    The food and service was beyond delicious. Cocktails were creative and fun. The hostess was gracious, however, their is a tall woman who has been stern and completely rude every time I am at Red Fox. It is such a turn off I have to think about whether I spend another meal at the restaurant.

    Great service, great food, and great ambience!  I came here for dinner with a couple of my college friends. We had the chicken Parm, lobster ravioli, and spaghetti and meatballs… They were all excellent.

    Food was very good. One of our cocktails was not good and the service as average at best. Waiter totally ignored us. It is a great place recommend it, but service was not good.

    Our server was great! Drinks were amazing, as was the atmosphere. It was very hard to find, and as locals this was especially off putting. The food was subpar for the price

    We went to the red fox for my husband’s birthday and it was amazing! Would highly recommend. We had bar seats but the entire place looked cool so even a dining room table would have been an experience. The only reason I gave 4 stars for service was because it was a little slow ordering our food but it was packed so no shame on them. I get it, and we didn’t mind taking our time and enjoying the atmosphere. I got the rigatoni which was so good but spicy so if you like a little spice then go for it. The meatballs were a great app and the drinks were so good! Loved the espresso martinis. Will def be going back!

    The waitress who was working the bar as well, was pleasant and answered all our questions. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary with our grown children and they had a pretty little picture and card wishing us a happy celebration! Such a nice surprise when we were seated. Loved that, the attention to details from smaller more intimate restaurants is so refreshing. Food was sooooo delish!!! The prosciutto and zeppole as well as the lasagna, was amazing! We will be back when we come to the Boston area again!

    Such a fun and intimate spot! Was the date night spot with my husband that I was hoping for during our short trip to Boston. Portions are generous and ideal to split. Would highly recommend!

    The Red Fox delivers an exceptional dining experience. The food is outstanding, with every dish showcasing quality ingredients and expert preparation.

For a memorable evening of great food, amazing cocktails, and superb service, The Red Fox is a must-visit.
