Initially, we wanted to check out the LoveyouLatte for breakfast. We got so p***ed off by their attitude we left before even seated and went to Foxy's - once again. As always, it was excellent - one of the best old-school Sixties-era diners around.
The perfect place to go if you want a cozy place to make your own toast and enjoy ample coffee refills - the perfect breakfast/brunch spot!
And it's the perfect place to go if you want great service and a super vibe.
5/5: Atmosphere. From the A-frame architecture to the subdued lighting, to the opera playing in the background and the toasters on the tables, this place is retro without being cliched.
5/5: Service. Friendly, welcoming, polite.
5/5: Parking lot is ample.
5/5: Food. Your basic diner food, although they also have a bar with wine and cocktails. My wife and I both had the eggs breakfast - and it was perfect. The hash brows were better than my mum's, and that says a lot.
5/5: Wait time. We did not have any, but let's face it: Foxy's is very popular especially at breakfast and on weekends. You may have to wait a while but it's worth it.
Thanks for reading my comment. Now, if you are curious enough about my "rating scheme", here's "the moment of truth:
I am a music photographer who has traveled the world with the world's greatest musical talents (Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, and Rammstein, to name a few) for almost 40 years. When being asked "Where do you live" I tended to ask "in hotels". At my peak, I "shot" 250 shows a year.
Will say: been there, saw and tasted it, and a lot, as I may say, and much to the dismay of my doctor who is in my back to lose a few pounds. Quite a few, as I may add, which is why my wife and I walk ten thousand steps per day, where- and whenever we can - and explore a lot of new exciting places - places you may oversee when just driving by. While I love to share my experience with others, I am sometimes shocked at how people use their "power of the word" to down-rate amazing places because of minor incidents (in my all-time favorite restaurant Le Petit Four on Sunset Plaza the owner was even called a racist as he refused to toast the (free) bread in his packed restaurant - they simply do not offer toasted bread, as no French place does, as I may add).
Or I just read "Chicken piccata so over-salted I hope the dog enjoys the leftovers tomorrow, I brought home most of the dish." Did they speak to their service? How could the restaurant learn that something was wrong when patrons even have their leftovers boxed to take home? Then, as a dog owner, I want to take the writer and shake him or her really bad and say "You give over-salted food to your dog?
Anyone with a bit of brain understands this is a horrible idea... I hope you agree. So If I had a say on this portal, I would offer just to see the ratings of my friends. So I would see what the ratings were by like-minded people. Sadly, I have no say. I try not to compare apples with oranges. A place like this does not correspond to "The Ritz". At first, I assume that a restaurant is clean, they do not greet you with a gun - and they deliver whatever they promise. I do not give stars for things that are expected. In my rating scheme, three or more stars are awarded if they actually exceed my expectations. Four, if I am sure I will come back. To achieve five stars, I must be willing to take a detour of thirty minutes or more to go again - AND I CERTAINLY WILL GO BACK TO FOXY'S :-).
Thank you again for reading this.
