Reviews for Spats in Appleton, WI
Been there the 3 past Fridays for bluegill and haddock and loved it. The lobster bisque is the best I've had yet. The smashed... red potatoes are also excellent. Brie, the bartender is both friendly and talented. Dirty martini and Manhattan both top notch.Overall a wonderful experience that I will be frequently returning back to. Read more
We got dinner at Spats tonight and were very impressed! We walked in and were met with a very friendly hostess who seated us... right away. Our server, whose name I cannot remember, had only been there for a couple of days was extremely friendly and actedlike she had worked there for years. We ordered a couple (ok, several) Brandy Sours and they were perfect and quick to get toour table. Nice touch with the pickled Brussels sprouts! Within only a couple of minutes our clam chowder and lobster bisquewere brought to our table and both were excellent! My 9 year old daughter wanted to get another bowl of the clam chowder it wasso good. The seafood platter and bluegill were both spot on. Light, flaky, hot, and not at all greasy. I also was very impressedat how reasonable the prices were. To the whole Spats crew: you guys nailed it tonight. Keep up the good work. You guys have anawesome operation going on. Read more
Such a great restaurant! I have been here for a business lunch and most recently dinner with my husband. The food is very... flavorful and great prices! Cocktails were well poured. Service was excellent! I love the low lighting. It creates a calming andintimate dining experience. We will be back! Read more
Coming in from out of town, we just wanted Perch before we left. Oh my word did Spats deliver! We had the double order of perch,... intending to share, and it was a TON of food. Cheese curds, a side salad and a couple beers.... you can NOT go wrong with thisplace! Local customers were amazingly friendly, like all Wisconsinites. Try the Spats fries! And the ranch! Try everything!Amazing staff, phenomenal food! Thank you Amanda, Bree and Nick! We'll definitely be back! Read more
Stopped in for a beverage and some dinner. Nice folks with good service; chill atmosphere and a patio with a decent number of... tables and music. Love that they carry local brews too. The beverages were great and fillet was delicious. Perfectly cookedasparagus. The truffle fries were excellent and the cheese curds were spot on. The scallops on the other hand, were gritty,charred, and way over salted. In addition, the spices way over shadowed any nuances that one might appreciate from the seafood.It simply wasn't very good. She got them, took two bites and said no way, passing them to me. Honestly, I tried to get throughthem and am pretty dedicated to finishing everything, but I couldn't do it, it simply wasn't appetizing. To close, our serverwas great; he was on point but not overbearing and he was very friendly. Thanks for the experience; we'll be back--we'll justskip the scallop next time. Follow up after owner response: we were enjoying the evening and didn't want to deal with thehassle of talking to a manager, etc, etc, so chose not to request a refund. Besides, we did push through quite a bit of it, asindexed by the photo. If you'd like to make it right, we'd be happy to come by for a replacement entree. Read more
Mile of Music was awesome! Free water during with the heat/humidity was not only smart but very appreciated!!! Great experience... overall. The chairs and food made it possible to stay for a couple bands. Everything all in one spot, music, drinks, food. Recommend more port -a- potties, but on the whole, I would say you thought of everything ? Read more
Spats has a pretty small menu. Online it looked like they had a lot more variety. It could be because it was Friday and they do... fish specials, I'm not sure. The perch I had was fine, the accompaniments weren't anything special. The service was ratherminimal, especially at my table. @dietproof Read more
