    Food was reasonably priced and tasted decent. Wait times for drinks was excessive. No one bussed the table for the entirety of the visit. Overall not horrible but could have been much better.

    Great service, vey good food, reasonable prices, only downside was the music was way too loud. I get having it that loud later on once the kitchen is closed and people are just having drinks but if you want to eat and talk to your wife, partner, friends etc maybe try somewhere else. But we really enjoyed it.

    We loved Fox on John, went there for dinner with my family of 4 (kids are 12) before a show. I made the reservation the same day and didn’t really know what the place would be like and it exceeded expectations tenfold! Food was excellent and came out quick! Our server was wonderful and the ambience was fun and lively….highly recommend!!!

    Thoroughly enjoyed the margaritas and tacos. Our server, David was amazing! But we did find it very loud, especially for an early dinner, which made it difficult to hear the person sitting beside you.

    This past Friday we'd planned a special birthday dinner for my father, hoping for a "stunning experience" as advertised, but unfortunately, our visit was anything but. From the moment we arrived, things went downhill. We were left waiting for an agonizing half an hour before anyone even acknowledged us to take a drink order. This was particularly frustrating given it was a special occasion. To make matters worse, we had specifically chosen this restaurant because we were assured the patio was wheelchair-friendly. This was not the case. My father, who uses a wheelchair, faced multiple obstacles trying to navigate the space, making what should have been a pleasant outing incredibly difficult and frustrating. Then, the weather took a turn. It started to rain, and while the staff scrambled to put up umbrellas for other diners, they seemed unprepared for our table. When they attempted to put up an umbrella for us, they realized they didn't have the proper equipment. At this point we decided to leave. What was supposed to be a joyful birthday celebration turned into a truly disheartening experience. The lack of basic service, the misleading information about accessibility, and the inability to handle a simple rain shower left us with no choice but to abandon our dinner plans. We had hoped for a memorable evening, but instead, we left feeling incredibly let down. We won't be returning.

    We had the pleasure of being served by Isabel, and she was absolutely incredible! From the moment we sat down, she set a warm, welcoming vibe and made us feel totally taken care of. Even though the place was packed, our food and drinks arrived quickly and perfectly timed. We ordered a couple of appetizers, and they came out piping hot—clearly, Isabel was totally on top of everything. We were also checked in on by a manager named Jack, who took the time to chat with us, which added a nice personal touch to the experience. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Isabel as your server!
