    Beef tenderloin
    Kay K.

    WOW. First time dining at Fratellos as an out-of-tower and I certainly hope it won't be my last. Every aspect of this restaurant is stunning - the waterfront location, the excellent service, beautiful drinks and phenomenal food. We had a private room with pre-set menu that included bread service + soup or salad. Do not skip on the fresh bread with compound butter. I never knew how delicious bacon Parmesan compound butter would be. I want to be a butter snob now and only crave compound butters moving forward. :D Food presentation is beautiful but taste is what wins me over. The tenderloin is magnificent. All of the flavors are in perfect symmetry - the sprouts and mashed potatoes were dynamite. Having broccolini as another vegetable was even better. This is a generously sized dish and easily makes for 2 meals. I can't say enough positive things about my first Fratellos experience and very much look forward to coming back for another taste.

    First, the location can't be beat. From the terrace we watched the river flow and marvelled at the wildlife -- we saw pelicans, heron, and an eagle. Our college age waitress was so sweet and incredibly patient with the table next to ours -- at which a couple of older white haired men were asking her endless questions about her personal life. We were there for just a drink and a snack so we got an Old Fashioned and a Shandy -- both of which were delicious -- and some truffle fries. So good!

    Came here on a Tuesday afternoon with 8 other people and sat in the outdoor patio area. It is self seating on the patio. We came to mainly order appetizers, drinks and to hang out as a family. They have a good selection of both mocktails and cocktails. I got the orange obsession and would recommend it, as it's not overly sweet. We ordered the cheese curds, truffle fries, bruschetta, and the bam bam shrimp. The highlight was the bam bam shrimp with the sauce and the coleslaw.

    River view from our table. Peaceful evening.

    Great place for a relaxing evening on the riverfront! Food was wonderful and the appetizers recommended by the server was delicious. She was very attentive and made our dining experience an absolute pleasure. Fried chicken dinner was delicious.

    Pricey, but beautiful view and always quite packed. We came for our anniversary and they did give us a complimentary chocolate cake that was very decadent. Food is always good. Service has always been nice as well. Overall, a great venue to bring a date for sure. Highly recommend down by the windows for the best views. We will continue to come back on special occasions to keep trying their different dishes. Happy eating!

    Gorgeous location overlooking river. Service was impeccable. Manager came and checked on every table throughout our lunch. Had the chicken breast sandwich which was the special and their Krunch salad, both were fresh and very good. I've loved that salad for years as we used to eat at sister restaurant in Oshkosh. Their chicken tenders are made with Captain Krunch cereal and absolutely amazing. The chx sandwich special came with a side of soup or salad. The 'side' salad was as big as a main dish. It's pricey, but everywhere seems to be these days. We will be back.

    Genuinely artistic food! I love the creativity in each dish, and even better, how often they change the menu to offer new dishes. Fantastic service, amazing food, and an amazing atmosphere!

    SHORT RIB PASTA
    Jerad B.

    To start I have to mention the beautiful views this restaurant has. Wonderful waterfalls and moment from the nearby dam. I've been wanting to try squid ink pasta for a long time and finally got a taste. This venue was perfect for my girlfriend's birthday dinner. Our server was attentive and being a Monday service was quickly achieved. Definitely would recommend this as a treat a few times a year.

    Short Rib Pappardelle
    Tyler W.

    First time at Fratellos and it was so good! Plenty of parking outside, easy to make a reservation, and we got a great spot right by the window. The food was so good! I had the short rib pappardelle and others got the Chicken Penne. To top it off the Apple Pie Cannoli was amazing. Will be back!

    CRISPY GRILLED CHEESE with Truffle Fries

    Great atmosphere and service. Met some coworkers for lunch and sat outside. Their patio is good size and love the views of the Fox River and the dam.

    Overpriced and low quality food. You are paying a lot of money to sit by the water.

    Bazil's Pub & Provisions is one of those places I can walk into without needing a plan--and that's…read moreexactly why I love it. Established in 1993, Bazil's has that classic old-school pub personality that you just don't manufacture. Dark wood, vintage bar vibes, a relaxed atmosphere and a massive beer selection that gives you plenty of reasons to hang around for a while. And honestly, the beer selection is the star of the show. Bazil's is known for having one of the biggest craft beer selections on College Avenue, and it's easy to see why people make this place a destination. Whether you already know exactly what you want or you're standing there thinking, "Okay...what the hell am I drinking today?" there's plenty to explore. But what I appreciate most is that they don't overcomplicate things. Good basic pub food. Cold beer. Comfortable surroundings. No need to dress it up with a paragraph of adjectives and culinary buzzwords. I went with the burger and fries, and it was exactly what I wanted from an old-school neighborhood pub: simple, satisfying comfort food that pairs perfectly with a cold beer. And then there's the fish tank. Seriously. That thing deserves its own Yelp review. There's something ridiculously relaxing about sitting at the bar, having a cold beer in front of you and watching the fish cruise around behind the glass. It adds this weirdly peaceful element to a classic pub environment. Bazil's is the kind of place you don't necessarily go to "experience." You go to hang out. And sometimes those are the places you end up remembering most. Brews. Views. Food. Repeat.

When I walked out that same lady was letting 2 ladies she knew come in with coffee drinks. So not cool. The whole thing was very upsetting to a loyal longtime customer.

    I don't think I could love this place any more if I tried! We were staying in Appleton for a game…read moreup at Lambeau, and we found Cleo's just wandering the streets looking around. The painted window saying "Home of the Dirty Snowball" absolutely piqued my interest! LOL! Actually, it was that, plus the two giant nutcracker decorations out front that caught my eye. I'm a fan of (Christmas) holiday decorations, so I wanted to see what else they had, after spying some string lights through the window. Inside, it's like a wonderland of holiday cheer! Lights and ornaments and decorations everywhere! Sitting at the bar under the lights, I really felt like I'd discovered some secret bar under the Christmas tree! The staff were friendly, helpful, and quick with the libations! Kind of that "keep it real" attitude, but not in the rude way... in the honest and up front way! There is no food to speak of, save for a Chex-pub mix blend, but the drinks are why you want to visit! The famous Dirty Snowball is like a shake, but without ice cream, made with cocoa and related liqueur flavors (I can't remember what-all is in it, but it's GOOOOOOOD!). I highly recommend it! I also tried the Cleo's Trio, which is one part Dirty Snowball, one part Brandy Old Fashioned, and one part Suffering Bastard, I think? Not in the same glass! But, more like a flight. You get a little taste of Wisconsin or at least Appleton. Each drink is basically a full version, though, so you might need only one! I don't know what your favorite bar looks like, but if I lived in Appleton, this one would be mine. I would be in there at least once a week, if for no other reason the ambiance and the company. Great people, great drinks, and a legacy for holiday décor that I hope lives on forever!
