I felt a little like Goldilocks in this place. I'd long been searching for a good wine bar close to Uptown, but The Wine Loft was too dark and food/wine was underwhelming and the Vin Master is too bright and empty. Enter Foxcroft with their perfect lighting and stellar execution. I had long heard about how great their original location is with a great selection of wines and stellar food. In fact Tonya P used to waitress there and said it was the bomb.com (her words, not mine). Because it was outside of my 4 mile radius it was never destined to be a regular spot of mine but their new Dilworth location on East is perfect!
You may miss that they are situated at the endcap of Kenilworth Commons facing East because they don't have signage yet, but follow the happy sound of revelers inside (parking can be tough sometimes). Inside their modern clean interiors features a bar, tons of walls of wines (and some craft brews) as well as some small and community tables. During good weather, there are plenty of tables outside under the bistro lights. On a Saturday night it already gets packed with the prep set and is hard to get a spot. Even on a Monday night it gets fairly noisy with the music and din from the crowd.
But the nuts... (TWSS!) Their food is outstanding and I only tried a couple things. If you just need an accompaniment to their fantastic wine, their smoked nuts are a solid choice for $6. Their order of Spanish olives is large so be prepared to bring home leftovers. Tonya stands by the burger so I look forward to trying it and some of the other things on the menu. My friends loved the sliders.
Bottom line - if you want a wine bar with sensational servers/sommeliers, food and just the right ambiance close to Dilworth/Sedgefield/Myers Park, head here.
