FoxFire

Nice location in the heart of downtown Geneva. You can enter from the front or the rear and the hostess stand is near the middle. Nice outdoor patio area for warmer weather and plenty of seating inside. We were seated in a back side room which was cozy and quiet but service seemed to suffer being seated in there. The food was absolutely fantastic from the appetizer to the main course. Bang Bang Chicken appetizer was great and I highly recommend adding on a Cesar salad to your entree. For our meals we had the Forager’s Risotto and the Blackened Chicken Alfredo which I subbed Rigatoni noodles for. It was our first time eating here so I am not sure whether bread and butter is included but the table behind us was offered it and we were not. Water and soft drink glasses were empty for a while before being refilled but we will be back just based off how delicious the food was. Everyone has an off night so we will hope for better service next time.

My brother , Uncle and I went to this place after a long day. The service was great. The food was top tier and large portions. I had so much ribs I was able to share with my family lol! Everything was on point. Drinks always full and atmosphere was fun with the live music. This place is great for a fun night out. Thank you all again for everything! We will be coming back on our next visit to IL.

FoxFire is an absolutely incredible experience that I'd recommend to anyone. Extremely friendly and attentive staff with some of the best food I've ever had. Perfect place for more of a high-class meal. Truly some of the most stand-out service and food quality I've ever had anywhere. 100% you must try this place out as soon as possible.

Food: We started with the calamari, which was expertly cooked—tender with a satisfying crisp. The lemon aioli, though slightly thin, still delivered great flavor. For our entrées, we both opted for steaks, my ribeye prepared Au Poivre and my partner’s NY strip in the Foxfire style. Both were cooked precisely to our requested temperatures. We also indulged in a surf and turf experience—my scallops were perfectly tender with a rich, deep sear, while my partner’s Ahi tuna, though well-seasoned with salt and pepper, would have benefitted from a more pronounced sear. The sides, unfortunately, fell a bit short. The sautéed spinach was enjoyable but could have used garlic or shallots to elevate its flavor beyond just salt and butter. The sautéed mushrooms were notably bland, lacking seasoning or richness from butter. For dessert, we were slightly disappointed to find that the carrot cake, listed online, had been replaced with crème brûlée. However, our selections still impressed—my cheesecake was delightfully light, complemented by a sweet raspberry sauce, though I would have preferred more sauce on the cake rather than the plate. My partner’s tiramisu was equally airy yet packed with a bold espresso punch. The drink selection was another highlight of the evening. We sampled the Flannel Shirt, Major Fashioned, a Moscow Mule, and a Lemon-Blueberry Mojito—all well-crafted and enjoyable. Service: Service was outstanding from start to finish. Our water glasses were promptly filled within minutes of being seated, and both drinks and food arrived faster than expected—without ever feeling rushed. Our server, Marcia, was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive, answering all our questions with ease. Atmosphere: As expected in a fine dining setting, the ambiance was dim but well-balanced—we had no trouble reading our menus, and the candlelit tables added a cozy touch. Visiting on a weekday, we found the noise level to be a pleasant murmur, creating a lively yet intimate setting. While I don’t recall any background music, the engaging conversation and delicious food kept my focus elsewhere. Overall, our experience was highly enjoyable, with standout dishes and excellent service. While a few elements could be improved, the quality of the food and atmosphere made for a memorable evening.

Had my set on the curt did not see it but on special of the was something I've never had Beef Wellington and yes it was awesome Also a slice of blueberry and lemonade cheesecake Which was homemade by waitress If she me her then don't remember 😏

I went to FoxFire and was treated to great hospitality and friendliness. The meal was perfectly cooked, the steak was fork tender and the lobster superb. The staff (Allie L) was attentive and very helpful. This may have been my first visit but it certainly won't be my last.

We live in northern cook county but always make a trip to this place to have an amazing meal with friends from Batavia. You want a great location, great food, amazing service and excellent atmosphere then this is your place. Amazing filet cooked to perfection. Garlic mashed potatoes! Prime rib was done just right and the avocado salmon was perfect with risotto. Major old fashion, yes please. Enjoy!

