Reviews for MAMA FOX in Brooklyn, NY
Pulled up for a Tuesday night dinner with my friend. I was not exactly impressed by this restaurant, but it was ok. I thought... the service was good and the staff seemed new and not very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. With that in mind I willbe fair. I ordered a patron margarita which was made nicely with good flavor. The salmon I ordered could have used a little morecook time because I like it medium. The sauce on the salmon was interesting but the most flavorful part of the dish. It was madewith some kind of mustard. The bed of vegetables it came on was a mystery and very oily. The ambiance is rustic, whimsical, andquiet. If you?re looking for a nice quiet atmosphere to enjoy a dinner with a friend or family with no reservations requiredthen I recommend you go here. Prices are affordable as well. Read more
Tried this place out for the first time and it?s now definitely one of my favorites in the neighborhood! The yucca croquettes... and the pesto pasta were extremely delicious, and the staff was also very friendly! Read more
Small touches would've made this experience a 10/10 First would be, adding more salt to the tamarind calamari and creating a... thicker more well rounded sauce Second would be, perfecting the desserts, the chocolate mousse resembled more of apudding/icecream texture, the flavor was suuuper cacao-y which is a YES but it's not giving light whipped moussey texture. Theapple pie was not ooo gooey soft apples and lacked a proper crust...not much of a flaky or sugary sweet taste. Please stop withcrunchy apples.... Other than that, ambiance is great, drinks are amazing and entrees were beautiful done. Didn't lack in theflavor department. Just note that the chicken pillard wasss stacked with arugula :) Beautiful atmosphere, would definitely comeback to try more. Read more
Enjoyed our dinner here. Had chicken liver mousse and salmon over the kale salad. Good cocktail menu.
Stopped by for a weekend brunch. Shrimp and grits was ok, appreciated that the shrimp was tender and perfectly cooked, however... was not the freshest, had a slightly fishy smell/taste with the grits on the blander side. Cardamom pancakes were good but muchlarger than expected, comes with 2 pancakes that are very thick, had to take most of it home. Avocado toast was basic. Wishedthat the Elderflower spritz had more of an elderflower taste. Bar and interior is cute, bathrooms are clean. Service was good. Read more
Yummy food, super cool service. They handled a situation with our biscuits very well even though it kept happening lol, but I... will def go back for yummy brunch. Suggestion: size up the OJ please ???? Read more
Local favorite. Small menu but every dish is made very well. The tamarind calamari never fails. Salmon steak is juicy and... perfectly grilled. Duck confit pasta is indulgent. Cocktails are a bit hit or miss but the food gets 5 stars from me. They alsohave a daily homemade pie special with ice cream. Drool. Save your appetite or go just for the pie. Read more
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! Great spot to catch up with friends and fam or to go for a date. So cute. I?m 10000% coming back I just... won?t be getting the chicken (that?s why I?m giving 4 stars + service was kinda slow) Ambiance: ugh such a vibe inside andoutside I can?t wait to go back!! Music, lighting, string lights outside. Everything is so cute and classy. Okay so food: corntempura - crunchy, juicy (it?s got the juice! Shout out corn kid), and comes with a yummy dipping sauce. I highlyrecommend. Flat bread - YES!!!!!! It?s a great appetizer if you like sweet and savory because the caramelized onion dip on theside is what brings the sweet and it?s GOOD. Burrata - Not a must have but we just wanted more food lol. Does not come withenough bread. But the roasted peppers underneath the burrata is really where it?s at. Pasta Pomodoro - DO IT!!!! I want thisagain immediately. Such a good balance of sauce and pasta. Grilled half chicken - if you love yourself even a little please donot get this. Omg this was awful and it smelled weird too. Literally as the waiter approached and before he put the plate down Ijust knew this was gonna be gross. Cocktail recommendations: Lavender Mule and Here Comes The Treble. Read more
