    This is our second experience in the last month and everything was perfect once again! Service was impeccable, and the food was scrumptious. Loved celebrating our BU grad at The Red Fox!

    Second time visiting the Red Fox and just as great as the first. This time we had a table in the back room. Loved the dark vibe with comfortable leather seats and booth. The service here is top tier and so is the food. Bolo was one of the best I’ve had in the city!

    We were one of the first to arrive when the restaurant opened. We received a warm welcome, and were waiting for a third person. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and the service couldn’t have been better. The pistachio pasta was superb, as was the Parmesan with rigatoni and the steak. We highly recommend the red fox.

    The decor in this restaurant is second to none. It is a great place to either sit for a romantic date or to just grab a cocktail at the bar (the bar is beautiful). Our service was outstanding and the waitress was very patient, answering all of our questions about the menu and explaining the special of the day. As for the food, it was pretty decent. I felt like the seafood could have been more fresh, but it was a Wednesday night and anyone that likes dining knows the freshest seafood is bought on Thursday for the weekend.

    Our server was super patient,friendly and kind! I love how welcome the restaurant made us feel by giving my friend a birthday card and a desert. It added an extra touch! Food was amazing and loved the atmosphere! I’ll definitely be back.
