Born out of Carrie Baird and Michael Fox’s true love for classic American breakfast served with lighthearted twists and an equal passion of all things boozy-brunch-drinks, Fox & The Hen is your new LoHi all-day breakfast concept. Our focus is bringing friends and family together, incredibly delicious (and fun!) food, creative beverages and having everyone who leaves the Fox & the Hen feel their day is better than when they came in.We do not seat incomplete parties, sorry.

    The food at Key Kiddo is nothing short of exquisite—hands down, the kitchen knows what it’s doing. The textures and layering of the sauces were sophisticated, elevating each dish beyond the ordinary and making every bite memorable.The atmosphere? High-energy and fun, but prepare for a little noise (not the spot for an intimate tête-à-tête). Service was a mixed bag: our main server was excellent—on point, attentive, nailed the experience. Some of the other staff, though, seemed more interested in being seen than actually serving. A little less attitude, a little more attention would go a long way. One odd miss: no coffee, supposedly for “sustainability.” Yet, head downstairs to the hotel (same owners, I believe, I could be wrong) and it’s a wall of K-cups. If you’re going to plant a flag in the eco-conscious ground, at least be consistent. Drinks—here’s where Key Kiddo is trying hard but not quite nailing the landing. The bespoke bar wants to deliver a “wow” experience, but it’s clear half the bartenders are still learning the ropes. Two out of four drinks actually lived up to the hype. The rest? Almost there, but not quite. A little more training and some transparency on what’s actually in your “original creation” would help the bar match the food’s level without having to ask for an explanation. Overall, Key Kiddo is worth the trip for the food alone. If they tighten up the bar program and iron out the attitude, this place could be a standout.
