“ Love this place for a special dinner. Food and service is excellent. Cannot beat the ambiance with a view to Lake Michigan. Has parking lot. ”

“ My colleagues and I routinely took out-of-town visitors to Lake Park Bistro for lunch before the pandemic because we liked the balance that restaurant struck between quality and price. Partly because it has not been offering lunch on weekdays since the start of the pandemic, I have not gone back to it until recently. Two of us showed up on a slow Sunday evening and found the place still elegantly decorated and offering impeccable service. Items on the Haute Bistro Menu sounded good to us that evening, and we ordered one set of dishes from the fixe menu plus two additional dishes from the A-La-Carte menu. The dishes we chose off the fixe menu were Crispy Confit Pork Belly, Pan-Seared Sea Scallops, and Walnut and Pear Stuffed Quail, plus Tarte Tatin as our dessert. The two additional dishes were Mushroom Soup and Roasted Monkfish Tail. Mushroom Soup (that day's special, which the server highly recommended) was truly decadent, and we both liked it a lot. Crispy Confit Pork Belly had very good flavors but was a bit saltier for our taste. The skin wasn't really crispy as indicated in its name, however. Pan-Seared Sea Scallops were cooked perfectly and had an excellent flavor profile. We found it to be the best dish we had that evening. Walnut and Pear Stuffed Quail was also delicious; the meat of the quail was tender and flavorful. Roasted Monkfish Tail was recommended by the server as "in season" when we were trying to decide whether to order the fish or the quail as our selection for 3rd course in the Haute Bistro set. We ordered the quail for fixe menu set and the monkfish as an extra dish. The description of the monkfish dish sounded very good, but it was not as flavorful as we expected. Perhaps the restaurant had a lot of fish in its fridge and wanted the servers to promote it? Overall, we very much enjoyed all the dishes, perhaps with the exception of Roasted Monkfish Tail. In addition, the servers were well trained and seemed to know what they were doing. We also ordered a glass of Bordeaux Superieur, which was very good. ”

“ Our waiter Brandon was such a nice guy and make our anniversary dinner special. We were greeted with a card and received champagne. The food was absolutely heavenly. The escargot was incredible. ”

“ I've been going to Lake Park Bistro for years, and just had to write a review after yet another incredible evening! I always recommend making reservations, and when you do, the staff is great at acknowledging any notes or special occasions in the reservation when you arrive. We had made a 5:30p reservation as we had a show downtown to catch at 730, and they were cognizant during service, but never pushy! Top favorite starters are the Oeuf Mollet salad (the truffle vinaigrette is to die for!), the Steak tartare (they mix it table side with the yolk!) and the steamed mussels (get extra baguette, and dip in the remaining broth!). The winter seasonal mushroom is a MUST of they have it! Baguettes are nice and crusty, and the fresh salted butter is YUMMY! I've done the scallops as a main dish if we go hard on apps, they are always perfectly cooked and so flavorful. Our go to is the Confot Canard (duck)! Always beautifully cooked, and the fruit gives the perfect balanced sweetness. We typically ask to swap out the lentils for a potato of some sort, no problem! Brussel sprouts are a worthy side, and save room for dessert! The creme brulee is always perfection, but don't skip past the 10 year tawny port ($14) and the chocolate mousse if they have it! Highly recommend for a date night, special occasion, or just a dinner night to spend quality time with who you are with over great food. Will continue to support this incredible restaurant and staff! ”

“ Another incredible meal at Lake Park Bistro! I had the Hangar Steak and Frites for the first time and was so glad I ordered it. The steak was juicy and cooked perfectly (I ordered it Medium with some pink). I got the herb butter on the side and can honestly say I barely used it as the steak did not need anything additional. The frites were nice and crispy. I dipped the frites in a side of garlic aioli, highly recommend!! I enjoyed my meal with a smooth glass of Pinot Noir, which paired well with the steak. I had a window seat and enjoyed watching the snow fall outside. And I love sitting in this room and enjoying the mood- romantic dim lighting with lamps and candles. The service here is always top-notch. I never feel rushed and the servers are always very attentive and friendly. Shout out to Morgan for being so lovely! ”

“ Food and service were amazing. We came to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary and the staff made us feel very special with a handwritten card and champagne toast. The food was phenomenal- we got the French onion soup, coq au vin, ribeye, and finished with an Earl Grey cake. Extensive wine list also! Would definitely recommend this spot for a special occasion. The view of the lake was lovely. ”

“ What a great experience tonight at Lark Park Bistro! Exceptional service with Haley S. Guiding us through menu selections and the wine list! Always there with a smile and advice For dinner we enjoyed mussels as an appetizer, the steak fritters, coq au vin, and the duck confit. Everything prepared perfectly and served in a timely fashion. We were able to be seated overlooking the lake which was nice considering I celebrated my wedding in the same room 6/29/96. Again thank you to the staff and a shoutout to Haley.S. ”
