Get a reservation or get there early. I had a BEAUTIFUL Sunday morning here. I checked the reservation online and they had a 10 AM opening and a line before they were even open. We sat outside , our server was wonderful and they were so helpful and accommodating. First I ordered the Dive Bar Coffee which just wasn't for me so i got the Dottie (with the good crunchy ice) instead and it was wonderful! (They even took the first one off and i didn't even ask, thoughtful. ) Food was delicious. My Hashbrown was delicious and crispy and seasoned and mm. And the salmon was yummy. My date got the baked eggs and loved it as well (they make their bread so will be back just to have bread). We also got the ButterScotch Budino for dessert. As someone who isn't a fan of pudding , this was goooooood. Salty, sweet and crumbling that cookie into it (per their suggestion), worth it. Their menu is seasonal so check before you go, but definitely go. read more

Yet another restaurant that surprised me in St. Louis. They have good food here. Like, foodie food. So my next dinner lead me to Little Fox. A small plates restaurant that felt a little Italian. We make reservations and show up to this place that looks like a neighborhood pub. Quaint, in the corner, inviting light shining through medium sized windows. Inside, the vibes were a hybrid of someone's very nice dining room and an old western saloon. I know that's almost nonsensical, but the vibes were good. We felt right at home. Service was spot on. The server was very nice and new the menu pretty well. The food came out tapas style, so when something was ready, it just came right out. I like that. I like the periods where there are so many plates on the table at one time that it's overwhelming. What's what eating is all about. As for the food itself, it was good. I'll give a little blurb on each thing, as not to wear out your eyeballs. Crispy Artichokes (sauce au vert​). These were fun and nice and crispy. Don't see artichokes like these very often. The sauce was a little weak, though. Didn't exactly go well with these fried little morsels. 'Nduja Croquetas (bomba rice, spicy prosciutto, fontina, grenada pepper aioli). Wow, now these little flavor bombs cannot be missed. Spicy sausage arancinis with a nice peppery aioli to dip. An intensely flavorful little dish that I loved. Can't find it on the menu, maybe it was seasonal, maybe it was a special, but we had a bone marrow French onion soup that was nice. The soup was good good. Very well developed flavors. The marrow bone was a little sloppy, though, and we got a transverse cut of bone, leaving very little marrow to access. Next were the Mussels (green garlic broth, Spanish vermouth, pickled peppers, spring onions, grilled LF bread). Very well cooked mussels, sitting in a lovely broth to dip your bread in. Ask for extra bread. But do not ask for extra of that sauce. That was really bad sauce. Sauce work seems to be this place's only weak point. Probably the biggest dish of the night, the Bolognese Bianco (Newman Farms pork & mushroom bolognese, bucatini, gremolata, parmigiano reggiano). This was a really nice pasta dish! Love those big, thicc bucatini noodles. Flavorful bolognese, great texture from the gremolata, and just cheesy enough to make this probably the most complete dish of the night. Then finally the Sea Scallops (ramp soubise, morel mushrooms, house-cured pancetta). Scallops were scored and cooked to look like fine art. Light scallops paired with nice umami from the morels and the pancetta, all tied together by that nice soubise. You don't see that very often either. We ended the meal with a Sticky Toffee Pudding (apple & date cake, apple brandy toffee, crème chantilly, marcona almond tuile). Chef's kiss. Such a delicate sponge with a nice date flavor. Then boom, the sweet boozy toffee, the creamy chantilly, the texture from the tuile. Every element helped make this a great dessert to end a great meal. Overall, another very pleasant surprise. This was a very good dinner, and I'll definitely come back if I'm ever in St. Louis again. read more

Pros: Ambiance was so quaint. It felt like it was a neighborhood corner bodega, but with a refined elegance. Very cozy. Service was A+. Very nice people who knew the menu very well, and the food came out at lightning speed. The food was so good, too. An eclectic, semi-Italian tapas menu with some real bangers on it. Lots of great sauce work, too. Cons: No real cons. Whatever spread that was on the bread with the mussels was absolutely terrible, so avoid that if you can. But everything else was great! Tips: Artichokes were great, scallops were great, sticky toffee pudding was great. It was all great! read more

I thought I would have trouble getting in on a Friday night as they didn't have any open reservations on Resy. But I was able to walk in and sit at the bar at 630 on a Friday night (and there were other open seats too). They seem to change their cocktail menu seasonally which is very cool. I got one that was a spin on an Arnold Palmer, was excellent. Mushrooms 10/5 ate the whole thing as a party of 1 Cavatelli 3/5 I wish the pasta was just slightly more al dente. But dipped in the mushroom sauce... Blueberry cake 4/5 read more

