    Perfect service from the valet, to the host and then our server, Janice. We enjoyed the honey glazed salmon as well as the chicken piccata. Such a nice menu, welcoming dining room and attentive service, including that of the two owners who regularly check on their guests. Go to Foxy's for the VIP experience. Good people. A real gem in Rancho Mirage.

    The waiter was very enthusiastic and the food was amazing per usual. We were disappointed that our table was not ready when we arrived when I think I made the reservation weeks ago. I did have a dog, but they didn’t seem to mind. There were plenty of tables outside and we ended up in the corner. A couple after us got a better table right in front of ours.
