Matthew Pennington Review of Bartolotta's Lake Park Bistro

I would consider myself a pretty well rounded cosmopolitan person when it comes to foreign cuisine, and pretty understanding of different culture s food, but I can say Lake Park Bistro is one of the worst choices for French cuisine. Due to its terrible service, horrible presentation and plating, and downright disgusting food.
The first reason you should never grace this restaurant with your presence is due to their downright terrible service. First of all, when I visited this restaurant with my extended family it took at least seven minutes to even have a waiter come and greet us. Along those lines it took around another ten minutes to bring a simple drink order of waters and sodas to our table. Lastly, when it came to bringing the main courses they basically threw the food at us, and left, which segways into my next reason you should never go to this restaurant.
The second reason you should never visit this restaurant is their terrible plating and presentation of their food. First of all, my father s steak seemed to have been just thrown onto the plate with a few vegetables, with scattered amounts of aus jus on the plate. Secondly, the dish my uncle ordered which was a piece of fish seemed to have been stepped on, and then put onto a plate. Lastly, when it came to my dish, along with my mothers, it was vegetables and fish in a bag! All of these massive presentation errors are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to my last reason this is one of the worst French places to visit.
The last reason you should never spend any money in Lake Park Bistro is due to the terrible taste of their food. To start, along with my father s steak s terrible presentation it tasted just as bad as it looked he said to me after eating his meal. He said it was medium-well instead of medium-rare, and also added it had little to no taste. Along those lines, my uncle's fish dish also had little taste, but this time it was almost raw. The last thing is, is that my fish in a bag dish along with being downright unappetizing was also, slightly undercooked, and without flavor.
Lake Park Bistro, even though looking beautiful from the outside, is quite ugly on the inside when it comes to its terrible service, horrible presentation and plating, and downright disgusting food. Maybe I just had a bad experience with the restaurant, but my opinion is that you can have a way better 250 dollar meal someplace else.
