RYE was established in 2014. RYE offers a refined dining experience in a stylish urban rustic setting.  Located in the heart of Downtown Appleton next to the CopperLeaf Boutique Hotel.  RYE serves lunch and dinner; Monday through Saturday.

RYE is a Chef Driven Restaurant, lead by Chef Nick Morse along side his dedicated Culinary Team.  Nick’s passion for food developed at 14 years of age while under the direction of his Step Father Chef JR Schoenfeld at Chives Restaurant in Suamico. Over the course of several years, he learned the values and challenges of every station in the ‘Back of House’ finally earning the title of Sous Chef in 2010. Wanting to expand his knowledge of food and cooking styles, Nick took a seasonal position for the summers of 2011 and 2012 at the Harbor View Hotel & Resort on Martha’s Vineyard (Massachusetts) where he met his wife, Charlotte. In 2013, Nick & Charlotte returned to Wisconsin to assist with the opening of Bleu Restaurant & Lounge in DePere as Head Chef & Maitre ‘d. In early 2015, Nick and Charlotte made the transition to RYE.
