"Looking for a higher quality meal on Friday night and having heard good things we decided to reserve a table at Foxlow. We were surprised that we had no trouble even though booking only about an hour before we wanted to go. It became apparent why once we arrived to a completely empty restaurant with a few people having drinks outside. A few more tables did appear before we left but this place was very empty for a busy Friday night in Stoke Newington when all the other restaurants are buzzing this should give you a clue about what to expect.To give credit for the only thing that was not dire at this place was a couple of the staff and their attitude which was excellent: friendly, professional and very welcoming. Unfortunately our main waitress was unfriendly and we got the feeling was looking down on us for everything we ordered. The wine list while extensive really needs to offer a larger number of lower priced options. Suffice it to say we didn't feel we had value for money on the mediocre wine we had for £29 which was the 6th cheapest on a menu of over 30 reds!The food was the biggest let down. The starter we shared of burrata with heritage tomatoes and avocado was pathetic. A single thin slice of the burrata on the plate with two tiny orange cherry tomatoes cut in half and one regular tomato slice and some pureed green stuff that might once have been something like avocado. It was tiny for £7.50 and a long way from the quality we were expecting. The mains were delivered the moment we finished the starter but despite that were both cold. The fried chicken sandwich being cold was far too soft to give confidence that it had been cooked properly. But far worse was the ribeye steak which was small and thin, insipid and grey and wholly unappetising. As we were both hungry we ate what we could but were disgusted that for the price the quality could be so bad. The restaurant claims to use produce from the Ginger Pig but either this claim is untrue or they are treating it incredibly badly. All we could assume is that our main order was cooked at the same time as the starter was delivered and sat under a less than warm heat lamp but even hot the quality was far lower than the price requires and led us not to bother sending it back.Given the empty state of the place the locals have obviously figured out that you need to avoid this place and this was obvious as we saw every other restaurant full. The makings of a good place are there with a nice venue and some well trained staff but with such appalling cooking and lack of quantity and quality with respect to the prices this is a place I would strongly advise people to pass!"
