I had never tried Prime rib and Iam glad I tried here at the red fox. The portion was a huge pice of meat! Perfectly cooked juicy and tender. I'll be back 😺

On the way back from paddling on Long Lake, we decided to stop at the Red Fox. We’ve been driving past it for years, but never stopped in so we gave it a go. I have to say the food was phenomenal and the service was exceptional. We started out with a beer and one of their signature cocktails, and they brought us some fresh bread and butter, which we really enjoyed after paddling all day. I got the veal Parm and my bodyguard got the fillet. The veal Parm was exceptionally well prepared paperthin and extremely tasty. I was lucky enough to try some of the fillet and it was seasoned to perfection and I really enjoyed it. We had the lemon Italian cake for dessert and my God It was the perfect way to end the meal. Sara was our server and even though she has a Canadian accent she’s local from jus

The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and classically Adirondack themed. The fox chandeliers are treasures. Our waitress was very friendly and down to earth, service is formal. Delicious, crusty, warm artisan bread is served before dinner. My husband had veal parm, I had French Onion soup. The food was good, it was the atmosphere that I loved. Our table looked out on their garden and the forest. Large restaurant with plenty of seating. There’s a room for large parties.

Was able to pop in without a reservation (4 of us) after strolling thru the ice castle. Kind of a long wait to get our order after getting our drink order. Probably about a 25 minute wait to get our food after that. That can be tricky because we had a 16 month old with us. I wandered around the restaurant with her to keep her from fussing. There food was very good. I wish I had read the size of the prime rib was 16oz... it was such a large piece of meat. (But perfect!). Was surprised that there wasn't a vegetable option along with the starch. Pretty pricey menu.

We got a reservation after being recommended to eat there by a friend. It is a classic experience crossover between American fare and Italian and reminded us of eating out with our parents growing up. I ordered the prime rib open face sandwich and my dining companion got veal Marsala. All entrees include soup or salad and come with fresh made Italian bread. The bread is excellent and the salads were fresh. Service is slow, but friendly and kind. We kind of expected it in this environment. Entrees came out and initially looked good. Marsala dish was excellent. Open steak not so much. Apparently the kitchen had run out of prime rib and substituted a well done strip steak for the rib on the sandwich without anyone asking if this was ok. It was not good. I could see that with prime rib, the
