Food is incredible. It fills up fast so have a reservation. Among our favorite places. The waitstaff is gracious and efficient. We keep them busy. Cannot wait for summer. Their outdoor space is gorgeous.
Red fox always has fantastic service and very welcoming atmosphere. If you sit at the bar it always seems like there is someone you could relate/chat with because they attract fun people. Never had a bad meal from top to bottom. Highly recommend the steaks.
What a nice birthday dinner we celebrated! The restaurant had a cute and cozy vibe. Decorated for the season but not overdone. We started with cocktails. ( they have at least 50 bourbons to choose from-nice!) A couple of us had bourbons and a couple of us went with martinis. Yum. Baileys, crème de menthe and vanilla vodka. Not on the menu but they made it for us. They brought out some nice warm bread with a pepper jelly/olive oil dipping sauce which was good. We skipped apps cuz-dessert. Lol We ordered Rack of lamb Filet Mignon Two orders of the NY strip Sides were baked potatoes Everything was delicious and cooked to order. The meal and drinks were pretty filling but we shared dessert Crème brûlée And a chocolate dessert I can't remember the name of. We were very lucky to have had Leslie as our server. She was wonderful! Cheerful and sweet, efficient and checked on us as needed. Def will go back!
Great signature salad! Omg! Always a great experience. The new decor is beautiful and very inviting. Their specials never disappoint.
My family treated me to Red Fox for my birthday. What a great time. The food was excellent and our waiter was attentive and funny!! We've dined here for brunch and had my sister's 50th birthday celebration here and it's always a great experience with an awesome vibe. For dinner we had the NY Strip, the Wild Alaskan Salmon, and the Seafood Skewer Special with a side of spinach to share. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We ended the night with a round of shots brought out on a fiery tray. All and all, it was a great birthday!!
Wow. Simply wow. I have to say this was one of the best recent restaurants I've found in the state. We did happy hour in the bar and then dinner in the dining room. Both were amazing. Starting with nachos, oysters and drinks, we were extremely happy with the quality of what we got and the service. We were there for happy hour so $1 oysters were a hit and $7 nachos plus 1/2 price martinis were awesome. The meal was spot on some of the best food we've had at a restaurant recently. The salad was well balanced and tasty. The steak was some of the most tender and tasty steak I've ever had and the chicken dish was a home run. Add the large Mac and cheese side and you're talking about an amazing dinner for me and the family. We also got a bottle of wine for $40 which is $14 at stores so solid buy. The wines are cheap here for a restaurant. I'd strongly recommend this place to any looking. It might not be where you'd expect a top flight restaurant but it meets all the requirements of a 5 meal. Try this place if you're in the area.
I have lived in Rome for a while, but this is the best Italian place ever. The freshness and homemadeness of everything is evident. The seafood mix plate exceeded my expectations. Can you tell me if this plate is suitable for 2 or 3 people? Take a look at the photo and keys to compare its size. The tiramisu and expresso were the perfect finishing touches for a perfect dinner. I am extremely grateful to my bartender, Omar, who crafted my 'adios mother fucker' to perfection and showed great love for his craft and his commensals. Overall, a magnificent and sublime spot to spend an afternoon.
There's nothing like the original! I've always enjoyed the food and staff at Red Fox in Middletown. They have a great happy hour menu from 3-6 daily in the bar area. They also have a bar bites menu in that area also. I've tried their rigatoni w/vodka sauce and turkey club from that menu. Both were delicious! The martinis are quite delicious & it helps that they are 1/2 price. The servers are friendly and the bartenders are amazing!
Enjoyed a lunch at Red Fox Restaurant. This was a working meal since we had a meeting then enjoyed our lunch. Service was very attentive. They were great about keeping our water glasses full. The gnocchi tasted great butI was not a huge fan of the red sauce. I prefer a lighter sauce vs a tomato paste style. The desert was perfect sweetness on a but I expected fresh apples and peaches. Will be back though
