Food reminded me very much of the previous Domo restaurant. Northern Japanese warm earthy comfort food. The curry potatoes were delicious and the pork and garlic ramen 🍜 was the best ramen I’ve ever had. We had a pot of the matcha tea which brought everything together. Great ambience and a fun place for a date. Enjoy!

Why go to Denver (who would)? Hands down, best Italian restaurant in the area, maybe even the state! We are from the northeast and find it difficult finding good Italian food in CO. Food is excellent, service staff is also excellent, professional, and ambience is superb. How about opening a pizza restaurant? Definitely needed as the pizza here is ahhh. Keep up the great work!

The food was delicious. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. The wine selection was exquisite. We enjoyed the sides of gnocchi and also brussel sprouts, and also loved the wedge salad. The only food complaint is the oysters Rockefeller. Two small oysters for $23 and there was too much breadcrumbs that overpowered the oyster. Our server and the manager both checked on us multiple times and we got a little background on our wine choice and other wines that family makes, so it was interesting. Great service, great experience.

Breakfast

Whittier

About the restaurant

Fox and The Hen is inspired by a love of all things breakfast aka #MorningStuff. Here, we believe all the best things happen in the morning: sunrises, coffee drinks, small breakfast burritos tucked in large breakfast burritos and walks of shame.

Born out of Carrie Baird and Michael Fox’s true love for classic American breakfast served with lighthearted twists and an equal passion of all things boozy-brunch-drinks, Fox & The Hen is your new LoHi all-day breakfast concept.

Our focus is bringing friends and family together, incredibly delicious (and fun!) food, creative beverages and having everyone who leaves the Fox & the Hen feel their day is better than when they came in.

We do not seat incomplete parties, sorry.
