Recently, a quick stop “for one drink” turned into a few hours of cozy enjoyment at Fox and Pearl. The lights went out because of a thunderstorm - and it made it even better!
The interior is stunning - earthy but upscale. The large windows bring in enough light for a plethora of gorgeous plants. The owners have done amazing things to complement the building, originally constructed in 1907, and not hide its unique features.
“We wanted the place to have a sense of timelessness to suit the building and the neighborhood, to create a restaurant we hope will become a tradition,” [Co-Owner] Kristine says, adding Fox and Pearl takes the middle names of their two young daughters.
Fox and Pearl is all about local farmers and seasonal ingredients. Hemme Brothers Creamery and Green Dirt Farm are two of my personal favorites that they work with. They list the rest of their resources on their website!
During my most recent visit I enjoyed ~*Wine Wednesday*~ for a discounted bottle of Merlot. It was delicious. Like I said, we meant to only stay for once drink… but we messed that up a bit. Because of that we ordered mostly appetizers - the Potted Cheese with Ibis Bakery bread and the House Fries. The House Fries are possibly my TOP FAVORITE fries around Kansas City. They’re seasoned to perfection. There’s something sweet about them that makes them extra unique.
Though we skipped an entree this time around, we did not pass on dessert. The Pumpkin Cake with apples and toasted hazelnuts was exceptional.
Ending the night with fries and cake… it couldn’t get better.
