   We were a party of four celebrating a 40+ year friendship and Christmas. We had the charcuterie board to start with our cocktails. The cheeses were delicious, especially the Drunken Goat; and, who knew there were caper berries? Two of us shared the paella. The seafood was cooked well - no rubbery shrimp! - and the rice had just the right spicy bite. One enjoyed the pork chop which was tender and very flavorful. The fourth had the low country boil - sorry to sound boring - again, cooked very well and delicious. Desserts enjoyed were the flan, a decadent mocha torte and an espresso martini. We had the best experience. Our server, Bre R was very personable, knowledgeable about the dishes and just the right amount of attentive. The only drawback is that it is very noisy with all the surrounding excited conversations, to the point that it is impossible to hear and carry on a conversation with your across-table dining mate. That said, we highly recommend Brother Fox.

   This was our first Dining experience at Brother Fox. We will not be back…the service was extremely slow and we were actually the first couple dining this evening so it wasn’t busy yet. The food overall was ok but came out cold (after waiting on it for an hour). It was extremely noisy in the main dining area and tables are sat FAR too close together. Not impressed

   Not only was the staff exceptional but the food was outstanding! We were apart of 4 and started a the restaurant bar and then we were brought to the Sister Hen bar - all mixologists and cocktails were amazing! Then we were escorted to our table and ended up trying appetizers. portions are all made for sharing. The special carpaccio was fabulous and the octopus was so good we ordered another. Saw others getting the paella which looked great - and we are going to try that next time. We loved the experience so much we made reservations to go next week - cant wait!

   The food is excellent. The seating was a little tight. Ambience was nice and loved the champagne toast for hubby's birthday. Bathroom was very clean also!

   We had the Thanksgiving special menu and the food was exceptional. The offered a selection of traditional Holliday items including a delicious stuffing that was great. They were out of the prime rib but the turkey and ham were both perfect. The waitress poured water for us but spilled much of it on the table. I was happy to clean up with my napkin and requested another which never came after two requests. We ordered excellent cocktails although it took a long time to arrive to our table. The waitress came to take our food order and I said we never received our cocktails which she said she’d check and asked again what the order was. Then the dinner and cocktails came at the same time. Then there was getting proper utensils as they took away our standard knives and I had to request knives twice after the food arrived. Again the food was great but I honestly felt I’d have been happier if it were self service. I’m not sure I’d go back even with the awesome food as I paying a premium plus tip and the service wasn’t there at all. The service thing is a bummer as it puts me in a stressed mood when I’m supposed to be enjoying a $150 meal. I don’t want to be rude and demanding in a place that’s supposedly offering a quality dining experience as that too causes stress. Ultimately I pay the price for everything. Maybe a one off.

   Thanksgiving Menu. Good was OK but not great as I anticipated for Brother Fox. Parents enjoyed their turkey and ham. Prime rib was just OK. Expensive for portions and sides. Service was very good although we felt rushed. Mains appeared before we finished salads which is unacceptable in our view. Acoustics were loud as restaurant was very full.

    We are a big fan of the head chef Darian having first seen him win on the tv show Chopped. As always we were not disappointed with my Birthday meal! The grilled oysters were amazing and the portion size of the carne asada for 2 was enough for 4! Definitely one of our top favorite restaurants in Pensacola! Wait staff were also wonderful and VERY attentive.
