This is a great place for daye night out or entertaining. The views are beautiful and the service is amazing.
I have gone here with friends and with clients and only have good experiences.
The menu is robust and you ll find plenty of wine that you will enjoy.
It is not inexpensive and is more upscale but well worth it. If you are on the fence... go you ll love it.
Chris the server was great! It was an experience, not just a dinner!
The resteraunt was warm and inviting. We didnt have a table by a window, but still could see everything beautifully. You can really tell that they put their heart and soul into everything they did. From the waitstaff to the chefs, everything was done with a sence of pride. The food was marvelous. I had the Es cargo, and fllet minon. Both cooked to perfection, and the flavors were wonderful. It was funny because I had dropped a knife , and within seconds the waitstaff had picked it up, and given me a new one. I was not the only one who had, and the quickness of their actions, and the resurance that it was normal, was top notch hospitality. Thank you for making a first date a lifetime memory. Cant wait o come back.
Great view of Lake Michigan, impeccable service, great food. Loved it!
I ve been coming to Lake Park for over 50 years. And Lake Park Bistro since it opened. I ve enjoyed multiple visits and even wrote one very positive review. Recently this Summer my visit was terrible. The service was poor. Our waitress took 15 min to acknowledge us and she was slow. Never asked how are food was! When I spoke to the management they apologized took my number but never called me! An organization so large with a presence in Milwaukee can t call to acknowledge there error I don t see providing more to all their businesses. Which I ve been so many. On a positive side the food was great, room beautiful with one of the best views in Milwaukee! Hence the 2 stars!
The service here is top notch and the view of Lake Michigan in the dining room is amazing. Of course the food is wonderful as well. I loved my meal. The gnocchi was crispy on the outside with a melt in your mouth center, just delicious!
Was there for brunch. Wonderful service as always. Good food. Fresh croissants. The steak was made perfectly.
our meal was very enjoyable and atmosphere was comfortable. We met Joe bartolotta on our way out. He was very interested in how our meal was, and was very friendly and appreciated us coming in
Fully authentic French restaurant. Excellent typical dishes prepared at a high level. Excellent wine list, mostly French. Beautiful lake view if you can get in the front dining room.
Annual pig on the patio event, great time and even better food!!! Thank goodness for umbrellas and shade trees, it was a warm one today
Fantastic food. One of my favorite dining experiences in the area. The menu hits a large range of price points. I was not impressed by the drinks from the bar but that is minor compared to how good the food was. The interior gives off a good vibe. I was happy to be there, the view is probably fantastic during the day.
The website has an option to make reserves by submitting a form which was very convenient for me. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and my date and I were both impressed with the food and wine selections.
I was actually surprised at how much I liked eating here. I tend to think places are overrated and Lake Park Bistro was a great experience for my wife and I. We went during lunch right when they opened to avoid it being busy and had the Moules Marinieres, Soupe a l'Oignon, Croque Madam and Filet Mignon au poivre. All were cooked perfect and delicious.
Gregg and Laura were our servers and they were wonderful. The food was outstanding and it is my favorite Milwaukee restaurant.
Fabulous food, wonderful atmosphere and superb service.
A very romantic place. Top notch staff and excellent food overlooking the lake.
Great service and beautiful food, cant say much more!
Amazing experience, the waiter Chris and his partner rocked and we cant wait to go back! The lamb, filet mignon and you cant go french without a creme brulee which was was delicious as well!
Eat here
But a little expensive
I have been going to bartolotta's in Lake Park for more than 20 years and it is as wonderful today as it was when the doors open. A lovely evening as always.
Outstanding food, great views, and relaxing atmosphere. A lovely dinner.
The service and the food was impeccable! Thanks Chelsea and team for making our Sunday brunch experience fantastic!
In town from LA, and married to a French woman. Very good authentic offerings. Best moules frites my wife has had in a long time. Only item I would prefer is a French speaking staff, and outdoor bistro seating. My 8 year old daughter finished her food, and said the restaurant was under-rated.
We loved it. Great Service, Great food, Great location.
