Artisan 179

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! The bread was free and came with whipped butter... Was very good! I ordered the Saffron White Wine Cavatelli with Wagyu meatballs. The pasta was delicious and al dante! The meatballs were good but I wouldn't say it was anything too special... Rather have chicken with this dish. My husband ordered the wagyu smashburger mostly because we went to Hawaii and had part Japanese Wagyu burger that was amazing. This burger was one of the best you can get here, but Japanese Wagyu > American Wagyu. We will for sure be back!!!

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.

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.

Get here for amazing food. I could find some reasons our personal experience was not 5 stars, but it would be too snooty to take a star off for any of it. Get out yoir wallet and make it happen! I had the Filet and yes they nalied it. Cooked perfectly Medium Rare and some crazy oily thing in a moat around the plate. I thought it would be too 'wet' , but just made me kept trying each bite wondering why I liked it so much Snooty negatives...my Dad, rest his soul, would have said it was too loud and the tables were on top of each other. However, I was not born in 1938 and therefore I had no problem. Our 24th Anniversary dinner conversation was just fine. We even had a fun conversation with two other tables about the real Santa Clause only 4 tables away. The whole restaraunt asked if they were naughty or nice on the way out. We were rushed a tad. Waiter could not have been nicer, but seemed to be really be on top of moving us along. It was a Monday and we did knock out a charceuterie , two shared's, a dinner and a liquid dessert. Still they literally flashed the lights and there were like 16 people still there. Couple next next to us asked if it was for real to leave and chugged last sips of wine to scurry out. I have no idea if some bartender just leaned up against the switches by mistake. View looked amazing if the weather allows outside dining and the front staff was friendly and inviting. I wish I lived closer. I would love to go back as the homemade pasta was so tempting. There was a Bolognese with ground waygu, what planet am I on?

This place disappointed us. We ordered cocktails and the gnocchi as an appetizer, all of which were fantastic; things started off very strong. Then my husbands pork chop dish came out lukewarm (they microwaved it to heat it back up) and while my steak was hot, everything else on the plate was cold. My steak was also extremely over salted (it reminded me of Texas Roadhouse with how salty it was; prime steak doesn’t need that much salt). They remade mine, but it came out so late my husband was almost done eating his reheated food before I got mine. The server brought me soup (that I did not ask for or want) to hold me over while I waited. While I was eating my steak, the manager came over and said sorry but didn’t make eye contact with my husband or I, he just stared off into the distance and then walked away. I was interested in ordering dessert, but our server brought us the limoncello mousse as a “sorry for the cold food” before even asking us what dessert we’d even prefer. Neither I or my husband care for lemon (we are chocolate people) but ate a few bites as not to be rude. Nothing was taken off of the check. It was $182 before tip. I used to work in fine dining and I feel like management offering a round of drinks and a dessert of choice or taking off the appetizer and offering a free dessert of choice (and actually making eye contact with your customers) would have gone a long way instead of just bringing us food we didn’t even desire. I just can’t recommend this place when there are other places that deliver better service and food at a similar or lower price point.

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. The sea bass, despite its high price tag is 100% worth it. The corn chowder-like bed this fish laid in was very flavorful. The peppers are a bit spicy! The rumchatta bread pudding put it over the top. 10/10 will be coming back.
