    Outstanding in all respects. Quiet room in back made it easy to converse. Service attentive and informative. Drinks creative and tasty. All the food was delicious--spreads, walnut/potato fritters, braised beef cheeks, roasted lamb. Baklava plus olive oil ice cream. Can't wait to go back.

    My group of 10 girls celebrating the holidays had an incredible meal and experience at the Red Fox. We had one of the main tables in the bar area, it was a little tight but we knew that going into the reservation! Awesome ambiance… Our server Laurenia went above and beyond to accommodate our group with impeccable service. Brent made all of our drinks and they were delicious. For food we had the following: Apps:Arancini, Caesar Salads, strangolapretti, prosciutto and zeppole Mains: bisteca, chicken parm, vodka pasta, ravioli, and hands down the best lasagna I have ever had. We shared everything and laurenia coursed it out for us! Thanks for a great experience!

    Server actor quickly to see if she could nab for us a dish that was running low—much appreciated. But also disappeared or walked by w/o looking a couple times we needed something. Food superb; could turn down the music just a tad. Patrons seemed to be straining to hear each other

    The food was delicious and I loved the ambience. The cocktails were a bit pricey at $16-$20 but that seems to be the standard here in Boston. If you want to have a romantic and quiet evening I do recommend Terra. Our waiter also gave us a sweet cream gelato to celebrate my fiancé and I’s engagement! It was a great time!

    My wife and I reserved the recommended two weeks ahead of time. I was not able to find the exact time we wanted (6 PM) but we were able to accommodate the 8:15. We showed up a little early. Everyone was great. Food was awesome. My wife had the pasta and scallops. I had the rare dish, wild hare. We shared the affogato. All of it excellent!
