Food reminded me very much of the previous Domo restaurant. Northern Japanese warm earthy comfort food. The curry potatoes were delicious and the pork and garlic ramen 🍜 was the best ramen I’ve ever had. We had a pot of the matcha tea which brought everything together. Great ambience and a fun place for a date. Enjoy!

My husband and I brought our adult kids and their partners for a Christmas dinner. It was lovely, delicious and festive. Chance was our server, he was a GEM! He didn’t miss a beat…and we loved his personality and professionalism. His team backed him up flawlessly. The kitchen knocked every dish out of the park. The bar did an excellent job with everyone’s cocktails. Thank you, Eddie V’s! Merry Christmas and cheers to the New Year! The Stantons

This restaurant far exceeded any expectations I had as it was highly recommended to me. The food was absolutely exceptional. The scallops were the best I’ve ever had and the Chilean Seabass was cooked to perfection. It was my birthday and they treated me so well. The ambience was incredible and I was impressed that the noise levels were not too high in the bar and lounge area and great music choice playing. I would definitely return to this restaurant Other perks: Complimentary valet. Easy to drive to. Modern, open vibe.

Why go to Denver (who would)? Hands down, best Italian restaurant in the area, maybe even the state! We are from the northeast and find it difficult finding good Italian food in CO. Food is excellent, service staff is also excellent, professional, and ambience is superb. How about opening a pizza restaurant? Definitely needed as the pizza here is ahhh. Keep up the great work!

Whittier

About the restaurant

Fox and The Hen is inspired by a love of all things breakfast aka #MorningStuff. Here, we believe all the best things happen in the morning: sunrises, coffee drinks, small breakfast burritos tucked in large breakfast burritos and walks of shame.

Born out of Carrie Baird and Michael Fox’s true love for classic American breakfast served with lighthearted twists and an equal passion of all things boozy-brunch-drinks, Fox & The Hen is your new LoHi all-day breakfast concept.

Our focus is bringing friends and family together, incredibly delicious (and fun!) food, creative beverages and having everyone who leaves the Fox & the Hen feel their day is better than when they came in.

We do not seat incomplete parties, sorry.