Service was wonderful and the atmosphere was very beautiful. The appetizers were rather underwhelming, calamari and egg rolls were just fine; nothing special. The entrees were fantastic, highly recommend the risotto and the Cajun sandwich.

We had a nice dinner here on Valentine's Day. I messed up and made our reservation a day early and didn't realize it until we arrived. We drove an hour through a snow storm. They were very accommodating even though they were crazy busy and squeezed us in. We had drinks at the bar while we waited. The supper club punch was yummy! The food was very good. My husband said the ribeye was one of the best he ever had. Mine was top tier too! We will definitely be back!

Went out for a ladies night after work. Everything by was great. Love the atmosphere and the staff were so incredibly polite & attentive. Food is a little higher than most restaurants but was worth it. You get rolls fresh out of the oven. I had the cauliflower steak with mashed potatoes- i know it sounds silly but it was SO good! The creme brûlée was soooo good too. I will 100% be back and am already trying to plan a date night here with my husband.

Although, tasty... I ordered an entree Mac N Cheese for $12, should be a little more than a child's portion. At least you'd think??? Very disappointing and now need to make something else to eat. This is the first less than great experience we've had there. This was a take out order so I didn't see it until we got home, unfortunately. The photo is exactly how it looked when I opened the container.

We had a wonderful dinner there several weekends ago. We were fortunate enough to grab a table outside on the back patio. While it might overlook the parking lot - sitting outside is such a pleasure in Chicago. We started with the 'Love and Passion" and a glass of the Red Blend Troublemaker. Both paired nicely with the Bang Bang Cauliflower. The srichacha drizzle was delicious on this dish. Definitely recommend the appetizer. For entrees - we got the Spicy Vodka Pesto Rigatoni and the Beef Filet Medallions - Twin 4 oz. Certified Angus Beef medallions, blackberry-brandy demi-glace, blue cheese crumbles, dried cranberries, served with Boursin whipped potatoes. The steak with the demi-glaze was outstanding and I would order this dish again and again. Not overly sweet at all. My husband enjoyed the rigatoni - just wished it was a bit more spicy. Overall - a great experience and I would go back if I was in the area.

Food was cold and the service was bad. The waiter was nice but the place is too cheap to hire enough servers. Won't return to this dive.

1st and most likely last time visit...chose this restaurant due to it's amazing reviews. Ordered surf and turf which was a 4 oz lobster tail and 4 oz filet mignon. I was very disappointed when entree arrived. The filet was super tiny, resembling a small, strip of meat instead of the traditional filet. I expected a lot more for $65!!! Substitute potato for Brussels sprouts that were overcooked/burnt! Very disappointing...

We had heard this was the best steakhouse so we were a party of 6 with a reservation on a Sat night. Greeted by an unfriendly hostess and seated at an unsteady table right behind hostess stand. Manager yelled at 2 staffers while we were eating. Tables are crammed together right against a railing. Server told me to push my food 6" to the center of table because it sloped so badly it would fall in my lap. Silverware rolled right off the table! Not a good start. Appetizers were good. Steaks were very salty and portions extremely small for price. The beet salad with sweet potatoes had 3 thumbnail sized potatoes and was mostly greens. Salmon on top was cooked perfectly. Chicken Marsala had 3 mushroom slices and I had to ask for a steak knife to cut it. Overcooked. There were 3 bites of mashed potatoes with it. The Lobster was exactly 3 bites. Seems to be a "3" theme here. It's very noisy and hard to carry on a conversation plus they have a live band. If you just want a drink, appetizer, and listen to a band, this is a good place. Just skip the dinner.

Great steaks and burgers. Love the Bacon wrapped Dates. Great beer selection and they make a great Manhattan.

Nazis eat here, be carful, the ambiance is unwelcoming. They don't care for their fellow neighbors.

Food and service excellent. Food a bit pricey. Drinks way over priced. For the price not worth it.

We went to Foxfire last night. We were looking forward to a nice steak dinner. Boy, were we disappointed. We both ordered the $66 ribeye. They were cooked fine, but they were small and very thin. Definitely not worth the price. Our appetizer and sides were just average. Unfortunately, we will not be going back. Note: Our waiter was very nice.

