    I have had many seafood linguine/marinara meals at many restaurants and have to say that the seafood linguine ordered at the Copper & Fox was by far the best l have ever had. My compliments to the chef it was perfect. ! Thank you!

    First time to Copper and Fox. We are from interstate and were recommended this venue by family. We were really surprised that such a great venue is available to the local community. We had lunch there on a Sunday afternoon with a couple of family members and the first thing we all said when we left was how good the food is, I was not expecting some great flavours with generous serving sizes. The staff on the day were awesome, they had the right mix of let you settle in, awesome food recommendations, checking in on how our meals were going, some little cheekiness which was welcome and leaving us alone when needed😀 With an open plan and lots of timber the acoustics can make it hard to have a chat without shouting - a great experience with interesting wine list and a very happy foursome - Thank You!

    Overall our experience was great, however if you want quiet conversation this is probable not the place. We were downstairs for a Saturday lunch and it was extremely loud. Food and service absolutely fabulous!

    We had an amazing time. Vibrant atmosphere. Good for younger crowd and older aswell. We dined on Saturday night and it was fully booked. It was a loud environment full of happy customers and smiling waitresses. If you want a quiet corner to eat in this is not the place for you. We loved the vibe. The waitresses were all amazing, happy and very helpful, nothing felt like an effort. The food was fantastic. Fresh and beautifully made could not fault anything. The serving sizes were very large. We probably didn’t need an entree but we had one and it was also fantastic. You definitely should go on an empty stomach. Will definitely be going back.

    Very nice. Only reason for 4 stars on the service was that it was a little slow but considering it was a busy evening everything went smoothly. Staff helpful and we did not feel rushed. Great work. See you next time.
