Foxtail on The Lake is a Mediterranean restaurant in the Des Plaines neighborhood of Des Plaines.
“The atmosphere is amazing. We sat on the outdoor patio with a lake view on a bright and sunny day. The place is buzzing, with tons of excitement and filled tables. Despite this busy day, service is fast and efficient. The food is amazing. We especially love the crab cake, deconstructed, lobster, chicken Shawarma rolls. The interior is also beautiful, with a beautiful tall stained glass centerpiece in this renovated church.”
“Foxtail is a fantastic place and such a unique dining experience. The building itself is absolutely stunning — it’s an old church that has been beautifully preserved and transformed into a restaurant. They kept the original structure, and the atmosphere is truly amazing. The service was top-notch from start to finish. The food was super delicious. I highly recommend the hummus plate — so flavorful and beautifully presented. The salad was a huge portion, perfect for sharing. My burger was cooked exactly as I ordered — perfectly done. The cocktails were also excellent. We had a five-hour layover between flights and decided to come here — and I’m so glad we did. If you have time, I definitely recommend this place. It’s only about a 15-minute drive from the airport. I can’t recommend it enough and would love to come back one day.”
“Excellent restaurant. Our server Anthony was very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to our table. We asked him questions and he knew what every ingredient was and how it tasted. We never had to ask for more water or look around for an employee. Food was great. We had the breakfast flatbread and the filet poke bowl (sauce on side). The other tables food looked exceptional as well! 5/5 all day.”
“Beautiful and exiting place to eat. The ambience is great and the views are also something unique. The food is delicious and presentation is also exquisite. We came with a reservation for a Wednesday noon and it was full so we highlt recommend making a reservation. We will definitely come back during sunset to see the view inside the restaurant through the glass murals.”
“Came here for a pre-Mother's Day Brunch with a women's group (10ppl). Reservations were easy to make. Plenty of parking. Staff was friendly. Food was good (I didn't care for the french fries or scrambled eggs), others liked their food except for the crab cake. The Good Shepherd and Hell Froze Over Cocktails were good. Didn't care for the Strawberry Resurrection (tasted like a mocktail). The restroom was clean and stocked with needed supplies such as tissue paper and hand soap. The decor throughout the restaurant was nice.”
