Where Land Meets Sea From sweeping views to a menu that straddles surf and turf with grace, e Feathered Fox delivers balance. While rooted in its identity as a steakhouse—with expertly charred cuts and satisfying classics—Siversen's broader culinary lens brings seasonal vibrancy and global influences to the forefront. e raw bar is an immediate draw, brimming with pristine Gulf White Shrimp, briny oysters, Hamachi Crudo, and towering seafood platters that beg for a chilled martini. e sushi program, with daily selections of fish flown in from Japan, adds an unexpected but welcome dimension to the experience. Highlights like the Truffle Scallop Roll or the show-stopping Foxy Roll—topped with seared Miyazaki Wagyu—blur the lines between luxury and indulgence. Cocktails With Personality Like the restaurant itself, e Feathered Fox's bar offerings walk a beautiful line between timeless and irreverent. Head Bartender Erin Green's creations are visually stunning and thoughtfully balanced. e Filthy Bleu Martini, garnished with blue cheese-stuffed olives, is a classic steakhouse staple made just cheeky enough. e Feathered Fox Manhattan, served with a sultry cherry and elevated presentation, is a smoky nod to the city skyline beyond the glass. For something lighter, the Yellow Bee with tequila and chartreuse or the Never Settle with orange blossom and Ketel One offer a floral counterpoint. But it's the Fox & Vixen—a milk punch spiked with spiced peach and tea—that truly captures the restaurant's playful soul. ese aren't just drinks—they're experiences, each one craed to match the tempo of the night. e wine list, overseen by VP of Operations and Beverage Director Jette Starniri, is equally transportive. Global yet grounded, her selections favor expressive terroirs and exceptional producers: a bright Sancerre from the Loire, an earthy Tempranillo from Rioja, or a bold Mountain Cuvée from Chappellet. Whether by the glass or bottle, every sip tells a story. VUENJ.COM 45
