The food, however, very subpar. First was the Flat Iron Steak Sandwich. Basically, a French Dip. Looked promising but the steak was cut thick and very tough. Flavor was fine but chewy. Next was the Pig & Fig sandwich. Reports were good and positive. Last was the special "Fresh Lake Michigan Perch". This was not good. It was over cooked and tasted like it was fried in last week's oil. One bite was enough. Burnt taste and very dry. Our server was very apologetic, offered something else and took it off our bill. There are plenty of other places on Main Street. I'd try somewhere else. BTW - Dockside Tavern, nearby, was very cool & good. All with a lakefront view.

The beautiful bar area was filled and they had reserved a table for us near the fireplace. Allie was our server and we will be back just to visit with her! She was super friendly, efficient, and kept checking back with us to replenish drinks and food as needed. The seafood bisque soup was piping hot and so flavorful. Two of us had the Black Forest sandwich which were overflowing with meat (ended up taking half home for later!) The Deluxe burger was juicy with mushrooms and onions, cooked to perfection, and the Chalice sauce was delicious. I should have taken photos of the food but to be honest we inhaled everything while we kept talking. Again Allie was a consummate professional--she made sure we never had to ask for a refill -- she was just there when we needed her. We will be back again!

The drink menu is great, albeit a little pricey, and the patio is a fantastic spot to sit back, have a drink, and watch the water traffic go by. That's about where the good things end. My wife ordered the ribeye, which at $48 was pretty underwhelming. At that price, you'd expect at least a side salad to be included. They also don't offer mushrooms with their steaks, which seems like a strange omission. The steak was at least edible. I can't say the same for the two perch dinners we ordered. I'm honestly not sure there were actual fish fillets hiding underneath all the breading. You could literally pull chunks of breading off that had no fish attached to them. Once you finally made your way through the breading and found the fish, the fillets were extremely thin and cooked to the point of being dry. If you're a restaurant located right on the water and perch is a regular menu item, you'd think you'd have that one figured out. We also ordered the homemade potato chips as an appetizer. They came with a tiny container of dip and were, at best, pretty average. So, to sum it up: great location, nice atmosphere, good drink menu (although a bit pricey), and food that is a big "meh." For the $155 we spent, including tip, I expected considerably more. The waterfront view is nice, but unfortunately, you're paying for the view more than the food.

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 wife and I visited Town Council for the first time on a Thursday evening, and the place was…read moreabsolutely buzzing. Thankfully, we had a reservation for two seats at the high-top bar directly in front of the open kitchen and service line, which gave us a front-row view of the chefs and dishes heading out to the dining room. More on those seats later. The restaurant itself is modern, stylish, and upscale without feeling pretentious. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout the evening. For drinks, I ordered a Lion's Tail beer while my wife enjoyed a prosecco. We started with two appetizers: the Country Pâté for me and the Wisconsin Cheese Plate for my wife. Both were served with pickled vegetables, including cucumbers and red onions, and both were excellent. The portions were surprisingly generous and, in hindsight, we probably could have shared just one appetizer and been perfectly happy. One of the highlights of the evening was watching the kitchen in action. Despite a packed dining room and the added chaos of Thursday burger night, the chefs took time to chat with us and were incredibly kind and hospitable. The chef-owner, who was working directly in front of us, recommended the Roasted Trout, while my wife chose the Roasted Beets. The trout was beautifully cooked. The skin was left on and crisped to perfection, pairing wonderfully with the spaetzle. My only criticism is that it was noticeably oversalted. It wasn't enough to ruin the dish, but it did have me reaching for my water glass more often than I'd have liked. A few bites from my wife's beet dish provided a nice balance, as it was light, fresh, and flavorful. By the end of the meal, we were far too full for dessert, so we settled our tab and prepared to leave. Now, back to those high-top bar seats. The chairs are very tall. I'm six feet tall and still had to hoist myself up into mine. My wife, who is five feet tall, practically had to climb aboard. The view is fantastic, but after an hour and a half, a couple of drinks, and a great meal, it's easy to forget just how far off the ground you are. As I got up to leave, I nearly lost my footing and almost tumbled out of my chair. Unfortunately, my wife wasn't as lucky. She fell backward, hitting her head on the concrete floor and bruising her leg and forearm as she tried to break her fall. Thankfully, she was okay and didn't need medical attention, but she ended up with a sizable bump on her head and some impressive bruises. So, a word of caution: if you're seated at the high-top bar, be aware of the height. The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent, but those chairs are not for the faint of heart. Consider bringing a parachute. Would definitely return, though perhaps next time we'll request a table closer to ground level.

Years ago we relocated to Oshkosh from a much larger city…read more My husband is Italian. To our disappointment we could not find true Italian restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. So needless to say we were elated when we first heard about the opening of The Truffle Pig. Almost a year later, after the initial opening, we have made the Truffle Pig our restaurant of choice in the Fox Valley region. Reasons: Friendly and hospitable Maitre de'hotel (Master of the House). Knowledgeable and accommodating wait staff. Staff are educated on the origins and preparation of Italian cuisine. The Grand Chef-Ottimo ! As for the cuisine, I recommend the Caesar Salad and Sea Bass. My husband enjoys the Spaghettoni Cacio e Pepe (served table side) and The Fiorentina. Oh yes, I also recommend the Risotto, which is always a treat. The beverage list is extensive. If you are looking for a truly Italian experience, then this is it. Thanks for reading !

I visited this restaurant last week with friends…read more Located in a historical downtown Oshkosh building, it has an upscale feel. However, I found it to be very loud as a result of the high ceiling and open dining room. There are several other areas within the restaurant which can be closed off and would definitely not magnify the voices of the many people dining in the establishment. We had reservations and were seated promptly upon our arrival. I arrived somewhat bothered as I had learned that had we not been able to find a third couple to join us, we would have been charged $25 a piece for our friends who could not come due to illness. In Oshkosh, I find this policy off putting; as it certainly isn't a metropolitan market. The table we were sat at made any kind of conversation amongst our group difficult. Our group was six and the table was too large. It had chairs on three sides and a couch on the other. Given an opportunity, I'd have liked a booth or a regular table. Our service was good. However, we were billed as a group without an offer of being billed by couple. Definitely not the fault of our servers, but another thing I didn't appreciate. Throughout the meal, servers were very timely in returning to the table to accommodate our party. Drinks, appetizers and salads were all very good. My dining partner had Lasagna Bolognese. It was a nice sized portion. However, it lacked flavor. I had the casoncelli alla bergamasca. It was very salty but was nice sized and matched the description in the menu. Another dining partner had spaghettoni cacio e pepe prepared tableside. The other diners did not comment on their food, which led me to believe it was just okay. The only dining partner raving about their food was our friend who had the grilled yellowfin tuna. I was able to sample a bite and agreed it was excellent. We finished our meal with a nice crème brûlée dessert. Overall, it was nice. Much too pricey to make it a regular dining spot for me; however, it seemed like a place appropriate of a special occasion meal.

It's funny because it's named 1890 but was established in 2025. Still, a great place for food.