Went there with a business party of four. The server felt he was always right, and we were wrong. The service was very very slow, and the steak was nervy and not worth the price. The Chicken Marsala was dry. The calamari appetizer and tuna were just ok. Many better options for less money in the area on 3rd street or in St Charles, Illinois. This "restaurant" needs to retrain their staff, or they won't need to worry about it much longer . . . albeit they have daily specials that are cheap and tend to keep traffic coming in. This is not a high-end place but a "bar restaurant" that wants to be ritzy but isn't. Will not be back for a business dinner, but maybe a drink.

Best steak in the valley. Also crab legs. Lunch specials are excellent and quite the value these days.

Shame on you Foxfire/Copper Fox for ruining the plans of so many people that had events planned at Copper Fox. You provided no alternative plans and you notified people hiding behind your email. Geneva should be ashamed of you and boycott Foxfire

Went there for the first time after seeing a news feature on them. The food was bad- the soup of the day was right out of a Campbell s soup can. The burger I ordered didn't come with fries or anything- it was very over priced. I observed too many staff on hand and the managers not very propessional. I don't think this place is worth the trip.

This is my husband and I first time dining here at Foxfire. We are celebrating his birthday. The steak and lobster roll was so delicious. Our server Jennifer was AWESOME with a sweet personality. We will definitely dine here in the near future.

Twin Lobster Tail and Vegetarian Stuffed peppers. Lobster tail Nicely Was tasty and stuffed peppers was a unique healthy option. Good atmosphere as well

Can't go wrong by visiting Foxfire. It will not disappoint and they have amazing weekly specials. The service was friendly and the vibe makes you feel right at home.

We've been going here for years, and have been very supportive through the pandemic period. Since then, the prices have increased so much, it's cost prohibitive and the quality has deteriorated. And the coffee is undrinkable, even after complaining and getting fresh cups. On a Saturday night, it was extremely crowded and our business won't be missed, but we are going to take a very long break. On the plus side, service has always been stellar.

Foxfire has high prices. Seafood dishes $24 and up. 6 Oz filet like $46, other steaks like up to $60+. Ordered the scallops de jonghe and a side salad. Italian dressing was like the kind you'd get at Olive Garden or an all you can eat buffet, certainly not the kind of dressing where meals were so expensive. Scallops de jonghe came out, there were only four. At $29 I expected 6, five for bare minimum. They seemed to have boiled the ocean to get these scallops because the primary experience first bite to end was salt. VERY salty. My wife had the ahi tuna which she found too salty and my son had cauliflower steak, also salty. The salt abuse is a shame because had the chef gone easy on the salt, I could have rated the dish 4 stars, five stars if 6 scallops. It had great elements like crispy garlic bits and good lemon flavor and nice crispy bacon pieces but the extreme salt took it down severely. Side salad besides sad mass produced mediocre dressing also seriously lacked substance. They should have thrown in an olive or two, some onion slice, some bell pepper. They had a vegan burger option then blew it by not having any vegan buns, which are easy to get. Until they bring down their salt levels and their high prices, I wouldn't eat here again.

Food here is incredible. Drink selection and service is outstanding. I highly recommend a visit if your looking for a great dinner with a good atmosphere. AAA+++

Prices are way high! We started with a cocktail $15 each, which seems to be standard now, but that's ridiculous. Then we got our app - Bacon wrapped dates which people loved in other reviews. The bacon was good but the inside was just mush. Then we ordered dinner She got the scallops De Jonghe & I got the Ribeye Pittsburg style with baked potato Scallops were delicious, but just came on a bed of spinach. It Wouldn't have been enough food for me. All the steaks have melted butter/garlic on them which is nice. The Ribeye was very good cooked perfectly-med/rare. Bill for 2 people with 2 cocktails & app was over $170 So after tip over $200. I don't see how/why people can pay that consistently. It's definitely higher quality but not worth the $ to me. I can get a nice meal & drinks for 1/2 the $ elsewhere

