foxley

Foxley specializes in tapas-sized asian inspired dishes that are perfect for sharing. Although we were only a group of three, we managed to plough through quite a bit of the menu. Overall, we had more hits than misses and got to try a variety of different flavours.

* grilled Japanese pike mackerel w/ yuzu-ponzu sauce

This was similar to the grilled fish you can order at most Japanese or Korean food joints. The sauce cut through the rich meat nicely and added a bright hit of citrus.

* grilled beef heart w/ chili lime salsa

Our party of three loved this dish. The heart was tender and seasoned just right. The sauce was citrusy, spicy and really complimented the meat.

* grilled side ribs w/ caramelized shallot glaze

Though these ribs were nice and juicy, the glaze (which tasted of molasses, soy, onion and green curry) was a bit too overwhelming, rich and cloying for us.

* lamb and duck prosciutto dumplings

You really can't go wrong with crunchy, deep-fried packets of meat and it was nice to have a variation on the usual pork filled dumplings I get elsewhere.

* wild Nunavut arctic char ceviche w/ yuzu and shiso

Probably the favourite of the night, the combination of barely cooked fish with the citrus, shiso and apple was a match made in heaven.

* Moroccan spiced chicken wings w/ kaffir lime glaze

These were ok. The sauce was too similar to the sauce on the ribs.

* grilled calamari and shrimp on mango salad

I love mango salad and this one was good, just not anything special. I found the calamari to be slightly overcooked and under-seasoned.

* frog's legs sauteed w/ poblano and szechwan spices

We all found this kind of "meh". I found the frog's legs to be a bit tough and the smokey, heavily spiced sauce just wasn't doing it for me.

* blue crab and avocado salad

Clean and simple, this salad renewed my love for the avocado. The nuttiness of the sesame seeds are so necessary on this salad and not just for decoration.
