    I want to start by saying the commodore is one of the most beautiful restaurants I've been to. It was absolutely wonderful being able to look out at the lake while having dinner. All the food we had was good, and that staff was all friendly and attentive. The reason for my 3 star rating comes from the lack of vegetarian options on the menu. There was little to no options on the menu for me to order. I had gotten lucky when we had went because the soup of the day happened to be vegetarian. When going to nicer places I expect at LEAST one option that isn't a salad that I can order. Although the food and atmosphere was good, I most likely won't be back unless the menu changes.

    The potato pancakes were being replenished often.

    Tonight we enjoyed the Commodore Cares Friday Night Fish Fry. This evening the chosen charity was The Food Pantry of Waukesha County. $3 of each dinner was donated here, which I really appreciate. Other evenings throughout Lent will support different organizations. For $30 we enjoyed a wide-ranging buffet which included clam chowder, salad, potato pancakes, fish tenders, small red potatoes, pearl carrots, and a variety of desserts. We took our time and enjoyed each course, and also the ability to have easy conversations in a nicely quiet room. The Old Fashioned drinks were done well, and the entire evening was very nice. The fish buffet was held upstairs with a beautiful view of Nagawicka Lake. The tables are spaced apart nicely and the service was attentive. There is an elevator for those who need accessibility, as well as restrooms that are spacious for wheelchair access. There is plenty of parking.

    How The Commodore doesn't average a 5/5 on here is absolutely mind-blowing. One of the best restaurants I've been too in a LONG time!! Everything was truly impeccable. To start, the restaurant itself was a masterpiece. Completely re-done and absolute perfection. It was new, classic, elegant, and beautiful. It could not have been done better. The views are outstanding and we took a peak upstairs, which would be perfect for hosting a big event! The drinks were unreal!! And honestly, reasonably priced. It's hard to find a good mojito (I kinda consider myself a mojito snob), and theirs was top tier. Had a sip of David's brandy old fashioned sweet and I could have had 5 of them! Next, the service was 11/10. Everyone was so well mannered and had excellent serving skills. The pace of the meal was great too. This is a place you want to spend time at and not feel rushed. This was exactly how we felt. We were able to enjoy our drinks and even ordered another round! While we had our second round, they gave us a complimentary cheese plate! Made our whole night. Lastly, the meal. Wow, is all I have to say. This was my first time having Beef Wellington and let's just say this, I'm absolutely changed. I will indeed be craving this every day. I'm all about flavor and this was JAM packed with the most delicious savory flavor ever. I had more than my dad, which literally never happens that's how good it is. I had some of David's Filet Oscar and they did not cheap out on the crab! It was next level!! Please for the love of food, GO TO THE COMMODORE!!!

    Chocolate cake. Our compliments to the pastry chef.  White chocolate medallion.   We also enjoyed strawberry sorbet.

    Phenomenal dinner this evening at The Commodore. The building is beautifully designed and decorated. An East Coast refined atmosphere without being stuffy. Kevin's service team were attentive and made sure our dinner was a memorable experience. We started with our choice of water service sparkling or plain. We enjoyed fresh and crisp Mojitos, Camus wine and Butterfly Kisses (Arnold Palmer) mocktails. Bread service was warm, homemade with fresh butter medallions. Two of us enjoyed the outstanding Filet Oscar. 8 oz Prime Filet topped with Fresh Lumb Crab Meat, Bearnaise Sauce served with Asparagus and Whipped Potatoes. Another enjoyed Braised Lamb Shanks with Cauliflower, Farro, and Huckleberry Jus. All meals were perfectly prepared with the highest quality ingredients. The atmosphere is classy. The west facing windows offer a stunning view of Lake a Nagawicka. This evening the lake was covered in snow covered ice. Our 5pm reservation was early enough to enjoy a leisurely sunset. The Commodore is an outstanding dining experience we look forward to sharing with family and friends.

    Love what they have done with this restaurant! The renovation is such an upgrade. It's so bright and the natural light coming in is beautiful. The location has always given guests a spectacular view of the lake. The menu also got an impressive upgrade as well featuring classics and modern twists. The staff was a well orchestrated production and everyone was on top of every little detail. Can't wait to dine again!

