    Hello, I am happy to share how terrific our visit was to the Foundry today. Let me start by saying that we enjoy dining at the Foundry about twice a month since they opened. We are not residents at the property, yet always feel right at home while dining. I had ordered the Millionaire turkey burger with a GF bun. I have ordered this exact meal several times in the past and been very pleased. However, today it was sub par. Our server, Christine, checked on our meal shortly after it was delivered to the table. She inquired how the food was and I hesitated to reply. I replied that it was not the high quality that it normally was. Nonetheless, Christine was was quick to offer to make it right. In fact, she suggested an alternate to the turkey burger by asking if I was interested in the black bean burger. I chose to try the black bean burger and it was excellent. A couple things, I appreciated the offer to try an alternate burger and that she wanted to make sure that I had a meal that I would enjoy. I never ever send a meal back to the kitchen, and I mean never. The black bean burger was excellent, the GF bun was very good(tender & didn’t fall apart) in the first couple bites. Overall, another great meal at The Foundry. Christine was not only pleasant but her service was exceptional, well done. Bottom line, The Foundry gets it right every single time! Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the incredibly warm reception by Serenity. She is such a perfectly kind soul who receives guests with a kind smile. Well done Foundry, well done.

    Our server was Candi and she was very attentive! We ordered the fish and chips and steak frites. They came with Parmesan fries which were good. But way too much! The fish and chips consisted of three pieces of fried fish served on top of a boatload of fries. Overwhelming amount of fries. Same with the steak frites dinner. Please. Save your potatoes. If you want to fill the plate, maybe consider a small green salad on the side.
