    Our first time visiting Vulpine Taproom. Great local hangout in the Lake Forest Park shopping area. While there we learned they are planning to expand to the recently vacated spot next door. Good vibes inside with a super helpful and friendly staff. I had a nice craft beer, my daughter had an Elder Tail drink and my wife had a Liquid Death Hop Water. Each of us enjoyed our bevies. We sat outside in the outdoor patio to enjoy the warm Summer weather and struck up a convo with a local lady who frequents the place. Vulpine Taproom features a variety of rotating taps with great descriptions on the chalk boards behind the bar for easy ordering and have a good selection of canned non alcoholic drinks as well. They even have a liquor slushie machine that seems to be all the rage these days. I can't wait to return to see the expanded area!

    The best way to enjoy Labor Day weekend? A couple pints of beers and ciders at Vulpine‼

    Nice vibe. Cool artwork everywhere. Long skinny inside area with 5 2 seater tables, 4 bar seats, & 6 bigger tables. Outside there are 6-8 tables too. All Rotating taps of tasty beers. I haven't had the food but it was fun watching them make orders behind the bar. I think we'll make Wednesday trivia a regular thing; the host is pretty funny.

    This is now my favorite place in the world. A real locals hangout without bad vibes or judgement or exclusivity. Everyone is welcome and the place is alive and vibrant. Josh opened this place last year and has created a cool fun space for the 21+ crowd to hang, enjoy drinks, food, games, and community. He is often seen in the floor helping pour drinks, handle the register, administer trivia, and participate in the fun runs! Where else do you see an owner being on the ground like this!?!? And totally enjoying it too??? Amazing. The place is absolutely on point with the fox theme. There is fox art everywhere, intermixed with PNW outdoor elements and decor. Local art is for sale and the member mugs are handmade by a local artist too! The beers and wines sold here rotate but are generally all local. They even serve ciders and make their own 3 cocktails, which they call "fox tails". Ahhh so cute. They host trivia on Wednesdays, vinyl night on Thursdays, run club on Friday, and art hangouts on Sunday. They have a board game library. They serve solid looking sandwiches, cheese boards, and soups. It's everything I wish for and I plan to make this my 2nd home. Really highly recommend you visit this place. It's amazing and you'll feel like a regular the first moment you walk in.

I'm a huge wine person, but wasn't in a wine mood, so didn't get any, however, they had a lot of incredible wines to pick from. Our server was super sweet and attentive. We shared the mushroom melt and green salad. Both were so delicious. The salad was filled with tasty and fresh goodies. The sauce was really yummy. I love that our sandwich came with brown butter popcorn. The space is really cozy. They have shelves of wine, bar seating, and normal tables around. There isn't a bathroom in the space, but they have a key for a bathroom within stores it's attached to. There was street parking out front. I recommend checking this spot out for food and wine.

I'm here to review the food, which is great and unlike other menus in the neighborhood. Here, you will find "bar food" elevated so high it could hold its own among fine dining. My mom and shared a few plates: the Vinbero club, the spring pea risotto, and the kale Caesar salad. Everything was delicious. The club is packed with thinly sliced chicken breast, crunchy bacon, and fresh tomatoes, greens, and avocado. The contrast between the bite from the aioli on the inside of the sandwich and the sweet tartness of the balsamic drizzle on the outside was fun and unexpected. The kale caesar was very fresh with a great dressing. But for me the star was hands down the pea risotto. Perfectly creamy, vibrant green, and packed with fresh spring flavor. It appears they change up their risotto offering every so often, and it's gone now, but I will dream of that one until it appears again. Our server (maybe the owner?) thoughtfully split our sandwich onto two plates (hence why the photo only shows one half) and added the side of popcorn to both plates. A nice touch. The inside is a little small and dark though well-appointed. Their mini patio outside is crowded and uncomfortable. But they're doing their best with what the space they have. And truly the food is a standout in the area.

The Food: The broccoli cheddar soup is a must-try (so unique!), and the hazelnut prawns were magnificent. My husband loved his cod - it was incredibly buttery. Don't skip the cheesecake and French press coffee! The Bonus: Even the bathrooms are impressive! Roomy, private single stalls that are clean and stocked with breath mints. It's those little details that make this place a gem. We will definitely be back!

I tried the croissant french toast, which was delicious although a tad too buttery for my tastes. It wasn't too sweet and the texture was good (not mushy, more crispy on the outside and bread-like though I wouldn't say it was fluffy either), and since it wasn't too sweet I did get to try their maple syrup, which was a great pairing. Very odd, but I did also order scrambled egg whites on the side which were not something I expected to stand out to me! But they were delicious! I also added some breakfast sausages but they were a bit sweet and I probably wouldn't order them again. The vegan coffee cake was alright, but they topped it with cream cheese which I don't like, so I just had to pick out the bread from the bottom. It totally doesn't taste vegan at all though, so this is definitely a great choice for vegans!

    So I don't think I've been to a restaurant where there's a 3.5% surcharge because the restaurant…read moredoesn't pay their staff enough? Is that the reason? I honestly don't get it, but I still tipped above 15% for the service regardless. Service was very attentive, so I do feel they deserve a reasonable tip. But if the restaurant needs the customer to help them pay for their staff with this added surcharge to the bill, then maybe it's better for the staff to find a better job. Seems strange to me. But anyways, regardless, I enjoyed the food quite a bit. I'm usually a pretty tough critique on Italian food since it's one of my favorite cuisines. So for me to say the food is good should say a lot. I got their chicken risotto and I was impressed by it. I also got an opportunity to try some of their pizza and the crust was done very well. Not a floppy pizza. They have a proper pizza oven for baking it. Very good! The restaurant atmosphere feels quite high end. Great for date night, business dinners, or a fancy family meal. The restaurant did feel a bit crowded and tight though. Especially with how busy it was. I honestly think this place has great food. I just hope the staff gets paid enough. Like, I'll tip! Just don't have me pay for what the employer should be paying them. Just have me pay them for their great service.

My fiance loves the carbonara. We sat outside and loved the patio. It's quiet and has great people watching. Our server was amazing and totally had our backs- she let us squeeze a happy hour order in at 5:55pm and also checked in with the kitchen after our food took a bit longer to come out. She was great! We also got the shrimp app and loved it, plus a ceasar salad. Their house wines are also great and well priced. The inside is really cool, perfect for a date night. In the fall when it's dark out around dinner time, it's a very cozy and romantic vibe in here. There is a reason I keep going back!
