Celebrated my husband’s 60th in an Alpenglobe. Had a lovely time and our server Mark made it very special. We enjoyed our meal and would love to come back again someday. Favorite dish was the pulpo and the bread with special house butter. The mocktails were also lovely. Meat was on the rare side, we ordered medium rare but the center was quite rare. (The pass should have checked for this before sending out.) happy we ordered the Iberico ham. Couldn’t see the Flatirons from where we were, but it was still was a lovely experience.

About the restaurant
Fox and The Hen is inspired by a love of all things breakfast aka #MorningStuff. Here, we believe all the best things happen in the morning: sunrises, coffee drinks, small breakfast burritos tucked in large breakfast burritos and walks of shame.

Born out of Carrie Baird and Michael Fox’s true love for classic American breakfast served with lighthearted twists and an equal passion of all things boozy-brunch-drinks, Fox & The Hen is your new LoHi all-day breakfast concept.

Our focus is bringing friends and family together, incredibly delicious (and fun!) food, creative beverages and having everyone who leaves the Fox & the Hen feel their day is better than when they came in.

We do not seat incomplete parties, sorry.

About the restaurant
The Mishawaka Amphitheatre boasts a full-service restaurant open Thursday-Monday. Dine on our scenic deck while observing the big horn sheep on the canyon hillside, or opt for our indoor seating, which features expansive bay windows for the same river and wildlife vistas. Our spotlighted Craft Micro Brewery, Odell Brewery from Fort Collins, CO, partners with us to feature the exclusive Mishawaka Ale. In addition to this, we offer a comprehensive bar selection, including a variety of craft beers, wines, and spirits.

PLEASE NOTE that reserving an outdoor spot guarantees a table outside but does not guarantee a table by the riverside. We offer a 10-minute grace period for reservations. Your party will be seated only when all members are present, due to our hour and a half limit on table occupancy. Should inclement weather arise, we cannot guarantee outdoor seating at the time of your reservation.

Our establishment is cashless. Kindly ensure you bring a debit or credit card.

Overall the experience was okay except for the seating arrangements. The waiter was a little bit to persistent about not letting us eat as a family at 1 table and wanted to split us up into 2 tables. It is very important and you should accommodate a family that wants to dine together. Especially on an occasion like and elderlies 84th birthday celebration. Henry

It was our anniversary, we were seated in front of the fireplace, wonderful. Seafood appetizer wonderful. Mushroom pasta wonderful, I had cioppino, deep rich tomato broth with fennel and very fresh seafood. We finished with a Catalonia chocolate crème brûlée, so rich and creamy! After a 5 mile hike earlier we were very hungry and very happy with our great dinner. Thank you, L and C

Excellent first experience. We made reservations online, they were ready for us when we arrived. We sat inside due to the wind but loved how much outdoor seating was available. Perfect for groups of all sizes. Impressive menu is ciders and food options. A few items were sold out, but not surprised because they sounded delicious. Started with a flight of ciders - highly recommend! Kids meal was cute served on a metal tray. Everyone enjoyed their food and the atmosphere, we will be back again soon.

About the restaurant
“This Must be the Place”

What's a Wolf Peach, you say? Well, it’s an interesting story.

What we know today as the tomato was first grown as a crop by the Aztec Indians. Spanish explorers brought the tomato back to Europe in the early 1500s.
In England and Germany, they were initially regarded as ornamental, but poisonous, a “wolf peach”. This is because aristocrats experimented with the tomato, but it ended badly—not due to the fruit, but because it was eaten on pewter dishes. Apparently, acids in the tomato leached the highly toxic lead in the pewter dishes, and caused illness and even death in many cases. The “common” folk, however, typically ate on wooden dishes, and had no problem!

Wolf Peach is a place for all of us regular folks. A little uncommon, a little unexpected, a little special. A place for everyone and anyone to enjoy a good hearty meal, scratch-made from Chef Jason Okurowski.

Firday and Saturday evenings will not accomodate parties of larger than 8.
