Best Cocktail Bars in Lake Geneva

Paul Bartolotta hit a home run with this one! All the newspaper , magazine articles, and social media ,, everything you saw prior to the opening, doesnt do justice to the experience of High Stakes! Fasten your seatbelts, you’re stepping into a unique dining experience! From the moment the hostess Marie welcomes you with exceptional enthusiasm you know you’re in for something special!!  The decor is exquisite, A visual treat! The restaurant was packed the night we dined, and Marie moved effortlessly through the restaurant as the obviously well trained staff did their job with such finesse & joy! Their detailed explanation made every dish on the menu come alive, and honestly hard to choose! Where do I begin to describe the food?? the scallops , salads, filets ,, sauces, breads, every bite a delight, , right up to the last bite of pistachio gelato!  We have had the pleasure of eating at exceptional restaurants, both here and abroad,, Unequivocally, in every way , the experience at HighStakes is beyond 5 ⭐️!! You will be swept away! 

Broad menu of appealing dishes served in varying sizes so sharing is advisable. The service is always at a high level. The quality of the food is unmatched on the North Shore.

Took my SIL for dinner and she loved it. Cocktails were wonderful and the food was great. Will definitely be coming back. Great place to take new people to.

Incredible food and fantastic service. Definitely will return to try more amazing food and drinks

The food was fantastic- we skipped dessert & opted for extra tapas. Don’t miss the patatas bravas- DELICIOUS. Great atmosphere- my husband & I took our adult daughter (early 20s) who is a pastry chef & culinary foodie- and she loved it. Judes would be great for a date night, couples night, or night out with friends!
