I stopped in for brunch after my visit to the Tower Grove Farmers Market, I wasn't sure I was dressed for it but they said no worries and asked my seating preference. I opted for the bar. Later I did see other guests arrive that were not fancy either, so I felt better. You could be fancy and fit right in, though. Angela was my server at the bar and she was top notch! Giving me time to review the menu but also jumping in to answer questions. I wanted to try a drink and the cocktails look amazing so I will have to come back to try a couple, they had a list of Spirit Free and I went with the Stappi Spritz. It was bright and refreshing with a bit of bitter and I really enjoyed it. So many food options looked good, I took a bit to decide and then went with the Starter of Oeufs et Mayo and would go from there. When it arrived I felt it looked like a dish on a cooking competition show - it was so pretty. Angela indicated a great way to eat it was to get a scoop of everything and put it on the LF grilled bread and that is what I did! So very good! All the flavors went well together, the burst of salty goodness from the trout roe and the grilled bread, fantastic. Even with so many other Plates to try, I will have a hard time not ordering those jammy eggs again. Extras included Crispy Fingerling Potatoes fried with rosemary and served with romesco aioli, they were good and a large enough serving to share. The rosemary is definitely part of the dish but I ordered with the knowledge that I now like rosemary. I also wanted to try the Sage and Fennel Sausage, they were in patty form and the order came with 2 and they were large. It was decent, I wanted more sage and fennel for my taste. Angela set me up with go boxes so I could enjoy my meal again as leftovers! Great food, great service. Can't wait to go back again!
Every dish we've had at Little Fox has been a treat! The service is always attentive, and welcoming. It's a great spot for a small group gathering or a date night. Highly recommend making reservation in advance! This visit, we ordered some of our favorites: the trumpet Mushrooms, mussels, and deep-fried artichokes. Everything was delicious, although the artichokes were a touch too salty this time. It was also our first time trying the wild blueberry crumble cake, and we absolutely loved it! It had a light, delicate texture and wasn't overly sweet--the perfect way to end the meal. We can't wait to come back and try more of their dishes!
We finally came back and got to sit on the patio! The food, the service, the location, the ambiance are all amazing. Perfection! We ordered lots of small plates which was ideal as the vegetarian entree options are limited. We are crazy excited about the new place opening across the street!
We have been to Little Fox twice and it's an amazing experience every time so far! Lovely space for a date night! The proteins are phenomenally seasoned and cooked to perfection and paired with the right sides to really enhance the flavor of, in our case, duck and steak. I am a potato enthusiast and their fingerling potatoes are seasoned and cooked perfectly. The steak has a wonderful shaved salt on top and incredible crust. Amazing steak. No notes. The cocktails are perfect. Several unique cocktails well-balanced. The service is exceptional and they are very knowledgeable about gluten that made me feel very safe! The flourless cake with candied lemon peel is incredible but you need to eat it in three seatings because it's amazingly rich. 5/5 stars, no notes.
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!
We chose Little Fox for our anniversary dinner this year and it was a great choice! Service was great and the interior was lovely. We ordered five small plates and all were very nicely executed. -scallops: While these were good, they were my least favorite of the bunch. They were tender and the sauce was nice, but they were a tad small only came with three. For the price, I thought other dishes were more hearty. -mussels: They were cooked perfectly and had a savory broth that was great to dip the grilled bread in. -Royal trumpet mushrooms: These were recommended by our server and they were great. The combo of the rich soubise with the vinaigrette gave them a good flavor punch. -short ribs: We both loved the sweet and spicy sauce on the short ribs. The short ribs were thinly sliced and tender. Very tasty. -Cavatelli: This was the standout dish of the night for us. The handmade pasta and summer vegetables were so fresh and had such great flavor. Basically summer in a bowl and a generous portion size. We are both big eaters and 5 small plates felt like a good amount with no leftovers to take home. I will say the tables inside are very close together. So much so that I felt like I was in our neighbor's conversation and it was difficult to hear our own conversation. We did have a lovely evening at Little Fox and we would return for a date night or special occasion.
