    We thoroughly enjoyed our Valentine’s dinner at Brother Fox last night. I’ve been wanting to come here since they opened and we finally had the opportunity and I’m so happy that we did. The food is absolutely amazing and was above and beyond any expectation I had. We are going to make more of an effort to come to Brother Fox and Sister Hen in the future. Thank you Chef and team for sharing your amazing talent with Pensacola!

    The escargot was our absolute favorite! The frenched wings are just perfect , but then the foie gras.. it’s an intense dining experience but in the best of ways so much flavor and everything is plated beautifully. To top it all off, the drinks were incredible – especially the Golden Boy definitely a must try. Highly recommend Iron for an elevated and delicious experience.

    One of our favorite restaurants in Pensacola to dine. This evening did not disappoint. We were seated at a bar high top as requested. Server was quick to take our drink order. Excellent Woodford old fashion and very entertaining to watch the amazing mixologists prepare drinks. Korean wing appetizer is delicious but a bit messy. Hangar steak was yummy as were the scallops either risotto. Short rib was also a winning entree. Portions are generous and sides are always very tasty!!

    This is my second visit. I enjoy the location and food. Our server was great - he helped us with substitutions. In addition he gave us the history of the building and area. I was a bit disappointed that the fried green tomatoes had too much breading - I'm used to panko and delicate. The onion rings were super. We were sorry to be too full for dessert.