dined in last night and it was an incredible experience. our server was fantastic and knowledgeable, and was quick to accommodate all our needs. she gave us great drink recommendations. i ordered the filet diane, and it was fantastic. the only thing i wish was that the steaks came with vegetables with the garlic mashed potatoes. that is just me being knit picky, and other than that, it was still delicious! the table bread was alright, nothing special. the drinks were STRONG, and pretty good but small (but enough for you to feel it so it was ok that it was small). the french onion soup is stellar and so was the soup of the day, the loaded potato. a friend got the cajun surf and turf and it was unreal. better than the filet diane in my opinion. if you get a chance, get the vanilla bourbon mashed sweet potatoes! they were amazing! another friend got the steak frites. fries didn't seam to be fresh cut or anything special (which i expect from an expensive steak restaurant like this one), so i would opt out of that order next time, and she agreed. ended the night with carrot cake (which was fantastic) and the death by chocolate. the chocolate was a tad rich for my taste, even though i am an avid chocolate lover (tasted like a rich truffle), but still was great. overall, this is a great dinner spot! loved the low lighting (perfect for date night) and the warm atmosphere wood interior. cozy vibes

My boyfriend chose this restaurant for a date night for us. We called for a day of reservation and got in at 7 pm. The hostess stand is in the middle of the restaurant. There is limited street parking out front, but there is a large parking lot out back. On Wednesday night the bottles of wine are half off which was nice. They have a decent wine selection. We started with crab cakes which were delicious. Based by the pictures, I decided to go for the upcharge and get the caprese salad with my meal. I was happy with this choice. My boyfriend had the Ceasar salad which only looked ok. I had the 6 Oz filet and it was cooked just to my liking. It came with a small amount of mashed potatoes. My boyfriend had the filet medallions which came with fingerling potatoes. Those potatoes were excellent. We splurged and split a dessert as well. We went with the death by chocolate as that was recommended by our server. Prices were slightly high and service was a little slow. (Friendly service though by all staff encountered). It was a cute place and I'm happy that I gave it a try.

Simply great. Burgers, soups, pork chops, and steaks...all great. Make every effort to try Jess' cheesecake. The chocolate covered strawberry is one of the best cheesecakes you will ever eat.

Perfect 50th Wedding Anniversary dinner! Thank you Firefox for helping me surprise my parents for their 50th anniversary. Nikki was fabulous to work with and made everything so easy! The private room was perfect for the 12 dinner guests! Everyone raved about the food and beautiful atmosphere. Our server John took special care of us and was lovely all night!

Service was terrible. The owners wife was in charge and she was extremely rude. The meat served was raw. Instead of properly cooking our food she argued. Meat with no grill marks is raw and she disrespected us to no end. It was my fiancé's birthday and we were treated like we had no idea what we were talking about. There was no apology for serving raw meat and no compensation. Not at all good with customer service. And after several visits over the years it seems like they have no idea how to treat a customer. The customer is usually right and treating people the way we were treated will eventually cause this place to fail. They failed on my fiancé's birthday.

Been for steaks a couple of times. The steaks are always good and always something new and special on the menu. The drinks are made great. Our service was great had an attentive and funny server who new the menu. Atmosphere was very comfortable as well if you sit at the massive booths they have.

This was our first time here. Our service was good ambience and decod is outdated. I ordered chx marsala and the rest of our table ordered steak and prime rib. My chicken was impossible to cut into and smelt spoiled. And the two prime ribs couldnt be cut into ( This was a complaint at other tables as well). They dud replace my dish with a basic burger but by the time i got it everyone at my table was done eating already. I requested my food to go which i threw out later that night. All and all we will never return to this place. The bill was was way too much for the quality of food. There are far better areas for steak seafood pasta and chx in the area

One of the best steaks ever. Everything was on point the food was excellent the service above the norm. The restaurant clean and inviting overall a great experience a decent great place to go and enjoy the food and atmosphere

THE ABSOLUTE WORSE FOOD EVER!! I actually went back today to speak w management IN PERSON. Waited 30 minutes then left my name and number. That was at 11 am yesterday NO CALL AS OF THIS REVIEW Let me be honest/forthcoming; we have gone there for over 5 years, recommend many family and friends, and always enjoyed. That is the reason I wanted to keep it private and took the time to go in person. I believe it all started when my disabled sister, our brother and my husband were told no room and then my capable daughters were offered an outside table! Within 5 minutes of each other. Seriously, what would you think? All but 1 of 8 entries were horrible, either cold, burnt or messy and not grilled (taken straight from a soui vie). Drinks, waiter and bus person-FANTASTIC

We celebrated our 1st Anniversary at FoxFire in early July. This was our second attempt dining at this establishment. The restaurant has a great vibe, and we were lucky enough to be there on a night with live music. Unfortunately for the second time in a row, the food was just OK. The waitress did an excellent job, and the drinks were delicious.

