    Very pleasant experience with Sunday brunch—service was excellent and the views of Lake Michigan were outstanding. While the brunch menu is somewhat limited, the offerings were well prepared. This was our first experience with the brunch and I wish we had been forewarned about the special menu—thought that I had done due diligence re the menu on Open Table, but it was very different. I do recommend this restaurant.

    We come very frequently to LPB because we have consistently good experiences. We didn't have a bad experience this time per se, but two things could have been better. First, I ordered the goat cheese tart which I have had several times before. This time, the bottom crust was so tough that I could barely cut it with a knife. A knife, by the way, that was taken from me after my salad course and was not replaced, so I had to borrow one from another table because our server was not in sight. Literally I could barely cut the crust, it nearly went flying off the plate from the force I needed to use to try to break it...I sent it back. Secondly, I was celebrating my birthday tonight. When the server asked for dessert orders, I ordered the profiteroles which I was very excited about. When the dessert finally arrived, she brought the chocolate torte instead. When I told her I had ordered the profiteroles she said that they were coming after and this was the "comped" birthday dessert. Well, I didn't want TWO desserts...I just wanted my profiteroles. C'mon LPB. Really? You can't just give the birthday girl the dessert she actually wants? For the amount of money we have spent over the years there it seems a little outrageous not to give the customer the preferred dessert. It would have been better not to bring a "free" one at all.

    1st time back since Covid era and was truly impressed with the improvements. We swore we would never go back after our Covid service which was insulting at best. I’d recommend giving Lake Park Bistro another chance.

    Always a great experience. They do need to revisit their menu…an update would be appreciated. That said, the leek soup was very good and the folks there are terrific

    Excellent food and service. For a quieter dinner, avoid the lakefront room. When will this restaurant open again for lunch?
