    We have always had a good experience at Lake Park bistro. This was not the best experience. We had a 7:00 reservation and they were already out of one of the prefix menu items. Considering it was a limited menu, we were very surprised that they were out of a menu item this early in the evening and very unapologetic. There were also some other minor issues with cocktails and our bill which were corrected, but it definitely wasn’t a five star experience. Not sure we will be back.

    They were open during a blizzard when the rest of the city shut down. Quality and consistency is always amazing. Probably the best restaurant in Milwaukee.

    My first brunch and it was delicious. It’s a prix fixe and the portions are generous. I really enjoyed the rillettes de saumon, unctuous yet light.

    Great anniversary dinner. Need to read menu carefully as often things we aren’t familiar with - so the tasting menu gave us the opportunity to try new things.

    This had been my favorite Milwaukee restaurant for over 25 years. The food is still good but they’re now missing a lot of the little touches that used to make it a consistently memorable experience that justified the pricey meal.

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