Reviews for Ardent in Milwaukee, WI
Ardent is second to none - from atmosphere, to service, to food it is truly the best of the best. We come from Chicago to visit... the team at Ardent because there is nothing like it. This would without a doubt be a Michelin Starred experience if Michelin wasin MKE. So thank you, once again for experience that is second to none with all the memories made. Would also like to add theiraccommodations for allergies is incredible! Read more
Amazing dining experience with the tasting menu. Small and cozy with an amazing staff. They accommodated gluten and dairy... allergies amazingly (still got amazing bread for the caviar and carrot cake bite with vegan frosting). Mocktails were amazingtoo! A+ Read more
An experience for sure! The food was wonderful. I took the lead from other reviews and ordered the beverage pairings. I was... absolutely impressed with how they highlighted the food and the food highlighted them. The 12 course meal started light and wasa great introduction to the earthy flavors to come. The desserts appropriately finished the meal and had my taste buds singingfor more. The atmosphere was comfortable, and the team did a great job answering our questions, and did a wonderful job withservice. Read more
Cozy atmosphere, attentive but friendly service and the food! Every course was flavorful and beautifully presented. It is a set... tasting menu; can be paired with wine if you choose. It was the best dining experience we have had in a while! Fantastic! Read more
Ardent is by far the most luxurious, decadent and creative meal we've had so far in Milwaukee. Chef Justin and his staff live up... to hype of executing seasonal, locally sourced dishes that combine art, finesse, and flavor. Each course is thoughtfully pairedwith wine or beer meant to truly complement and not overpower. The croissant is not to be missed, nor the beef sourced from ChefJustin's own family farm. The staff is highly attentive and share in all duties from refilling water (Chef Justin was at ourtable numerous times) to putting out dishes and explaining each taste. It was a decadent taste of what's best in Milwaukee andWisconsin! Worth the expense and well worth the trip! Read more
Simply an amazing meal.. we were visiting from NYC and have eaten at some of the best restaurants. This was way up there as one... of the best! The 9 course tasting menu also comes with snacks, extra dessert bites and even a baked good to take home forbreakfast the next day (we we're stuffed!). Every aspect of the meal, from the homemade pottery for each dish, the linenshandmade by the owner's mother, the story behind each beverage pairing, the fact that everything was locally sourced from thefamily farm, the thoughtful, friendly and attentive staff. Every dish was absolutely exquisite. My favorites were the croissantwith muenster cheese and the mussels with green garlic. My husband's favorites were the crab celeriac custard and the Frenchfries with ice cream dessert! We were sad to leave but excited to tell everyone back home to come to Milwaukee and eat here.Thank you for an amazing dining experience! Read more
If I could give this 4.5 I would. I like that they utilize local food. I found that the flavors definitely were unique to... milwaukee taste, but some of the dishes were lacking. They did well with the wine pairings. Customer service was on point and Iappreciated the intimate, personalized dining experience. I would recommend this to someone who is looking for a high end foodexperience Read more
Ardent is an experience unlike any other. Dinner was 12 courses and each one was so creative. I tried things I've never had... before and things prepared in ways I've never even imagined. The service was impeccable, the drinks were delicious, and theatmosphere was cool. It's definitely a special occasion dinner, but worth every penny. Read more
