★★★★★ 5.0 Marta Stashevska · Mar 2026

Foxtail is a fantastic place and such a unique dining experience. The building itself is absolutely stunning — it’s an old church that has been beautifully preserved and transformed into a restaurant. They kept the original structure, and the atmosphere is truly amazing. The service was top-notch from start to finish. The food was super delicious. I highly recommend the hummus plate — so flavorful and beautifully presented. The salad was a huge portion, perfect for sharing. My burger was cooked exactly as I ordered — perfectly done. The cocktails were also excellent. We had a five-hour layover between flights and decided to come here — and I’m so glad we did. If you have time, I definitely recommend this place. It’s only about a 15-minute drive from the airport. I can’t recommend it enough

What a place! A truly unique and attractive venue in an old church. The food was perfectly prepared and beautifully plated. Service was super attentive. Overall a delightful experience. And dont forget the speakeasy bar downstairs for a nightcap!

★★★★★ 5.0 Claribel Veslino · Mar 2026

This place provided great service. We had a reservation for 6 for dinner. TJ was the best waiter. He was attentive and connected with us. He recommended fabulous choices from the menu. The service team came around often to refill our water. The birthday cake/candle was the icing on top. Delicious food

★★★★★ 5.0 Annie Wolf · Feb 2026

We had a wonderful experience at Foxtail on the Lake. Specifically we really enjoyed our sever Anthony! He was very knowledgeable about the menu and specific details for ingredients on the menu, very attentive. We had the breakfast flatbread that was a very unique but delicious dish and also had the Filet Poke Bowl (we requested sauce on side in the pic) which was delicious! They brought out a cute little dessert for us with the coolest candle. Overall, great experience and will be back again!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Vanysa Tran · Feb 2026

We love to come here for special occasions. The ambiance is great as you step inside. Music and reception was friendly. Ask if you could be seated on the balcony upstairs if there is room. Less noisy and the view is amazing! Drinks were creative and they add alcohol not watered down. Lots of variety to choose from. They even got a kids menu! Would definitely come back for more dining experience!
