They offer a complimentary appetizer of sauerkraut balls, but the staff didn’t inform us about this before we ordered a full serving. When she brought out the appetizer and mentioned it was free, it felt a bit misleading, especially since we had already ordered something we had never tried before. This came across as somewhat unprofessional and put a damper on the start of our dinner.

My taste buds were having a celebration. I took my girlfriend to this restaurant to celebrate her birthday, and I'm glad I did. Since she follows a gluten-free diet, I was pleased to find out that they have a dedicated fryer specifically for gluten-free customers. The haystack onion rings were incredible! I ordered a shrimp sandwich while she opted for a pecan salad. Both our meals were delightful, cooked to perfection, and we enjoyed them with a glass of wine. The waitress was wonderfully friendly, and even though the restaurant was busy, we didn't have to wait long for our food.

I chose the gluten-free perch dinner, and it was excellent. I also sampled the Ribeye, which was simply divine—tender and perfectly seasoned, truly a flawless dish! Our server, Ashley, was outstanding—she was efficient, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. We decided to try this restaurant on a whim, and now we’re eager to go back. Everything was amazing! I would give it ten stars!

The restaurant was bustling, and our server Megan was outstanding; our food came out surprisingly quickly. My wife and I shared a seafood platter featuring scallops, perch, haddock, and shrimp, accompanied by French fries. Every dish was delicious, even the coleslaw! I would have loved to have a Brandy Alexander after dinner, but I was just too full. This was our first visit, but we will definitely be back. Everything seemed to be running smoothly, and I was truly impressed!

The hot bacon dressing is incredible, striking the perfect balance between tangy and sweet. And be sure to save room for dessert! The Schaum Torte was delightful—the meringue was light and crunchy, and the raspberry topping was sweet without being overwhelming. It's the perfect way to conclude a wonderful meal! I highly recommend this place for a lovely evening out, and we will certainly be back!

I was disappointed by the salmon special; I expected it to be red in the center and flavorful, but it was dried out, chalky pink, and meh. But the French onion soup was excellent, and rhubarb bread pudding was awesome. And the food on past visits was great--even our kids loved it. We'll be back!

The cocktails are superb, and the ambiance is inviting and well-maintained. While the food is enjoyable, it leans towards the traditional and doesn't explore new frontiers—ideal for diners who appreciate familiar flavors. It tends to attract a more mature clientele, including many from Grandma's generation.

After reviewing the menu online beforehand, we were somewhat disappointed to learn that they don't offer their German menu on Fridays due to the fish fry. Understandable, as they need the fryers for the fish, but we were looking forward to trying the German. That said, the fish fry was great and we'd definitely come back if we're back in the area again to try the schnitzels. The kids menu also offers a larger variety than most kids menus and my kids were excited about the shrimp.

Cheerfully greeted by the hostess (Rhoda), seated promptly after having a cocktail in the lounge when our group arrived! Attentive and prompt bartender! waitress was pleasant, on task and not overbearing. Both the hostess and the waitress explained the specials in detail, which were delicious and presented beautifully. The whole experience was seamless from the time we arrived until we were finished with after dinner drinks. Definitely would recommend this great restaurant! Great job Mark, Rhoda and staff!

Friendly, fast service at the bar, great waitress (Maggie) and of course Mark himself who makes it a point to make sure everyone of his guests are happy.... and the food!! Hubby always gets the Sauerbraten but when he ordered the waitress informed him that the kitchen was out of it. Shortly after being seated Mark came over to the table and asked if hubby had ordered the Sauerbraten again as he knows it's his favorite. After hubby informed him that they were out he said I think a fresh batch is ready about now would you like that instead and of course hubby said yes, but only if it's no trouble. ..... Hubby got the Sauerbraten and he said it was perfectly prepared, I watched him cut it with his fork! Mark worked some magic! My steak and sauteed veggies were fantastic! One of our favorite restaurants in Appleton. We'll be back again and again!

The meal was amazing, probably the best we've had in a long time! The waitress was warm and inviting. read more The meal was amazing, probably the best we've had in a long time! The waitress was warm and inviting.
