This was a nice and quiet restaurant located at Fox Hill Resort. I've always known this was near me, but never been. We decided to do an impromptu lunch for my friend's birthday. The place was very quiet and relaxing. There actually wasn't anyone in when we arrived, but we were cool with that. The bartender/waitress was very nice and patient with us. To our surprise l, they only serve brunch during the time we went on Saturday so we had to adjust our plans as far as what we ordered. The food was actually very good. I got the lamb lollipops and hash browns. It was suppose to be crispy potatoes, but they were out. I did have to send my lamb back as I asked for medium and it was well done and the chef was able to fix it to my liking. It was nice and tender just like I like. The property itself is beautiful so definitely if you're looking for a nice spot to eat, relax, or have a staycation, try the Pheasant Blue.
First time ever having Thanksgiving dinner outside of our home. I think we may have started a new tradition based off our experience at Fox Hall. The food was absolutely delicious and the service impeccable. The resort itself is gorgeous and made the perfect backdrop for our family Thanksgiving! We will be going back to the Blue Pheasant restaurant for many more meals. Thank you.

The pictures on the website of the food made us truly want to eat at the Pheasant Blue. From the pictures show and what we received was different. We ate brunch on Saturday morning at about 8:15. Being served and the food options was somewhat lacking. I will load a picture of the brunch menu and was very surprised at the few items they had to offer and for it to be called a brunch. We had the egg whites, turkey bacon, avocados, and something else that slips my mine. The food took about 20 minutes and was so so like the service. I would recommend to them a better offering. We then said maybe they were off with the brunch and breakfast we wanted.. well we arrived at our reservation time and there appeared to be no one working. So we picked the limited menu up again and sat ourselves. We waited about 10 to 15 minutes and someone finally showed up. Again the menu was limited and we stayed safe and order the Cobb salad and it was very good. Just not we thought we would be eating... also note that a 20% gratuity is added automatically to the bill. And it was not worth that. Just note so you don't over tip. The restaurant and the decor were a bit lacking from what we expected. Overall not impressed with the service or the food and food choices!

Appetizers: we liked the meatballs (could use one more slice of bread for four meat balls), the spinach artichoke dip and olive tapenade (in that order).Solid choices are the steak (NY Strip) is decent (two of the three we got was under cooked for medium rare... while the other was just right... maybe use a thermometer?). Shrimp tacos are tasty but don't expect jumbo shrimp... I'd still order it. Salmon is not farmed and a solid choice as well.Apparently at lunch the chicken pot pie is the impressive bit maybe one in our group had an outlier of the batch (one was sour) but expect it to be "soupy".On another visit the lamb chops were really good. We had the duck breast and the pork chops. Both were the best entrées we had during our stay.Good food with great service. We were here as a group of nine. The place is part of the Foxhall Resort and has a clean, southern slightly upscale, with southern hospitality. If you're staying at the resort you likely have a kitchenette at the minimum so you have options per se however this restaurants is a solid option if you don't want to drive into town. We had all our lunch and dinner meals here, we didn't mind, and we will be back.

We stayed here over the Labor Day weekend in a 2-bedroom lake view villa. Pros: The scenery is beautiful. The place was not crowded at all. The villa was super clean. We appreciated having a stove, as some villas don't have one (make sure to call and ask if you plan to cook). We did some fishing in Lunker Lake, which is literally in the backyard - caught 19 fish (catch & release) and saw many turtles. The website doesn't say it, but the villas are two stories. The villas look more like townhomes. You could hear people walking up and down the stairs next door, but we didn't hear anyone talking. The second floor has a thermostat, which we REALLY appreciated since it was so hot and humid outside. Internet and TV worked without issues. Since the resort is close to the airport, you do hear/see airplanes fly over frequently when you are outside, but you can't hear them when you are indoors though. The appliances and fixtures are modern as is the decor. Cons: - Bathrooms are super small - Wished that the bedrooms had a king-size bed, at least one of them. - We wanted to use the oven in the kitchen but there were no baking sheets to be found - Some of the pots/pans in the kitchen were very dirty - In our villa (#105) there was no hot water in the kitchen, we didn't call maintenance because were only there for two days. At one point the downstairs bathroom didn't have hot water either. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!!!

