We held our rehearsal dinner here & were SO thrilled with everything. Not only was everyone raving about the food, but the service was top notch and the view was so wonderful. Highly recommend for a rehearsal dinner! :)
Our wedding at Lake Park Bistro was absolutely perfect. We had a tented reception with cocktail hour on the gorgeous East Balcony with stunning views of Lake Michigan. The restaurant's white pillars were a perfect location for photos and the surrounding park offered more beautiful options all with in a walking distance. The staff was fantastic and our guests were thrilled with their prompt and friendly service. We also received many, many compliments on the food from our family and friends; even those ‘hard to impress’ said their meal at Lake Park Bistro was the best they’d ever had at a wedding. However, the best thing about Lake Park Bistro was working with Dan. He made us feel comfortable and welcome every step of the way and provided us with excellent advice to make our day fun and stress-free. Dan was clear in all of our communications and went above and beyond to host a meeting for myself and my other vendors. His honest feedback and recommendations helped make our day personal, special, and truly, the best day of our lives. We truly can not say enough about our wonderful experience at Lake Park Bistro, thank you Dan and team!!
We can't say enough good things about Lake Park Bistro! Our ceremony (on the front lawn) was beautiful, the brunch was incredible, the service was outstanding, and the outdoor space/park grounds was perfect for all the kids in attendance. Dan is a dream to work with (as was Whitney, before she transitioned to another Bartolotta's restaurant) - incredibly kind, extremely responsive, and very thorough. We felt like we were in good hands throughout the whole planning process and were so impressed by how smoothly everything went day-of, in no small part because of Dan and the wait staff's attentiveness and professionalism! An added bonus: because LPB is already beautiful without any help and is a full-service restaurant, we loved that we had minimal rentals, decorations, etc.
My husband and I had the most amazing experience with Lake Park Bistro. The entire staff was incredible but Dan really went above and beyond to make our wedding day amazing for us and our guests. He saw to every detail and some we didn't think of to make sure the night was memorable for everyone. Definitely a wonderful venue for foodies with gorgeous views year round! We would very highly recommend Lake Park Bistro as a wedding venue!
I cannot say enough good things about Lake Park Bistro and Whitney and the catering staff. Whitney was so helpful and went above and beyond coordinating my vendors, keeping everything running smoothly on the wedding day and keeping us on task with wedding plans. The venue is so beautiful and Canopies did an amazing job with the tent. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and our guests had a great time. I would highly recommend Lake Park Bistro to anyone looking for a great wedding venue!
Lake Park Bistro has first, amazing food, second, a gorgeous view of the Lake, and third, needs no decorating.
Beautiful setting with stunning lake view. Staff at Lake Park Bistro very cordial and easy to work with. The Lake Park Bistro event planner was fantastic at her job and made sure the event ran smoothly. We received great feedback from our wedding guests. Couldn't be happier.
Whitney and the Lake Park Bistro staff made sure our wedding day went smoothly. They were 100% accommodating with my dietary restrictions at the tastings and at the wedding- I had no issues at all! Our guests still rave about having the best wedding food they have ever been served.
And who wouldn't love the beautiful venue! Our summer wedding took place in the beautiful Lake Park in a beautiful tent alongside the building. It was a perfect day.
Lake Park Bistro was a natural and perfect choice for our brunch reception. We got engaged there and couldn't possibly think of holding our reception anywhere else. The food was fabulous, though I'll admit that we were a bit limited to their existing menu, as they weren't willing to customize much. But our contact Whitney worked with us on as many details as she could and did her best to make our vision come to life. The level of service was excellent, as expected. I was a bit disappointed that the audio system in part of the dining room wasn't working...unfortunately, it happened to be the part where we'd planned our first dance. Note to brides: double check that this has been corrected and that all is functioning properly if you plan music or to have toasts using a microphone.
My husband and I had a brunch wedding at Lake Park Bistro last June, and could not have been more pleased with the service throughout. Whitney is incredibly responsive and helpful; everything went off without a hitch that weekend. I would highly recommend Lake Park Bistro as a wedding venue; our guests raved about the venue and the brunch, including the bloody mary's and mimosas served. The scenery is idyllic - we were even able to move the party outside because of the nice weather! I was thrilled with the entire experience.
We held a reception in Milwaukee for our son and daughter-in-law, who were married in New Jersey a few months earlier. We no longer live in Milwaukee but knew that we wanted to hold the reception at Lake Park Bistro because it is one of our favorite restaurants. The food is always outstanding, the service is impeccable, and the setting – the view of beautiful Lake Michigan - is priceless. By having the event at lunch, rather than dinner, on a Saturday, we were able to have the restaurant – a lovely French bistro set on a bluff in Lake Park in a renovated park pavilion – to ourselves. All of the tables overlooked Lake Michigan. The event could not have been more perfect.
Whitney Sleiter, Lake Park Bistro’s Catering Manager, did everything to make the celebration luncheon unbelievably beautiful and special. She was so professional, so knowledgeable, and so responsive – the fact that we could count on Whitney was so reassuring since we lived out of town.
Everyone at the Lake Park Bistro provided outstanding professional service, with warmth that was striking. The setting and day were gorgeous. And everyone commented on the amazing quality of the food. Several people said that the trout was the best fish they had ever eaten.
We all adored the whole afternoon. We were so proud to introduce Lake Park Bistro and Milwaukee to our new daughter-in-law and her family at such a lovely, memorable event. It was exactly what we had hoped it would be and set the stage for the entire weekend.
As a postscript, we returned to Lake Park Bistro with some friends when we were in town a few months later. Whitney sought us out to say hello and greeted us so warmly, reflecting the Midwestern spirit of both Lake Park Bistro and Milwaukee.
My bridesmaids threw my bridal shower here as a surprise and it was absolutely fantastic!!
So very classy!!!
Phenomenal food and excellent service.
Extremely easy to work with. Very professional. Received many compliments not only on the delicious food, but the excellent Waite staff.
LPB staff and services exceeded my expectations and wowed all of our guests. Not only is the site beautiful, but the food was delicious, portions were generous, and the staff were polite and attentive.
We received so many complements from guests. Worth every penny.
Fantastic-We loved it our guests loved it-It was worth every penny!
Lake Park Bistro provided top notch service, exquisite cuisine and a lovely atomosphere for a beautiful wedding that we could not have been more happy with.
