| - Oh Foxley, we had such a wonderful time with you.
Came here to on a Wednesday night to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and got seated in my favourite spot in any restaurant - at the bar. I love sitting at the bar because water service is frequently on point, you can observe the on goings of the open kitchen (if there is one), watch the bartenders in action and converse with the servers. Also, I love to sit right beside my company.
Protip: bar seats are great if you're on a date, an accidental thigh bump or intentional arm graze helps heat up the evening.
What we ate:
- Lamb and duck prosciutto gyozas (4/5) - Boiled then pan fried Asian style dumplings. The lamb has delightfully gamey and the soup inside the dumplings had a sweet tone. Minor bump in rating because two of our dumplings had punctured skins.
- Salmon tataki with avocado salad (5/5) - A special for the night; my saliva glands are raging as I'm recalling the tastes in this dish. Thick slices of salmon with perfectly seared edges and a raw middle served on a bed of arugula salad mixed in wasabi mayo dressing. I'm underselling this dish, there was a gingery kicker in the salad dressing and all I remember was the party happening in my mouth. Order this if you see it on the special's menu.
- Grilled hanger steak with chimichurri (4/5) - Solid piece of meat. Chimichurri was a nice topping to the meat. Tender cut of steak, however a few slices required a few too many chews.
- Grilled pike mackerel (5/5) - We love mackerel, this was grilled and seasoned simply. Our server helped us debone the spine before diving in. It was light and flaky.
- Ginger molasses pork side ribs (5/5)- There were so many great choices on the menu we couldn't decide and asked our server to pick a meat dish for us. This was our "surprise" dish from the kitchen. Sweet, gingery molasses smeared on fall off the bone pork side ribs. It was the perfect sweet and savory way to end our meal. These bad boys aren't on the menu, so put in a friendly request!
Our server Yvan (not pounced Y-van or E-van, but Yvan like Ivan with a French flair), was absolutely fantastic. He helped us decide what to order, provided killer recommendations and surprised us with special dishes when our taste buds were indecisive. We ended the night off with trading a list of our favourite eateries. Can't wait to try these next.
Eat here!
Summary:
Food (4.5/5) - See ratings above.
Service (10/10) - knowledgeable, friendly, entertaining and warm servers - restaurants should follow the hospitality of the servers here at Foxley.
Atmosphere (10/10) - Hip interior design with an exposed brick accent wall. Lots of tables for two, great for a date spot. Groups of 2+ are possible, could be a slight wait for groups larger than 4.
Oh did I say...Eat here!
