I went to Rye restaurant located at 308 W College Ave in Appleton, Wisconsin.
My family and I had a great time in Wisconsin this past week. One of the most famous dishes in Wisconsin is cheese curds! So starting off strong we got the Scrays cheddar cheese curds. These came with tarragon ranch dip and were a hit 9/10.
We also got the New England crab cakes because we had to see what these were like being from New England and all. We were skeptical at first but these actually weren't bad. These 3 crab cakes had a warm sweet corn and pepper relish dressing and a truffle creme sauce 8/10.
For entrees we got the Irish beef and stout stew 6/10. This was a traditional Irish stew with mashed potatoes and a puff pastry. I think the cinnamon in the dish was a bit overpowering but overall still tasted good.
We got the roasted sweet corn and cheddar risotto This had red peppers, poblano peppers, chipotle basil marinade and onions. This was very rich and satisfied all risotto cravings 8/10.
We got the pork schnitzel which had truffle aioli, citrus arugula, tomatoes and a fried egg on top! The egg was a nice touch to this dish and complimented the pork well 7/10.
Finally, our star dish of the evening was the mushroom ravioli. This had rich and creamy alfredo sauce and used locally sourced mushrooms. I think the only thing that was missing was a tad more truffle flavor 9/10.
Make sure you have a reservation for this spot because it can get pretty busy-and for good reason too! Put this on your list next time you are in Wisconsin.