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 been on my list for months and I'm so glad I finally got to give it a shot! To start, the exterior is very clean, minimal, and eye-catching with the black & red accents against the brick with a light wooden door inviting you inside. Upon entering, the bar & tables match the door with a light wooden grain, accented by the bare brick wall along with greens, reds, and black fixtures. Despite the upscale, minimalistic vibe, it's still cozy & inviting, especially with the help of the staff. The staff here are definitely a key piece in why this place is amazing. Our server was very helpful in explaining the menu and drinks, and was super attentive to us throughout our dining experience. Because everything on the menus sounded so good, we got stuck a few times and our server gave some great input to help us decide on what to get. The staff create such a friendly & warm vibe that invites you in and helps you feel comfortable. Moving onto the food & drinks, we started by browsing the cocktail and wine menus. Everything sounded so good so we had a tough time deciding what we wanted, but we settled on the Corner Office & the Paradiso, both of which were delicious! The root beer infusion in the Corner Office was a very nice touch and added a unique flavor I don't get to taste with bourbon very often. The menu leans heavily towards small plates and shareable large plates, similar to a tapas-style restaurant. We were pretty torn on what to get, and as mentioned earlier, our server gave us some great input on what we may like given our palates. With her help, we started with the Crispy Artichokes, Crispy Green Tomatoes, and Carne Cruda. We were pretty excited about the Crispy Artichokes, but were somewhat disappointed as they were pretty bland, though the sauce helped a bit. The Crispy Green Tomatoes were probably our favorite as the flavor, texture, and basil yogurt sauce all meshed together incredibly well! In addition, the crispy green tomatoes were garnished with yellow & red pepper slices which added an eye-catching pop of color to the dish. Lastly, the Carne Cruda was a new one for us as we haven't had beef tartare before, so while we were hesitant going into it, we were pleasantly surprised by the rich flavor of the beef complimented by the mustard seed. Our only gripe was that the chips they serve with the beef tartare were incredibly salty, and while I understand that the salty crunch is crucial for the dish, the salt overwhelmed the flavor of everything else and made it hard to enjoy which was unfortunate. For the larger plate, we ultimately decided to split the Pork Chop. Normally, I'm not a big fan of pork chops, but the 'nduja marinade was flavorful without being overpowering and complimented both the pork as well as the corn polenta perfectly. We were happily surprised with how good the dish was, with the polenta really being the star for us. To finish things off, I ordered a dessert cocktail that I can't quite recall the name of. It was a mix of whiskey with a coconut cream and a few other add-ins, I believe. Regardless, it was one of my favorites and was a nice way to end our experience at Little Fox. Overall, we were surprised in some areas (the vibe & cocktails especially) and a little underwhelmed in others (namely the artichokes & the saltiness of the chips with the tartare). Maybe I hyped it up in my mind too much, but the food wasn't quite as show-stopping as I was hoping. At the end of the day, though, I really enjoyed the experience and will likely return in the future.
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.
Great service Steak, pork tasted good just wasn't blown away. Kinda expensive but great ambiance.
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.
Yes! This place! Stop scrolling for a place to eat and make a reservation! We made a reservation the morning of and I'm glad we did. We arrived 20 minutes early. The bar was waiting room only and there were no empty tables. The hostess worked her magic and she was able to get us seated before our reservation time. Our waiter did a great job estimating how much food we'd need without under or over ordering. We shared everything. It was amazing. Even the gluten free bread and pasta was delish. And if you have to eat gf, you know how hard it is to get anything traditionally made as gluten free. Yum! Yum! Yum! Excellent. read more
I had a delightful little brunch. The space is warm and inviting. I had a cozy two top table and a book. A girl couldn't ask for more. The patio is perfect when the weather permitting. Owen was my server during my visit. He took excellent care of me, made good recommendations, and worked to accommodate special requests. The coffee is local from Coma Coffee. The cocktail menu has a robust list of offerings. The brunch menu is a nice balance of savory and sweet. If you've read any of my reviews, I usually always prefer savory over sweet for breakfast. This visit was no exception to that. I went with the loaded hash brown. This was a unique interpretation of a latke. The hash brown practically covered my entire plate, a nice portion of cured salmon, and a lovely basil yogurt and chili crunch for contrast. I made a fantastic choice. Not only was this a nice portion of food, it tasted amazing as well. I did add a side of the chicken sausage. It actually ended up being too much. This was the perfect way to spend a slow Saturday morning. I plan to stop in soon to visit them for dinner. read more

