Foxley

My friend and I dined at Foxley after being waitlisted at another restaurant. Foxley had been on my list of restaurants to try, so figured why not. The restaurant was not busy on a Friday night and I did not realize it was a tapas style, because I was really hungry and not planning to spend too much money that night. We ordered: 1.Spicy crispy shrimp with jalapeño and garlic. 2. Pan fried lamb and duck prosciutto dumplings. 3. Grilled marinated beef short ribs. 4. Braised beef cheek in red curry. 5. Rice. I found it was a bit pricey for what you get, although the food was good. The pan fried dumplings were very overwhelming with lamb that you barely taste any duck. I did find the food overly salty. I don’t think I would return for a second time

While the food was flavorful and well-prepared, I was a bit disappointed by the portion sizes given the price. The dishes were tasty, with a nice mix of traditional and inventive flavors, but for what I paid, I expected more food. It's a shame because the quality was there, but the value just isn’t enough to make me want to return. Overall, it’s a decent experience

A friend and I had a lovely meal here last night. Very lovely and friendly staff, very quality food, great wine list, well priced. Will definitely be returning. The ceviche is a must try. I had the arctic chard but I am sure all three are excellent.

Went for dinner at this place that was recommended and read some reviews. The restaurant is small and atmosphere is so-so. I asked the waitress for advise for a smooth red wine but was served the opposite… would not exchange it… not a big deal. Ordered few dishes, the taste was nothing special… have had better food other restaurants. So stingy on the amount of hot sauce provided. The service was ok but the attitude of the waiter was unacceptable… truly rude and obnoxious… based on this I would not recommend this place.

Finally made it here as it’s been on my list for a long time and honestly, it did not disappoint. Came here with a friend so I could maximize the dishes we could order and I’m glad I did because every plate was so delicious, nothing remained leftover. We went with the two of the three specials this evening, ordering a beef cheek skewer & hand roll, we also opted for the kale salad, sea bream ceviche & of course one of each of the desserts: the black sticky rice pudding and Vietnamese coffee crème brûlée. Every single dish we shared was absolutely delicious. Every single dish was hot & fresh and perfect portion. Service was excellent, ambiance was amazing, bathrooms and restaurant itself was clean, just a wonderful experience all around! I cannot wait to come back here with some more friends and try more items! Thanks for a fantastic evening! Keep doing what you’re doing & keep up the great work! I look forward to coming back!

I’m glad I was finally able to try Foxley because so many people have been talking about it. I’m all about leaving a restaurant and having that feeling of I can’t wait to go back. While I enjoyed my experience, I just didn’t have that feeling. We started with drinks and I loved the French beer I chose. I love a good saison and this was the highlight of my dinner. Food was good, but not great. We ordered what was recommended to us and some dishes that stood out on the menu. The crispy shrimp and grilled hanger steak were dishes we enjoyed although I thought the hanger steak was a little heavy on the vinegar. The beef cheek curry was very fatty but the curry sauce was yummy especially with the rice. I would get the vegetable curry over the beef unless you’re into fatty cuts. The dumplings were tasty but if you aren’t keen on lamb definitely don’t get them! Out of everything we tried I would say the miso eggplant is a dish I would recommend. It had nice flavour. There were two of us and we ordered 6 dishes. We felt full but with the hype of this place I had hoped for that special feeling! Give it a try and see what you think!

Went here for dinner and sat outside their patio. Food was interesting, I liked majority of the dishes, but just wish the portions could be a tad bigger. The menu does change as they cater to what’s in season. The shrimp and curry were definitely my favourite. The servers were also accommodating to allergies, but couldn’t guarantee cross contamination.

This spot came highly recommended by a friend, so we went to try it on a Wednesday night. The space and service was warm and friendly. Lots of natural light flooding into the restaurant as the sun was setting, which was perfect since it was too cold to be out on the patio. Everything on the menu sounded amazing so it was hard to choose, but we loved everything we ordered. Just fun sharing plates with inventive flavours. I especially loved the sea bream ceviche and the special of the day (a pork belly wrapped in a crispy pancake. The pickled vegetables in it kept it fresh and not heavy/greasy-feeling). We tried a couple cocktails too which were also on point. I'll definitely be back!
