Brick House Mercantile & Artisan Kitchen — Restaurant in Dousman

Brick House Merchantile & Artisan Kitchen is in a class of their own. I appreciate the food, location, and experience equally. The food is healthy, creative and deliciously consistent every time. The experience is fantastic, I can be in work out gear or dressed up and I feel absolutely at home. The location is really special with outdoor curbside dining in the warm season, and just enough indoor dining to make it not a loud and overly busy stop to meet with friends to chat and catch up. I love the size of the establishment and it adds nice European flare to the experience. More so now than ever food quality and service has been compromised and I feel that BHM is creating a new opportunity for dining out. Keeping it small allows for exceptional quality and service. If I am choosing to dine out, BHM is my first choice in Lake Country because I know exactly what I am going to get.... whatever Chef Jeremy is offering. I rarely even need to read the menu because I love the surprise and I trust what he is making. It takes the hectic menu reading decision making out of the equation which is what I have always dreamt about. I just walk in and say "I'll have whatever is on the menu!" The beautifully made plate arrives, I close my eyes, and bite after bite I keep saying 'THIS IS AMAZING!" No joke, for two years I Have never had the same thing twice and I keep having the same THIS IS AMAZING experience. Try it, you wont be...

A Culinary Gem with Exceptional Flavors

We had an absolutely lovely dinner last night—truly one of the best dining experiences we've had! From start to finish, every bite was a delight. The scallop and pasta appetizer was simply the best we've ever tasted, with layers of flavors that were perfectly balanced and unforgettable.

For the main course, we both enjoyed the steak dinner, which was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with the most velvety, flavorful risotto. And then came dessert—an absolute masterpiece! The Chocolate Truffle & Raspberry Tart was divine, featuring a crisp chocolate wafer crust, rich bittersweet chocolate truffle filling, and a vibrant, intense red raspberry layer that elevated every bite.

I also love the ever-changing weekly soup menu—it's always a pleasant surprise, showcasing the chef’s creativity and talent. The quaint location adds to the charm, making it a wonderful spot to connect with neighbors from nearby towns. And, of course, the wine selection is always on point, complementing each dish flawlessly.

If you're looking for a restaurant that delivers incredible food, a warm atmosphere, and a thoughtfully curated menu, this is the...

First time here. Came on the recommendation of a good friend who raves about this place. We stopped in after a bicycle trail.

First, it's not a restaurant. It's an Artisan Kitchen. What's the difference? The place is small, the menu is small, and it's all very good! There are about 12 seats, in a small dining area, with lots of light from the windows. Outside, they have a few metal patio tables and chairs. We were warm from our ride, so ate in side.

Since it was our first time there, we had many questions. The staff was very nice, answering our questions. It was all very casual.

We ordered a Summer Grain Bowl and the Smokey Pepper & Tomato Bacon Bisque. Both were amazing. So good, that you want to slow things down, and savior each bite.

We also got some of the Rustic Italian Pizza Deviled Eggs to go. Had those in the evening and they were incredible. So much going on in such a little package.

We will...
