Amazing food here! I had for starters the cheese curds, risotto balls, and crabcakes. For dinner, the fillet of beef and dessert the goat cheese cheesecake. Really cannot go wrong with anything here.

The menu is not normal ... in a good way. They have a Risotto ball to die for, cod, kale salad, duck, pork chops, etc. They have "normal stuff" but don''t stop there. This is not your run of the mill hotel offering. And I'm pretty sure the bartender had a grasp on craft cocktail/food pairings that needs to be further explored on my next visit. The wine list is better than expected and the service has always been stellar

We came here for my birthday dinner and loved the vibes. The food was delicious and our server was very attentive. Might add it to my top favorite restaurants in the area.

We don't get to Appleton that often. Staying across the street at the Paper Valley Hotel. Glad that we decided to have dinner at Rye (right across the street). Had reservations, got there a little early so we sat at bar and had a couple of their special Old Fashioned. Got great service and terrific drinks (Thanks Clause). Got seated at a nice spot, towards the rear. Spacious and not too noisy. We ordered several of the Sharable plates, Beet Salad, Crab Cakes, and Seared Ahi Tuna Salad. Each one was an amazing combination of flavors and textures. Hard to pick a favorite. We had room for dessert, so we tried the special Peppermint Dome. Again, an amazing choice. In total and excellent meal. We would definitely stop again.

I wish we would have gotten more pictures but things were quickly eaten as soon as they hit the table! Food was phenomenal, cooked perfectly, the scallop amuse bouche is one of the best bites of food you can get in the valley. Steaks cooked perfectly. My family and I don’t look it, but we love higher end dining and eat out quite frequently to find our favorites. George was the best server we’ve had BY FAR. Very knowledgeable and very nice, overall one of the best experiences we’ve had eating throughout all of Wisconsin.

My gosh I wish I went here before. My Internship final dinner took me here, and maybe it tasted a bit better because it was free, but it was really good!! The oysters were fire and I got some extra because my friend didn’t like them; I recommend the cooked ones instead of raw. French onion soup was amazing and filling, and my New York steak was perfectly cooked at medium-rare, although the rest of my party’s steak was quite a bit more rare than they asked for (medium). Overall great service and experience.

Beautiful dinner that was executed so nice from the beginning with friendly Sophia and Mira as hostesses. Mira was slammed and was able to get us a glass of wine with a big, beautiful smile. Claire, our server was very knowledgeable and knows the wine list and menu inside out with great recommendations. Have the French onion soup, filet, and red cabbage. You will not be disappointed. Will be back!

We recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Rye Restaurant. Have always heard wonderful things and our expectations were exceeded! The staff were inviting and friendly; Calum was our server and he was fantastic. The food was full of flavor. We had the seasonal dessert- a s’more’s brownie- SO GOOD (shoutout to Hannah, sous chef!!). It was a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend.

My boyfriend and I just went to Rye for the first time on Valentine’s Day, and we were absolutely blown away! Very rarely are we blown away by a restaurant, and this beyond exceeded our expectations!! The oysters were probably the best we have ever had, the ragu was amazing and the beef was perfect in the dish! The duck was perfectly cooked at medium rare, upon our request. The restaurant had a great ambiance and the staff were very informative and welcoming! We will definitely be going to Rye more often. We were blown away from the start of our experience with the drinks all the way until the end of our dinner with the amazing goat cheese cheesecake and complimentary heart macaroons for Valentine’s Day!
