- KKevinVIPWisconsin •17 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe reservation process was a breeze, walked in and was greeted and seated promptly. The server, Mike B. was attentive and courteous, I even made mention to the manager upon leaving that he was outstanding. The dinner was exquisite, mouthwatering good. This is one of our favorite dining spots. Thank you for the Valentine's Day dinner. Best part, I didn't have to do the dishes. It was a bit drafty sitting so close to the door...More infoRye RestaurantPrice: Expensive• American• Appleton•4.8

Discover Appleton
Appleton, Wisconsin, may have begun as a simple fur-trading post, but this riverfront city has blossomed into an exciting dining adventure. Much like its roots where the trade routes brought people together, you can find an exciting mix of cuisines here, including German, Greek, Mexican, and Italian. Typical of Wisconsin cuisine, you'll love the fish fries available in Appleton, but be prepared as many places have a long wait for this popular Friday night fare. Farm-fresh eggs, locally-sourced vegetables, and grass-fed beef are prevalent across the landscape of this culinary scene. It's also easy to find finely crafted local brews paired with Wisconsin white cheese curds for a fun evening out. To reminisce about days gone by, several restaurants in Appleton offer Prohibition era drinks paired with organic, non-GMO food.
