He allowed me to watch him do his magic during his set. It's a skill I've longed to learn as part of many on the good ol bucket list. What comes to mind when thinking about this venue is comparable to a person inherently born with a lot of charisma. Prices are fair, especially for the area. But the drinks are where it really stands out. They're clearly made with fresh, high quality ingredients. I will warn you it's the kind of place you come for one and end up staying longer than you planned :)

We started with the guacamole, and it was absolute perfection. My partner ordered a crispy short rib taco, chicken enchilada, and chile relleno, and I swear his eyes rolled back with every bite. I went with the lobster and shrimp stuffed poblano, and I savored every single bite. SO GOOD!!! We also enjoyed two specialty cocktails, and our entire bill came out to around $100! The portions were incredibly generous, so we both left with plenty of leftovers, which made it an even better value. But what truly makes or breaks a restaurant experience for me is the service, and this is where they really went above and beyond. Our server, Peter, was an absolute GEM! He was genuinely kind, attentive, personable, and full of fantastic recommendations. He suggested adding mezcal to my pineapple serrano cilantro margarita with a Tajín rim, and WOW. What a phenomenal combination! You can have incredible food and drinks, but exceptional hospitality is what makes an experience memorable and keeps people coming back. Peter absolutely delivered on that, and I hope the restaurant knows what a wonderful asset he is to their team. I truly cannot recommend this place enough! Amazing food, delicious cocktails, generous portions, great value, and hospitality that makes you feel genuinely taken care of. If you're planning to visit, call ahead for a reservation and ask to be seated in Peter's section. You won't regret it!

Fox and Farrow turned out to be a perfect choice for a quiet moms' dinner out/catch up chat session…read moreon a Sunday evening. There were three of us, and although we made a reservation ahead of time, we probably did not need one, since the place was not full. We hung out in the booths in front of the windows looking out to the ocean sunset. Really appreciated the comfy padded leather seats for our long chats. We did not feel rushed at all, which is really appreciated. The vibe is very speakasy-ish with leather seats and I thought it would be a great place to throw a party-maybe even a corporate happy hour in the middle couch section, super comfy looking. Felt very classic loungey but also this xennial appreciated Kaskade playing in the background. I am sure sitting at the bar for a chat would be great also. Food was fantastic. We shared three things: Baked Brie, Tomato Salad and Seafood Pasta and enjoyed all three of them very much. Next time I think I want to try the Mud Pie.

The food was quite lackluster across the board, unfortunately, but I would come back for dessert and a drink. Having a reservation seems like a must, as there isn't much seating. Seems like a good place for mid-sized groups of 4-6 people. Price point was a bit on the higher end, especially considering the food we had. I don't think a single dish inspired me to "write home about." Lots of fusion stuff that just didn't hit how it should. Fox and Farrow is connected to another bar with a very different ambiance - more like a sports bar, from what I remember - and they were rowdy while watching a sports game. We ended up hanging over there after our meal.

The not-as-good: Service was just okay. Maybe it was just from working an exceptionally hot day, but it didn't feel like staff really cared to be there. We are South Bay locals, but I'd imagine this place is a huge draw for tourists and the wait staff just seemed annoyed by our presence and waved us off like we were tourists. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and it was our first date night out since having a baby 7 months ago, and no mention of that our entire visit (or no one cared to ask). In terms of food, I'd say the charred watermelon salad was the star of evening. Katsu calamari fries were fine, nothing to write home about, but a nice accompaniment to the salad. We also got the Huli Huli chicken entree to share -- chicken was nice and tender, but the "lettuce cups" were just two large leaves of lettuce and it wasn't very clear how to assemble them (if that was the intention), so we left them alone. But the charred pineapple was my absolute nemesis that evening. The sun had set, and the fire pits at the tables to our left had just been fired up, but it was still pretty hard to see our food. My husband pointed out that the spiky pineapple skin was still on the pineapple, so I avoided that and started cutting around to a smaller piece of the inside of the pineapple with a knife so it could accompany the chicken -- the bottom ended up being SO charred that it was lodged in my throat for about 2-3 minutes, like something was grating against my esophagus Kinda ruined the rest of the meal for me. Suggestions: Candles for the tables when the sun sets so patrons can see what they're eating? Or have wait staff explain the chef's preferred method of consumption? Overall, we'd come back for a happy hour by the beach with a small group of friends with some small plates and people watch during sunset to some live music, but as a special occasion spot, I'd find another spot.

You can tell the chefs are dedicated to the craft. They're a 2025 bib gourmand restaurant and are hoping to aim for their first star, so their efforts into the decor, ambiance, and food shows (good luck!). The waitstaff/chefs were also very attentive. Mussels Tart - really delicious. Super unique and beautifully plated. No taste of fishiness or the ocean. Just overall a 5/5 dish that you must try. Beef tongue - I normally enjoy beef tongue thinly sliced at a Korean BBQ restaurant or coarsely chopped up in a street taco. They do it differently here. The beef tongue is one big cube. It's very flavorful and tender. Not as amazing as the mussels tart but still worth a try. Chili crab - this put them on the map. SUPER DELICIOUS. It's not what you'd expect from a creation called 'chili crab'. There's no shell to be seen and the crab meat is actually buried underneath. Scoop from the inside out. Tons of flavor and I wished the portion size was doubled. Lamb pappardelle - if you like lamb then you'll love this. Lots of different spices and flavors. It has a very deep flavor profile that makes you appreciate all the work and thought that went into designing this dish. I'd get this again also! Strawberry tiramisu - they brought this out for the birthday celebration. They prepared it in a gigantic bowl. Scooped out a generous portion and plated it right in front of us. I have a soft spot for tiramisu so I'd recommend this too. Best of luck on the Michelin star! I'd come back. 5/5
