    There's so much to love about The Commodore . . . Bartolotta's has thoughtfully reimagined the architecture and design - investing handsomely to imagine a space that marries history and grandeur with a contemporary and chic feel. It's an escape from reality enhanced by a beautiful lakeside setting. Our wait team was friendly and attentive. While the pace of service was somewhat slow, we preferred lingering over a rush. My daughter's lamb shank was luscious - a delight. The halibut was delicious. The "ode to Jack Weissgerber" offering of wiener schnitzel was lacking in interest - not living up to a vision of wiener schnitzel that one of our diners recently enjoyed in Salzburg. We had a lovely table -- the U-shaped elevated booth overlooking the dining area and out to the lake. Our main concern - and it's one that I've experienced frequently at other Bartolotta restaurants - is the "beyond energetic" and off-the-charts noise level. . . . uncomfortably so to prevent table conversation that didn't require elevated voices and often a request to repeat what was being said among the four of us. Sadly, the frustrating of conversing in this way detracts form the overall experience. We encourage Bartolotta's to consider ways to address this - perhaps acoustic panels or other environmental treatments that can absorb and soften the noise level. Overall - a festive and fun experience - overshadowed by the hindrance of uncomfortable noise level.

    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.

    What a gorgeous setting…and the food was exceptional. We live in Lake Geneva, otherwise we would dine there regularly. Can’t wait to return.

    Service was just slow. Maybe we had an off day. Everything else was great.
