Foxface Natural

“Foxface Natural has been on my list for a while for its creative cuisine, and it totally lived up to the hype. The servers were friendly and I felt well taken care of throughout the meal. I did the tasting menu and loved the fresh, vibrant flavors in all courses. It was my first time trying goose barnacles, which are a little tricky to figure out at first, but once you do, they’re so good!! The space does get pretty loud. It didn’t bother me too much since I was dining solo, but it was a little hard to hear when they were introducing the dishes. Overall, a great dinner though and I’d definitely go back for the food.”

“This place is super unique, they have all types of different meats and the way that everything is cooked is very interesting. If you are adventurous for food, I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Their ingredients are also super fresh and specifically offered for the restaurant, would definitely recommend. The owner and staff are super friendly and nice, would come back again.”

“Fun dishes at the prix fixe here. I recommend an appetizer and two dishes per person. The ingredients are really high quality so you'll at least enjoy everything. My favorite is probably the matsuzaka mushroom soup and the duck. Oh and the kangaroo. Try to take advantage of the flavor variety, so contrast your choices in dishes. By that I mean, go high-veggies for at least one dish.”

“A memorable dining experience in NYC Foxface Natural was an exceptional culinary highlight during our honeymoon in New York City. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were captivated by its inviting atmosphere and the staff's warm hospitality. The food was nothing short of exquisite. Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. The servers were incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring that our dining experience was seamless. A word of advice: Save some of the bread for dipping in the delicious sauces throughout the meal. It's a must! We're still laughing about our record-breaking speed in devouring the bread. The entire Foxface Natural team deserves immense praise for their attentive and friendly service. We had the pleasure of interacting with many staff members, and each one contributed to making our experience truly memorable. We cannot wait to return to Foxface Natural and wish the restaurant continued success in achieving its goals.”

“I visited Foxface Natural for the first time to experience their New York New Wave wine evening. I usually lean towards more traditional/classic restaurants but has read so many good things about Foxface that it had been high on my list to try. I saw that they were hosting a special dinner offering 7 NY produce focused courses paired with 7 Finger Lake wines so that sounded like the perfect opportunity to check the restaurant out. The building from outside is pretty inconspicuous (I actually walked by and had to walk back) but once you enter the staff are really welcoming and it feels quite cozy, despite it having a more clean and modern esthetic. I was sat at the bar and I have to admit that this was one of my favourite bar set up's that I have experienced. As mentioned the menu was made up of 7 courses and, personally, some stood out for me more than others. Most of the dishes were well executed but some were definitely a little outside of my comfort zone (namely lamb tartar) however, the venison was very underdone. I had just assumed this was how venison should be served and didn’t enjoy it due to personal preference so didn’t mention anything at the time. I have since been told by several people with more experience with this protein that it is not how it should be served so I really wish I had said something at the time. The stand out dishes for me were the Red Shrimp Roll (delicious and so well seasoned), the sunchoke (which paired beautifully with the wine that was served with this, a real case of the dish enhancing the wine and vice versa) and the Girella. As well as the venison another disappointment for the evening was the panacotta, for me this was not as set as it should have been and was just generally a bit underwhelming. I also have to comment on the service. As a solo dinner they have really perfected making you feel looked after without being overbearing or rushed. I really enjoyed my interaction with all of the staff and they really seemed keen to get feedback on dishes. I don't know if I would return to Foxface Natural, it definitely made me realise I am more of a traditionalist when it comes to dining. I did enjoy how it pushed me out of my comfort zone and I tried dishes that I never normally would. I think if you like slightly more adventurous/exciting combinations then this would be your perfect spot. I did leave having enjoyed my evening and being very pleased that I had moved out of my comfort zone slightly.”
