Mama Fox - Brooklyn

I recently visited this restaurant for the first time and it has quickly become one of my favorites in the area! The yucca croquettes and pesto pasta were delicious, and the staff was exceptionally friendly.

I really want to love this neighborhood restaurant. It has so much potential. I decided to visit with my dog, and I was pleased to see that they allow dogs in the outdoor seating area, which I thought was a great idea. I ordered the FoxyBrown drink, which was the highlight of my visit and something I would come back for. I also tried the Brussel sprouts and Yucca appetizer, both of which had potential but lacked flavor - they really needed some salt. After reading other reviews, it seems to be a common theme. With a little more seasoning, the food could be much better. I would give this place another try because it could potentially become my go-to spot. The staff were very charming and welcoming.

I went to brunch with my wife and daughter. I ordered the shrimp and grits, my wife had the cardamom pancakes, and my daughter had eggs benedict. Everything was delicious! My daughter and I shared our dishes, and my wife didn't finish hers, so we helped her out. The service was excellent, very attentive. I thought the prices were average for NYC. I am excited to come back for dinner.

Mama fox was pretty good! the server were extremely attentive and friendly when I arrived for Sunday brunch. I had the French toast with a side of sunny ice cream, all of which were delicious. I think my only quality is that there were apples on the French toast that I found a little strange instead of berries (and not so good, though not bad). I also wanted to note that there is a $20 minimum for cards, and they can not charge or anything if they are under $20, so if they are planning to stop only for coffee or drinks, which is a good thing to be aware!

Small touches would've made this experience a 10/10First would be, adding more salt to the tamarind calamari and creating a thicker more well rounded sauceSecond would be, perfecting the desserts, the chocolate mousse resembled more of a pudding/icecream texture, the flavor was suuuper cacao-y which is a YES but it's not giving light whipped moussey texture. The apple pie was not ooo gooey soft apples and lacked a proper crust...not much of a flaky or sugary sweet taste. Please stop with crunchy apples....Other than that, ambiance is great, drinks are amazing and entrees were beautiful done. Didn't lack in the flavor department. Just note that the chicken pillard wasss stacked with arugula :)Beautiful atmosphere, would definitely come back to try more.
