We visited Foxtail for dinner and loved the experience from start to finish. The space has a Mediterranean chic lounge vibe that immediately stands out—warm lighting, elegant chandeliers, greenery, and thoughtfully styled shelves create an atmosphere that feels both stylish and inviting. It’s lively without being overwhelming, making it great for a relaxed evening out. The food was fresh and flavorful, with well-balanced plates that felt light yet satisfying. Everything we tried tasted thoughtfully prepared. Dessert deserves a special mention—the chocolate cake truly hit the spot, with just the right level of sweetness, a great balance of textures, and occasional crisp bites that made it memorable. Service was another highlight. Our server was genuinely warm and attentive, adding to the

I have been here a few times but never left a review , me and my mom and sister came to the bar on Saturday night , amazing music, food and atmosphere . The krombacher beer is amazing , the bartender Stephen took care of us and had great recommendations. Another great experience here. Also Alexa was super sweet and cheery and she chatted with us, offered to take pictures and took great pics! :) we will be back . Very friendly staff, good atmosphere and good quality . The beet salad, hummus plate, grilled octopus, and the crab claws are all great dishes . Thank you!

Foxtail is our go to spot. ALWAYS great service and food. The salmon poke bowl is my favorite. The octopus/potato/pepper appetizer is fantastic. The wings are amazing, they are seasoned so well. Oysters were so fresh. Lobster appetizer 10/10.

WOW - absolutely wow! We came here on a whim Friday evening on our way home and decided to stop in and check it out... I'm so glad we did! The atmosphere was fun with good music from a DJ playing records and we were lucky to immediately find seats at the bar (otherwise it would have been a 30min wait for a table). We were quickly welcomed by the servers and handed menus. We decided to start with an Old Fashioned cocktail and a 'Smoke on The Water' which were perfectly crafted 👌 For appetizers; we chose the pork belly bruschetta. O.M...G !!!! Delicious is an understatement. Then for the main entrees we had the paella and the Brick Chicken. Both were bursting with flavor and the chicken particularly was cooked just right so it was juicy and full of flavor. The whole time we were there,

Atmosphere: very modern and clean. Loved the darker color scheme with woodsy vibe pork belly bruschetta: Delicious! They give you huge chunks of pork belly. pan seared grouper with beurre blanc sauce and potatoes: fish was light and flaky, but the beurre blanc sauce set it over the top.