We had a great dinner with excellent service. Everyone each time we have been here has been fantastic, really on top of the needs we have without being pushy at all. I was a huge fan of the warm french onion soup. It was filled with tons of onions and lots of cheese on top. I liked my husbands Cajun crusted steak and wish i ordered that. Not over powering with the seasoning. We are big fans of the weekly specials they offer.

Atmosphere is classic Steak House. Prime Rib Egg Roll appetizer was Exceptional! Also had two entrees salads that were good but nothing over the top. Carrot cake for dessert which was very moist, & delicious. A fair size slice, but have definitely had much bigger. Wouldn't even mention it, but it was $15. However, as I said it tasted very good. Would like to go back to taste a steak or a burger.They looked good.

My colleague and I were in Geneva for one night staying at the Herrington. We wanted to get a brisk walk in while we went to get some dinner. From what I understand, Geneva is full of culinary gems. For us we chose FoxFire due to the distance on foot AND the warm welcoming glow we felt from the sidewalk. The inside is really lovely -- high ceilings, rich bar, welcoming staff and the kitchen is 'open'. It was not too busy on a Tuesday evening which was fine by me. From start to finish our server was outstanding -- hence the five stars. She was personable, helpful and you could clearly see she really loves her restaurant and job. She turned me on to the local brew Penrose which was delicious... I could have thrown a couple more back had I not had to do a workshop the next morning. We both ordered house salads and the steak/frites. I actually ordered mine "medium, because too many undercook medium rare". She put me down for medium rare and mentioned the owner was in the kitchen. Well, he cooked a magnificent medium rare steak and it was delicious and flavorful with the pesto sauce on top. For desert we had the brownie a la mode... oh my. So I am a brownie fanatic. Forget the brownie -- the vanilla ice cream was out of this world creamy and delicious. Yeah, the brownie was yummy but I could have eaten an entire carton of the vanilla. Nicely done Foxfire -- you took GREAT care of us.

We met some friends here a few weeks ago. This was the first time my husband & I were here. It was burger Monday so we all ordered burgers without looking at the menu. Good burgers, very good service. Came back today with different friends & was surprised at how pricey everything was (especially at lunch time when prices are often lower) Since they were treating we opted for sandwiches rather than an entree. Food was still good, service was also good (we had the same waitress as our first visit). Not sure how often we'll come back because we're not local but I wouldn't be opposed to going back.

Went on a Monday for my son's birthday. The restaurant was packed! Love the warm ambience, fireplace, and dark wood. The pork chop with bourbon sauce and mashed sweet potatoes is the best! So glad we stopped in!

Great food great service! I had business dinners there twice last week. Both times exceptional food and service!

We went to Foxfire on 11/1 for my Birthday dinner. My husband and I wanted to try somewhere we had not been before in the area and chose Foxfire, we were very happy with our choice. We had amazing service, our food was delicious, the ambiance was great, and the drinks were good too. We already told our families this is somewhere we need to go together. Would highly recommend!

I took my wife to celebrate her birthday and my friend with his wife. The waiter always took for ever to come to our table. When he finally took our order my friends wife order a steak and he said they rat out of a New York strip steak. Yeah I don't think a steak house should ever run out of steak. I like the place and maybe I will give it another chance one day and hopefully it's they make up for my wife's birthday. Until next time the food gordo

We recently dine at Foxfire for an investment meeting with Charles Schwab in Geneva. The starting appetizers of butterfly shrimp and stuffed mushrooms were among my favorite. On a chilly night we began with a warm delicious cream of rice and chicken soup. The entree was a perfectly cooked steak with a side of chicken in herbs and fresh vegetables. Not that we needed dessert but a hot brownie in ice cream finished off the night. Our back room was perfect for the meeting and the staff did an excellent job attending to everyone's needs.

