TESTIMONIALS
"My daughter had her wedding reception at Lake Park Bistro on October 18th. Because of the tireless efforts of Lindsay Schuemann the entire event was perfect. Lindsay guided us in our decision making throughout the process. The day of the wedding I pulled my hamstring, rendering me wheelchair bound and useless! Lindsay served our table extra appetizers and I couldn’t join our guests on the patio. She gathered table arrangements for me at the end of the reception. Her kindness never ended and was appreciated by all."

I cannot thank you and the staff at Bartolotta’s enough for a wonderful evening for my Mom. Everyone is still talking about the GREAT SERVICE and Fabulous Food! Thank you for helping me make the evening a great success! I could never have done it without you. You are a true gem and Bartolotta’s is lucky to have you. We always try to return when we are in Milwaukee and maybe my daughter’s wedding will be next. Thank you ever so much."

"Hi Lindsay,
Thank you for the exceptional experience we had with Lake Park Bistro. Your location couldn’t have been more ideal for our business meeting, and the service was superb. The variety of services and menu available made it easy to customize to fit our gatherings size and budget, and of course the view was spectacular! We can’t wait to host an event with you again in the near future!
Best, Mary Nowak

"Lindsay,
Thank you again for arranging our program this past week. The Bartolotta Restaurants always exceed expectations. We had a wonderful program and the service and food were perfect. Milwaukee is so fortunate to have such a great offering of restaurants from the Bartolotta’s. The food is remarkable, but again and again it is the level of service that blows us away. We also own a business (health club) and find that good staff makes the difference, but they are hard to find—anyone can come and build a bigger, fancier building, but the staff is what makes the difference in the evening. Whatever you are doing to train the staff, you are doing it better than anyone else… so, thank you for providing Milwaukee with unmatched dining experiences! Look forward to working with you again in the near future. Thanks!"

"Dear Ms. Schuemann,
My congratulations to your chefs and service team on our Board of Directors’ dinner held at your restaurant on May 13th. The food and service were outstanding and were thoroughly enjoyed by all. Our Board members travel from all parts of the country and have been in positions, or are in positions, where good food/service is something they expect. Their comments regarding Lake Park Bistro were such that you exceeded their expectations.
Also, I must compliment you on the seating arrangements and private room. These factors, along with the food and service, contributed to a wonderful Board dinner.
Sincerely, Curt Culver, CSC/mp"
