I also enjoyed a delightful mocktail, pinkies up. We weren't done! We finished up with mouth-watering Tahin dream bars and nice strong coffee. We ate, talked, laughed, and had the best time thanks to this amazing restaurant.

Foxtail is our go to spot. ALWAYS great service and food. The salmon poke bowl is my favorite. The octopus/potato/pepper appetizer is fantastic. The wings are amazing, they are seasoned so well. Oysters were so fresh. Lobster appetizer 10/10.

I have been here a few times but never left a review , me and my mom and sister came to the bar on Saturday night , amazing music, food and atmosphere . The krombacher beer is amazing , the bartender Stephen took care of us and had great recommendations. Another great experience here. Also Alexa was super sweet and cheery and she chatted with us, offered to take pictures and took great pics! :) we will be back . Very friendly staff, good atmosphere and good quality . The beet salad, hummus plate, grilled octopus, and the crab claws are all great dishes . Thank you!
