Delicious food. Great service. Only complaint was the seating. Even though there were many open tables we were seated right next to another table that was very close. We had to move our tables over a bit to give some place next to the couple next to us. Felt very cramped

Dinner was excellant,...food was on point! The restaurant was noisy but that is due to the bar and live music which is part of the experience. Our waitress was not the greatest,....just wasn't very attentive and not very friendly. However, the manager payed our table a visit and he was great. Overall, the food was excellant and will definately put the Lost Fox on my dinner rotation.
