My wife and I have been to the Lost Fox twice: Once for Brunch and once for Dinner; both times for special occasions. In our view The Lost Fox Hideaway is an outstanding restaurant, the best we've been to in Northern VA in many years. On these occasions we've sampled the following dishes: I'm Smashed Toast; Seared Tuna; Bourbon Glazed Pork Belly; Sweet Potato Flan; a champagne split; Seared Duck Breast; Grilled Lamb Chops cooked in mint with Hand - Cut Fries, Peach Creme Brulee, Guinness Stout, and coffee on both occasions. Every dish and sauce was cooked and presented superbly, and the desserts were outstanding, especially, the sweet potato flan. Both the regular coffee and the decaf were excellent on our first brunch visit. On our second dinner visit, the decaf was still excellent, but the regular coffee, though pleasant, wasn't as full-bodied as on our first visit. We inquired about that, and our server said that while he wasn't present during our earlier visit he had heard that the restaurant had changed its brewing process between our first and second visit, and perhaps that accounted for the difference. If so, we recommend that the restaurant return to its earlier brewing process. Moving to Lost Fox Service, on both occasions we found the service unusually attentive and responsive and rate it as outstanding. The pricing at The Lost Fox is rated high in most reviews. But we believe that given the quality of the food, the cooking and the service, the prices are fair and the restaurant provides great value for the money. Summing up: right now The Lost Fox is our favorite restaurant in Northern Virginia, and we intend to return there for all our special occasions. We wholeheartedly recommend it to others looking for an exceptional dining experience.

The service was good and so was the food, but the quantity was not a lot. We ordered an appetizer and it was a very small plate. Entree was small too, would have been nice to have bread served with it. Drinks were awesome. There was a table of 7 people behind us that were only drinking (with no food). It was like they were having their own little party. They were so loud, we couldn’t hear each other at all. We had to literally yell in order to be heard. No one said a thing to them to quiet down, and they continued to be served. The other thing was that the outside was completely opened up so it was extremely hot in the restaurant. Being on the top floor, of course heat rises. We chose not to sit outside because it was hot out, but it didn’t seem like the air conditioner was on in the dining room.

We really wanted to like this place after reading the reviews (and love the hunt theme) but the experience truly fell short. The only item we enjoyed was the crab dip, it was tasty and the toasted pita was a nice accompaniment. The Rigatoni Bolognese was flavorless, the pesto gnocchi was overcooked, and the French dip was light on the prime rib despite the $31 price point. I think our server’s heart was in the right place, but she checked on us so many times that we felt like she was trying to get rid of us. This was compounded by the fact that our entrees came out 5 mins after our appetizer hit the table. They need to work on coursing meals out. Additionally, the open table dress code needs to be updated- this place is not business casual. There are some staff members running around in jean shorts and casual tank tops. I would recommend this place for drinks and live music, not for a nice dinner.
