Review:

Ardent redefines simplicity. This restaurant in Milwaukee’s Lower East Side manages to pull off an effortless upscale elegance.

The décor is understated with muted colors, and modern, industrial touches create a peaceful, Zen atmosphere, an aura that extends to the food. Chef Justin Carlisle sources all his ingredients from local producers and farms, including his own, where his father raises beef.

The high quality ingredients are fresh, and they combine in the most imaginative ways: try Pig Head Terrine with apples and mustard greens. Portions are small and exquisitely presented, and the flavors are rich and unique. For true foodies, this place is worth a long trip.
