Super chic spot! We had lunch here on a Saturday and it was fairly busy with birthdays. We had a group of six and it was very nice to gather at a gorgeous restaurant. The drinks were great and the food was pretty tasty. I had the salmon poke which wa

Cool venue to celebrate a special occasion.
The theme is toward Mediterranean food; yet there's a good variety - for instance, I got a poke bowl! Can get dinners ranging from $15 all the way up to $60 with a good mix in-between. Creative cocktails. Good views of the lake, especially if
Ambiance is wonderful, the view, style, lighting and music
Ambiance is wonderful, the view, style, lighting and music of the room are awesome but the food portions are all over and usually on the smaller side. The taste is great and service falls a bit short but definitely 4/5
Spectacular interior, great location, great food & service

A unique venue because of it being a former church on an idyllic lakeside setting. Wait staff was superb! Eclectic menu offers varying dining experiences. First time dining here because it is a bit of a distance from home, but we now will make a sp
The spiffiest looking restaurant in town
The Foxtail on the Lake reminds me more of the interior of a Cathedral than a restaurant. But if most restaurants look like boardrooms or sports bars or open kitchens, what you get at the Foxtail on the Lake is very refreshing. The food, too. Located

Nice ambiance and good service, it's directly on the lake and the food and drinks were pretty tasty. I was visiting from out of town and I liked that it was unique.

We went for our 47th wedding anniversary, so you can guess our age group. I would warn diners in advance that it's a techno-pop vibe with lots of hard surfaces and a DJ that make it loud and raucous. The food wasn't bad very good, and the s

I stopped at The Foxtail on the Lake during a quick 36-hour work road trip to Chicago -- and wow, what a find. The restaurant is inside a beautifully converted church, and the space is stunning: vaulted ceilings, warm wood beams, glowing orb lights,

So I have heard and seen pics of this place.
They do not do it justice. (As probably mine won't) Such a cool vibe! The menu is funky/eclectic. The shawarma rolls were great. The cocktails can't be beat. Sofia is an amazing bartender. So much fun and makes a great cocktail. Love l

Not good--had branzino asked if garlicky Resounding NO guess what? Chock full and now I'm suffering- tiny portions-- it great quality won't be back
A little all over the place on the decor and menu fronts,
A little all over the place on the decor and menu fronts, almost as if Foxtail is having an identity crisis, but not in a totally bad, cringey way. It's like a hip, eclectic, and diverse vibes. This remodeled church still has the stained glass
The place is so neat.
Awesome vibe. The food is good and the drinks are great. The service was great. Nice people!Check out the speakeasy too.

**3.5 stars** Foxtail on the Lake is a great location to spend special occasions. The interior is beautiful and the patio is even better. I booked a reservation weeks in advance and the only times available for dinner were either early or late. We

I was waiting to pick up a visitor from O'Hare and decided to check out the park. It was a lovely Friday evening with perfect summer temperatures and cicadas singing. The patio of the Foxtail on the Lake looked particularly inviting, so I decide
We came here for our 4 year anniversary on a Sunday at 7:30.
Food was very impressive. Our server Sophia was SO AMAZING! She was extremely attentive and omnipresent. She even suggested a great wine to pair with my dinner when I was unsure what to order and answered all questions we had with ease. The atmosphe

Great food, great atmosphere.
Friendly staff. Highly recommend the crab legs. Plenty of parking in the lot or street.
The good was the food, everything was spot on but the bad
The good was the food, everything was spot on but the bad was drinks were overpriced (Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned 19 bucks) and we had a birthday at our table and they said pick a dessert and they charged us for it (Chocolate Mousse and Sorbet $22).
Disappointed.
Have eaten here twice for lunch. Both times both service and food were good. Wanted to bring my family for a birthday celebration and was very disappointed. Both duck and chicken dishes tough instead of tender. Risotto was soggy. All of us left food
We tried Foxtail last night for a birthday celebration.
It was wonderful- from the cocktails and creative mocktails to dessert there was not one thing we didn't love. We had the burrata appetizer with fig jam to start and the beet salad. Both were generous servings enough to share. I had the tagine-

My family and I were invited to a work anniversary party here and assumed the menu would be bar food but we were pleasantly surprised. The cuisine is Mediterranean and was delish! Our only complaint was that the wait service was slow, I suspect they&

Everyone enjoyed Sunday brunch - 4 adults and 4 children ages 1-7. Wonderful omelets, flatbreads, and cappuccino. Creative menu. All foods served together nice and hot. Such friendly and well trained staff kept water glasses full and very accommo

I ordered the mac and cheese with an iced tea and it was so good. Honestly felt a little wrong getting mac and cheese as a grown ass adult, but no regrets--it totally hit the spot... place was a little loud though.
Really Nice Time on a Suburban Lake:
We were invited to a celebration at the lake—my mom, my son, and I—and it was our very first time there. The Mediterranean cuisine was absolutely delicious! We sat on the outdoor deck, which was simply breathtaking. On this particular evening, t
Food allergies are respected!
Can't say enough good things about Foxtail. I'm Celiac (and FPIES w/shellfish allergy) and have eaten here multiple times. Each time the staff has been kind, professional and EXTREMELY attentive to my food allergies. And the food is delicio
Not Recommend, not a good dining experience.
Came in on a Sunday for brunch, was seated in the Patio by the order entry/payment processing station. I have a sulfite allergy and waiter was very accommodating and answered all my questions. Unfortunately, once we received our food, my cappuccino w
Delightful Mediterranean restaurant in a converted church
My wife and I came here for an early supper on a Wednesday evening. The place was hopping already despite the early hour and its being mid-week. We started with the chicken shawarma rolls which were fabulous. My wife then had the beet salad, which

So disappointed…. For me this place look like regular bar…. The same menu… nothing special… I don’t understand why people so excited about this place…. In my opinion…. I am not recommended

We fell across this lovely converted church restaurant overlooking the lake. The menu was very varied and although it was a busy Sunday lunchtime, the staff were very attentive. The food was delicious and nicely presented. Definite recommendation if

We discovered this former Lutheran church on the way to drop someone off at the airport. The setting is stunning and the service and food were excellent. We had a pork chop, roasted broccoli, scallops, octopus, chicken shawarma rolls (which is the on

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Foxtail On The Lake Des Plaines at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Foxtail On The Lake Des Plaines page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at The Foxtail On The Lake Des Plaines to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Foxtail On The Lake Des Plaines!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
