    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!

    Amazing service , ambiance, great full plate of food. Awesome drink options I got a butterscotch toffee cappuccino and it comes with one free refill. Yum yum. I had a really sweet n helpful waitress. She had red Hair and was an older lady so so kind. She was working on Monday morning at 11:11 :) will be back thank u

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Plenty of comfort foods on the menu. Coffee is good, and generous plate portions. WeatherVane is one of my favourite breakfast places.

We went to one of their limited dinner services. I had called the day before and reserved a table. When we were quickly seated at a table by the entrance, I admit being suspect of how our visit would go. The hostess asked if the table was alright and pointed out a heater by the table. Not only did it keep us warm, it made our table feel cozy. Despite it being very busy, I'd describe the restaurant as being a great place for a special date. Our waiter for the evening brought great energy. His timing was great and his knowledge of the food served was helpful. Without hesitation he suggested the Napolitana (which was phenomenal). He also made the restaurant less pretentious than I had assumed it would be and it definitely wasn't pretentious). We ordered the empanadas and beet salad as appetizers. Great picks and I'd return just to get the empanadas! As previously stated, I had the Napolitana. My dining partner has the quinoa bowl but added chicken to it. No complaints for either. We finished with two desserts suggested by our waiter. Although truly full from our meal, we polished off the tasty treats. I'm going back, just disappointed I've haven't visited it before now.

It wasn't crowded, so they just told us to let them know when we were ready to be seated. Staff was very friendly, and seated our group of 6. Nice salad bar, with hot bacon dressing, French onion and seafood chowder at the salad bar. All the portions were plentiful, and served together. Our table ordered a variety of foods, including bacon wrapped shrimp, ribs, patty melt, stir fry, prime rib philly. Nice atmosphere, and good tunes playing

It wasn't just a brief check, either, they stared at us as we made our way across the room, basically til we sat in the "restaurant" part of the place. We went for brunch. I can't really speak for any of their other food, but don't go there for brunch. The "brunch" consisted of two sides. The first was a salad bar which did have a pretty good selection of items, as far as a lettuce salad would be concerned - but the pre-made salads were pretty unappetizing to me & my fiancé - neither of us are super picky eaters. They looked like they had just been sitting there since last week's brunch. I did try the ambrosia salad, which was ok, but it had a stale or freezer-burned-ish taste to it. There was also soup. The other side had a huge thing of fried chicken, some corn (frozen, not fresh), some fries, a couple other things, and then a frittata & some bacon & sausage - the only breakfast items. When we got there, nothing was fresh. The chicken had been sitting out for quite awhile, quite dry & not good at all, the bacon, too (at that point there wasn't any bacon out) the corn had a sort of film at the top from sitting, the frittata looked horrible - I wouldn't even try it. After we had made our first trip to the buffet, a few other couples came in, and after they had also visited the buffet, the chef started bringing out fresh food. The fresh fried chicken was good, the fresh bacon was good, but the same frittata was still there when we left. I think if they want to do a brunch, they should do a legitimate brunch. When I say I want to go to brunch, I don't mean "I want to eat fried chicken for breakfast." If there had been any fruit, any other forms of eggs (hard boiled, scrambled, etc), and a few more breakfast-y items, I think I would have been ok - not thrilled, but satisfied. Instead, it was a lunch buffet with bacon and frittata. If they feel their buffet carts are too small and still want to do a brunch, they should create several brunch entrees and just make them on an as-ordered basis. I don't think they can legitimately call this a brunch. The one very positive thing I can say is that our server and one of the bartenders/hosts (maybe an owner?) were very nice to us. It looks like a good place to make "your bar," if you were looking for a new place to be a regular, I'd maybe have a drink there, but I definitely won't go back to eat.
