I went to Foxly for the first time last week and wow. Literally everything was exceptional. 10/10 would recommend.

Gorgeous back patio and the food is so tasty and unique! I loved all the flavours of every dish and this is definitely an underrated spot that deserves more hype!
Absolutely delight experience. Their shrimp dish blew me away.

Service was a negative…. Came in during ossington fest. No line up.. the Asian lady came and asked us if we wanted a table for drinks or dinner. We said we’re doing drinks and some appetizers. She replied” sorry no snacks here”.. then left us standing at the door for 10 minutes

Underrated! I was surprised by how much I fell in love with this place. The menu is small, but each item is carefully crafted and clearly has been perfected over many years.
There were 2 specials - one being a whole grilled bone-in mackerel which was better than some of the whole fishes I've had in places like Greece. Oh and that EGGPLANT....oh my...how do they get it like that?!
The service is not as quick as you may get at other restaurants, but that is because they are preparing every dish to order. Just give yourself some extra time for dining.
The staff are so lovely. Back patio is fabulous.
One critique, which seems to be common across many reviews, is that the portion sizes really could do with being a bit bigger. The beef short ribs in particular were tiny.

Menu says they can’t accommodate food allergies/sensitivities for anything on the menu. That sounds like an unclean and messy kitchen

Great little restaurant with excellent flavours. It wasn't too clear on the menu or website but this is definitely a family style restaurant meaning that if you're with a group you'll want to order a few dishes and share them. I recommend the kale salad and the spare ribs. The ribs had amazing flavour with a hint of spice. The atmosphere on the back patio is also great and really private. You could really hear the busy street/city noise back there which was nice.
(One minor thing.... The patio chairs were hard to be comfortable in, they are angled backwards and quite awkward to sit in)

The arctic char ceviche with green apple and ginger is incredible.

Came here for an anniversary dinner with my husband and daughter. Specifically reserved for three of us “two adults and a toddler”. They sat us at a table for two, with two chairs and no high chair. There was a table for 4 beside us. We asked if could have that table. “Sorry, it’s reserved.” But then a lone man walked in, was given some seating options, and requested the table for 4 be pulled apart for him to sit. Clearly the table adjacent to us was not reserved. We were clear our daughter was ordering food. She was sat awkwardly between two intimate tables and expected to have her meal on her lap. We decided to leave. If we hadn’t, surely whichever couple ended up beside us sat one inch from 3 year old would have complained instead. Never have I been at a restaurant that doesn’t treat children as customers worthy of a seat.
Edit** Sorry, owner, but that’s just not true.

Fantastic night at the Foxley! Great service and amazing food as always. I bring my friends from out of town here. Try the Side Ribs if they're available!

Horrible experience with the host. After waiting by the door for couple of minutes (!) just for the host to receive us, after asking for a table of 5, simply said I have no table. No sorry, no waiting time, no explanation whatsoever. Horrible behaviour for someone that is working in the hospitality business!!!
Really like this place. For what you get, I think the prices are really fair. Back patio is a great spot for dinner in the summer. No resos, which is what it is. Honestly wish more places didn't take resos.

Make no mistake — Foxley is the arguably best restaurant in Toronto, period. The menu doesn’t change much and the chef does all the dishes pretty perfectly, every single time. Arctic char ceviche, scallop ceviche, crispy shrimp, blue crab salad and white fish in truffle broth are my favourites, but we’ve ordered everything on the menu at this point and no dish ever misses. Also, the chef and his wife and just the sweetest and most amazing people you’ll ever meet. We feel quite at home when we come here with our 3 old (who has proclaimed foxley as his favourite restaurant and demolishes two bowls of white fish in broth in one sitting).

The food was good but not great.
Service was slow.
Extremely hard to have a conversation, bathrooms weren't the cleanest.
