    One bartender for 300 people resulted in long wait times for pre-brunch drinks at the bar. Food was good but not worth the $60 price tag. Setting was beautiful as usual. Servers were friendly.

    As frequent diners at the Bartolata group's restaurants, we have always appreciated Lake Park Bistro's good service. However, our Easter brunch experience was disappointing. We were on time and table was ready . After being seated, waited for at least 15 minutes before a waiter greeted us and after pouring water, he introduced himself and let us know a waitress would be taking care of us together with him then disappeared. 10 minutes later A waitress eventually arrived with menus, and we promptly ordered drinks. Following another 20-minute wait, our drinks arrived, and we placed our orders Immediately ( it’s a preset menu with options for 3 courses, we ordered all 3 courses). It was noticeable that all surrounding tables received croissants/ bread and butter while they were waiting and we did not. Our bread arrived seconds before the first course, and the main course followed immediately. The dessert arrived shortly after the main course. We ordered espressos with our desserts, but the bill arrived with the dessert, without the espresso. The waiter inquired twice about the readiness of the bill within five minutes. I finally informed him that we required our espressos to eat with dessert before considering payment. We didn’t complain or make any fuss until these rushing payment. It was interesting to note that other tables that arrived before us were taking their time without ordering, there just placed the orders when we received our main course. I didn’t see anyone rushing them for sure they were still eating when we were asked to pay. The service was subpar, and we will not return for brunch for sure.

    We loved every moment of our Easter Brunch experience. From the moment we walked in where the hostess and her assistances greeted us with bunny ears on to being seated at a prime window table to the perfectly orchestrated service by an incredible team to the food….wow…the three courses of items to pick from were amazing. I enjoyed a crab bake, steak and fries for my main and a fruit tart for dessert. 5 of us had a sampling of a few of the items and everyone enjoyed them all. Thank you for making our day a memorable one.

    Lake Park Bistro continues to be my family’s go to place for celebrating special occasions. Steaks, fish, and poultry were all delicious as were apps and French onion soup. Chocolate mousse desert was also delicious. Service was attentive without feeling rushed.
