Don’t let the low rent fool you! When you first pull into the parking lot for the strip mall that Meade Street Bistro is located in, you think to yourself, how can a really great restaurant be squeeze in between a liquor store and a Papa Murphy’s pizza? There must be some mistake. Yes, it’s not located in some fancy mixed-use development in downtown Appleton, but when you walk in, you find a simple, but nice, inviting space with a cool green back-lit bar and lighting at just the right level with background music that’s playing not too loud, but just loud enough to cover up background conversations. Their menu has a modest offering of an eclectic group of items, from pizza, to greens, pasta, seafood and one steak choice. The meat is locally sourced and everything is scratch made. This shows in the quality of the meals. This was our first time dining here, and we found it simply by combing through Google Maps and seeing other positive reviews. I had the shrimp in fettucine and a butter garlic sauce. Lots and lots of shrimp! My wife had the ahi tuna and it was cooked to perfection. Rare but slightly warm on the inside. We also had a Cesar salad, a simply wonderful green pepper soup, and for desert a fantastic peppermint torte that was made from scratch just like all the other meals. The flavors are amazing and the portions are generous. Excellent bar as well, with some interesting cocktail offerings. They have a large selection of gluten free and a few vegan options as well if that’s your thing. We chatted with the Owner and she is a wonderful person (she actually was the one waiting on us). Appleton is lucky to have a wonderful, local, cooked from scratch bistro like this Meade Street Bistro!

Went here for dinner to celebrate my friend's wedding! It's such a beautiful restaraunt and we were able to reserve the private room they had in back. The owner took care of us all night and she was the sweetest and most glamorous person! The rest of the staff that we met that night were also just as amazing. We started off the night with a few drinks from the bar. If you are looking for somewhere just for drinks then please check this place out, they have some amazing signature cocktails. (like the violet gimlet that I had) Lastly the food was very good! We all had some appetizers and different entrées. I was most impressed by the way they obtain their meat options, which is from a local meat market! Which you know it's nice and fresh. I had the salmon with the risotto and broccoli. The salmon wasn't dry and the risotto had a really nice flavor to it. The only suggestion I had was to have a little bit more done with the vegetable option. Overall I'd definitely come back here, thank you again for such a wonderful night!

I know this place just opened, but from the very beginning, we could tell that it wasn’t a place we would visit again. The whole waitstaff wasn’t the caliber I would expect if you’re paying $22-$34 for an entree. They all seemed to severely lack experience, all gathering to talk at the bar. The food was also not up to speed for the price point. My moms order was wrong, but she got to try the salmon entree instead of the appetizer salmon she ordered. The salmon at $23 was bland and the risotto had very little flavor. We all asked for salt. The gyro burger needed salt too and was just very average. The best part was the fries and the ranch dip with the appetizer. Those were great. I don’t mean to rip this place, I just feel like there needed to be an honest review after reading how amazing everyone thought it was. There are so many better options in the valley for this price point where i can go and feel like my money was well spent.
