• Breakfast • Whittier

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.

Great place for brunch. The espresso martinis were great. French toast was tasty. Limited menu which I appreciate - focus on a few things and do them well. And they covered all the bases with their choices. I was on a tight schedule to get to the airport and they hustled to keep me on schedule.

First time a Venice Ristorante in Greenwood Village to celebrate son's birthday. The food was delicious, the wine was paired with our meals, and the service was outstanding. Our waitress was Paula, and she sealed the deal in that we will be coming back. We found a new favorite Italian place.
