| - First thing's first... steak isn't modern, it was like the caveman's first meal. So, if you aren't cooking it on a spaceship... lay off the trickery! :)
Fox Rest's are pretty much Hit or Miss, and people either love or hate the decor. Personally, I don't mind the decor. It's different, and pretty fun. The uniforms are fun, dudes in lavender with chuck taylor's. The girls in short and tight denim colored rompers.
This just isnt as good as Morton's... but it ranks up there with some pretty good steakhouses. Most of the steak is grain fed, which generally makes for a much fattier, juicier steak. You don't order a steak for health, so get over it. I did, however, go with the natural grass fed organic Meyer Natural Angus 12oz NY Strip. It's grass fed for the first few months, then organic grain fed for the last few weeks to fatten it up before the slaughter. It was very very good, especially for a NY Strip.
The sides serve 2, we ordered 3 for 4 people and it was more than enough. Asparagus was pretty thick but not too tart. The brussles sprouts were seasoned well and very good. Sweet potato puree with burnt marshmallow is incredible. (It could totally be a dessert!)
The servers are knowledgeable, the food is good and the drinks are very well poured. The wine list is fairly extensive but not crazy.
Only complaint I have is that the Valet service isnt dedicated to this restaurant (nor any), it costs $7, not a huge deal if they are there all night. But they leave at 10:30pm. Seems to be early on a Saturday night. For $7, i should be able to enjoy my dinner without looking at my watch to make sure the valet wont lock up my keys. Pretty friggin lame.
All in all... I dig this place and will certainly come back.
