    Yet another restaurant that surprised me in St. Louis. They have good food here. Like, foodie food. So my next dinner lead me to Little Fox. A small plates restaurant that felt a little Italian. We make reservations and show up to this place that looks like a neighborhood pub. Quaint, in the corner, inviting light shining through medium sized windows. Inside, the vibes were a hybrid of someone's very nice dining room and an old western saloon. I know that's almost nonsensical, but the vibes were good. We felt right at home. Service was spot on. The server was very nice and new the menu pretty well. The food came out tapas style, so when something was ready, it just came right out. I like that. I like the periods where there are so many plates on the table at one time that it's overwhelming. What's what eating is all about. As for the food itself, it was good. I'll give a little blurb on each thing, as not to wear out your eyeballs. Crispy Artichokes (sauce au vert​). These were fun and nice and crispy. Don't see artichokes like these very often. The sauce was a little weak, though. Didn't exactly go well with these fried little morsels. 'Nduja Croquetas (bomba rice, spicy prosciutto, fontina, grenada pepper aioli). Wow, now these little flavor bombs cannot be missed. Spicy sausage arancinis with a nice peppery aioli to dip. An intensely flavorful little dish that I loved. Can't find it on the menu, maybe it was seasonal, maybe it was a special, but we had a bone marrow French onion soup that was nice. The soup was good good. Very well developed flavors. The marrow bone was a little sloppy, though, and we got a transverse cut of bone, leaving very little marrow to access. Next were the Mussels (green garlic broth, Spanish vermouth, pickled peppers, spring onions, grilled LF bread). Very well cooked mussels, sitting in a lovely broth to dip your bread in. Ask for extra bread. But do not ask for extra of that sauce. That was really bad sauce. Sauce work seems to be this place's only weak point. Probably the biggest dish of the night, the Bolognese Bianco (Newman Farms pork & mushroom bolognese, bucatini, gremolata, parmigiano reggiano). This was a really nice pasta dish! Love those big, thicc bucatini noodles. Flavorful bolognese, great texture from the gremolata, and just cheesy enough to make this probably the most complete dish of the night. Then finally the Sea Scallops (ramp soubise, morel mushrooms, house-cured pancetta). Scallops were scored and cooked to look like fine art. Light scallops paired with nice umami from the morels and the pancetta, all tied together by that nice soubise. You don't see that very often either. We ended the meal with a Sticky Toffee Pudding (apple & date cake, apple brandy toffee, crème chantilly, marcona almond tuile). Chef's kiss. Such a delicate sponge with a nice date flavor. Then boom, the sweet boozy toffee, the creamy chantilly, the texture from the tuile. Every element helped make this a great dessert to end a great meal. Overall, another very pleasant surprise. This was a very good dinner, and I'll definitely come back if I'm ever in St. Louis again.

    Get a reservation or get there early. I had a BEAUTIFUL Sunday morning here. I checked the reservation online and they had a 10 AM opening and a line before they were even open. We sat outside , our server was wonderful and they were so helpful and accommodating. First I ordered the Dive Bar Coffee which just wasn't for me so i got the Dottie (with the good crunchy ice) instead and it was wonderful! (They even took the first one off and i didn't even ask, thoughtful. ) Food was delicious. My Hashbrown was delicious and crispy and seasoned and mm. And the salmon was yummy. My date got the baked eggs and loved it as well (they make their bread so will be back just to have bread). We also got the ButterScotch Budino for dessert. As someone who isn't a fan of pudding , this was goooooood. Salty, sweet and crumbling that cookie into it (per their suggestion), worth it. Their menu is seasonal so check before you go, but definitely go.

    Pros: Ambiance was so quaint. It felt like it was a neighborhood corner bodega, but with a refined elegance. Very cozy. Service was A+. Very nice people who knew the menu very well, and the food came out at lightning speed. The food was so good, too. An eclectic, semi-Italian tapas menu with some real bangers on it. Lots of great sauce work, too. Cons: No real cons. Whatever spread that was on the bread with the mussels was absolutely terrible, so avoid that if you can. But everything else was great! Tips: Artichokes were great, scallops were great, sticky toffee pudding was great. It was all great!

