    Visited Libertine for the first time with family that flew in from out of Town. There are a lot of great restaurants that I usually visit when I can in the North End and I am adding this one to the list. It will become a go to favorite I am certain once I visit again and get the same level experience. The food is fantastic and the 4 people that were with me agreed and each had their own different dishes. Appetizers were awesome. We had Meatballs/Calamari/Barratta Salad. Staff accommodated some severe allergies and did an outstanding job with Gluten Free dining. Everything but the Ravioli is Gluten Free. They also accommodated several substitutions like Mash Potato for Rizzotto... Wine selection was great by the glass. Service was attentive. We did not need to ask for anything at all. This was an early reservation prior to the Bruins game and reservations were a must suggestion if you can swing it. They also have a bar which is pretty nice as well.

    This was my first time at The Red Fox. Good luck finding it. The ambiance of this establishment was amazing. I had bar reservations. The bartender was friendly and made the best drinks on and off of the menu. The pistachio martini was delicious; the martini is offered with or without a scoop of pistachio Gelato. We asked the bartender to make a pretty tequila cocktail and she delivered. The lobster ravioli was so good in the butter sauce. I'm not a fan of risotto, however this was best risotto I've had in a long time. I will definitely return to The Red Fox!