Really wanted to give Foxhall a 5 rating. However, negotiating the contract was a complete & utter disaster. Once on property, it was amazing! There was nothing that the staff did not do to make our stay absolutely memorable and amazing. Brad, Lori, Amanda & Nikki at the front desk could not have been more accommodating! The servicers were also great and the banquet manager, I believe his name was Kevin. The GM, Heather, is also very good at what she does! A big shout out to the special people at Foxhall that made our reunion the best we have ever had! I highly recommend the property, it is breathtaking!
We just hosted a corporate event at Foxhall for myself and 24 other associates. I was the on-site contact for my company, there to ensure that everything was perfect. It was! Let's start with the meeting space and meals. The Ballroom and Overlook room were perfect for our all day meetings. Comfortable, clean and the views were amazing. Beth and the catering team were always on the ball, making sure that everyone had exactly what they needed at all times. She and the others did a phenomenal job! The guest rooms were beautiful. Also very clean, spacious and homey. Peaceful and serene, which is just what you hope for in a location like this. The on-site experiences were all so much fun. Our group did kayaking, fishing, shooting and ATV/UTV rides. While the shooting was a blast (pun intended), I can't say enough about the UTV's. I haven't smiled and laughed so hard in a very long time. The guide was really nice and kept a good pace. Highly recommended! Lastly, I can't thank Brad West, the Conference Services Manager, enough for the fabulous job that he did ensuring that everything was smooth and seamless, from the time we arrived until well after we departed. He messaged me several times throughout the day to ask if I needed anything for the group and to make sure that we were being well taken care of. Even on his day off, he still checked in. That to me was priceless at a time when I needed to make sure that our staff was well taken care of while on this Leadership Retreat. I look forward to working with Brad again in the future. I can't recommend Foxhall enough for any occasion, be it a corporate event or just a family vacation.

Beautiful location, but lacking proper staffing and training of current staff. Not worth the high price tag. Attention to detail and guest experience needs massive improvement. There were a few staff members who put in the effort, but clearly, not enough of them. I would give this hotel a second opportunity to make things right, but only if contacted by their management. Let’s see if they care enough to make things right.

Stayed there and was astonished at the ambience and the staff. Very well put together in a venue that you can use repeatedly. That’s until I tried to book my son‘s graduation celebration with Ms. Amanda McElrath. If you want to have an event there do not use her as your advisor. Several email exchanges where I had to even call repeatedly to see if she was there. I believe there were other factors as to why she was not willing to work with me. I explained that I was active army and have other who are also looking for a location to have their retirement and promotion celebrations. This location lost money due to one persons lack of competence. I just hope that race was not a factor in her decision not to get back in touch with me repeatedly! However, I believe so. Shocking even as I server!

We can not say enough about Foxhall Resort. My husband and I stayed there 10 years ago before all of the new amenities and loved it. We knew we wanted to return with our children and grandchildren. We did it! All 21 of us just had a marvelous time and can't wait to return next summer. Amanda and Brad helped us with all of the planning and we can't thank them enough for their speedy responses to our questions. We were so happy to finally meet them and thank them for all of their pre-planning help. Chef Marco created meals every night for all of us and they were outstanding. We are not sure whether we liked his Italian night, Fiesta extravaganza or the All American buffet the best. Lori, Trinity and Nikki were the smiling faces at the front desk, Brian was an awesome ATV guide. The 4 Villas we rented for the week were spotless. We swam, made s'mores at the fire pit, fished, hiked, swam in the lakes, paddle-board, kayaked and canoed. The pool is gorgeous and believe me we spent a lot of time in there too. We are now FOXHALLERS and plan to return every year to this magical place for a family. Over the top recommended by our family from Ohio and Arizona!

Great service, limited menu hasn’t been updated in awhile. Still struggling to get back to normal business. They used to have a brunch menu. Hopefully it changes..
