In a yacht club, the leader holds the title of Commodore — a rank earned through dedication, service, and time. The honor of the title carries forward: once a commodore, always a commodore.
We named this restaurant with that spirit in mind. For a property that has served this community in one form or another for more than a century, we see ourselves as stewards of a long tradition — leading by example, welcoming all who arrive, and building something worthy of the place we've been given.
This is The Commodore on Nagawicka Lake. We're glad you found us.

Some recipes are more than recipes. Beverly's Curried Shrimp & Crab Bisque is a Bartolotta family recipe honoring Beverly Bartolotta — the matriarch of the family and the heart behind so much of what this restaurant group has become.
Rich, warmly spiced, and deeply satisfying, it is available fully loaded with shrimp and lump crab for those who want the full experience. To us, every bowl is a tribute.
Come taste a piece of the legacy, make your next reservation today!
There is something about an old building that has been loved and cared for that nothing purpose-built can replicate. Our 120-year-old home above Nagawicka Lake carries that quality in every detail, in the architecture, the light, the feeling of settling into a room that has held countless evenings before yours.
We've taken great care to honor what this place has always been while making it something extraordinary. We think it shows.