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! read more
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. read more

Oh my. We had a horrible experience at Little Fox tonight. First, our initial drinks took 35 minutes and 2 of them were made incorrectly. Second, our appetizers came out after our salads. It took 30 minutes for the appetizers. Thirdly, we had two ladies celebrating their birthdays and Little Fox did NOTHING for them. Finally, we asked for Take Home boxes and they never brought them. No one ever apologized for the atrocious service. I don't know what has happened there, but I can no longer recommend the place. read more
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. read more

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! read more
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. read more
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! read more
Took an out of town friend here for brunch. Just the cutest most hipsterific space. We sat on the patio in perfect weather. They serve coma coffee . I got the fried green tomato Benedict that balled so hard the south wanted to find us. Street parking was plentiful. Staff threaded that needle between attentive and hovering read more
We've already been here a bunch so I'm just adding a couple more photos. We tried the short rib which was tasty but could have been a little more filling in my opinion. I liked this other dip appetizer (I can't remember the name but it started with a S) I love sitting on their patio! So cozy! read more

We walk here from our home, but street parking! Tucked away in fox park neighborhood, offers a friendly local atmosphere! Service is always top notch, and food is always amazing. This visit we tried a lot of items we haven't tried yet as we'll be having our rehearsal dinner here! Always highly recommend read more

Little fox is located at the heart of fox park st. louis. It's a cozy little vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. While the menu is relatively approachable and the drinks try to pair well with the food. The experience was a bit underwhelming. Curiously enough, the churros were under fried while the artichoke hearts carried more fry than flavor. I think more than anything was how exhausting long the service took. We spent more time waiting for anything to hit the table than actually eating. While some level of detail was taken in the crafting the menu, little attention is given to tableside service. read more
Little Fox is a must visit! Have done dinner and brunch here and recommend a stop in for both. Light and bright ambiance but have to admit that the seating isn't the comfiest. The booth seating is very upright but isn't enough to detract from the yummy experience. Love the shareable small plates, things change seasonally so if you see something that looks good try it! Service has been great every time, timely without hovering. Potato churros are a must order for us every time we are in for dinner...perfectly crispy with a rich flavor. The cavatelli pasta this visit is also a strong recommendation. Both times we have had pasta here, it has been stellar! read more

My partner surprised me with a birthday dinner at Little Fox and I would 100%. The staff is incredible-- warm, welcoming and extremely helpful! We ordered two cocktails the Wild Thing and Weekend Away both were great. We settled on small plates to share and ordered the following: Snacks: Potato Churros, Ndujah Croquettes The potato churros were perfectly crispy and airy. The Croquettes were decadent and flavorful. Small Plates: Gem Salad (fresh, herby and delicious!), carne cruda (light, mustardy) mussels (broth was delicious and such a big fan of the crusty buttered bread) and cavatelli (such a great pasta dish that I kept coming back to). Dessert: Chocolate Olive Oil Tart (to die for and the perfect end to our meal). We loved the space and being able to see the kitchen work. Incredible experience read more
I had been wanting to go to Little Fox for a long time with it having so many accolades. Overall the food was good, but felt overpriced. Would return again for some items you can't get anywhere else in St Louis Tried: so much stuff - shared a bunch of plates which I recommend doing Loved: beef tartare, potato churros Liked: the service was okay but could be more helpful. The mocktails were good but overpriced read more
This was my first time at Little Fox and wow! Truly everything we ordered was phenomenal, legitimately the best brunch I've had in St. Louis to date, especially as a vegetarian. I started with the iced matcha late which was very smooth, light and creamy. We got the fluffy, flavorful ricotta pancakes to start and our server lit a couple candles as we were celebrating two birthdays. For my plate, I got the squash benedict and it was the perfect fall benedict! The acorn squash had a great crunch, the sage hollandaise was so flavorful, and the light arugula salad was a great balance. I also shared a side of the crispy fingerling potatoes and it had the perfect season and crunch. Can't wait to come back and try for dinner! read more
Probably my favorite restaurant in my st Louis for a couples night dinner (though I've heard amazing things about their brunch). You can't go wrong with any of their shirt plates - the thin cut short ribs are a must have for me. Their rotating cocktail selection is perfection. The service is sublime. It is always a memorable experience dining at the little fox. read more
We were led here by the phenomenal reviews, and they did not disappoint. Dishes ranged from very good to outstanding, ranking them in order of favorites. Cavatelli: probably my favorite dish, rich without being too heavy handed on the cream, with a nutty topping that balanced it out well. Trumpet mushrooms: great texture, not oily, perfect preparation. Short ribs: good flavor, smallish portion, nice flavor to sauce. Good texture. Snack cannellini beans--great crunch and the perfect starter. Straciatella: pretty good but nothing exceptional, probably my least favorite dish Wine: tropical nosed sparkler from Italy. Really enjoyed this and at a good price point of ~$50/btl. read more

Came here to try brunch (love their dinner) and enjoyed my waffle & lox. Great corn based waffle that went well with the lox, but wish there had been more lox on top. Flavor was great and my friends loved their Brunch sandwiches. Service was wonderful as always! read more

Amazing food, cool vibe, and best in class service. Cocktails were diverse and elevated combinations. We had the fried green tomatoes and they were amazing (unique, great textures, very good flavor mix). Everything else was amazing. read more
Amazing meal from start to finish! I loved the concept of mixing entrees, small plates, and snacks. The menu offers a wide variety of options to suit every taste. Each dish was beautifully crafted, full of flavor, and had different texture combinations. The service was top-notch - warm, attentive, and classic (they even fold your napkin when you leave the table). The aesthetic is simple yet elegant. A charming little restaurant tucked away in the heart of Fox Park serving seriously good food. read more
