Burratta appetizer and salad were a great start. Hamachi was really good. Everything was so good, already planning our next trip to try the pork chop.
Food was amazing and service was excellent. Best thing was that everything felt very well paced. Never rushed but always moved along at the right time.

Platinum Partners just hosted the most fabulous holiday party at Foxtail this week. It’s a beautiful venue with both great service and great food! All of our agents were raving about it, and we had a wonderful afternoon. Perfect venue for our holiday party!

Very good food but gave us the worst table right in main walkway and very small. Highly recommend Brick chicken

Two words: Lobster Dynamite. Oh my goodness. Doesn’t have that funky seafood scent. I do three orders of it and that is my meal. Everything else is fine, but the star of the show is the Lobster Dynamite.
Decor and dine-in accommodations are beautiful. Overall, a solid pick in the burbs.
Decadent cuisine excellent portions. I swoon over the ambience.
The staff are never the same that is my only gripe.
Great spot.

Really disappointed in our experience here. We had a reservation and were sat at a table near the bar. Normally, we’d say this is no problem at all! However, Foxtail allowed so many people to crowd in by the bar and stand while waiting for tables that they made it an absolutely miserable experience for us. In the first five minutes we were seated, we had the group that was standing bump in to us 3-4 times, and waiters/patrons walking by bump in to us another 4-5 times.
I took it upon myself to ask if we could move to the bar, where we had good service. We were also able to actually have a conversation seated at the bar since we could actually hear one another However, it really left a sour taste in our mouth: how can you have a restaurant set up so poorly that you have patrons and staff falling into one another?
The food and drinks were incredibly average. I would say I’d consider coming back if we’d had a better time, but I really don’t think we’ll be back. Very disappointed.

This was my first time at this restaurant and I will definitely be back! The restaurant has a cozy yet airy feel to it. The decor is super cute! The food and drinks were delicious, complex and all well balanced. The service was amazing from the receptionist to our wonderful server Robert, everyone was super nice. Robert was knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and was attentive. One of the best experiences I’ve had at a restaurant across the board in years. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I can’t wait to go back!

What a great place, lots of seating, huge wrap around bar, a live DJ, and clean bathrooms. Our waiter, Robert was fantastic, very attentive, and had great recommendations. My friend and I shared the garlic labneh which was a mouthful of garlic that I loved, the maine lobster dynamite that had a slight kick to it which was delicious, and the tahini dream bars were nothing like I've tasted before, To drink, I had the one night in Morocco which had a lot of flavors to it and the white chocolate pistachio martini that also had many flavors to it, both were good but I wouldn't order either of them again. I can't wait to come back and try more of their other food items.
