The Fox & Ford brand draws its inspiration from the travels of Pere Jacques Marquette—the hotel's namesake. Together with Louis Joliet, Marquette traveled the Fox River and studied cultures from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Ford means to cross a river, so while the name signals the property's history, it also represents a new era for the Pere Marquette as we forge ahead toward a vibrant future.

    Good food, no other patrons were present so we were the sole patrons. Great service. Fried deviled eggs were very good but needed a little salt. Pork chops were excellent and salmon was good.

    We had a Large family party celebrating a major event and the restaurant handled it beautifully. Very accommodating, prompt and kept our drinks full, the courses quickly arriving in succession just as we were done with one, they cleared plates and the next course arrived! The food was excellent, service excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant and this specific location. Well done!!
