I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere and PHENOMENAL food! The chef who creates the recipes is truly a genius and the presentation was truly beautiful. I had the wagyu burger which was fresh and not heavy or greasy- perfection! My husband had the root beer braised short ribs which were SO tender and flavorful. We ended the meal by sharing the winter bread pudding which was truly the best dessert I’ve ever had! Not overly sweet but just sweet enough with the ice cream on top. Will definitely be eating here again!!!!
The steak was perfection 👌 the drinks were well made and consistently taste the same. Some restaurants you ordered a drink and the next one taste different or too strong. Their bartender needs a raise. The only thing we were very disappointed on that at 8pm they ran out of the ribeye and for new years eve and the fact it's a menu option normally, to run out is insane to us. The homemade desserts are so delicious. We will be back to enjoy 😉
If you Want the perfect steak, eat here! If you like medium steak but you never order it because nobody knows how to cook it, eat here! I’m not lying when I say their steaks are the most tender and delicious steak you will ever have. Buttery, flavorful, tender, melt in your mouth perfection. Also the cheese curds, slap! I’ve dined in a few years ago, steak was busy as god then. And then currently We ordered take out while across the street at a hotel. Order was accurate and ready on time for pickup. Nice and fresh!
Had a great time there. Service is outstanding, food was great. Pork chop was excellent and flavorful, very juicy and tender. We tried the scallops and they were delicious. Pork schnitzel was cooked perfectly however a bit plain. Overall it was great!
Heard about this place from multiple people. Figured we would try it.
I got the root beer short ribs with a root beer to drink.
The root beer is absolutely phenomenal.
Mashed potatoes and the glaze were also very good.
The short ribs were a good cut of meat but no flavor. Was expecting a lot since their root beer was absolutely phenomenal.
Wife got local mushroom ravioli. With a coke.
She absolutely loved it. Great flavor great textures. If she had to complain about something it was slightly El dente for her pallete. Raving about it 2 days after we visited.
Wait staff was a bit on the slow side. Food took quite a while to come out with the amount of people in the restaurant.
Definitely will go back tho.
Got to explore Appleton for a couple of days and I must say I was happy to come across this restaurant. The service provided was great and the food was great!
We started off with some Oysters - Raw and Grilled. We were super excited for the grilled oysters as we never find any without cheese being on it. It is a must try although we personally enjoyed the raw oysters as the sauces that came with it was tasty!
I had ordered the salmon with couscous, scallops and ended the night with some tasty desserts - crème brûlée!
If you’re in this area certainly check it out!
I went to Rye restaurant located at 308 W College Ave in Appleton, Wisconsin.
My family and I had a great time in Wisconsin this past week. One of the most famous dishes in Wisconsin is cheese curds! So starting off strong we got the Scrays cheddar cheese curds. These came with tarragon ranch dip and were a hit 9/10.
We also got the New England crab cakes because we had to see what these were like being from New England and all. We were skeptical at first but these actually weren’t bad. These 3 crab cakes had a warm sweet corn and pepper relish dressing and a truffle creme sauce 8/10.
For entrees we got the Irish beef and stout stew 6/10. This was a traditional Irish stew with mashed potatoes and a puff pastry. I think the cinnamon in the dish was a bit overpowering but overall still tasted good.
We got the roasted sweet corn and cheddar risotto This had red peppers, poblano peppers, chipotle basil marinade and onions. This was very rich and satisfied all risotto cravings 8/10.
We got the pork schnitzel which had truffle aioli, citrus arugula, tomatoes and a fried egg on top! The egg was a nice touch to this dish and complimented the pork well 7/10.
Finally, our star dish of the evening was the mushroom ravioli. This had rich and creamy alfredo sauce and used locally sourced mushrooms. I think the only thing that was missing was a tad more truffle flavor 9/10.
Make sure you have a reservation for this spot because it can get pretty busy-and for good reason too! Put this on your list next time you are in Wisconsin.
Food: 8/10 Affordability: 7/10 Ambiance: 7/10
I definitely recommend this place! Beautiful place, clean (including the restroom), comfortable seats and luminosity!
Coming to food, you have to taste this Whisky Bacon Shrimp, it’s incredible good! Coms with 5 shrimps and 2 breads (you have to dip the bread in the sauce 🫠).
We chose Filet of Beef and we agreed this values the expensive price. The sauce where it’s mixed the potato’s and kale is very tasty! My husband asked for medium and I took a picture to show how beautiful was this point! I could not eat all, so for both of us the amount was enough.
Very good service!
