Came here for a gathering with some friends and this place was amazing. The food was so unique and also very quality. Servers were kind and the place even looked so welcoming!

This place is just as good as the Des Plaines location. Not so much art here but they do have a very rare Martin Whatson hanging above the bar!

I love the Lebanese/Levant inspired menu. Octopus is amazing. Scallops way too salty and the risotto had a ham-like taste but the fresh mushrooms were a treat. Drinks were very good.

Underwhelming food that is overpriced. We ordered scallops and risotto - scallops were delicious but risotto was tomato-based and did NOT have good flavor - nor did it pair well with the scallops. Appetizers were great but we asked for a few more slices of bread and were charged for it. Atmosphere was very nice and service was almost too attentive, as staff was repeatedly trying to take our plates before we were finished. Would not recommend and would not return.

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.

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.

Service and vibe were nice. Food was average at best. Chicken schwarma rolls were bland and tasted like frozen food.

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, all 3 servers behind the bar made sure to come over periodically and make sure everything was to our liking. Stephen in particular was awesome and made great recommendations!

Everything was amazing and I'm so glad we gave this establishment a try. We'll definitely be back!

We love Foxtail. My son came in to town for a visit and all he asked for was dinner at Foxtil. Nate and the entire staff are amazing and 100% focused on pleasing the customer.

We had our 3rd anniversary here. It was nice with a great atmosphere and good food. The service was ok: a little slow, but it was busy, so they get a pass!

What a gem of a restaurant. Incredibly kind and attentive service. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. We enjoyed both drinks on the mocktail menu (we wished there were more!). Everyone’s meals were exquisite and delicious. We loved the expansive array of menu choices. Such a wide variety of well thought out dishes. The setting was beautiful. Lovely design throughout. Everyone at The Foxtail really made us feel special. Such an enjoyable experience.
