    Superb food. The warm semolina cakes were special. The casarecce was delicious as well and the pistachio gelato (pardon my sweet tooth) was excellent! Great hospitality, the server was super helpful and knowledgeable. Giulia also accommodated my request for vegetarian food by providing us with an off-the-menu appetizer and main course option, even though their menu had vegetarian options. The quality of everything we had was top-notch. The food was paced well. We noticed that as we were there at 8:45 PM, absolutely famished! Totally worth another visit!

    Atmosphere was very cool! Nachos were super hot with the jalapeños … the wings were quite massive in size. Would recommend pre-game.

    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!
