Perhaps it was…read morebecause we dined in the middle of May on a chilly, but sunny evening, but the gorgeous place was empty. The Commodore is a beautiful restaurant. Completely redone by the experienced folks with the Bartolotta Group, the space is a knock-out! My spouse and I arrived early and grabbed some drinks at the expansive bar overlooking the lake. The staff was warm and engaging, and I'm difficult, asking tons of questions and making irreverent comments. They rolled along, laughing and adding to our good time. I'm always wary in Lake Country, because my politics and affect differ from the majority, but the Commodore makes no distinctions. When our friends arrived, we grabbed a table and had a fantastic meal. Our Wiener Schnitzel was great, and our friends raved about the Beef Wellington. Service at the table was professional and well-trained. Maybe because I travel and have lived in several metropolitan areas, I found the prices more than reasonable for the gestalt experience. In fact, I think the Commodore is one of the best restaurants in the Milwaukee Metro. Bravo!

Other evenings throughout Lent will support different organizations. For $30 we enjoyed a wide-ranging buffet which included clam chowder, salad, potato pancakes, fish tenders, small red potatoes, pearl carrots, and a variety of desserts. We took our time and enjoyed each course, and also the ability to have easy conversations in a nicely quiet room. The Old Fashioned drinks were done well, and the entire evening was very nice. The fish buffet was held upstairs with a beautiful view of Nagawicka Lake. The tables are spaced apart nicely and the service was attentive. There is an elevator for those who need accessibility, as well as restrooms that are spacious for wheelchair access. There is plenty of parking.

My mom knows the owner, Meg, and she is such a wonderful presence!! The storefront itself is so cute, I love that it's in a little house and there's plenty of space inside for sitting, groups, and events! When we came on Saturday there was actually a baby shower happening in the main room and I thought the space was perfect for this. I ordered a glow smoothie, matcha latte, and a carrot muffin. The muffin was delicious - tasted very healthy but also sweet and was the perfect morning treat after a workout. The smoothie was also great and pretty filling. The matcha was amazing. I've had matcha at a few different places in Delafield and have not been super thrilled about them. This one was great and I would 100% recommend it - not too sweet and didn't just taste like oat milk. Meg told us that in order to serve this tea, the matcha company basically had to interview her and instruct her on the best ceremonial practices. I thought that the care the servers put into the matcha was really special. Overall, such a great space to stop by if you're in the area or are in need of a gathering place!! The servers and Meg are wonderful and I definitely recommend.

However if you make the fairway you are pretty much guaranteed a flat lie, which is nice. The condition of the course is top notch.

Except, of course, when I went in to the creek behind #14 green. The clubhouse is pretty nice too. There is a nice small bar downstairs and a larger one upstairs. I'm assuming the upstairs bar is mostly open for events and outings. The driving range is really nice too. There are practice target flags at various distances to help you practice from any distance.

A Tuesday night with a 6:00pm reservation, we were greeted by a smiling young lady who made sure our visit started off right; coats stored, did we want a drink in the bar first, would we like a wine menu? All great questions. We were seated at a small table for two, which at first look seemed uncomfortable, but it was just fine. We had Old Fashioneds and were given a relish platter, which was mostly olives and a few small crackers with a spread, all very supper club traditional. We then ordered the Exotic Mushrooms, where the crispy ciabatta toast was a nice combination for this unusual appetizer. It was a big order, so we actually took some home. The House Signature Overnight Prime Rib was our choice with mashed potatoes and horseradish sauce on the side. These were done to perfection (medium rare) and a good size. My only changes would be a little less au jus with the Prime Rib. It was swimming on the plate and looked a bit overwhelming. Our server was Christine M., and to say she made our meal wonderful from start to finish is an understatement. She obviously enjoys her job and knows how to make everyone feel welcome, which goes a long way towards a great meal. As we asked questions, she gently directed us to the best options, and her knowledge and attention to detail made our choices easy. Red Circle Inn did well when they hired her. As a surprise treat, I got a birthday ice cream sundae, which was delicious! Rich ice cream with just the right amount of whipped cream, chocolate, and sprinkles on top. Thank you for this treat! After this visit, I hope to return soon. The pricing was appropriate, and we left with enough food for another meal another day. Thank you, Christine! We always appreciate being treated well by a knowledgeable and friendly server. You made our evening.