Little Fox has one of the best cocktail programs in St. Louis. It's a great spot to grab drinks and share small plates. I've been to Little Fox several times and have always had top-tier service. Their menus are innovative and sophisticated, with a variety of dishes. The interior feels intimate and inviting. My top cocktail is the Fine & Dandy, a great option if you enjoy pear and tequila. My favorite dish is the French onion soup with bone broth--it is rich yet well-balanced. While the food and drinks are on the pricier side relative to portion size, the food is solid and the cocktails are excellent. read more

LOVED. We picked this spot for a birthday celebration and for a small plates place the portions were so healthy!! I personally love appetizers and dessert the best out of every meal and this style made me have the best of all worlds! Our main server was very kind and attentive and I loved that I could see there was a team mentality. So many different people helped out with bringing us our stuff throughout the night. The location was not super busy when we got there and despite it being full when we left it wasn't too loud! We loved it here and will absolutely be back for celebrations in the future! read more

One of the best restaurants in the city. The immediate neighborhood of the restaurant appears charming but you will travel through some areas nearby that seem like they might be a little sketchy. The restaurant itself is a a trendy casual venue with attentive professional service. The food is wonderful and unique and deserves the positive press that it has received. I've never eaten anything here that wasn't wonderful. Don't miss the seasonal cocktails as well. read more

Little Fox is a VIBE. If you're looking for an elevated, memorable experience, I highly recommend checking them out. I sat on the patio on a nice summer evening and it was lovely. I started with the stracciatella which was delicious. The pickled corn and delicious bread really brought it all together. It was very fresh and tasty. The garganelli was insane. The pasta is freshly made and there's just enough meat in it to make it hearty but not overfilling. The presentation and taste was so good. I ended with the olive oil chocolate tart was really lovely as well. I loved the sea salt on top which balanced out the sweetness. Little Fox is a must go! read more

I have been meaning to stop in forever! And I finally made it. We didn't have a reservation, but we ran in on a Saturday right when they opened at 5 PM and were lucky enough to be able to get a seat. But I would definitely recommend making a reservation. Because within about 30 minutes, the place was full, and for good reason! The cocktails are amazing, and the food is even better. Not to mention the staff is awesome and knows everything about every dish. They were great with the recommendations. The "decisions, decisions" was the cocktail I got. A vodka-based cocktail that's spicy? Sign me up! Amazing. And the crispy squash? I was on the fence... But don't be. OMG it is so good. I could eat that every day. Absolutely delicious. Order it! We also ordered the Stracciatella which was yummy. It came with some toasted bread that just had the best smoky flavor. As my meal, I got the cavatelli and my friend got the gem salad. Yum Yum Yum. We really wanted to get the potato churros and short ribs but we knew we would not be able to eat everything! However, the table next to us got them and said they were amazing! We made friends and were talking about all of the delicious things we ordered. Cannot wait to go back. Such a warm and cozy place. read more

The space? Adorable! Food and drinks? Delicious! Service? The best you could ask for! This sums up my first visit to Little Fox. We were able to snag a reservation with no problem on the day of, and as tempting as it was to sit in the cute outdoor patio, 85°F weather made us decide to sit indoors. The wooden accents with a bit of beautiful blue color and plants gave the space a cute and cozy vibe. The server introduced himself soon after we sat down and was very understanding of our need to eat quickly for post-dinner plans. He even helped us choose our food as we wanted to try sharing 3-4 small plates between two people. We ended up ordering two mocktails and the 'Nduja Croquetta, Summer Squash Salad, Short Rib, and Royal Trumpet Mushrooms. The Croquettas were a deliciously carb-y start to our meal with cheesy rice with crispy breading on the outside. Squash Salad was very refreshing and light and the Short Ribs were very hearty and complex, all the while being very tender. Royal Trumpet Mushrooms were good, but my friend noticed that unlike the last time she had visited, when the dish only had trumpet mushrooms, this time it was half trumpet and half button mushrooms. As for the mocktails, I was really hoping for the cute fox ear decor on top, but alas, I guess it was only for the "real" cocktails. We ordered a Sober Poet and Lower Canopy and both were delicious. If I had to choose, I felt that Lower Canopy was a better-balanced drink though. Although I was originally concerned about both the timing of the meal (we only had 45 minutes from walking in) and the portion sizes, we left right on time and were satisfied with the amount of food shared. I can't wait to come back to try out the plates (entrees) when I have more time. read more

