    Taco Salad
    Kayla G.

    The flavor of the food was delicious but the salad's serving size was so small for $20...I got the taco salad expecting tortilla strips. When I opened the box I saw tortilla chips that took up half of the box so the salad itself was tiny. When I pay 20$ for a salad I expect the serving size to be decent at least...yes I did substitute the black olives for avocados for 2.50 as well and tipped on a take out order but still an outrageous price IMO for such a small salad...

    I stopped in to place a pick up order. Because it was a bigger order, I asked if they could put names on each item so that we can divvy up the food a little easier. They were more than happy to do it, but here's the best part. They never asked my name to put on my order... So they just wrote "nice guy who made the order" on my items! Totally worth five stars for that alone. Lol Actually, the five stars are well deserved. Food was great. I really loved the French onion soup and my sandwich was excellent. Five star employees, five star food. Will be back.

    The food and the atmosphere is great. The dining room is nicely decorated with a trendy vibe. The food was delicious, the veggies in our dishes was fresh, high quality. I had the Thai lettuce wrap appetizer, it included about seven large romaine lettuce leaves to wrap the fresh carrots, cabbage and chicken with delicious Thai sauce in. The portion was large, plenty of ingredients for all the lettuce leaves. My husband had the trio dip appetizer with queso, guacamole, and salsa, the guacamole had a bite to it, very tasty and fresh and the tortilla chips were hardy. He ordered the special, another Mexican dish which he loved and I had another Thai selection, the Thai Chicken Bowl served over lime cilantro rice, so good! Our server, Lilly, was delightful and attentive. All in all, a wonderful meal and a great restaurant!

    Smaller place but don't let that fool you. Gotta say, this is a hidden gem I. Appleton. Everything we order was delicious. They definitely give you plenty. All of the staff was super friendly. I got one of their bowls and didn't finish it. It was super good but with the quinoa, that fills you up quickly. Hubby got the tacos. He said they were great just a bit messy so beware! We will be back again

    Man I LOVE this place. I had been driving past it for years saying I wanted to try it and finally got a chance to. After finding out they do taco Tuesday/Thursday and a buy one get one half off apps for happy hour, I'm usually here at least once a week for tacos. The staff is super friendly (just don't have unrealistic expectations when they are swamped). Everything I've had here has been delicious. The chefs know their stuff. And I once did a BOGO margarita (also a Tuesday/Thursday special) and had it as a double in one glass and it didn't taste like pure alcohol. You should definitely stop here at least once and you'll want to come back once you do!

    We have ordered for pickup and have dined at the restaurant since its opening. We have been impressed with the quality and quantity of the food/drink. My dining partner loves the chicken-pesto panini. I've tried their banh mi sandwich (with a tasty corn chowder) and their poke bowl. I enjoyed both of them. We've also sampled their giant pretzel; which was very good. The restaurant doesn't serve mixed drinks but offers wine and beer. Try their sake Bloody Mary! It was very busy during our dine in meal. The staff wore masks during their contact with patrons. Our waitperson was knowledgeable and offered good suggestions for our meal. The manager also did a nice job of checking on tables and greeting patrons. While the restaurant is a little higher priced, the quality and quantity of the food are acceptable for the cost.

    I love Draft and I was super excited to have a new restaurant in the neighborhood. The good - we had really fast service. So fast, that we were still eating the giant pretzel when our dinner came. The okay - The food didn't have much flavor. We had been at Draft a few days earlier and had the pretzel and it was sooo good...but this pretzel was just okay. I ordered the steak and shrimp skewers and they were served with broccolini and rice. While it was good...none of it had much flavor. My husband ordered the mac and cheese bowl with brisket and he even asked if they had given him pulled pork...i guess we will never know. The bowl didn't have any flavor. My daughter loved her egg roll bowl. Tiramisu - the star of the show, for sure! The manager did check in with us while we were eating and the service was fast. Maybe it we need to give it another chance when they have been open longer...and see if they were still working out some kinks. Also a bummer that they don't have tap beer...and do not have a full bar. Just wine and bottled beer - no cocktails.

