Fox Hill Restaurant & Gardens — Restaurant in Wichita Falls

Allow me to start by saying, the food was incredible. The menu was a little strange, as many of the appetizers didn’t really complement the entrees. Which made it difficult to order. But overall, the food was very well done. The duck was cooked to perfection, the gravy with the grits was also quite good. It’s too bad the service & atmosphere were so lackluster, because I would’ve really enjoyed trying the rest of the menu. However, I couldn’t get out of this restaurant quickly enough. Which brings me to the atmosphere. I’m just not sure what this place was going for in terms of “vibes”. It had so much potential to be a cute, cozy, elevated experience. But the lighting was abrasive and the table spread felt like a catered corporate event. There was no music playing in the room we were seated in, which meant all the surrounding tables were chatting at whispers because we could hear everything every other table was discussing. So much for an intimate date night! We were also seated right by the kitchen door. All of this turned what we were anticipating to be a “fine dining experience” into an extremely casual sh*t talking fest. It was just, awkward. It felt like we were at Thanksgiving with our extended family, except the side of the family you don’t really know or care to know, and everyone is seated at the kids table. Now for the service. My partner and I were visiting from out of town, and had heard all about this place. So we were excited to try the majority of the menu. We are ‘shared plates’ people, ordering a dish at a time as we go. Sharing everything. We also don’t drink. Considering there were no non-alcoholic options on this menu, we stuck with water. We’d already lost our server’s interest in us here. But upon us ordering a salad to share at start, she seemed to have come to the conclusion that we weren’t going to be making her any money this evening, at least that’s what her service (or lack thereof) implied. We’d overheard her describing the special for the evening to another table and we were intrigued by all the adjectives she used! But when we inquired about it, we got “It’s salmon”. It was at this point we decided we would rather fill our bellies at wing stop and hit the road if it meant we could get out of there quicker. Nothing kills an evening more than bad service, bad lighting, and feeling like you’re touching shoulders with (somehow both) the kitchen AND every other guest in the place. Just all around weird. But once again, compliments to the kitchen. I cannot emphasize enough how good the food we did have was. And it’s such a shame everything else prevented us from caring to try the rest! What a sad waste of potential for something that could so easily be an...

My husband and I were looking forward to an Anniversary dinner at Fox Hill. We made an online reservation and my husband requested a nice table. We were quite disappointed when they sat us at a table next to the kitchen door where you could hear everything going on and staff coming and going. I guess they didn't read the reservation request. We asked if we could have different table and they gave us 2 other options, which was much better. The waiter was pleasant but was rushed, and it just felt weird, which didn't give a relaxed feeling to the restaurant The appetizer, Hummus and Tzatziti was boring and bland, the menu made it sound much better than it was. My steak was cooked perfect just as I requested. Potatoes were very good, asparagus cooked perfect. My husbands quail was very good, the gravy was fantastic, and the rice was also very good. Just not enough food on his plate as he left so hungry. The Campfire dessert was a joke. It sounded amazing, and the presentation was cool, but it was way overpriced for two scoops of ice cream with chocolate (fake) drizzled over the top. Online the place looks amazing and the menu sounds wonderful but it's just not the...

This restaurant is a delight! Located in an old house, it is a lovely, comfortable, intimate dining experience. We went on a Tuesday evening at 6:15. I went ahead and made reservations to be on the safe side but I think we could have easily walked in and gone right to a table. We had the Bacon wrapped dates for an appetizer. They were AMAZING! My husband had the grass fed Tenderloin and I had the smoked quail. Both dishes were EXCELLENT and beautifully plated. I also had a glass of the house Chardonnay which was crisp and very tasty. My husband had a dark beer (I can't remember which!) that was also delicious. For dessert, my husband ordered the Smoked Bacon Bourbon Cookie Dough ice cream. Oh. My. God. You would not think that combination would taste as good as it does with that name but it is scrumptious! I had the Creme Brulee. The custard had a perfect consistency and it was not heavily sugared on the top. The fresh strawberries tasted just like summer. The ambiance of the restaurant is low key, slightly elegant yet still cozy with lovely lighting and low music. We had a fabulous dinner and time at Fox Hill and look forward to...
