The Foxtail Restaurant Now Open In Downers Grove

DOWNERS GROVE, IL — The Foxtail restaurant is officially open for business. The newest restaurant from the crew behind Cadence Kitchen & Co. opened its doors in early March at 5237 Main St., bringing craft cocktails, raw oysters, fresh seafood and other eats to Downers Grove.

The Foxtail's extensive dinner menu draws inspiration from Middle Eastern cuisine and offers dishes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Diners can start with the zaatar-dusted flatbread and follow that with a sage-spiced lamb shank agnolotti or Moroccan tagine or choose seared tuna tataki or coastal oysters from The Foxtail's raw menu.

If dinner wasn't a tough enough choice, The Foxtail offers a long list of beer, wine and craft cocktails for diners to sate their palates. The "Ghosted" combines du Peyrat cognac, Cardamaro, apricot and prosecco and the "Besos" mixes Cimarron Reposado tequila and sweet white vermouth with Firebird bitters, peach and orange.

Guests can also enjoy "brunch 'til dinner" from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. This menu features harissa-seasoned spicy eggplant, smoked salmon benedict, Nutella waffles and cheese-stuffed pancakes.

There's an added bonus if you stop in on a select Saturday afternoon: The Foxtail features live DJ music. That's not the only time you can catch live music at The Foxtail, which also hosts musical events. The next one is Mirabelle Skipworth, who will be performing on March 15 at 11 a.m.
