We stayed at the hotel and ate at the fortunate fox several times throughout the week. The team of servers was accommodating and attentive. We conducted a lunch meeting and they totally set us up with everything we needed, while never making us feel like we were overstaying our welcome! Food was fantastic, atmosphere was perfect for daytime and very lively at night.

Our Server Margaret was amazing! We were so excited to order Brunch on a weekday. The Prime Rib Hash was delicious and we also enjoyed some salt and pepper wings that were on special bogo. We will be back for sure!

Great experience! I last went here in 2014 with my writing group, and it has significantly changed. I love the new layout and atmosphere. The food was great, and the service was impeccable. I'd consider visiting again next time I'm in the area. Bonus points too; it wasn't as packed as another Fox and the Fiddle restaurant I went to at the same time, in a different, more energetic area.

It has been a while and I was glad to be back at The Fortunate Fox for an early Sat night dinner before our Koerner Hall event. The service is great from the Hostess at the door to our server Aysha so please don't be swayed by the negative reviews. We both had margaritas as they were 'on sale' (half price) and the Bartender deserves a high five too. The Fortune Fox has a great posh pub atmosphere and the diners ages ranged from 10-75ish. My friend and I enjoyed our Club Sandwiches and the chunky fries. We were too stuffed for dessert and we'll be back again soon.

Good part - food was good. Bad part- service. It started with no one coming to take our drink or food order for over 15 minutes (after they had issues finding the reservation). We had to ask the bartender walking by how to get food and drinks, so he summoned the wait staff. We only saw her when the food was brought out. Had to bring the water pitcher to the bar to get refills. Drinks ran dry, had to ask the bartender to help us though we were at a table. And then we had problems with the bill. It was not busy. Fortunate Fox could have made more money from us if they had been attentive in the least. I would also say this is a far cry from Kimpton client expectations as well.

It was terrible, great hotel and location, but the food was all messed up despite going over it multiple times. Didn’t really seem to care the orders were all messed up, just brought us the check, we tipped and left. I don’t think I’ve ever left a review of a restaurant, but this was that bad…

Simple pub food dine badly. Fish and chips; skimpy portion of fish encrusted in scorched, dirty oil deep fry. Both orders uneatable. Ordered zero alcohol beer. Served in draft glass, and halfway through the meal, second server revealed that it was regular Heineken. Stupid mistake! No manager in site. The place was 20% occupied at the time. 5:30 pm. We were heading to a concert at 7pm, so reordering was not an option. $100 bill for two people. Waste of time and money. Never going back.
