    My friend and I tried this place a few days ago and wow! The best French toast I've ever had, the potatoes were also super good. Definitely worth the 30 min wait we had which is expected with a popular place! The waiter was very attentive, helped us with favorites from the menu and all!

    A coworker recommended giving Weather Vane a try and it did not disappoint. This place is super cute and has amazing breakfast food. We too advantage of the breakfast buffet. COVID precautions in place included hand sanitizer and disposable gloves for using the shared serving utensils. Everything we had was delicious including cheesy scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, crisp bacon, cheesy hash browns, French toast sticks. . . I could go on and on. I do wish the mini cinnamon rolls would have been warm but the frosting was fantastic and made up for it. Check this place out for breakfast if you find yourself in Menasha.

    Excellent brunch spot in Menasha. It's quite easy to see why it's rated #1 here. The location is lovely, there's ample parking on the street and behind. Clean and modern vibe inside. The food is exceptional. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious! I highly recommend the Patty Melt and Bloody Mary's. Also, prices are surprisingly affordable. The wait staff was fast and friendly. All around, a wonderful experience.

    Great food, amazing prices! The food came out fast and hot. There is a breakfast buffet on Saturdays which had cheesy hash browns which were to die for. Family friendly ambience and friendly service. A great place for breakfast!

    Southern Platter with Hashbrowns.  Mimosa and coffee.

    We visited at 9:30 on a Sunday morning, hostess told us 15 min wait for the two of us. It was more like 8 mins. Quick service, clean and bright restaurant. It was getting pretty crowded when we left at 10:30 am. Solid choice for breakfast! The mimosas were amazing - believe they use fresh squeezed orange juice.

    My go to - corned beef hash, hashbrowns, and over easy egg. Pancakes came with!

    Visiting from out of town and was happy to find such a yummy breakfast place near our AirBnB. I would describe the food as better than diner but items you'd expect from a breakfast diner - corned beef hash, huge portions of hashbrowns, big and fluffy pancakes, unlimited coffee. Be prepared to bring home leftovers or share with a friend. Big portions! I also liked the ambiance, you could tell this place was a local favorite too.

    I had high hopes for this newer restaurant in downtown Menasha. I was disappointed. 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.

They had the weather channel and The Big Bang Theory playing on the t.v.'s which was a weird vibe for a night out. I get that it's a hotel restaurant but really? The bathrooms were wildly out of stock and in stock of handsoap and paper towels? Like they had dispensers but everything you needed to use was just propped on the counter top (couple of random soap bottles and a pile of half wet paper towels) and all the dispensers were empty? Why have soap dispensers and paper towel dispensers if you aren't going to refill them? Service: When we arrived it was a ghost town in here at 5:30 p.m. on a Friday night. There was one guy sitting at a table by himself and no one else in the dining area for over 10 minutes. Finally a bartender appeared. She informed us they had no beer on tap which was a let down. She was as quick as she could be with everything. When we came in there was 1 other person in the whole place, by the time we were signing the bill there was 20 people in here and she was the only person working. WILD. I felt awful for her, shame on management for having only a singular BARTENDER staffing the entire restaurant by herself on a Friday night. As not only the bartender, but the waitress, food runner, and busser. Seriously ridiculous. She did manage to provide good service despite how slammed she was, give that girl a raise. Food: Everything we ordered we were happy with (we ordered two apps and two entrees)! The standouts were the burger and the confit chicken salad. I really want to come back and try more items on the menu. If this review as just based on the food I'd give it 5 stars. Due to the lack of management oversight of employees on staff and the bathroom situation it is 3 since there is room for improvement.

The rarity time off we snuck over here and could not have been more impressed! Very much a unique place in Appleton but takes you to a big city like NYC or Portland. The vibes, decor, overall environment was welcoming. Food was delicious! We got BYO omelette and Cheese risotto cake with braised beef short ribs. Both were cooked to perfection and flavors aplenty. 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. We came back for a second visit fairly quickly because we kept thinking about the food! We got some breakfast bowls and added protein to it. Again, this place did not disappoint in the slightest! Happy eating!

I don't know how often the menu changes, but it seemed clear that it did change. There is also a menu of wine, beer, and spirits available. I enjoyed excellent service from Claire and a truly exceptional meal consisting of the Scramble (duck egg, ramps, fingerling potatoes, and topped with crispy potato chips), Country Pate (toast points, stone ground mustard, pickled collard green stems and carrots, and fennel), and Smoked Ribs (corn bread with thyme butter and collard greens)! I loved the vibe of the place, which made it seem like a casual bar with decent bar food. I did not expect the high level of quality dishes I saw on the menu, which followed through to the plate compositions, and then onto my palate! There wasn't a single disappointing bite in any of the three dishes I ordered, which were all from the small plate/appetizer section of the menu under "Colds" and "Hots." The Country Pate board was a perfect start, and the Ribs are smoked in their outdoor smoker, providing a slight smoky flavor and very tender meat. Ribs are served over delicious collard greens and with a side of cornbread and thyme butter. I tasted an herb in the cornbread and forgot to ask, but it may have also been thyme, or just my imagination. The cornbread wasn't moist, but also wasn't dry, and it had the crumbly texture one looks for in cornbread. I did not expect to taste collard greens this good in Neenah. The Scramble was absolutely perfect! You can tell from the photo how perfectly the duck eggs were cooked. There were fluffy and flavorful, and they were served over sliced fingerling potatoes, and then topped with crispy housemade potato chips. I wanted to order more, but I was satisfied, and it was getting late. I still had a 90 minute drive back home and work the next morning. If you're anywhere Neenah, I highly recommend you eat here!

My experience this time around was a little bit more of a let down hence why I had to take one star off. When I went few months ago, I had burnt coffee which I chalked it up as a one time error. But it happened again with this visit, so that told me they don't really pay much attention to their coffee yet they have a whole menu dedicated to coffee. I also made a reservation on a Sunday knowing it fills up quick and that it might be hard to get a table, however, it was an hour and half before they close which means they tend to slow down around that time. Also, when making a reservation, it'll ask you if you want bar, dining area or patio. I chose dining area. Yet they called me an half hour before to see if I wanted to sit at the bar, which I told them twice in person I do not want to, and as a result the hostess gave me the annoyed/judgmental look down when I wasn't looking. As someone who has owned a family restaurant business for 30 years, that's a big no-no in terms of customer service. It's just rude and unnecessary. Also, they kind of really try to get customers out by 2, which is when they close. By standard at most restaurants, they need an extra hour after closing for customers to take their time with their meals rather than rushing through it, especially if you will sit them 20 minutes before closing time. I felt rushed, and I don't like that feeling at a place I'm trying to enjoy my meal. Would I come back here? Absolutely yes because their food is really the best for brunch in the area and it's cleaner. It just shouldn't be an excuse with certain things like what I mentioned above. P.S. if chicken and waffles happens to be one of the specials, get it. It's by far the best dish I've ever tried there and also my top 3 chicken & waffles that I've tried anywhere. SO GOOD!
