We pay tribute to the rugged individualism of Pensacola’s unique historic cultural significance, specifically its Spanish influence. Real and super-rustic, the kitchen presents Old World cookery at its roots, with all the layers peeled back. Brother Fox utilizes a live-fire approach to cooking almost everything that we serve, from coal-roasted oysters to Carne Asada for two, served with hot tortillas. Our beautiful outdoor seating sets the stage for a casual meet up with friends for a glass of wine from regions near and far, carafes of Bathtub Gin or Sangrias from the bar. Inside, the cuisine and casually elegant design are the embodiment of a “neighborhood” spot that caters to visitors and residents alike, for special occasions, celebrations, and some of the finest wood-fired cuisine in Pensacola. Imagine food with soul, both exciting and traditional, in a breezy setting, right in the heart of Old East Hill. We are open daily for Dinner at 5pm

    This is my second time going to this location! My girlfriend and I love coming here! The ambiance is quiet, romantic and the food is so good! The cheese appetizer is the BEST part.

    Had a great experience the first time we were there. This time was still good but not the same. the Service in Sister Hen is outstanding. The service this time in Bother Fox, not so much. The room was freezing and our Server forgot to tell the manager to turn the ac off since it was only 50 degrees outside. They were not busy although they were out of some of the menu items that we loved from a couple weeks ago. Special was just the fish of the day. The server did not know that we were in Sister Hen and had Hendricks Gin there and told us they were out in Brother Fox. Waited and they finally served Hendricks Gin. Our Server was very good and I realize they were just doing what they were told - so not their fault. Then we finally tried the Paella - it fell short of all the other items on the menu. The seafood was over cooked and the rice, although cooked - was not crusty as in Spain. So that was a disappointment. Their wine list is awesome and had a little of something for everyone. We will still go there since the appetizers and cocktails and Sister Hen are AMAZING - but just something to think about. Consistency is a big deal - and we are locals. Onward and Upward. We will be back for the experience as I mentioned before.

    Fantastic dining across all culinary areas. Our waiter explained the menu in detail to include information outside the menu applicable to our meal. Chef’s attention to detail, creativity, and taste were impeccable! The chef also took time to visit our table asking for our feedback and offering a test dessert for the upcoming holiday. Lastly, the flavors and taste of each aspect of our meal courses were exquisite! The wagyu beef was sensational, cooked perfectly with its heavy fatty-meat transition. Very tasty flavor hints within the fluffed garnish greens and overlapping the avocado slices in the lobster-shrimp salad were a very nice touch! The Bonsai is a unique high-end Japanese sushi restaurant that caters to a niche palate and wallet. I highly recommend Bonsai to visitors of Pensacola and the beach looking for a unique classy flavorful dining venue!

    What a perfect experience. Drift was clean with perfect lighting and enjoyable views. Our server, Bailey, was all about making our dining pleasurable with professional service. We met the Chef who was very gracious and determined to insure a wonderful dinner. Drift is now my number one dining destination at Pensacola Beach.

    I’ve eaten here 3 times. Everything results in making this my favorite restaurant in the Pensacola, Perdido Key, and eastern Alabama. Had grouper Lyonnaise, amberjack and last night an 8oz filet, shrimp bisque and oysters rockefeller. Couldn’t ask for better. My wife had New Orleans Shrimp & Andouille.