    I thought I would have trouble getting in on a Friday night as they didn't have any open reservations on Resy. But I was able to walk in and sit at the bar at 630 on a Friday night (and there were other open seats too). They seem to change their cocktail menu seasonally which is very cool. I got one that was a spin on an Arnold Palmer, was excellent. Mushrooms 10/5 ate the whole thing as a party of 1 Cavatelli 3/5 I wish the pasta was just slightly more al dente. But dipped in the mushroom sauce... Blueberry cake 4/5

    Little Fox has one of the best cocktail programs in St. Louis. It's a great spot to grab drinks and share small plates. I've been to Little Fox several times and have always had top-tier service. Their menus are innovative and sophisticated, with a variety of dishes. The interior feels intimate and inviting. My top cocktail is the Fine & Dandy, a great option if you enjoy pear and tequila. My favorite dish is the French onion soup with bone broth--it is rich yet well-balanced. While the food and drinks are on the pricier side relative to portion size, the food is solid and the cocktails are excellent.

    One of the best restaurants in the city. The immediate neighborhood of the restaurant appears charming but you will travel through some areas nearby that seem like they might be a little sketchy. The restaurant itself is a a trendy casual venue with attentive professional service. The food is wonderful and unique and deserves the positive press that it has received. I've never eaten anything here that wasn't wonderful. Don't miss the seasonal cocktails as well.

    Little Fox is a VIBE. If you're looking for an elevated, memorable experience, I highly recommend checking them out. I sat on the patio on a nice summer evening and it was lovely. I started with the stracciatella which was delicious. The pickled corn and delicious bread really brought it all together. It was very fresh and tasty. The garganelli was insane. The pasta is freshly made and there's just enough meat in it to make it hearty but not overfilling. The presentation and taste was so good. I ended with the olive oil chocolate tart was really lovely as well. I loved the sea salt on top which balanced out the sweetness. Little Fox is a must go!

    LOVED. We picked this spot for a birthday celebration and for a small plates place the portions were so healthy!! I personally love appetizers and dessert the best out of every meal and this style made me have the best of all worlds! Our main server was very kind and attentive and I loved that I could see there was a team mentality. So many different people helped out with bringing us our stuff throughout the night. The location was not super busy when we got there and despite it being full when we left it wasn't too loud! We loved it here and will absolutely be back for celebrations in the future!

    I have been meaning to stop in forever! And I finally made it. We didn't have a reservation, but we ran in on a Saturday right when they opened at 5 PM and were lucky enough to be able to get a seat. But I would definitely recommend making a reservation. Because within about 30 minutes, the place was full, and for good reason! The cocktails are amazing, and the food is even better. Not to mention the staff is awesome and knows everything about every dish. They were great with the recommendations. The "decisions, decisions" was the cocktail I got. A vodka-based cocktail that's spicy? Sign me up! Amazing. And the crispy squash? I was on the fence... But don't be. OMG it is so good. I could eat that every day. Absolutely delicious. Order it! We also ordered the Stracciatella which was yummy. It came with some toasted bread that just had the best smoky flavor. As my meal, I got the cavatelli and my friend got the gem salad. Yum Yum Yum. We really wanted to get the potato churros and short ribs but we knew we would not be able to eat everything! However, the table next to us got them and said they were amazing! We made friends and were talking about all of the delicious things we ordered. Cannot wait to go back. Such a warm and cozy place.

    The space? Adorable! Food and drinks? Delicious! Service? The best you could ask for! This sums up my first visit to Little Fox. We were able to snag a reservation with no problem on the day of, and as tempting as it was to sit in the cute outdoor patio, 85°F weather made us decide to sit indoors. The wooden accents with a bit of beautiful blue color and plants gave the space a cute and cozy vibe. The server introduced himself soon after we sat down and was very understanding of our need to eat quickly for post-dinner plans. He even helped us choose our food as we wanted to try sharing 3-4 small plates between two people. We ended up ordering two mocktails and the 'Nduja Croquetta, Summer Squash Salad, Short Rib, and Royal Trumpet Mushrooms. The Croquettas were a deliciously carb-y start to our meal with cheesy rice with crispy breading on the outside. Squash Salad was very refreshing and light and the Short Ribs were very hearty and complex, all the while being very tender. Royal Trumpet Mushrooms were good, but my friend noticed that unlike the last time she had visited, when the dish only had trumpet mushrooms, this time it was half trumpet and half button mushrooms. As for the mocktails, I was really hoping for the cute fox ear decor on top, but alas, I guess it was only for the "real" cocktails. We ordered a Sober Poet and Lower Canopy and both were delicious. If I had to choose, I felt that Lower Canopy was a better-balanced drink though. Although I was originally concerned about both the timing of the meal (we only had 45 minutes from walking in) and the portion sizes, we left right on time and were satisfied with the amount of food shared. I can't wait to come back to try out the plates (entrees) when I have more time.

