wouldn’t order them again, but they were still good. The drinks were very good as well: My Jam, and the Pineapple Coconut Dream.

We came here on our date night and I’m so glad we did! I ordered the Purple Haze craft Cocktail – highly recommend if you like good tequila and mezcal!

Absolutely THE place to stop on Pewaukee lake! Even with a hiccup with our appetizer, our food was phenomenal and so was the service. I recommend sitting outside. The view of the lake makes you feel like you’re on vacation. Will definitely be back!

I love Artisan 179, the overall atmosphere is fantastic and the food is even better, great spot for a nice dinner looking at the lake. Fabulous selection of wines to pair with any dish. Have had the opportunity to try multiple of their wonderful appetizers, and stopping for a quick lunch (Philly cheesesteak is amazing), and just recently stopped in for dinner where I got their gnocchi with steak as a protein. Big portion of steak for just an add on, and if I could eat that gnocchi and garlic cream sauce every day, I would. After having their truffle fries with garlic aioli, any other french fries just won’t be able to compare. This was an outstanding meal/dining experience and I am looking forward to stopping in again soon.

My wife and I stopped by for our anniversary and had a great time! We went a little later on a Saturday night and we’re able to easily get a table outside without reservations. The food was really good, my wife had a dairy restriction so she could only choose from a few things, but got the smash burger and loved it. I got the pork chop, which was excellent! The best part was our server, Ellie. She was very friendly and at the end of the night brought us some dairy free sorbet, which absolutely made my wife’s night! Will be back!

It’s been a long time since I visited the Pewaukee Lake area, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to sample items from Artisan 179 on this visit.

Service was excellent. This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. The scallops were perfectly cooked. A little crisp on the outside and soft and buttery inside.

Spectacular!!!! Went there for the first time tonight to celebrate our anniversary, and going in we had high expectations. Simply stated, Artisan 179 greatly exceeded all these expectations from their attention to details, the ambiance, the atmosphere (patio dining was a definite plus), the waitstaff service (shout out to Emily) and the excellent food. Additionally, the anniversary treat provided was a nice surprise and very much appreciated. We will definitely be back. Is it too early to make New Years Eve reservations?

Beautiful Pewaukee beachfront location. The food was fantastic! I had the grilled cheese, truffle fries, and shared the appetizer dish of caramelized Brussels sprouts. I my friends enjoyed a shrimp dish (prawns) and burger. We were all very impressed with how tasty everything was. Check out their craft cocktails…yum! I will be back!

Beautiful location right on Pewaukee lake. The outdoor patio has a great ambiance. Great service, food was excellent, only reason I deduct a star is because it’s pretty pricey overall, but in particular the prices on their bourbon list nearly gave me a stroke