This was my first time at little fox, and I was not disappointed! It is super cute inside, with lots of tables, and bar seating. We had a reservation at 6, and we were seated immediately upon arrival. We tried so many dishes, and they were all great! I highly recommend going to shared plates route, because everything is so good. The cocktails were great as well! I will be back, and I cannot wait to try more of their menu! read more

Lovely place for a date night. The ambience is good and the menu is large and interesting. For 2 people, this is what we shared: -Her Name was Lola Cocktail: 7/10 - Nice sweetness but had a good bitterness. You do get a dry aftertaste from the liquor. -Potato churros: 9/10 - SO light, so crispy, so rich. The sauce that you dip them in is a lovely thick aioli. These were addictive. -Braised Ribs: 8.5/10 - I liked how flavorful the braise and sauce was, but I do wish the ribs had been a bit thicker and perhaps a bit moister. They were by no means chewy but I did wish it was more "melt-in-your-mouth." -Flatiron Steak: 6/10 - Got this rare. Not the best steak I've had, and came kind of lukewarm. The crispy potatoes are exquisite, though. -Garganelli: 9/10 - The butter sauce was delectable, and the pork was just so rich and tender. I've never had this shape of noodles before and I think it lent itself really well to the dish. read more

Went for brunch and the chai latte was excellent, as was the French toast starter. I had the roast beef sandwich while my wife had the breakfast sandwich, which she added roast beef to. Both were great. Not sure if we'll return specifically for brunch, but the roast beef was done so well that I'd love to come back for some of their other meat entrees. Service was excellent as well, and my wife was hit or miss on the decor, but I thought the bar area (where we didn't sit) seemed like it would be pretty cool. read more

Back for brunch with friends and it did not disappoint. We started with a coffee tonic and a few libations. The mezcal Bloody Mary was a popular choice and a total flavor bomb. The Good Morning Manhattan was a perfectly balanced cocktail and comes highly recommended by my husband. They also have an excellent wine selection. The French toast sticks were an easy, shareable win, and every entrée was beautifully plated and delicious. I ordered the delicata squash Benedict and was completely blown away. Between the crispy fry on the squash and the rich sage hollandaise, it was delightful. The rest of our group had the roast beef, steak and eggs, and the Spam breakfast sandwich. We all proudly finished as members of the clean plate club. read more

We've already been here a bunch so I'm just adding a couple more photos. We tried the short rib which was tasty but could have been a little more filling in my opinion.

Little fox is located at the heart of fox park st. louis. It's a cozy little vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. While the menu is relatively approachable and the drinks try to pair well with the food. The experience was a bit underwhelming. Curiously enough, the churros were under fried while the artichoke hearts carried more fry than flavor. I think more than anything was how exhausting long the service took. We spent more time waiting for anything to hit the table than actually eating. While some level of detail was taken in the crafting the menu, little attention is given to tableside service. read more

Little Fox is a must visit! Have done dinner and brunch here and recommend a stop in for both. Light and bright ambiance but have to admit that the seating isn't the comfiest. The booth seating is very upright but isn't enough to detract from the yummy experience. Love the shareable small plates, things change seasonally so if you see something that looks good try it! Service has been great every time, timely without hovering. Potato churros are a must order for us every time we are in for dinner...perfectly crispy with a rich flavor. The cavatelli pasta this visit is also a strong recommendation. Both times we have had pasta here, it has been stellar! read more

Yum! I don't know why it took me so long to eat at Little Fox! I made a reservation online without issue and debated between indoor or outdoor - did outdoor, but then the weather was supposed to be bad so I switched to indoor. Indoor was great, but outdoor is set up perfect for most inclement weather. The staff was helpful in giving recommendations on items to order and how much to order and they were right. We didn't leave a single bite uneaten! We ordered a variety of dishes and each one was so good. I always try to leave the best bite for last, but honestly, it was a struggle to decide which item that would've been. Bring friends and share a bunch of things! read more

My partner surprised me with a birthday dinner at Little Fox and I would 100%. The staff is incredible-- warm, welcoming and extremely helpful! We ordered two cocktails the Wild Thing and Weekend Away both were great. We settled on small plates to share and ordered the following: Snacks: Potato Churros, Ndujah Croquettes The potato churros were perfectly crispy and airy. The Croquettes were decadent and flavorful. Small Plates: Gem Salad (fresh, herby and delicious!), carne cruda (light, mustardy) mussels (broth was delicious and such a big fan of the crusty buttered bread) and cavatelli (such a great pasta dish that I kept coming back to). Dessert: Chocolate Olive Oil Tart (to die for and the perfect end to our meal). We loved the space and being able to see the kitchen work. Incredible experience read more

