Foxtail is a fantastic place and such a unique dining experience. The building itself is absolutely stunning — it’s an old church that has been beautifully preserved and transformed into a restaurant. They kept the original structure, and the atmosphere is truly amazing.
The service was top-notch from start to finish. The food was super delicious. I highly recommend the hummus plate — so flavorful and beautifully presented. The salad was a huge portion, perfect for sharing. My burger was cooked exactly as I ordered — perfectly done. The cocktails were also excellent.
We had a five-hour layover between flights and decided to come here — and I’m so glad we did. If you have time, I definitely recommend this place. It’s only about a 15-minute drive from the airport. I can’t recommend it enough and would love to come back one day.

We had a wonderful experience at Foxtail on the Lake. Specifically we really enjoyed our sever Anthony! He was very knowledgeable about the menu and specific details for ingredients on the menu, very attentive. We had the breakfast flatbread that was a very unique but delicious dish and also had the Filet Poke Bowl (we requested sauce on side in the pic) which was delicious! They brought out a cute little dessert for us with the coolest candle. Overall, great experience and will be back again!

My husband and I came here for our anniversary, because we had been told about it. It was a fun and lively atmosphere with a great ambiance.
The food was delicious and the dessert was divine. Our server was amazing and our water glasses were never empty.
The seafood paella was so good, I got the tagine dish – so tasty! if you like Mediterranean flavor- lots of spices but not spicy.
We got a smoky bourbon drink. Which tasted like our bourbon just went out to a campfire. It was delicious.
For dessert we got the chocolate mousse cake thing it was yummmazing. I highly recommend.
I thought the pricing was fair for a mid-upscale restaurant. Definitely a date night out or bring your parents when they’re in town kind of place.
We will definitely be going back.

I really enjoyed this place.
It was a nice Sunday afternoon and the weather was great so we dined outside.
The seating outside is really nice, and so seemed the inside as well.
The food was delicious and tasted great (except that my burger we DEFINITELY not cooked medium because it was very dry,
but i still give the place 5 stars since that was either my waitress or the cook who dropped the ball there. But it happens. I am sure that if cooked to medium it would be much better).
I highly recommend the Grilled Octopus.
Bathrooms were nice and clean, which i always pay attention to.
They also have good espresso, and not every place has that.
I definitely recommend this place and would love to go back.

The kefta, paella, flatbread, and chocolate mousse cake were great! The butternut lentil soup was good, just a little too creamy. Our waitress was very nice and made sure to check in on us throughout the evening. Overall great atmosphere and place!

Drink was far too much ice so it was watery
Scallops were tender but massively oversalted, perhaps to counter the sauce? Not sure but I didn’t care for the sauce.
Steak was under salted. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were fabulous
If this had been a $50 meal I would have been fine but at a $100 I expect seasoning to be on point

Excellent restaurant. Our server Anthony was very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to our table. We asked him questions and he knew what every ingredient was and how it tasted. We never had to ask for more water or look around for an employee. Food was great. We had the breakfast flatbread and the filet poke bowl (sauce on side). The other tables food looked exceptional as well! 5/5 all day.

This place is truly special. The food is absolutely amazing, every dish made with so much care and flavor. The vibes are unmatched, the venue is stunning, and the energy is always perfect. But what really makes this place stand out is the team – you can feel that they are like a family, and they make every guest feel like part of it too. My favorite restaurant, without a doubt

Beautiful and exiting place to eat. The ambience is great and the views are also something unique. The food is delicious and presentation is also exquisite. We came with a reservation for a Wednesday noon and it was full so we highlt recommend making a reservation. We will definitely come back during sunset to see the view inside the restaurant through the glass murals.

I had brunch at The Foxtail On The Lake with my girlfriends, and it was absolutely delightful! The restaurant, set in a beautifully converted church with vaulted ceilings and a lakeside patio, has such a charming and inviting atmosphere. The food was fantastic — from fresh, flavorful dishes to creative cocktails — and the service was warm and attentive. It was the perfect spot for a fun, relaxing brunch with friends, and I can’t wait to go back!
