I had waited a couple of days for my Saturday seafood extravaganza and all of my hopes and dreams came to fruition. My wife and I have been disappointed in our last few visits to a couple of other Fox Restaurant Concepts but this one was a homerun.
Upon arrival, I must say our experience was off to a bit of a bad start since valet was our only means of parking. Come on, we are not in downtown Phoenix here. I refused to pay to park on 7th St. and Bethany Home. My lovely wife embraced my plan to walk from a closed business that was a few extra steps away. Or maybe she just noticed how annoyed I was :).
Anyway, Little Cleo's food made up for my initial frustration. We started our dinner off with the popular warm king crab in a jar and a few of their $1 shrimp (happy hour). The shrimp were fresh and tasty. As for the Crab in a jar, WOW!!!!!!!!!!! LOVED IT!!!!!!!! The crab swimming in warm butter and served with a side of perfectly cooked bread. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! Our very nice waitress even provided extra bread for dipping.
For dinner, we tried the Maine lobster roll and the bouillabaisse. The lobster roll was good. The bread as other Yelpers have mentioned was the best part of the dish. In my opinion, and this is coming from a lobster roll lover, the lobster needed to stay true to the dish and I felt like it was dressed up too much. It came with a tasty side of coleslaw. Now the bouillabaisse, YUMMYYYYY!!!! It was filled with perfectly cooked scallops, mussels, and shrimp. The broth was awesome and again, they provided some bread to soak it all up.
Lastly, since we checked in on Yelp upon arrival and purchased two entrees, we were given a free dessert. My wife saw sticky toffee pudding on the menu and I knew there would be no changing her mind. Once the dish came out and we took a few bites, I could tell my wife was in love. She has now told me she wants the dessert as her last meal before going to heaven. I guess I will have to see what I can do. The dish came out in a jar similar to the warm lobster and my wife and I decided that anything in a jar here is money. The pudding/cake was super warm and the toffee with ice cream was very good.
All in all we had a very nice meal and would definitely go back. I did forget to add that the restaurant is connected to other establishments that I believe are also FOX restaurants and it can be a little hard to notice at first. Once in though, the courtyard and grounds are very nice and it appears to be a very popular spot to hang out with friends and family. A very nice dinner spot indeed. Now if only they would get rid of that dang valet they list as complimentary.
