   Phenomenal spot! Tried 7 menu items. One better than the other. Staff is on point, super vibey, cozy and warm. 90s sitcom basement feel and it’s perfect.

   Waited 15mins after our reservation to be sat down. Food and drinks were great the service as well. But the bathroom was disgusting toilet paper all over the floor, no hand towels.

   Great cocktail lounge the drinks were great, but the food lacked something. It was good food, but when I go to the North End I’m looking to have amazing Italian dishes with great flavor and it just was not there.

   We sat at the bar, Ali was our Bartender. She was very attentive and great to talk to. The food was delicious! We did not wait long at all for it to arrive, and it was very, very good. Overall, a great place for date night, great service, very cool vibe and the food was excellent!

   There are better places in the north end to go to. Seated 20 minutes past our reservation. Had to ask twice for our bottle of wine so it could ve opened. We ordered 3 desserts and only one was brought to the table. 20 minutes later when the waitress appeared we said we didn't get two desserts and to just cancel them. Also the espresso machine is broken so no coffee after dinner. Honestly, for $630 these are not mistakes that should happen and there are better choices in the north end.

   We loved our time at the Red Fox. We had dinner at the bar and the staff was incredible. Drink, food, ambiance 10/10. Make sure you try the handmade pasta special of the day. Chefs kiss!

   I showed up with a reservation at the bar. We sat down, spoke with the bartender and ordered an expensive bottle of wine. We also placed our food order. Within minutes, our wine and appetizers arrived, along with the complimentary olives and bread. While we were eating, I said to my companion that I hope our entrees dont come out too fast. Then they arrived within 20 minutes of us sitting down (we were still enjoying our appetizers). We told them to take them away as we werent interested in dining in 30 minutes. The bartender saw that we sent our entrees back and he must've spoken to the manager (I was in the bathroom). When I returned, the manager was scolding us for sending them back and told us they were full that evening and that we had to be out by 8 pm. We had no problem with that, but it was only 6:30. I was shocked at how she mishandled the situation and cant remember when Ive been more insulted. She was downright rude and we were embarassed by how we were treated. Perhaps this is the norm for how they treat customers especially since they’ve been getting alot of press since opening - get them seated, shove a bunch of food at them and send them on their way like theyre dining at a fast food chain. Thats not the evening we were looking forward to. I will never go back there.

   Lovely experience overall for my second time dining at the Red Fox. Professional, excellent service and made a birthday feel special. The food was overpriced comparing to other Italian restaurants in the North End, but it was still enjoyable and definitely a modern take on the classics. I loved the prosciutto and zeppole appetizer!

    Fantastic place. Great ambience and vibe with knowledgeable and very capable bartender. Had a reservation for 530pm right after work, but sat at bar instead. Place is definitely good for a later night vive, but fun earlier in evening too. Super yummy aglio pepe martini and a caparahillo version for dessert drink. Orchiette was superb.