    was excited to try the latest Bartolotta restaurant, and see how they renovated the space I've formerly been to. the exterior and interior is both BEAUTIFUL, stunning simple and classy designs, this would be a beautiful event space. we grabbed a drink at the bar before our table was ready. was pleased to find an entire mock tail section (thank you!) and lots of other classic cocktails my husband was excited about. you could tell the bartenders were super busy, they made a mention in passing they were understaffed and the bar tables would need to also come up to the bar. we were seated at a beautiful table with view of the windows; however, was too dark to see the lake I knew was there. we had three different waiters throughout the evening, all nice but you could tell still finding their flow... we were asked the same question many times and often immediately after each other. our table was near the bus station, and they kept sneaking through the side of our table by the wall which would startle us & felt a little off for their high end atmosphere. loved their crab and shrimp bisque, and also got the lobster for dinner. lobster was very nicely cooked and loved all the vegetables but it came out without the dumplings listed. we brought it up and they quickly added them but was surprised to see a this place didn't have someone on expo for quality control. we finished with the special butterscotch pudding which was INSANELY good. all in all, beautiful place, nice food, but they definitely have some kinks left to work out at the relatively new establishment.

I did not know this was the oldest supper club in Wisconsin, dating back to 1848! How have I not been before? Anyway, I was going for a walk with my gf, and we were talking about dinner ideas. Then I remembered seeing a lot in social media about Red Circle Inn, so I called and found out the bar seating was first-come-first-served, so we went straight there. Attire is casual, and the space is beautiful! Lots of great classic photos, pieces of history, with some signs of updates. We started with cocktails and apps: Sprecher Root Beer pork belly and classic supper club dishes Shrimp DeJonghe & French Onion Soup. All were delicious, but the French Onion Soup really stood out to me because the broth had so much flavor, and it was loaded with onions and a thick layer of cheese! My gf ordered the entree special, a bone-in glazed veal chop over mushroom risotto, and I ordered a 12oz cut of prime rib because supper club. Her risotto was cooked to the right consistency and her veal chop was tender and delicious (of course I tried her dish!). My prime rib was perfect! It had great seasoning on its own, and the jus served with it took it to another level. I think it was the best prime rib I've ever had, definitely my current one that I'll compare others to. It would have been smart to leave really full at this point, but we decided we couldn't pass on the Rhumchata bread pudding, and why not add tje dessert special Citrus Panna Cotta with fresh berries. Wow! Yes, we took home leftovers, and yes, we had to be rolled out, but it was worth it. We received excellent service from Quentin, and the GM Kyle was providing tours and history lessons, so we joined one. You need to go!

Bryant's is the perfect venue for an intimate wedding or small celebration, and having the outdoor seating area open gave guests another beautiful space to gather and enjoy the evening. The food was absolutely outstanding. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the appetizers - especially the incredible seafood and cream cheese appetizer with sweet chili sauce - and everything from the creamy risotto to the stuffed chicken was delicious and beautifully prepared. It was one of those meals people were still talking about long after dinner was over. What made the evening especially memorable, though, was the hospitality. Everyone was genuinely kind, friendly, and personable, making us feel less like customers and more like family. The owner was so gracious and even shared how much he appreciated my dad, which meant a great deal to our family. At the end of the night, they carefully boxed up all of the leftovers for us to pick up the next morning, and when we returned, we were greeted with smiles and hugs. It's rare to find a place that combines wonderful food with such genuine hospitality.

We ordered the Bruschetta and the Salmon with Lemon Risotto, both of them prepared very well. The food tasted very fresh, and the presentation was lovely. I also ordered the Bolognese because I love a good dish of it. This one did not disappoint. However, the meat pieces were small pea-sized bits of beef, which tasted good, but looked a bit odd. I would like to know why, but I was too busy enjoying the dish. It is my birthday and so I was offered either a free cocktail or a dessert. I love a good treat so the flourless cake was my choice. It was a very nice birthday present. I really look forward to our next visit. The menu has lots of options I want to try.

The instructions are very in depth but necessary. When is was time to start the creative process, my granddaughter knew just what she wanted to create and loved selecting all the parts to make it just as she wanted. Start to finish was about 190 minutes, but it could be faster or slower, depending on how your creative juices flow. In the end she was thrilled with her project and we sprayed it to keep it in position for the transfer to the kilns. In 7-10 days I will return and pick up the final project. Our final cost for a 6" square art piece came to $40. We can't wait! The cost is not super cheap, but you know exactly what you are paying before you start. The supplies are endless and we plan to return for other activities as soon as possible. We saw entire families enjoying themselves, and this is a great activity to do with all ages, young children to adults. The options for art projects are: Paint Your Own Pottery, Glass Fusing, Acrylic Paint Projects and Board Art. The Clay Hand Building is now offered only in a class session. Stop in and take look.

Can't say enough good things about the whole process from start to finish. Took about 7 days to have the project fired and ready for us to pick up. Our ornaments are beautiful on our tree.
