We had the best night! The food was incredible, the atmosphere in the wine room was perfect, our waiter was just the best… It was a snowstorm, and we were a little late and they were so understanding and told us not to worry at all which Took a lot of stress out of our evening. We absolutely loved it there!

Had a great dinner at Red Fox! The pasta was delicious and couldn’t go wrong with the vodka or pesto option. We sat at the bar and the bartender Brent was friendly, kind, and made our experience better.

A good experience and good place for a date night. Salih was a wonderful server, pleasant to speak with and offered good suggestions. Food should have been a bit warmer for the hot dishes ( favorite was the short ribs and Caesar broccoli salad) and the some of the menu changes should have been communicated better. Cocktails are innovative and music enhanced the experience.
