Always a 5-star experience at Rye. Went for dinner before the Fox Valley Symphony, a little slow getting drinks at the bar but only one bartender and he was going as fast as he could while ensuring the cocktails were made right. Dinner for us was the pan-seared duck breast and the braised beef ragu. Both were delicious. Finished with the lemon-infused goat cheese cheesecake with chocolate and caramel drizzle and candied nuts. Presentation was top notch and the service was great. Looking forward to our next opportunity to dine there and try something new from the menu.

We went to celebrate our anniversary and could not have been happier with the service provided. We had an amazing woman named Kirsten who remembered us from the times we have celebrated here in the past. She was so kind, considerate, and made sure we had everything we needed; she congratulated us on our anniversary and we received a rose on our table as well as créme brûlée. We will definitely be coming back here and hope that she will be our server next time as well!! Thank you Draft for an unforgettable night. <3

Oshkosh restaurant week! Fox River Brewing did a great job! Enough food to take home- chicken tenders, soup selection, sandwich, tacos, and two desserts. All very good, and service was great as well.
