The Red Fox Steakhouse and Piano Bar is a quaint restaurant and bar in the University Heights section of San Diego. It is full of charm and atmosphere. According to the restaurant’s web site, the building was originally The Red Fox Room, an inn in Surrey, England during the mid 1500s. The building was brought to the United States in 1926.

First time in the new location. They still kept it dark inside. Only one sever for the whole place at lunch. Food was good I ordered the Pork Chop plate and did not disappoint. It was very good. They only half a piece of bread which is delicious but definitely a teaser.

I finally tried Red Fox Steakhouse. I went last night for my birthday. We live right behind it, so I thought it was the perfect option. It’s nice and dim inside. Your eyes adjust. The server was awesome, I didn’t catch her name, though. The garlic bread and ceaser salad we started with was very tasty. I ordered steak and lobster. I got the sirloin, but you can opt for a different cut for an added charge, I believe. The steak was good, but I especially loved the lobster tail. I think I’ll choose something other than the rice pilaf next time. But that lobster!! Good size, lots of tender meat. It’s really well seasoned. My husband had the hamburger and fries. Hamburger was good. We loved the fries. My husband also had an Old Fashioned from the bar that he claims to be one of the better ones he has tasted. The live band sang me a song and I got a free Happy Birthday cupcake. All together we had a great time and will definitely be returning.

We live in the area and finally made it to Red Fox Room. I got the steak and lobster and my husband got Atlantic Cod and lobster. We both enjoyed our meal, drinks and the service was awesome. You can’t beat the prices either. We will be back.

Wow! My only regret is not getting photos! The first thing we noticed was the ambient lighting and furnishings which include beautifully carved ornate wood decor, rich wood paneling and super sleek and impeccably clean upholstered booths and chairs with gorgeous original artworks and sparkling clean, modern restrooms. We ordered martinis (the lavender is perfection) which were served promptly, quite excellent and at a reasonable price of $10 and $12 each. We had salads with our meals which were also excellent thanks to the upgraded mixed greens with romaine plus homemade dressings which are to die for! We had the fish and chips which are fresh cod, hand battered, fried up super clean and served on a bed of cabbage so they were not greasy at all and the burger which is a hand ground combo of three quality steak meats and cooked exactly how I ordered it (medium rare). I forgot to order a side of mayo but quickly figured out this burger needs no condiments PERIOD. It’s hand down the BEST BURGER I’ve ever had! The menu is small but mighty and the service was so excellent that it left us no choice but to leave a huge tip! They’re doing everything right here and it’s no wonder they have over 65 years in business. Totally impressed!

Everything about The Red Fox was wonderful! The outside is quite unassuming, but inside, this place is warm and cozy and a great place on a cold night. The food and service were first class. We were celebrating a birthday and Danee, our server, made the whole experience very special. The calamari appetizer was one of the best calamari dishes I’ve ever had – and I’ve been a big calamari lover my entire life. We both ordered the steak and lobster tail and were not disappointed. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful steak house, delicious food and great friendly service. I personally order steak and jumbo shrimp and was pleasantly surprised. It was done to perfection and the blue cheese salad dressing was extremely delicious. They also served garlic bread and before our meal had garnish available. I would highly recommend!!

On a busy Friday night the service was professional, accurate, and cheerful, but slow. The food was very good. The atmosphere, from a visual perspective, was very good too. But the noise level was too high. The only way to have a conversation there would be to shout, and that would kill the cool vibe of the dark steakhouse aesthetic. They did have live music, a piano and trumpet, playing lounge jazz at a moderate volume, so that helped set the mood. If they could bring down the ambient noise levels, it would make going there significantly more enjoyable.

Now this place was nice, real nice suttle atmosphere where the lights are slightly dimmed. But bright enough to see what your eating and your date. Food, service, and atmosphere were on point. Very nice waitress that served us, wish I could have remembered her name, to give her a big THANK YOU for her awesome customer service skills. Keep up the great work there. 5☆’s for sure.