    This was my first time at little fox, and I was not disappointed! It is super cute inside, with lots of tables, and bar seating. We had a reservation at 6, and we were seated immediately upon arrival. We tried so many dishes, and they were all great! I highly recommend going to shared plates route, because everything is so good. The cocktails were great as well! I will be back, and I cannot wait to try more of their menu!

    Lovely place for a date night. The ambience is good and the menu is large and interesting. For 2 people, this is what we shared: -Her Name was Lola Cocktail: 7/10 - Nice sweetness but had a good bitterness. You do get a dry aftertaste from the liquor. -Potato churros: 9/10 - SO light, so crispy, so rich. The sauce that you dip them in is a lovely thick aioli. These were addictive. -Braised Ribs: 8.5/10 - I liked how flavorful the braise and sauce was, but I do wish the ribs had been a bit thicker and perhaps a bit moister. They were by no means chewy but I did wish it was more "melt-in-your-mouth." -Flatiron Steak: 6/10 - Got this rare. Not the best steak I've had, and came kind of lukewarm. The crispy potatoes are exquisite, though. -Garganelli: 9/10 - The butter sauce was delectable, and the pork was just so rich and tender. I've never had this shape of noodles before and I think it lent itself really well to the dish.

'ssippi is a new(ish) wine bar set towards the western end of the collection of bars, restaurants, and shops that are the heart of the strip. The inside has a large wrap about bar and some limited seating. There is a very good selection of wine and mixed drinks and an okay selection of beer. The prices are reasonable. There is a very limited food menu which largely consists of snacks rather than proper entrees. So this is a great pre/post drink spot rather than somewhere you would spend an evening. The bartenders were fine. Nothing stood out either in a good or bad way. The mixed drink my wife had was very good. The orange wine I had was good, a bit on the dry side but overall no complaints from either of us. Without a highlight of the spot is the large patio. It is mostly taken up by large bench style seating. So you have to be okay sitting next to strangers. I actually enjoy these types of settings and I ended up chatting up the group to our right. There are a couple tables but they are few and far between. There are some overhead canopies and lights, and there was a nice vibe and energy. I was there and it was crowded. I really enjoyed it. Just two additional things to note. The bathroom line was very long. It must only be one stall. The entire time I was there it was a dozen people deep. The only other downside is that my wife and I felt old. The vibe on a late(ish) Saturday night was mainly 20 year olds. If I was in grad school or a recent graduate I would absolutely adore this place. Even if your 30s this probably is a good vibe. Once you hit 40 though you may feel a bit out of place on busy nights (or it will make you feel young again!)

Did I mention we were at brunch! I highly recommend the peach bite and the Side Car. Every cocktail is thoughtfully made and well executed. They offer a small brunch menu along with the regular menu. I usually always get chilaquiles when they are available. But today the ruby trout and grits sounded perfect. This dish was amazing!! The trout was thin with crispy skin. The grits were creamy and delicious. The dish is topped with a house made radish pico and salsa macha. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich that was paired with the crispiest breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The burger and fries are also a good option. The seasoning on the fries is next level. The brunch menu has a sticky toffee roll that is a perfect size for sharing or not. Salty sweet fork tender cinnamon roll. Lastly, the deviled eggs were a group favorite. I am a big fan of Passenger Chili Crisp. If you are unfamiliar please look them up! It's hands down the best chili crisp I've ever had. It's locally made here in STL and can also be found in several dishes at restaurants around town. The eggs were creamy with the right amount of tang from the mustard. The chili crisp made these deviled eggs easily top five best I've ever had! Planning to stop in again soon for happy hour with more friends

I got a gimlet which was beautiful. Slightly tart, with just enough sweetness to balance it all out. There are not many things on this planet better than getting a damn good cocktail at a dive bar.
