What our guests are saying
I found this full service restaurant to be a hidden gem. There's a wide selection of appetizers and main courses along with some pub favorites offered. Be sure to look at the specials menu as well. My take out order was freshly prepared and delicious. My server was also welcoming and helpful. Come hungry as portions are on the large side. There's plenty of dining available and looks to be a good place to have gatherings.

The food was fantastic and very creative for a bistro. We loved the smoked meats!! Well done. The service was impeccable and we even spoke with one of the owners, Judy, who was one the kindest people we’ve ever met. Best food and service in Appleton!

Very good food, excellent customer service, and the best part, I’d consider it a hidden gem since you can actually get in on Saturdays without a reservation.
