Everything was absolutely perfect! Every bite was enjoyable! Service was phenomenal! We loved the decor and atmosphere there, it’s very cozy. I am not a fan of black berries and mocha but that dessert was just amazing! We will be goi back for sure!
Big fan of the tasting menu, and it was the first time trying the bar and lounge area. Good variety of food, simple and yet delicious. Always a good time at Ardent.
We went here for our 10 year wedding anniversary. This was the greatest dining experience we have ever had. The staff were wonderful and kind. The food was outstanding. It was cool to see the kitchen plating and have every dish explained. Highly suggest getting the wine pairing. I have never had a drink paired so well with the food. It brought out so many different flavors. Everyone made you feel welcomed and answered any questions we may have had. Overall 10/10 experience. We can not wait to go back!! Thank you for an amazing night and experience!
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 was a great introduction to the earthy flavors to come. The desserts appropriately finished the meal and had my taste buds singing for more. The atmosphere was comfortable, and the team did a great job answering our questions, and did a wonderful job with service.
Stopped by for the opening of the lounge, and it exceeded expectations. The quality is the exact same you would expect from their tasting menu, the prices are more than reasonable for the quality, and the staff is top notch as usual.
The lounge idea turned Ardent from an annual event location to a spot for a usual date night.
If you don't at least try it, you're missing out.
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 amazing too! A+
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 for breakfast the next day (we we're stuffed!). Every aspect of the meal, from the homemade pottery for each dish, the linens handmade by the owner's mother, the story behind each beverage pairing, the fact that everything was locally sourced from the family farm, the thoughtful, friendly and attentive staff. Every dish was absolutely exquisite. My favorites were the croissant with muenster cheese and the mussels with green garlic. My husband's favorites were the crab celeriac custard and the French fries 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!
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 was in MKE. So thank you, once again for experience that is second to none with all the memories made. Would also like to add their accommodations for allergies is incredible!
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 paired with wine or beer meant to truly complement and not overpower. The croissant is not to be missed, nor the beef sourced from Chef Justin's own family farm. The staff is highly attentive and share in all duties from refilling water (Chef Justin was at our table numerous times) to putting out dishes and explaining each taste. It was a decadent taste of what's best in Milwaukee and Wisconsin! Worth the expense and well worth the trip!
Ardent’s Door County Residency at Hidden Acres Farm was Classy, Cozy, Relaxed and most importantly DELICIOUS!! Justin and his AMAZING colleagues did a fantastic job and the setting couldn’t have been anymore BEAUTIFUL😊
I would HIGHLY recommend taking advantage of dining with Ardent in Door County if you have the opportunity!
