The service is warm, personable, and attentive, making every visit feel special. Whether you're dining on the patio overlooking the beautiful river or enjoying the cozy atmosphere inside, the ambiance is exceptional. Housed in a unique historic building, it has charm, character, and a dining experience that keeps us coming back. Highly recommend! The mussels (not pictured) are a favorite!! Always paired with a nice wine that comes recommended by one of the outstanding staff.

It's trendy with a more upscale vibe vs other comparable places like Cleo's and Deja Vu. The drinks are carefully curated with thought behind each one's concept. The bartenders are knowledgeable and service is typically fast. This has quickly turned into our go to spot for a drink or two when in town.

It's very cozy in there so be prepared to sit literally right next to someone you don't know, but it was fine. Also not as expensive as I would have thought...for two of us, we got 5 items, plus a dessert, 2 beers, a glass of rosé and the martini, and it was only $165.

Marvol has an ambitious name and ambitious goal...and like its sister restaurant (the eponymous…read moreEllinor), a paradoxically unassuming location. And like Ellinor, many may double check their Google maps as they get nearer to the restaurant, wondering if they're in the wrong place. Unlike Ellinor, Marvol lives in a small, obscure corner of Appleton - it's not in an established neighborhood full of progressive diners with progressive views and progressive palates. And I love them for it. Sure, it may have just been a business decision to minimize overhead, but it says something bigger. It's an Appleton restaurant - everyone is welcome. True to the owners' approach to dining, Marvol's seating is more than cosy. It's intimate. You have to be okay with getting close to a stranger for the journey. Marvol's food doesn't disappoint. More important than the storybook plating and the flare, the food screams of excellent sourcing. Marvol's trout belly and roe, Kendall's greens, Wisconsin sweet corn and crab. Every ingredient can stand on its own - but they're so much better together. Whereas Ellinor caters to the many with mainstays and midwestern must-haves (red meat, burger, pizza with pork in it), Marvol feels like a small test kitchen full of new ideas. Some will land, others won't, but it's all part of the experience. It kind of feels like Chef Adam is inviting us into his brainstorm, where he jots down his ideas for the week on a notebook - and that's the menu. Though I had my favorites, I don't think going through them would help you. Because Marvol has probably moved on. All I can say is, you can trust Adam. Note: A huge selling point of Marvol is their drinks. I did not try any, as I don't drink alcohol. There is no official NA cocktail menu.

Overall, slightly nicer than a family restaurant but not pretentious in any regard. High ceilings, kind of noisy environment, but not so loud you can't chat with your table mates. A full bar and a menu where everyone should be able to find something to their liking. On my last visit, I had their ribs. Gotta say they were pretty good. Large portion served with a creamy coleslaw and bowl of Mac & Cheese. I prefer a moist Mac & Cheese and found this to be pretty dry. My dining partner had the bistro melt with a chicken breast. Also tasty and a large enough sandwich to bring some home. Price for a dinner is just slightly on the high side; however, the taste of the food, drinks and friendly service will probably bring you back. If you are into it, they also do Trivia on Thursdays!
