Ambiance: cute, cozy and intimate lighting which is perfect date night vibe and there were still some bigger parties accommodated. Arrived and it was packed and still not very noisy. Service: Nick was awesome! Knowledgeable, friendly and personable. There's a level of pride in the work that he does that screams unreasonable hospitality (IYKYK) and paced my courses out beautifully. Wine recommendation was on point and attention to others didn't lapse. All tables felt his presence. Food: House salad was easily the best red wine vinaigrette that I've ever had. The garlic was the perfect kick. Scallops appetizer were sweet and perfectly cooked through and the spinach/basil cream sauce that was under and surrounded the dish was amazing (and I don't or at least didn't think I liked basil!). For dinner I hate the halibut and mushroom risotto which was cooked to perfection. The risotto does have onions which I missed and didn't care for but they took care and offered me a separate bed which I thought was incredibly nice. For dessert I had the chocolate cake which was delicious. Coffee/espresso hints and perfect texture of cake to filling. I will be back for sure!

I looooove this place. Best Italian in Appleton! We got the caprese salad special which was…read moreamazing. So fresh, I could have had three orders. I didn't take a picture of my pasta but got the red sauce rigatoni which is always my favorite. Rich, creamy, with al dente pasta and fresh mozzarella. Service was great and food came very quick.

Everyone who works there were very pleasant for the interactions. We got seated on the upper level and had a great view of the water. Overall inside ambiance was very pleasant. Sleek design.

Appetizers - captn krunch tenders - bam bam shrimp - Cheese curds For dinner I got the braised short rib It was so goo perfectly cooked fall apart beef over delicious polenta. Everything from start to finish was absolutely delicious Highly recommend!!!

WOW. First time dining at Fratellos as an out-of-tower and I certainly hope it won't be my last…read more Every aspect of this restaurant is stunning - the waterfront location, the excellent service, beautiful drinks and phenomenal food. We had a private room with pre-set menu that included bread service + soup or salad. Do not skip on the fresh bread with compound butter. I never knew how delicious bacon Parmesan compound butter would be. I want to be a butter snob now and only crave compound butters moving forward. :D Food presentation is beautiful but taste is what wins me over. The tenderloin is magnificent. All of the flavors are in perfect symmetry - the sprouts and mashed potatoes were dynamite. Having broccolini as another vegetable was even better. This is a generously sized dish and easily makes for 2 meals. I can't say enough positive things about my first Fratellos experience and very much look forward to coming back for another taste.

They have a ton of board games to play while you drink or wait for your food. Great place to meet up to wind down. I've been here twice, once for drinks and once for food. Great experiences both times. Service: Friendly and informative. They have a slim team but are incredibly efficient. Food: They pizza is incredible, the crust is untouchable. I ordered the Dirty Martini pizza (they don't have it anymore *cries in salty olive tears*). This pizza is one of a kind. If anyone else had this available in the Fox Valley I would go there every week to get my fix. It's salty, savory, creamy, crunchy and CRAVE-ABLE. We ordered one other pizza on the menu that is a standard offering, The 99 Corvette. This was okay but we both fought over who got more pieces of the Dirty Martini Pizza. I can't wait to come back here for more fun.

Hop Yard has a relaxed, casual atmosphere and seems consciously geared toward the hipster/affluent…read moreworking professional crowd. Their staff are friendly and seem to enjoy themselves. They do not have physical menus or servers to take people's orders; customers scan a QR code to get the online menu and order at the bar area. I can't speak to the craft beer and wine aspect to the restaurant, but they do offer some delicious craft sodas for people looking for nonalcoholic options. Although they have "normal" woodfire pizza choices (traditional pepperoni, cheese, etc.), the highlight is their rotating menu of inventive specialty savory and dessert pizzas. I found their "normal" pizza to be just ok, but the tomato soup pizza (Souper Slice) was incredibly flavorful and unique! It's definitely worth taking the leap of faith for some of their more out-there sounding pizza options. Since they have limited oven space to cook the pizzas, food can take a while to come out if it's busy. Plan ahead and use that time to relax and enjoy their drinks, or come during an off-peak time for less wait.

This place is such a hit for me that I will absolutely be coming back the next time I'm in town. The food/ingredients are so fresh and you can tell they are local. It provided such a great combo of flavors but wasn't heavy or overpowering... honestly, it was just right and hit the spot. The place is also such a cute little place and has a great ambience for a date night especially. It's tucked away from downtown yet it's right by it. I highly recommend anyone to try this spot.. just be sure to make reservations since it's a small space and it fills up very quickly, even on weeknights. It could be difficult to get a table as a walk in.

I've been here several times for 'to go' orders, but hadn't yet been in the restaurant itself. I've…read morenow been twice, and it's great! The first thing to know is that servings are ginormous, so order accordingly! I ordered the breakfast sandwich (just a croissant with some ham and cheese) and it took up the whole plate, no lie! It was also delicious, the cheese was cheesy (and messy, which was a plus and a minus), and the croissant was light and fluffy. I also had one of their flavored lattes, and it was delicious as well. I know they use homemade syrups and it shows. Pro tip though-the lattes fill you up (not so great when they also give you huge portions of food). The staff is friendly, and service is pretty good. On our second visit we did wait quite a while for our food-it was busy, but not packed, so that felt a little off. But otherwise service has been great. They do have an outdoor seating area-we unfortunately haven't been able to try it yet, but I would like to as it looks great!

Ordered breadsticks as an appetizer and a 14" Luigi's Special, which I'm told is the most popular choice. It should be. Wow! After our breadsticks, which came quickly, were piping hot, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, the pizza arrived - and it was superb. Very tasty, great quality toppings (which I won't list, leaving to you to look up on the menu), very nice thin crust, and lovely sauce. I packed away a little more than I should've, because it was so good. Eating for pleasure, right? So yes, highly recommended, and we will be back.

All of that reflected in a lower tip amount for her if she was wondering why.