Always great, e-v-e-r-y visit!!!. Location is a charming, sophisticated place
I can't believe I've lived in Milwaukee for 30 years, and have never visited this restaurant.
We both had the most amazing French onion soup ever. I had hanger steak which was tasty, and my hubby had quail and skate (which is stingray) which he didn't care for.
The service was excellent and I got chocolate cake for my birthday. The decor is beautiful and the location is on Lake Michigan.
We will be back for the soup for sure.
The Salmon was fabulous. As was the chocolate mousse. A beautiful place to be served and cared for.
Great food; amazing service. Can't get better french onion soup. The lava cake is to die for.
You must make a reservation for the dinner room. We ate in the bar and the experience was fantastic. Food and customer service were outstanding.
By far one of the fanciest, most upscale restaurants in Milwaukee. Can't go wrong at any Bartolotta's establishment. My dad's favorite restaurant!
Ooh la la! Beautiful setting, excellent service , wonderful food!!
All time favorite restaurant. For and service are amazing.
I went here on a double date last weekend and loved it! It was a busy Saturday night but we did not have a wait with our reservation. There was a coat check before you enter the main dining room which is very convenient during the winter. Plenty of parking, which is always something I highly appreciate when dining in Milwaukee. The guys had the ribeye steak, the girls had the filet mignon, and we all shared an appetizer of tartare. If you like tiger meat during Christmas you'll probably love the tartare! I personally thought it was one of the best appetizers I've ever had and the waitress demonstrated the proper way to fold the egg into the meat. The filet mignon was incredibly tender and the guys praised their Ribeyes as well. Every year we choose a new higher end restaurant in Milwaukee to try on our double date and Bartolottas is easily my favorite.
Awesome ambiance and view of the lake. Its a French cuisine with few veg options. But you come here for the ambiance.
A perfectly charming setting to have a perfect meal or just a drink at the bar.
Oh my goodness! I cannot say enough about this place..its a piece of heaven, and paris rolled into Wisconsin! The fare is delicious, with bold and subtle flavors. And some old french cuisine favorites. The hanger steak and frites, while simple is probably the best I've ever had. The staff is warm and knowledgeable. And the ambience and view is inviting, beautiful and serene.
Dined here with family, a wife and two kids ages 11 and 8. Not sure who raved more about our visit :) The escargot, mushroom salad and halibut that the adults shared were amazing and kids raved about children sized steak and grilled chicken portions. Our server was amazing and even the kids commented on a prompt and attentive service. Was totally worth trip from Chicago.
Only reason I didn't say 5 stars is because I only had a drink. No food. But the atmosphere, beverage, and service was excellent! My favorite was the beautiful walking area around the building. Took lots of pictures!!!
A very good restaurant with views of Lake Michigan. Pretty expensive but is a nice place to celebrate a special occasion. Plenty of parking. A nice high-end restaurant.
Super beautiful setting. Nice and kind wait staff. Gave us special treatment on our anniversary. Will be back!
The experience was wonderful. The employees were outstanding. I would recommend that everyone visit and enjoy the food and atmosphere.
Outstanding food and service in a beautiful location overlooking Lake Michigan. Worthy of more than 5 stars.
My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Lake Park Bistro on a Friday night. The service was excellent, the food was fantastic (highly recommend the grilled salmon!), and the price, while not cheap, didn't break the bank either.
Excellent quality food, attentive staff, wonderful wine and cocktail offerings
Great place for a special occasion. Food and service was outstanding.
Exquisite food and world class tastes! Very kind wait staff! Anything we needed or wanted was offered. Very friendly! The morel dinner event was fantastic!
We enjoyed a lovely birthday celebration brunch at Lake Park Bistro. I hadn't been there for several years, but it was a wonderful as in the past. The food is French-influence and on the pricy side, and delicious. Our group had croissants, almond raspberry stuffed croissants, cassoulet, eggs benedict, pain perdue (aka delicious french toast on brioche bread) baked onion soup with a nice cheesy crust on top, and poached salmon. They use Valentine coffee, my favorite! The atmosphere was warm, as were the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We were able to spend time visiting, eating, and enjoying our group. We will be back.
