I must admit, the wait was worth it. However, not solely because of the quality of the food, but because when you put together the food with the (yuppy) atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonably priced wine and an overall reasonable bill, Foxley is a great night out for you and some friends.
I got to give it to head Chef Tom Thai, formerly at Tempo, for his tapas bistro in the up and coming west end neighbourhood. The Asian, South American and Spanish flavours combine great with his extensive (and reasonably priced) wine list.
One really cool thing about Foxley is the ever evolving menu, with new items routinely popping up on the already plentiful selection of items. Moreover, the Asian fusion plates meant for sharing between you and your mates provides for some pretty dazzling creations. For example, grilled beef heart with thai chilli lime salsa, anyone? Or, how about, frog’s legs sautéed with pobano pepper and szechwan spices? At first glance, I’m sure you can understand why I was a little overwhelmed with the menu choices. That said, it didn’t take long for the winners to pop out at me... grilled side ribs with caramelized shallot glaze? blue crab and avocado salad? lamb and duck prosciutto dumplings? YES please.
At the end of the day, the wait aside, great food for a great price.
