    As I would expect from a Bartolotta restaurant, The Commodore offered an outstanding experience. All the staff and the service were impeccable. The food was fabulous, although my medium rare steak was a solid medium. It was still very tasty. My husband's rare was perfect. Beautiful setting on the lake, gorgeous decor and table settings. We look forward to going back!

    The service and ambiance were outstanding as was the food. We had a wonderful evening. There were many interesting choices on the menu, including some that were not overly expensive. They have a very interesting cocktail menu too.

    We sat for quite some time before our "main" server came to your table. And then it took even longer to actually receive the menus; I believe at one point Chris realized that we had still not received them. There was a table of 8 that arrived shortly after us in the area we were seated, and it because extremely loud; to the point we had difficulty talking to each other and being able to hear our conversation. There was a long wait for my after dinner drink, which I had asked for something different. I will applaud them for fixing what I had asked for because it did not taste good at all; however I would have hoped that the bartender would have come up with a drink that may have satisfied what I was looking for. I also applaud them for not charging me for that first after dinner drink that did not taste well. First time being there since I visited when it was Seven Seas in the 80's. Lovely decor' and all in all it was a nice experience.

    Beautiful venue, open to the lake. Service very much oriented to diners. Fried clams excellent, Oysters rockerfeller maybe could have been cooked a little longer. Watermelon gazpacho, sounds wierd but was excellent, would recommend trying it, especially on summer day. Meals of wienerschnitzel and lamb shank were cooked and plated beautifully. A lot of food. If one thing could be improved, albeit nit-picky… I’m a messy eater, reaching across the table and trying things, spilling some at place setting… in between courses maybe the service person comes by with scrupula to clean place setting. Otherwise The Commodore a flag ship Bartolotta in line with the Bistro in MKE. We’ll be back.

    Sat outside on the terrace - great views/ambience. Ordered a dirty martini - received a non-dirty martini, had to wait 15 mins to flag down the waitstaff, they then just brought olive juice to the table. Ordered the petite lobster rolls and received another lobster dish, so they had to remake the entree and then forgot to take off the incorrect lobster dish from the bill. For how expensive this place is, they have some work to do on the service. Disappointing considering the views are outstanding.

    We had a wonderful time, dining at lunch time at the Commodore! The view of Lake Nagawicka was Spectacular. The food and the service were outstanding. The decor was quite elegant. The staff went out of their way to make this a very special birthday for me! We will definitely dine at this beautiful restaurant again soon.