This was my first time at Little Fox and wow! Truly everything we ordered was phenomenal, legitimately the best brunch I've had in St. Louis to date, especially as a vegetarian. I started with the iced matcha late which was very smooth, light and creamy. We got the fluffy, flavorful ricotta pancakes to start and our server lit a couple candles as we were celebrating two birthdays. For my plate, I got the squash benedict and it was the perfect fall benedict! The acorn squash had a great crunch, the sage hollandaise was so flavorful, and the light arugula salad was a great balance. I also shared a side of the crispy fingerling potatoes and it had the perfect season and crunch. Can't wait to come back and try for dinner! read more

We were led here by the phenomenal reviews, and they did not disappoint. Dishes ranged from very good to outstanding, ranking them in order of favorites. Cavatelli: probably my favorite dish, rich without being too heavy handed on the cream, with a nutty topping that balanced it out well. Trumpet mushrooms: great texture, not oily, perfect preparation. Short ribs: good flavor, smallish portion, nice flavor to sauce. Good texture. Snack cannellini beans--great crunch and the perfect starter. Straciatella: pretty good but nothing exceptional, probably my least favorite dish Wine: tropical nosed sparkler from Italy. Really enjoyed this and at a good price point of ~$50/btl. read more

I brought my mom to Little Fox as a gift this week! It was both of our first times there and we had heard great things. First, the service was great. It got a bit slower when the restaurant was busy, but our server was really nice and helpful. We also were sat near the kitchen which is open, so we could see them cooking some, which I love! For drinks, I got the Fox Trot and the Pomona and my mom got the cigar lounge. We loved every drink - they were all SO unique and had so many flavors, and I liked that they were fairly strong. We split a number of things for food. Potato churros were so light and delicious and the sauce was amazing. The short ribs were also delicious and I loved the spice on them! The mussels were the least impressive thing we tried - they were okay but nothing special. Bread was delicious though with them! We also got the pork chop - would highly recommend! Perfectly cooked and the seasoning was so so so good! Normally I don't get dessert but after looking at the menu, we decided on the sticky toffee pudding (which hand not been on the menu online so it was a nice surprise)! I thought maybe it would be dense and we would need to take some home.. absolutely wrong. It was probably the best thing we ate all night - absolutely PERFECT, super light and delicious and the flavor was amazing. Do NOT skip dessert here! I can't wait to come back!! read more

I've been to the restaurant twice and enjoyed it repeatedly. I had the lemon ricotta pancakes as an appetizer and then the egg sandwich, and it was all-vegetarian-friendly. Though not a slave to it, I prefer to eat in that style and it was great to see a concerted effort to accommodate my preferences, while meat-eaters would have plenty of choices to appreciate. The staff was relaxed-but attentive and well-mannered. I lived in McKinley Heights for a decade and never went here or saw it, sadly. It's a lovely little place too, and the outside patio area seems like it would be a terrific place to take a small grouping. I really enjoyed it, an affordable-price-point, and went there alone and didn't feel odd or looked badly upon for doing so. I don't tend to drink but apparently this is a terrific spot for cocktails, again, what seems would be lovely on the patio this Summer. read more

Little Fox was such a nice place with some pros and cons. It's cute, intimate, and neutral but modern. In between casual and upscale. I thought the tables were a lot uncomfortably close together when it got busy and the acoustics weren't great for a crowded room - it was difficult to hear each other from across the table. The food was so good. I was surprised that there were so many quality vegetarian options. The cavatelli was my favorite. It was very expensive but I'd go back for a special occasion during a less popular time. read more

Good heavens. Everything was so good that I woke up full this morning, twelve hours later, and was not mad about it. I feel this can't be true, but the Garganelli was probably the best pasta dish I've ever had. That's a really high bar. Just the creaminess and the pulled pork oh my god. A very simple yet beautiful dish. Recommended to us by the waitress! Mushrooms were arguably better than wolf in the woods' hen of the woods which is saying a LOT. The crispy green tomatoes were so fresh and the batter was super crunchy. Basil sauce was to die for. Stracciatella was fire too PORK CHOOOOOOOP. Post-Lolinda, I have way too high expectations for pork chops. Little fox pork chops met them. I will say that my love for the pork chops was cut short once they brought out the steak. What a delectable steak. Also not even a fan of big fried potatoes but the ones that came with the steak might have changed my life? I didn't know they could do that to potatoes with such big surface areas. Duck was good, but I can't judge it objectively because I was so full at this point that nothing could taste great anymore. And just look at that beautiful bar! read more
