“Foxtrot” Me!
Great news! We have a new restaurant in the area, the Foxtrot. Actually, everyone’s running around calling it a restaurant or bar or whatever, but it’s really a supper club. We visited last week, after they had only been open about a week or so.
I’ve been really bummed about the rash of local restaurants that have closed, so I was really pleased to hear that Foxtrot was taking over the old Levee space. They’ve done a beautiful job with the interior, it’s very rich looking, with a warm, cozy feel. I didn’t know it at the time we visited, but a couple past members of the Anvil family work over there too, Terri Spencer and Kerri Young.
Foxtrot had many fun, sincere, and flattering things going on, including some really innovative menu items (where else can you get caviar for $14.95??). Our server wasn’t able to find a martini list for us, but the bar is quite nice and I hear they specialize in martinis. We even saw one of our regulars there, sitting at the bar with the owner! It’s so nice to see familiar faces out on the town, having a good time!! We really wanted to have a chance to meet Mr. Faris, the owner, but he was on the phone while we were there, so hopefully next time.
Speaking of our server, Kim, she was really awesome. She took very special care of us. Be sure if you go in to ask Kim for the real creamer for your coffee. She told us that normally they bring the powdered stuff, but when she has special tables and there aren’t a lot of other people around, she will bring out real milk for the coffee, but she can’t if it’s busy, because then everyone would want it. We lucked out that night, let me tell you, having Kim all to ourselves! Everything was really fresh and good quality. Kim let us in on the secret of how they keep their coffee so fresh. After they brew it all up on Sunday, they freeze it to keep it fresh until they’re ready to use it during the week. Foxtrot’s menu lists a really great variety of different meats, including lamb chops, scallops, and Certified Angus Beef. We were bummed we couldn’t try everything!! The grilled rosemary that came with some of the entrees was such a nice, fresh touch, we couldn’t help but be impressed. And four of us got out the door for only $270, before tip!
So I want everyone from the Anvil club to get out to visit Foxtrot very, very soon, and give the Faris family a warm welcome to the fine dining community!
Sincerely and with much love,
Chef Mama
