Real and super-rustic, the kitchen presents Old World cookery at its roots, with all the layers peeled back. Brother Fox utilizes a live-fire approach to cooking almost everything that we serve, from coal-roasted oysters to Carne Asada for two, served with hot tortillas. Our beautiful outdoor seating sets the stage for a casual meet up with friends for a glass of wine from regions near and far, carafes of Bathtub Gin or Sangrias from the bar. Inside, the cuisine and casually elegant design are the embodiment of a “neighborhood” spot that caters to visitors and residents alike, for special occasions, celebrations, and some of the finest wood-fired cuisine in Pensacola.

The service and food were both wonderful. Per usual. A friend and I had a girls night and both enjoyed a fillet and ended up sharing the espresso crème brûlée. It was chef’s kiss.

The lobster is an incredible deal. It could have been a bit more tender but that's kinda looking a gift horse in the mouth. What gets me is that the service is very bit as excellent as if we were paying the going rate for the meal instead of the deal. Staff is always very attentive and helpful. The Pecan Old Fashioned, made with Rye whiskey is super in my opinion and it is a very decent pour. You simply can't go wrong on an early Monday evening.
