I had the aged ribeye and the bacon-wrapped asparagus. The food looked great when it arrived, and I was really looking forward to it, but it ended up being pretty disappointing. The steak was cooked properly, but it didn’t have any flavor. The asparagus just tasted burnt from the char.
Nothing was terrible, but for the price, I expected it to at least be good. The server was friendly, which is why I’m giving this two stars instead of one.
The only reason I gave the service 3 is because the older guy in a suit that greeted us and went to seat us made is feel as if we were an in convenience to him. He took us to a small table in the back area in the middle of the room. We asked for a different table and he made that feel like it was an unreasonable request. We asked about several tables which he told us he wouldn't be able to seat us at. 10 minutes later a waitress went to seat a different couple at the table we had asked not to sit at and they also asked for a different table. The waitress pointed out the 3 tables we had asked about and were told no. But had no problem sitting them at.So not sure why it was not a problem for her to seat this couple at those tables but it was for him. Just got everything started off on the wrong foot. The food was really good for the most part. My wife had the sirloin taco and lobster taco and I had the shrimp tacos. All of them were really good except the lobster taco. The meat in it was terrible neither of us could eat it. It tasted like old fish with no lobster flavor at all. All the other ones were really great. Also our waiter was really good. Had the service continued how it started we would have passed on the food and left to go somewhere else. Happy our waiter was much better then the older guy that sat us. I really can't get over how unpleasant he made the start of our experience. Had it not been for him, it would have been a great experience from start to finish. Will go back l, just hope we dont have to have him seat us. He really doesn't understand the concept of guest service.
The bam bam shrimp and lobster bisque was good. The shrimp tacos were really good, the sirloin taco was great. The lobster taco was terrible, extremely fishy and neither of us could eat it. My wife also had the creme brulee which she also really liked.
Ate here for the first time today. Highly recommend. Food and service was excellent!! We will definitely be coming back.
Great food!
Had a really great experience here. Great food, fast & friendly service, and an awesome atmosphere.
Fish tacos, lobster bisque, and fries were great.
Great stop for lunch while in Appleton.
As always, Draft was wonderful. Amazing staff, fabulous food and overall, just a great experience!
Overall great experience. Our server Brad was 2nd to none. He went above and beyond to make sure the night was perfect. Hats off to Lou for running a tight ship. Highly recommend Draft to anyone looking for a great place to dine!

Did not like the taste of some of the food. Disliked having cucumbers in my water. Did not like the flavor of their homemade ketchup.

Amazing drinks and food. Waitress was incredibly knowledgeable on gluten free options. Scallops were amazing, highly recommend! May be the best food in town! Call ahead for reservations.

We were politely greeted at the podium and told it would be a 45-60 minute wait which we accepted. It was great to be seated about 10 minutes earlier than that window. While waiting, we got a drink at the bar which was delicious and the service was fantastic! Kudos to the bar staff and podium staff.
Once seated, that’s when things became less enjoyable. The server didn’t seem confident in what he was doing. He was rushing through telling us the specials and taking our order but then once he took our order, we didn’t see him again for a while. My food came first, then my husbands about 5 minutes later. Then the kids food came about 3-5 minutes after that. My son needed ketchup and he patiently waited about 20 minutes before we saw the server to ask for more. He never came to check on how things tasted or if we needed drink refills. Overall the server seemed robotic but