They had everything from drag cars, race cars, antiques, restomods, restored, good condition, clones, stree rods etc etc. I really enjoyed walking the grounds and looking at all the cars as a car collector person my self. It's really cool looking at everyone's cars because everyone's taste is different so you get to see some really cool cars from so many manufacturers in one spot. Since no Yelpers have talked about the car show or left pictures I will show you what it looked like today.

The staff at Bristlecone Pines is top-notch -- friendly, attentive, and helpful. The pro shop staff was incredibly helpful when I needed to switch my clubs to left-handed. The folks who drive that glorious drink cart around are godsends (pro tip: stellar Bloody Marys here), and the bartender in the lounge is efficient and quick with a joke. Since I admittedly do not play much, I cannot compare the course to much else. But -- it is playable for a novice, there are four different tee boxes depending on your ability, and it's a short drive (20-25 minutes) from downtown Milwaukee should you need to take a "sick day" from work and hightail it out of the city. There are some challenging holes where the fairway can seem to drag on for a mile, and there are plenty of water and sand hazards to avoid. I suppose the ultimate measure of a place like this is "would you play here again?" Sure. The price is right, the course is nice, and if the swing isn't that great, there's always those Bloody Marys.

Blue Fancy (BF), unfortunately, did not meet our expectations. I don't think it's necessary to go…read moreinto detail listing all of the things that went poorly, and I, of course, want to give them credit for the things that did go well. Context: we are both from Wisconsin, but are currently living out of state with stressful, time-consuming jobs, which is why we wanted to hire a planner. Our budget was lower than what I'm guessing BF is typically used to working with (less than $60,000), so I'm not sure if that was a factor. We got married in Fond du Lac and most of BF's contacts/experience is in the Milwaukee area. We had a backyard wedding at our family members' homes (a small ceremony at one location and a larger reception at a second location) over a holiday weekend. We hired BF 1.5 years prior to our wedding date leaving plenty of time. Pros: -BF was very helpful with providing structure (a to-do list, timeline) and recommending vendors. -They were insightful when finalizing the rental company contract in terms of backyard wedding details that we would not have thought of. For example, generator needs, water hookups, etc. -Day of set-up. They provided us with 3 team members, which was incredibly helpful with setting up chairs, tables, a few decorations, etc. Cons: -All together, we had a total of 3 planners. Our first planner quit and our second planner had to take a step back due to a serious personal matter. This resulted in poor communication, confusion, and stress. It was often unclear who was taking lead on what and we felt the team did not have the bandwidth to actually manage our wedding. We constantly felt like we had to double-check everything and take care of things ourselves because it was unclear who was doing what and we did not want things to fall through the cracks. Despite this, things did fall through the cracks. For example, we did not finalize our catering contract until 1 month prior to the wedding, which ended up being $8,000 more than we originally agreed because we had no other choice. Additionally, the band that BF recommended pulled out 6 weeks prior our wedding. This was not their fault and they found a replacement within one week, but this was still stressful . -They seemed to take a 'copy and paste' approach as in they just replicated what they did for previous weddings instead of really listening to what was truly important to us. More of a you fit us instead of we fit you. For example, although they provided recommendations for vendors, we ended up having to find some on our own because their recommendations did not align with our preferences/budget. Examples: photographer, videographer, and hair & make-up team. When we mentioned wanting a videographer within a certain budget, we were told this was unrealistic and received no help. We did find a videographer within our budget and he did a great job! So happy we found him. -Poor attention to detail. This was pretty concerning and prevalent throughout the process. A couple of examples: (1) they neglected trash removal and only had solutions for the Milwaukee area when we brought it to their attention. We ended up coming up with a creative solution on our own; (2) at the rehearsal dinner, the lead planner did not know the location of where to tell the hair and make-up team to go the following morning (day of). In sum, we're hoping our experience was abnormal. Nonetheless, we never received an apology, acknowledgment, or a thank you for using their service or any sort of contact after the wedding, which we find unprofessional. We were extremely sympathetic to the series of events that were out of their control, but ultimately, the way it was handled was subpar and the planning process/day of execution was stressful. We wish them the best and hope things are improving.
