This place is AMAZING! From the food to the drinks to the service! We are so happy we decided to stop here on a whim. Chelsea was friendly and recommended a sandwich I ended up loving. 10/10! ⭐️
I ordered broiled scallops. They were overcooked, rubbery, and lacking in flavor. Hugely disappointing. I'm sorry, but if you're charging $45 for scallops, for God's sake cook them properly. This was our anniversary, and our dinner was a huge disappointment. Service was good, ambience good, but the food was not.
In the past I have enjoyed the eggplant parmesan at the Red Fox,.and I might return again for this dish. But I will never again order seafood off their menu.

I was really looking forward to this restaurant. First off, they serve warm white bread (I've never seen that) then the French onion soup was so salty, it was inedible. Then the prime rib came so tough. I could barely cut it with a knife. Yes, it's a generous size but barely edible too. Desert was tiramisu and I was soggy. The best part.......our waiter had us waiting for lengthy periods of time for everything. In fact I'm writing this review while awaiting to pick up check. Don't waste your money here.......

I've been here a half dozen times and always raved about the filet. After an adventurous afternoon my girlfriend, friend, and myself went there for dinner. Yes, we were under dressed. The waiter acted like we were not going to tip from the get go. I tried the shrimp scampi and it had far far too much lemon. I ate one whole shrimp in a bite, cut two to see if it was just the one who happened to get the most of it (these things happen). I told the waiter it was too sour to eat. Tried to pick at the rice. After ignoring my comment he asked later if I wanted a box like everyone else and I again said it was inedible. He acted like it was a scam to get a free meal. It was the first time in my life I felt like I was treated like a scumbag who wasn't worth the effort and just wanted us out of there. I was still in a polo but the girls were in athletic attire. This meal was absolutely nothing to break the bank, so you might want to introduce your servers to some manners.

On the way back from paddling on Long Lake, we decided to stop at the Red Fox. We’ve been driving past it for years, but never stopped in so we gave it a go. I have to say the food was phenomenal and the service was exceptional. We started out with a beer and one of their signature cocktails, and they brought us some fresh bread and butter, which we really enjoyed after paddling all day. I got the veal Parm and my bodyguard got the fillet. The veal Parm was exceptionally well prepared paperthin and extremely tasty. I was lucky enough to try some of the fillet and it was seasoned to perfection and I really enjoyed it. We had the lemon Italian cake for dessert and my God It was the perfect way to end the meal. Sara was our server and even though she has a Canadian accent she’s local from just down the road from the Red Fox. She was supported by a very professional team that would come by and pick up the plates, but they would always say excuse me ma’am, or sir, to make us aware that they were there instead of sneaking up on us. Extremely professional operation I can’t say that enough. If you’re ever driving by, I would definitely drop in and give it a try.

Great reviews by others, but. Nice atmosphere, but a bit of a challenge to go up steps to dining room. After climbing up steps we were told about rear unmarked ramp entrance. Waiter Owen was friendly and attentive. We had a party of four. Most enjoyed the food except for me. Onion soup was great. My Expensive Prime rib was over cooked and dry! Had to request Au Jus to take away dryness but did not help. Also baked potato was not even warm and undercooked. Yes I could have sent back, but that sort of would have ruined dinner flow for others. ALSO NOTE THEY ADD 3% IF YOU USE A CREDIT CARD. Do not think I would visit again in the future.

Delicious food ! amazing wait staff! couldn’t ask for a better experience! Highly recommend!
Make sure to have the tiramisu for dessert!
Not overly busy but it seems a very large man was completely invisible at front entrance. Waitress walked by twice and never once looked at me. Haven't been there awhile, which was excellent but not today. I left restaurant unserved
