“ This was the perfect spot to spend our anniversary. The restaurant is beautifully setup in a way that makes you feel invited to be there. We had the grilled octopus with the seafood paella and pork chop. The pork chop was phenomenal. If you are going to order dessert the Mocha Torte is a must. So so good. ”
“ We went to Bro fox to celebrate an anniversary and we were not disappointed. Food, service, and atmosphere we're all wonderful! Highly recommend the snapper ceviche. The drunken goat cheese was delicious as well as the rest of the charcuterie board components. The seafood paella was very nice. The mussels were sweet and briny. Pan con tomato was flavorful. Highly recommend adding the Spanish anchovies. We especially loved the level of char on the toast. Overall an exceptional experience and we will definitely be back! ”
“ First time here and let’s say 10/10 highly recommend! Megan was such an amazing waiter for our food! Went to the Speak Easy and hung with John H! Let’s say the drinks are amazing and his company fantastic! We loved everything we had but definitely kisses to the chef Jacob! The charbroiled oysters are a must try! Happy Birthday to me! ”
“ This cozy restaurant is hidden in the neighborhood under what was a church, but is now a hotel. The staff is friendly and kind. The food is well prepared and not boring! You can get a roasted whole chicken, but if you're more adventurous, they have seafood paella or grilled octopus. Everything on the menu is delicious! You can enjoy their wine menu or bring your own bottle (30 and don't bring what they have). The craft cocktails are great and also offered in their "speak easy" next door, Sister Hen. Street parking is a bit of a pain, especially when it's raining, but that's the only downside to this welcoming gem! ”
“ Delicious food, gorgeous atmosphere- truly the perfect dates spot for a special occasion. It was very romantic. We got the seafood paella for two- sooo good. Afterwards we went to the speakeasy, the drinks and staff are amazing. So friendly and helpful. I will be going back. ”
“ It's a very interesting place as the building use to be an old church. They made it into a restaurant, small hotel, and a small bar where you have to use a soak ready to get in. As for the restaurant, it's outstanding. The food was great and the staff is very friendly. I will say it is expensive but the food is well worth it. ”
“ Really enjoyed celebrating our anniversary at Brother Fox Sister Hen! We started at Sister Hen for drinks—the candlelit ambiance is very intimate, & the drinks menu had a lovely variety, even with a dedicated NA section. The Bees Knees was my fave—so delicious and perfectly balanced. We were escorted through another secret door to our dinner reservation where we had the calamari special (nice touch with the homemade fried pickles in the mix) and the charbroiled oysters, which were packed with flavor! For mains we had the snapper special, the octopus, & the caviar special. The fish was a perfectly cooked generous sized filet. Octopus was tender and had great flavor. Caviar special had a goat cheese foam and the lightest, crispiest homemade chips making for the perfect bites. We loved it all! Our server, George, was excellent! We love when a server knows the menu well & can help us deliberate on enough but not too much food while making sure we don’t miss out on anything. Can’t wait to go back and enjoy the outdoor seating next time! ”
“ I had an amazing dinner! We got the cheese plate, paella and the Caesar salad and it was delicious! The staff was also very friendly and attentive. Would come here again!! ”
