MILWAUKEE, July 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bartolotta
Restaurants, the premier restaurant and catering organization
the Greater Milwaukee region, is
now welcoming guests to its newest location, The Commodore – A
Bartolotta Restaurant. Developed within an historic waterfront
property on Nagawicka Lake, and was most recently the Seven Seas
for nearly four decades, The Commodore is a multi-level,
multi-purpose fine-dining restaurant and event destination perched
above the lake with picturesque views of the water and nightly
sunsets.
"The Commodore – A Bartolotta Restaurant, while contemporary,
takes inspiration and is dedicated to the legacy and rich history
of Nagawicka Lake and Lake Country," says The Bartolotta
Restaurants Owner and Co-Founder Chef Paul
Bartolotta. "We are excited to unveil this two-year project
and bring this iconic property back to life. We view this as a
long-term commitment to the Lake Country community as we are now
custodians, building new legacies and memories for generations to
come."
"We look forward to greeting our guests with the 'hospitality
heart' that they have come to know and love from The Bartolotta
Restaurants."
Developed within a 122-year-old waterfront property that first
opened in 1902 as Hasslinger's Pleasant View Hotel and Resort, The
Commodore honors its past with unique and thoughtfully designed
dining and event spaces that pay great tribute to the past, with
contemporary classic touches that will carry the destination
decades into the future.
On the upper level is the catering and special events space,
ideal for a wide range of occasions, from intimate gatherings to
grand galas, weddings, meetings, conferences, and more. The
Grand Heritage Ballroom, named after the property's era as
Heritage on the Lake & Spirit of '76 Resort & Disco, can be
divided into two ballrooms. The Baldwin Lounge, a private
room anchored by a beautiful fireplace named for former owner
Dave Baldwin, offers unparalleled
views of Nagawicka Lake. The Nagawicka Suite serves as a
bridal hospitality suite.
On the main level is the restaurant, featuring several dining
rooms with beautiful views of the lake. Paying homage to the
property's history, the private dining rooms, Margo's and
Pepper's, are a nod to the once-famed "Margo's Pepper Tree"
restaurant, which operated at this location from 1976 through 1978.
The first floor also features a large bar with indoor and patio
seating.
Outside, the Pleasant View Pavilion offers a charming
outdoor space echoing the original Pleasant View Hotel &
Resort. The Garden provides a serene outdoor retreat, and
the Fountain Patio is a quaint space next to the Pavilion,
perfect for small receptions and ceremonies.
An exclusive members-only social club, Club 1902, will
debut at a later date and will be located on the lower level. The
club will offer the most elevated and bespoke experience on the
property.
The Commodore – A Bartolotta Restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday, from 5 p.m.
to
9 p.m. Reservations can be made at thecommodoredelafield.com. For more information about
