Had a great dinner at Red Fox! The pasta was delicious and couldn’t go wrong with the vodka or pesto option. We sat at the bar and the bartender Brent was friendly, kind, and made our experience better.

This was our first time at The Red Fox and we had a wonderful time! The space is small, cozy, and the vibe is reminiscent of a speakeasy. We loved everything from the ambiance to the playlist. We started with mocktails (not on menu, but the waitress had a few options in mind for us to choose from)- we opted for the limoncello mocktail- it was light and refreshing. We ordered the shrimp cocktail to start, split the caesar salad, then he had the lobster ravioli, I had the bolognese. They offer a tall slice of focaccia to start--it was incredible! The bread was so light and fluffy, it was one of the highlights of our meal. Everything was executed well. I would have liked more sauce w/ the bolognese- the fresh tagliatelle was hand cut and cooked to perfection but with little sauce (and a lot of meat) the middle portion was a bit dry and sticky. The caesar salad was great! It includes anchovies but those must be in the dressing which is great for those who like the flavor without seeing the actual fish. The wine by the glass list could use some improvement but otherwise, the staff were wonderful and the food was fantastic. If you're looking for a less traditional Italian restaurant vibe but still want fresh pasta and fresh bread, this is the spot!

Overall, food was delicious and drinks were great. Did seem like there might be staffing issues so service was a little slow and we never got our gelato for the birthday we were celebrating but overall was still an excellent experience and the vibes were vibing

The ambiance was amazing but the food was not impressive by any means, friendly staff but once again the food was low quality. Great place to get a drink but go somewhere else for food.
