    Brother Fox was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and has a unique charm that makes you want to stay and enjoy every moment. We had George as our server, and he was fantastic. He was attentive, personable, and a great conversationalist who made our evening even more enjoyable. We also had the opportunity to meet Chef Darian, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. His food is phenomenal and truly speaks for itself. We started with the charcuterie board and enjoyed the filet as our entrée—both were absolutely perfect. Every bite was expertly prepared and full of flavor. The drinks were equally impressive and complemented the meal beautifully. To make the experience even better, we stayed at the upstairs hotel and visited the speakeasy. Having exceptional dining, lodging, and cocktails all in one place made it feel like a true one-stop destination. From the food and drinks to the hospitality and atmosphere, everything was top-notch. A perfect experience, and we can’t wait to return!

    We sat outside, so noise was not an issue. But each time I eat here I enjoy it more and more. The food and the service is excellent. Our waiter was George. He was professional, and efficient and we did not feel rushed. The food here is second to none. If I lived closer, I would visit more often!
