Bartolotta's Lake Park Bistro

The wait staff was exceptional and very kind, I fell in love with this place the moment we sat down.

Lake Park Bistro is our favorite restaurant in Milwaukee and we were so happy to return. We had dined here twice previously but it had been many years. We saved this for our last of three nights and everything was excellent. My husband and I arrived early and decided to stop at the bar for a glass of wine before dinner. We loved watching the activity in the bustling open kitchen, and felt like we were watching an episode of Top Chef! As we approached the host stand, I recognized the General Manager, Michael Sargent from a posting I had seen on Instagram. I stopped to chat and we were shown to our table which had a great view of the beautiful dining room. Michael stopped by and we asked him about some of his favorite items on the menu. He helped us narrow down our options. We started with Salmon Rillettes and the Fillet of Salmon with a creamy Sorrel sauce from the Haut Bistro menu. Both were incredible! For our entrées, we each chose to order Sole Meunière. Our server Haley was an expert at filleting the Dover Sole and removing the bones. Our entire dinner was perfect on Monday evening, and again on Tuesday, when I had my leftovers at home! For dessert we shared a portion of Chocolate Mousse that was just heavenly. We wish we lived nearby!

Lake Park Bistro never disappoints! Kate and Kelsi were fantastic servers and always made sure we were plied with more than enough bread and water between courses, which were paced perfectly. It was very kind to have multiple managers stop by and ensure that we were enjoying our evening with warm smiles from all. The table next to us had a proposal and we could see that the LPB staff went all out in ensuring their night was as special as I'm sure they deserved. We will definitely be back!

Simply our favorite restaurant! Incredible food. Expensive but worth it in every way. I recommend signing up for the Bartolotta’s diner’s club where you earn points towards a discount it saved us $50 this week!

It was a good date night out with my wife! Service and ambience were great!
