I only ate there out of convenience because I was buying a new mixer and it was located in the store. The charred salmon was perfectly cooked and had hummus and fresh vegetables beneath it. I absolutely loved it. The waffle fries and aioli were the perfect starter. Very crispy fries. Delicious. It ended with the piña colada cake. A coconut cake with caramelized pineapple and ice cream with candied nuts. Omg it was so good. I was disappointed that they no longer serve the chipotle watermelon margarita, but they put gin in my watermelon Fresca and it was so fresh and delicious. I'd eat here again even if I didn't need to shop here

We got: Curry waffle fries: 3/5 only complaint is I wish they were crispier. Another 1-2 minutes in the fryer would have made it amazing. Tomato soup: 2/5 there was something oddly sweet inside that was not tomato-y. Sour dough: 5/5 I believe they source their bread from the publican! Seared Salmon: 4/5 my partner got it and it was yum! Overall we would swing by to grab lunch when we are nearby.

The outdoor patio was cute and shielded from traffic with high wall dividers. Food wasn't the highlight, but I would come back to try other dishes. White Chocolate Pistachio Martini $14 - Not too sweet, nor too strong, good flavors. Grilled Octopus $20 - Small portion, tender octopus. Chicken Wings $17 - 8 meaty wings, naked, skin was slightly crispy and caramelized. Salmon Poke Bowl $19 - Simple and straight forward salmon poke bowl. The fries were crispy and delicious. For our birthday celebration, they gave us a yummy brownie and ice cream with a little candle. Reservations can be made on Resy. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026

Another great dinner at Foxtail!…read more We had to come back to try more of the menu, and this time we ordered: * Pork belly bruschetta: 5/10. Unfortunately, this one wasn't for me. The pork belly, ciabatta, and balsamic were all good individually, but together the flavors just didn't work. It felt mismatched... * Colorado lamb kebab: 10/10. This is one of the more $$ entrées on the menu, but it's absolutely worth it. The portion was generous, the lamb was high quality, and the artichoke pesto paired really well with the rich, gamey flavor. The roasted pearl onions were a great addition too. I would definitely recommend this dish. * Foxtail paella: 8/10 flavorful orzo paella loaded with seafood. Definitely a sharing type of entree! Always a great time at Foxtail with great food and great service!

Bottom Line: Family run, good food, pleasant experience, overall decent value…read more First time here. This Greek family-run diner/restaurant is not much to look at from the outside. You could drive right by thinking it was a vacant building except for all the cars in the lot. The notion of vacant building is dispelled immediately upon entry. The place is busy, loud, vibrant with customers clearly enjoying the food and experience. The interior is decorated simply, with muted colors, is well lit, and clean. There are a lot of hard surfaces which makes the ambient noise level fairly high; however, it did not detract from the experience (but just be advised in case you feel this is bothersome). We were greeted warmly and though the place was packed, we were seated quickly. Despite the diner-like vibe, there is no counter, just tables and booths. Our server was prompt, very pleasant, and efficient. The coffee was hot and flavorful. The food: Large portions, well prepared, warm, savory, satisfying. The loaded Cheers omelette, with hash browns and pancakes, was more food than I could enjoy in one sitting so I have leftovers for tomorrow. Prices are in line with more reasonably priced independent eateries. A two-egg, hash browns, pancake combo is $14. This place will be an option in the future.

This was an overall amazing café. We came here back in May. There were so many great-looking…read moreoptions on the menu that it took us a while to finally decide on the Southwest Breakfast Bowl and the Butterscotch S'mores Pancakes. Both dishes were flavorful and delicious. I was absolutely in love with the pancakes! They were gigantic, beautifully presented, and incredibly rich and satisfying. We were both very happy with our food. Our coffees, however, were just okay and not particularly memorable. The only downside, and the reason I'm taking off 1 star, was my bad experience with their seating policy. I had planned to stay for a while on a weekend to finish my coffee and get some work done. However, because the café was busy and completely full, a waitress politely came to my table and asked me to leave while I was in the middle of working. I understand that restaurants need to accommodate waiting customers, especially during busy hours, but I was still disappointed by the experience. I rarely have been asked to leave a café or coffee shop while I was in the middle of working. Because of this, I would probably choose another café in the future when I'm looking for a place where I can comfortably work for a while. That said, the food was fantastic, and I'd recommend coming here for the pancakes alone.

York Road can be VERY loud, but nothing they (151) can do about that. What put me off is I received a reminder of the res via text and was told to limit my stay to 90 minutes. I have traveled the world and eaten in restaurants high and low all over that world -- from fried cricket carts in Shanghai to multiple Michelin stars in Paris -- and this is the first time in my 58 years I was told to sit down, eat, now beat it!! I also grew up in the restaurant industry with our family business growing up, and worked through college in the industry. This is UNHEARD OF!! Yes, some guests overstay their reasonable expectation of a table's availability, but true professionals handle that situation in real time and with SKILL and GRACE. Not with some poorly composed text that essentially tells the person that once you've eaten, I'm not interested in conveying hospitality. All of this AFTER I had to put down a deposit for a table!! Who do these people think they are, Quince?! They sell salads and fried chicken sandwiches!! This was in very bad taste, 151. It smacked of entitlement to my patronage but no willingness to extend TRUE hospitality in exchange. I advise you to be careful as there is more and more competition in downtown Elmhurst, and that won't let up any time soon....and you've just lost another Elmhurst family.

My husband and I went for an early dinner, didn't have reservations, it was just us two. We were told an approx 10 min wait, which was fine. As we waited, we noticed a few empty booths for two in the bar - we asked to be seated, and they said of course. Very pleasant front end staff. Problem began with our phantom server, waited a while til someone approached us. No water, no menus, no server. Finally after almost 20 min, the server appeared, he seemed very frazzled. Spoke quickly. We asked for a menu, water, silverware & napkins. At almost 30 minutes, we finally ordered our entrees. I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo, and my husband ordered Arrabbiata Sauce w/spaghetti which came with a small side salad or soup. I chose soup, and my husband had a side salad. And we asked for some bread for the table. We waited another 20 minutes for our salad and soup, and I was given a tsp for the soup, all things considered, it was good. We saw the server twice while we were there, appeared very pre-occupied. The kitchen staff served our pasta meals. My husband said his was good, my Fettuccine Alfredo was also good, but very Al dente. Meantime, still waiting for bread .... All in all, it was a good meal, sometimes servers can make or break it! This individual really needs more training, or a different position. He made our experience very frustrating! But we will definitely give Labriola another chance!
