    The staff was very friendly and attentive. We had the NY steaks with green pepper sauce and French onion soup. Both were outstanding. It was not inexpensive but the value for money paid was well worth it.

    Perfect service from the valet, to the host and then our server, Janice. We enjoyed the honey glazed salmon as well as the chicken piccata. Such a nice menu, welcoming dining room and attentive service, including that of the two owners who regularly check on their guests. Go to Foxy's for the VIP experience. Good people. A real gem in Rancho Mirage.

    The waiter was very enthusiastic and the food was amazing per usual. We were disappointed that our table was not ready when we arrived when I think I made the reservation weeks ago. I did have a dog, but they didn’t seem to mind. There were plenty of tables outside and we ended up in the corner. A couple after us got a better table right in front of ours.
