THE BARTOLOTTA RESTAURANTS ANNOUNCES FEBRUARY 4 REOPENING OF MR. B’S – A BARTOLOTTA STEAKHOUSE IN MEQUON

The Bartolotta Restaurants have announced a February 4 reopening date for Mr. B’s – A Bartolotta Steakhouse in Mequon. The North Shore favorite will resume indoor dining following the 2020 temporary closure with classic dishes on its menu – just in time for Valentine’s Day – and a renewed emphasis on health and safety for guests and employees.

“We have taken a careful and compassionate approach to every reopening, in an effort to serve the needs of our guests while going above and beyond state and regional guidelines,” says The Bartolotta Restaurants Owner and Co-Founder Chef Paul Bartolotta. “With our expanded takeout options, enhanced safety protocols, and acclaimed Executive Chef Amber Dorszynski returning to the kitchen, we look forward to welcoming Mr. B’s guests to the new era of The Bartolotta Restaurants.”

Mr. B’s in Mequon will reopen with adjusted days and hours of operation – Wednesdays through Sundays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. – and reservations will be required via the website. Additionally, The Bartolotta Restaurants is adding Mr. B’s to its takeout program, an exclusive partnership that allows guests to order restaurant-quality dishes and meals via online ordering service Tock for curbside pickup. 

The reopened Mr. B’s in Mequon will celebrate Valentine’s Day weekend with steakhouse-inspired dinner specials by Executive Chef Amber Dorszynski, including Maine Lobster Salad, 14 oz Wagyu New York Strip Steak, and Lemon Pots de Crème. Valentine’s Day specials will be available for dine-in starting February 12 through February 14, and guests can view the full menu and make reservations online.

The reopening of Mr. B’s comes on the heels of the reintroduction of Bacchus – A Bartolotta Restaurant, Bartolotta’s Lake Park Bistro, Harbor House, Joey Gerard’s – A Bartolotta Supper Club, Mr. B’s – A Bartolotta Steakhouse in Brookfield, and Ristorante Bartolotta dal 1993.
