Fox & The Knife

"This review is prefaced with the unfortunate angle that Google has no 1/2 stars so this is how I review: 1, why did I even feel the need to write this? - 2, You need to know something was wrong but something made up for it - 3, It was fine, not bad, but not great. That's definitely ok. - 4, I really liked it - this was solid and things rated like this should be "the" standard of service - 5, "Damn, am I in heaven? Who came up with this? Is there a deity behind the line?" First and foremost, the food was really great. I didn't have to change my pants or anything, but if i did, the Fern + Moss candles in the bathroom would've made that recovery delightful. First, Focaccia - that taleggio has just the right amount of salt married to warm crispy outside bread that was screaming if-i-made-you-a-pizza-i-could-die GOOD. I started noticing stark differences in how chef will integrate a really good olive oil and this was no exception - tasty, crunchy, cheesy - delicious. everything you want from a starter. Broccoli Caesar - why tf did I never think of this? the stem shavings alone add a texture to this that really amps the whole dish - very heavy on the citrus but looking to copy-cat it personally. The acidity was high though, so if you're not into tart or lemon, I would steer clear. Great crunch factor but not super dressy. I absolutely hate salads that are doused and limp and this really bolstered flavor and texture. I understand why people love it Tagliatelle Bolognese - Chef really demonstrates an wizardry of pasta with this dish. Unfortunatley, this was our "least favorite dish" out of a group of exceptional dishes. The boar was married to the noodles throughout - an absolute marvel of good pasta an d sauce , but...seasoning needed! I can't blame the protein as I've had boar in similar dishes before but it fell a bit short, sorry to say. I appreciated not over-saucing the dish but I think the lean-ness of the protein got the better of the end-result Milanese Di Maiale - Ok....not fair, you win Karen... I'm not quite sure how exactly they get that much flavor into such a thin breading but g*ddamn...I'm Polish...and I've been all over Germany as well but if I said that was the best breaded cutlet-of-whatever I've had, I could stand by saying that. Hard crisp outside, cool salad to meet that hot crisp - beautiful flavor melody that I'm thinking about a week later. Get this. For real. I usually dont go too far into desserts because its very subjective in that realm and honestly, adding sugar in layers like that isn't even fair. Service was top notch from the door to the table. I hate to call this out, but it was extremely odd to me (having several years behind the belt in service) that a server would be pulled whilst serving multiple tables. TBH it felt weird to be told multiple times that someone else would be finishing service bc "things were slow" when every table was filled? Outside of that, outstanding attention to every detail. It was clear that the staff was well-trained outside of what seemed to be a FOH anomaly. TLDR; Go here, eat bread and pasta, enjoy very italian drinks and leave happy. Highly recommend"

"Great food, drinks, and service 10/10!! Fox & the knife was amazing and it jumped to the top of my list of favorite restaurants. We loved the broccoli caesar & crispy pork! We also enjoyed the drinks and the no-groni was the best mocktail I’ve ever had! We definitely will be back!"

"Amazing dinner start to finish. A personalized menu for our anniversary welcomed us when we sat down. Service was excellent, efficient, and friendly. Broccoli Caesar was tasty and tender, octopus crostini was unexpected but tasty - and the octopus was cooked just right. Tortellini in broth brought me back to Sunday dinner at my grandmother’s house. So good! And the chocolate olive oil cake had a great texture and flavor. Cocktails and wine were also very good. We sat at the Chef’s counter, watching the kitchen at work which was pretty cool- and not as noisy as I would have expected. Overall one of the best dinner experiences we’ve had in a long time."

"This was my first time here; it was recommended by a work colleague. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left, we felt invited, valued and important. The menu had a specialized message for my mother (celebrating a birthday). The wait staff spent time talking with us about the wine and menu. And the food came out in the right time; giving us the space to eat and enjoy each dish. And as a side- the women’s restroom was supplied with everything you need to keep a date-night going. Loved everything about this place!!!"

"Delicious meal here last night! Our waiter, Matthew was super helpful in navigating the menu and making recommendations. For three people we had 2 pastas, the pork, 3 drinks, a dessert, bread and a salad. Each dish was more than enough to share between three of us."
