| - I really want to give this place 3.5 stars. After reading all of the reviews about Foxy, I knew it was a place I needed to try. I Made a reservation for 2 on Friday night at 9:15 with ease. In short, it was good, but I'm not sure it lived up to the hype.
Atmosphere: Small and cozy are the two words that come to mind. It's a long and narrow building with lots of 2 and 4 tops packed tightly next to each other. Definitely not a place for groups. The staff does a great job of making you feel welcome. My only suggestion is to request a table in the front of the restaurant, because the back of the house gets really warm, thanks to the giant brick oven.
Drinks and Wine list: Nothing spectacular, and the wines by the glass were pretty weak and I think this is what knocked it down from 4 stars. Decent restaurants will have offer a few good wines by the class for couples who can't agree on red or white. I ordered a Manhattan and it was pretty good, considering I'm this far from Manhattan!
Food: Overall, pretty good. We had the pork chop and the sea bass. the pork chop was a solid 5, easily among the best I have ever had. Cooked perfectly and the sweet and spicy flavors of the dish really just worked. I mean, this placed nailed it. The sea bass was pretty unremarkable and I would not order again. We split the winter cole slaw which had apple, brussels sprout leaves and duck confit. Definitely delicious, but it coagulated quickly and got pretty unappealing. For dessert, we split something along the lines of a chocolate mouse. Good to share if you just wan't a taste of something sweet to finish off the meal, but not impossible to finish alone.