We tried Foxfire out for our weekly date night after we had someone recommend it. Sadly, we were disappointed in the overall experience. Our table and the ambiance was amazing, but that's about where the impressiveness ended. We ordered 2 drinks which were sorely overpriced for what they were, poorly mixed, and too full of ice to enjoy the flavor. We ordered the charcuterie board and were disappointed to find brown, overripe apples and spoiled salami. To be fair: It was taken off of our bill at the end. Finally, we ordered our steaks which came with wilted side salads, and were undercooked from our preference for both of us. Though they were undercooked, we did enjoy the steaks but that's about it. Sadly I'm not sure we will come back but I wouldn't completely rule it out.

My wife and I went here for lunch craving a nice steak after a long hiatus from eating out due to COVID and kids. We were not disappointed. Steaks were of high quality - wife had the filet & I had the NY strip. So juicy, perfectly cooked to temp, my strip had no fatty parts. Honestly one of the best steaks I've ever had. Yes, it's $40+, but totally worth it. Really good atmosphere, clean, nice staff, no complaints. Highly recommend if your looking for a low-key spot for an amazing meal. (Do yourself a favor and leave your "dictator/political bs out of your reviews. Good for the owner not wanting to lose his business and glad it's still open, but COVID did happen and your negativity towards people who don't agree is extremely childish and disrespectful to those who died/suffered. Have some respect. )

Had dinner here with a large group the other night. The restaurant is beautiful. Had a few appetizers. The only one the stood out was the calamari. I had the NY strip for dinner and it was great. Cooked exactly the way I asked. All others enjoyed their meals as well. Service was ok. Nothing to write home about. Worth checking out if in the area.

Walked up to hostess 'Reservation?' Horrible way to greet a customer. 'Yes- 7 pm. Is there seating outside?' 'Well...I can check'. (checking on outside seating is like climbing Mount Everest in January) We were seated inside -she didn't check. Seated and Fifteen minutes later waitress showed up....to take drink order. (Ok--I know there are staffing issues...) No bread at table..seems they ran out. How hard is it? Ordered steak -medium well came out rare. Bus boy ended up serving us --and he was great. --- Hostess needs a new job at were she can sit and twirl her hair in a corner by herself. --- Management-train your staff! 'Good evening. Welcome. Your server is..... here is the drink menu and specials. She will be with you in a few minutes.' --- Folks--you can do a lot better for your money in Geneva!! A business like this can't succeed

Excellent experience. Staff was great friendly and professional. Food was excellent as well I ate the Firefox fillet medallions and my wife got the Napa valley chicken both proteins were cooked perfectly. We left pretty happy with the whole experience. We will be back for more.

My husband and I dined here only a few weeks ago after hearing his great the food was. And so we stopped in for lunch. The good was average at best and nothing to write home about. Prices are off the chart for what they serve. Apparently it was a huge ordeal to remove skin off of Walleye Pike. We spent a small fortune on an average lunch and it wasn't anything memorable or remarkable. You can bet we will never dine here again. How disappointing! So here's my advice for what it's worth. If you're considering dining at this location run like your the last two monkeys boarding Noah's Ark and it's starting to rain! You've been warned folks!!! Enter at your own peril.

So, if you're drunk or inebriated can n any way,it is supposed to be good. I was both! The food was sub-par. Drunk and hungry yes. I'm still a foodie so NO!!! Garbage all the way around. Bartender was great......food sucked. Never again. Garbage.

First off, I hate Yelp. I think it's just a way to give rude people a voice to hurt businesses, however I'll most definitely write one for Foxfire. Foxfire has my most favorite steak in the world, the Oscar style Filet. Their wait staff is always absolutely fantastic, as is the management. Rarely have I had any issues with undercooking or overcooking steak, however the few times I have it's been corrected quickly and kindly. Amazing place, I could go on and on. 10/10 my favorite restaurant. Please give them a try, you won't regret it.
