That's a lot for what it is. Also, unfortunately, there was so much fat on the brisket, that I was disgusted pulling fat out of my mouth in nearly every bite and there was a large pile of fat on my plate. I wish the brisket had less fat. For a family of 5 (3 kids on the kids menu)- expect to pay $100

I highly recommend the Avocado Tikka Bowl, and you really can't go wrong with any of their smoothies. The Avocado Colada is an absolute must try. If you have room for dessert, the brownie and avocado cheesecake were both delicious. Parking can vary depending on the day and time, but if the lot is full, there's a convenient parking garage directly across the street. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming, and the space is spotless. They also make their own hand soap, lotion, hair oil, and avocado oil, which is such a unique touch.

You can buy bottled Smoothies or enjoy their complementary infused water

The outdoor patio was cute and shielded from traffic with high wall dividers. Food wasn't the highlight, but I would come back to try other dishes. White Chocolate Pistachio Martini $14 - Not too sweet, nor too strong, good flavors. Grilled Octopus $20 - Small portion, tender octopus. Chicken Wings $17 - 8 meaty wings, naked, skin was slightly crispy and caramelized. Salmon Poke Bowl $19 - Simple and straight forward salmon poke bowl. The fries were crispy and delicious. For our birthday celebration, they gave us a yummy brownie and ice cream with a little candle. Reservations can be made on Resy. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026

Another great dinner at Foxtail!…read more We had to come back to try more of the menu, and this time we ordered: * Pork belly bruschetta: 5/10. Unfortunately, this one wasn't for me. The pork belly, ciabatta, and balsamic were all good individually, but together the flavors just didn't work. It felt mismatched... * Colorado lamb kebab: 10/10. This is one of the more $$ entrées on the menu, but it's absolutely worth it. The portion was generous, the lamb was high quality, and the artichoke pesto paired really well with the rich, gamey flavor. The roasted pearl onions were a great addition too. I would definitely recommend this dish. * Foxtail paella: 8/10 flavorful orzo paella loaded with seafood. Definitely a sharing type of entree! Always a great time at Foxtail with great food and great service!

It's also always clean when I come & the staff is super friendly. I wish I would have gotten the young lady's name who made my bowls today because she was amazing. I'm a creature of habit and the Harvest Bowl is what I'm getting 90% of the time. Today's bowl was super fresh (as always) and very tasty! I like to swap out the roasted chicken for the blackened chicken. That's another thing I love about SweetGreen is how seamless it is to customize your meal! The ONLY reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because ya girl HATES an onion. And my sweet potatoes today are giving a pinch of onion flavor. I'm assuming someone prepped the onion then prepped the sweet potatoes. Nevertheless, the bowl is still great and I'll def be back.

They have a variety of club, signature and classic sandwiches which from everything I've tried I thought were pretty great. The potato salad for side was excellent and I thought it was very fresh. Kick crab soup didn't disappoint. They do offer a pick two combo if you prefer some variety. Also thought their iced tea was great. Perfect amount of sweetness. Service is pretty minimal. Order up at the counter, they bring out your food, and clean up after you as there aren't any trash areas to bus yourself. Ambiance is casual. The plaza is pretty new so the handful of times I've been with the kids it is always near empty. Anyways I thought it was a nice casual option for the price point. No real complaints. 'Til next time, cheers!

We ordered the Mushroom Arancinis, which was phenomenal, definitely ordering that again. For the mains, we had the Walleye Puttanesca and the NY Bodega Wagyu Chopped Cheese. I think the dishes were good, but nothing over the top. The drinks to pair were also great we had a cocktail (I think it was Girls On Fire) and a beer! Now, what I thought was awesome was that they have a dog menu. they freeze the dog food on a frisbee and its a great enrichment tool and food for our pup. We enjoyed the ambience outside and loved sitting on the patio!

Bottom Line: Family run, good food, pleasant experience, overall decent value…read more First time here. This Greek family-run diner/restaurant is not much to look at from the outside. You could drive right by thinking it was a vacant building except for all the cars in the lot. The notion of vacant building is dispelled immediately upon entry. The place is busy, loud, vibrant with customers clearly enjoying the food and experience. The interior is decorated simply, with muted colors, is well lit, and clean. There are a lot of hard surfaces which makes the ambient noise level fairly high; however, it did not detract from the experience (but just be advised in case you feel this is bothersome). We were greeted warmly and though the place was packed, we were seated quickly. Despite the diner-like vibe, there is no counter, just tables and booths. Our server was prompt, very pleasant, and efficient. The coffee was hot and flavorful. The food: Large portions, well prepared, warm, savory, satisfying. The loaded Cheers omelette, with hash browns and pancakes, was more food than I could enjoy in one sitting so I have leftovers for tomorrow. Prices are in line with more reasonably priced independent eateries. A two-egg, hash browns, pancake combo is $14. This place will be an option in the future.

I hear their brunch is also amazing as well.

I requested our group to be placed in a corner since we were dining in with 2 kids and an infant who would be sitting in a stroller. She had said they were fully booked and a different party needed the table I was eyeing since they would be coming in with 3 strollers. I was there from 9am-11am on a Friday and it was not packed nor did a family use the table I wanted while I was there. No one came in with 3 strollers either. Aside from that, I was trying to be helpful so the stroller wouldn't get in the way of customers and wait staff. The host basically made it harder for them, not me. I started with the hazelnut oat mocha and this was delicious. This was the highlight of my time there. For food I tried the Shakshouka and it was not good. The pouched eggs were not cooked. From my pictures - it looks like the eggs were cracked in the dish and the chef called it a day. I didn't chance eating it, I ate the pita it came with and left very hungry. I'm giving Beatrix a generous 2 due to the space being beautiful and my latte being great. Unfortunately this is not a spot I'll be returning to.

Came here with my wife for our 2 year wedding anniversary. We've been wanting to try the food here…read more I mean, we drive by tons of times, haha. According to the server, they're going for a 1930s speak easy feel. You can feel that vibe; there's few lights and all the curtains are closed. It's dark! I had a cherry old fashioned and a butterfly martini. The old fashioned was good. The martini was very flowery tasting. Food wise, I had the 11oz colossal filet mignon. It was cooked perfectly. Be careful of the desserts, the cake slices are huge. We ended up sharing one. Only gripes are the bar can get loud and you can't hear yourself speak and there was a manager (?) going table to table asking how things were. They never stopped at our table.
