    Ate at the bar. Jenn was (as usual) outstanding! Perfect mix of attentiveness without being too much. Friendly but not too chatty! Love her. Food and wine was excellent.

    We went to our "Go To" restaurant for special occasions to celebrate a milestone birthday for my wife. From the time we walked in for a Happy Birthday greeting from the hostess to the time we left to more Happy Birthdays, the service was excellent. Our servers were polite, friendly, conversational, informative, and just awesome. The food was, as always, superb. From the incredible charcuterie as a shared appetizer to the salmon for her and tenderloin for me, followed by THREE incredible desserts (we each splurged on a dessert and then they brough a flourless chocolate lava cake with a candle in it for her birthday) the meal was one of the best ever. We have never been disappointed at Lake Park Bistro. The view from the table right at the window was beautiful. All in all, everything was more than up to the lofty standards Bartolotta's sets.

    We were a party of four for dinner on a Wednesday evening. We were attended to by three different employees over the duration of our meal and at no time were we wanting for anything. Empty glasses and plates were removed promptly and new beverages or the next courses were delivered with impeccable timing. We each ordered different items from the menu and every dish was excellent. The tenderloin medallions were order “medium plus” but cooked more to medium rare, this was corrected though. We were all highly satisfied with our experience.

    Thanks to the Maitre de for a wonder table, Chef Langler for a wonderful meal and our Servers, Molly D. and a young man from Greece, for a wonderful evening. Everything was outstanding as usual despite a large number of diners throughout the evening.

    This is consistently the finest of restaurants, not just in Milwaukee or Wisconsin -- and our favorite. Awesome food and service. A wonderful ambiance and, particularly on a beautiful day, a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan. The best in service. Simply a wonderful time and meal, over and over and over again.

    Good truly French restaurants are hard to find these days, so Lake Park Bistro is a delight. It does an excellent job recreating the good-old-days French experience in the US--something I really miss as a gourmand who has spent several years in France.