They have an upstairs tap room, an arcade, and a bar and restaurant downstairs. The service was all-around incredible. The employees were warm, friendly, and professional, and they seemed to know exactly how often to check in without interrupting our meal. They spaced out our drinks, appetizers, and entrees just the right amount. Our server Andrew was particularly great. We had a soda flight of their craft sodas for a super super reasonable price, and every single soda was spectacular. We're spoiled in the craft soda department by virtue of living in Wisconsin (Sprecher, Potosi, etc), but this was definitely the best craft soda we've had. Even the wacky flavors like blue raspberry were rich and flavorful--they didn't taste overwhelmingly artificial. I cannot recommend their soda enough, although I imagine their craft beer is pretty good too! We also had a delicious mocktail, which always goes a long ways in impressing us. All of our food was reasonably priced and so, so, fresh and delicious. The Bavarian pretzel with the beer cheese was heavenly!! We loved our entrees as well. Even something simple like the fries were perfectly done--fresh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside I don't think we could have asked for a better experience. Everything we had their was top notch, and despite the number of things we ordered, our bill was not very high at all (about $50 for a mocktail, a craft soda flight and a soda pint, an appetizer and two entrees.

Not overly salted which many places can be. The perfect portion size that we didn't even need to take anything to go. Honestly impressed. Even more cool is they try to source ingredients locally when they can so it's helping our community. Very excited to have found this place and will be back for more! We did try some of their specialty drinks and will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu whenever we get the chance. Happy eating!

It feels like…read morethis place wants to be upscale, but they failed on many levels, most notably the attitude of the front end staff. I could overlook or even forgive a single person who might be having a bad day, but we had negative experiences with 3 individuals. I went for dinner on a Tuesday evening with a small group of friends. We had a reservation for a table indoors, but were still considering the rooftop seating. When the first member of our group arrived, an employee was standing at the hostess stand but walked away without greeting her. It was not busy. Nobody else was waiting. She did not leave to go seat another party. She just walked away. This was the first moment of awkwardness. The menus: Before arriving, some of our group had looked at the regular menu and others had looked at the rooftop menu online. There was some confusion about why we couldn't order an item from the rooftop menu. (As I recall, the item in question was a flatbread available on the lunch menu for the regular dining room, but not on the dinner menu.) We were told that we would need to move to the rooftop if we wanted that item. Everything about the server's posture, facial expression including a visible eye roll, and even a loud sigh was very offputting from the start. We considered leaving before we even ordered our food, and in hindsight that may have been a better decision. Ultimately, we decided to stay and dine indoors, on the lower level at a table near a window looking onto the sidewalk. This may have been another mistake. It was very warm and stuffy. Even though there were only two other groups of people inside, it was so loud I could hardly hear people talking at my own table. I ordered the Agave Lime Chicken. It was good but not great. Two members of our party ordered flatbreads; two others ordered chicken tenders. This was where our evening really took a turn. On one of the flat boards used to serve the flatbread, there was a very small dead bug. It was a light gray-green color and so small that we weren't sure at first if it was a bug or a piece of some herb. We zoomed in on a phone camera and confirmed that it was indeed a dead bug. The member of our party who ordered this item had eaten one piece of her flatbread and was no longer interested in eating the rest. She did not want a box. She just wanted it taken away. The reaction of the staff was shocking. After clearing the board, one member of the staff returned and remarked that they were "still trying to find that bug." My jaw dropped at her tone - it was incredibly unprofessional. Thankfully, we had a picture. Another member of the staff came back to look at the photo as well, claiming that they could find no bug. They removed the meal from our bill, which is all I would really expect. I would still have considered returning another time if it had not been for the attitude and attempted gaslighting.
