Description:
APPLETON. This contemporary addition to the local dining scene specializes in American fare with a flair. Featured entrees include king salmon, yellowfin tuna, and fresh game and seafood dishes, all served with seasonal vegetables. In addition, certified Black Angus steaks are always popular, and the kitchen features a tempting selection of daily specials – how does an Iowa-raised grilled tenderloin topped with Gorgonzola sound? Tucked away about a block off busy College Avenue, Black & Tan is set in an attractive gray Victorian whose unpretentious interior includes an inviting bar area where you can enjoy a cocktail and the sounds of light jazz while your table is being made ready. Serving dinner Monday through Saturday evenings, Black & Tan opens up shop on Sundays too, but only during Broadway runs at the PAC. |
