    I often have the sole, but opted for the filet as did my dinner companion. The food and service were excellent as usual.

    We chose the 4 course meal with wine pairings- worth every penny!! For starters goat cheese/shallot and pork belly. Moved on to French onion soup and scallops on mushrooms. For main courses we tried the quail and beef cheeks and dessert was the chocolate mousse and sorbet trio. Every course was simply outstanding!! Katie and Isabella (I’m not 100% on her name- so sorry) were wonderful. We were so pleased with the quality of food and the wine flight was delightful. Can’t wait to come back - we had a window seat but it was dark and we couldn’t see the lake. Next time- brunch 😊.

    Wonderful as always but the wine pour was very very small for a $19 glass of wine. That was the least expensive on the menu, need to have a few options that are between $12-15. $40’for two glasses of wine is too much especially for a bad pour

    I have gone to Lake Park for years, and this was by far the worst dinner we’ve ever had. Drinks were terrible- I ordered an Espresso martini, there was zero vodka in it. My kid ordered a medium cooked tenderloin and it came so over cooked he struggled to cut it I ordered a Sauvignon Blanc and was given the yellowest Chardonnay Multiple other issues. The servers were lovely that was the only good part. It was my birthday. Pretty disappointing.
    Bartolotta's Lake Park BistroResponded on January 20, 2025
    We are deeply sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at Lake Park, especially on your birthday. We take great pride in our service and food quality, and it's clear we fell short of our standards during your visit. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