Great food, with traditional French style. Nothing earth shattering in terms of flavor combinations, but an excellent preparation of traditional French cuisine. Both scallops and rainbow trout were cooked perfectly. Service is ok for the price, but could perhaps be a bit more attentive at times.
Our company held the Holiday Party here and both the service and food was just excellent. If you are seeking an interesting site for just two or one-hundred, do not hesitate to give them a look.
Always amazing food, staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The creme brulee is a must!
Best dinner out in years. Nothing snobbish about it.
So so good. As always. Everything we ordered was tremendous. Drinks, first courses, main courses, desserts. So so good! Thank you thank you thank you
Absolutely Amazing food!! Waiter was attentive. Loved the Brunch menu. They are open for afternoon brunch, one of only 2 places to go after college graduation!! I called over 20 restaurants to do a 200pm luncheon and all were closed except Bartolottas and a cafe that did t take reservations it was 1st come last served. Was sooo grateful they would take our reservation!!
We had my bridal shower here... And it was beyond reckoning. Food: delicious. Space: adorable. Staff: wonderful.
My husband and I went to Lake Park Bistro on a Friday evening. Our reservations were at 7:00. We were seated immediately and from the moment we sat down our experience was out of this world. Our servers, Stephen and Omar, could not have More
Really good cheese curds, a staple for wisconsin, as well as a wide choice of food for a good price.
Wonderful cuisine, loved the scenic views of Lake Michigan. It's an exciting place for special events!
Great food, wonderful atmosphere and knowledgeable and attentive staff.
Had dinner at Lake Park Bistro last night and will say the food was excellent, but when spending that much it has to be great. Still can't get past the paper tablecloths though - felt so tacky, like something you'd see on the table at Applebee's or Uno's or another chain restaurant, not at one of Milwaukee's presumably best! Why not get the white linens we're paying for? Are you trying to say that the French eat on torn sheets of paper? I can't believe that. And your tag team of waitresses that brought our food gave every plate to the wrong person - even the wine! Not a big deal to say, "no that's hers", but you shouldn't have to when you're paying for exceptional dining. I'd hazard Lake Park Bistro has lost something and should take a close look at their dining experience to ensure it's worth the price.
Great fine done experience. Probably one of the best in Milwaukee
Gourmet food, great service, nice views of Lake Michigan, and classic restaurant ambiance. Menu is diverse enough to have something for everyone. Prices are high, but fair considering the quality of cuisine. Ample parking.
Been here twice. First time got veal cuttlets, not good or worth it. Second time got the menu de chef. Four delicious courses. Probably the best meal I've ever had! Definitly go with the specials or chef menu. You'll pay, but it will be very tasty. Service and atmosphere were top notch both times. Drinks were also very delicious. This place is pricey, paid 180 for two people with two drinks and a cheap half bottle of wine. That said it was a special occasion and worth every penny!
They set the service standard and it's a high bar. Excellent French cuisine and enjoyable dining experience
No really a top restaurant. This restaurant has declined tremendously over the past years. Better to look for other options. Very sad of our experience yesterday at Lake Park Bistro. The beginning was good, drinks and appetizers were what you'd expecte at a restaurant like this one. Ordered the main course, and very soon de food was ready. However, the order was not correct, the presentation was not up to par. Most disappointing was the service, no one cared to check if our food was fine or if we needed anything. 30 minutes later, after we stoped eating and had great frustration, someone came and check on us.
Again, very poor customer service and disappointed of this French Bistro cuisine. You will pay for the location but we should have low expectations around the food and the experience.
Valentine's day, and neither the food quality nor the service were lacking at *all*. Filet to die for. And a damn good Manhattan variant to boot.
The food here was absolutely amazing and the wait staff were very friendly. Had a great time
Food was good. I love ambiance, BUT service was bad. Waitress didn't check on us even once after she took order....
Also I did not like idea of one pease of bread ... I am used to having bread on my table rather than bread sitting in bascet in busy room where everyone is passing by bread and breath and sneeze over it...
Throw back dining experience. Amazing food, great service, and great location. I felt like it was back 50 years.
Excellent food, decadent desserts.
Great place for a family gathering.
