    The Foundry is a favorite, especially for the food and drinks, and service. Our server, Cathy, is always friendly and professional, checking in frequently, but not annoyingly. My only comment is that the decor is crying out for an update, particularly the waiting area. It is dark and gloomy and the historic photographs, at one time interesting, are now faded and need to be replaced. Other than that, we always enjoy the Foundry.

    We had the carbonara and the brick chicken. Both meals were outstanding. Also the coffee ice cream was delicious. The server was super nice.

    We have enjoyed brunch here in the past, however this visit wasn't as good. I love the idea of placing the omelet order and having it brought to you, however I waited around 25 minutes for my omelet and when I went back to check there were several omelets sitting there getting cold while the Wait staff was standing around in the dining room talking to each other. It took about the same amount of time for the oysters to be refilled. As a side note, there was a super nice and professional kitchen guy restocking things and I stopped to let him Go by, and he insisted that I go first because guests should always go first. He is the only one who seems to think that because the rest of the staff will cut you off without saying anything. This happens each time we are there, so it is nothing new. That being said, we will still miss your brunch and think it will hurt business.

    My husband and I LOVED The Foundry! From when we stepped through the doors until we left it was just an impeccable experience. The drinks and food were amazing. Our server went above and beyond. And my favorite part? Seeing how clean and honest it is! From wiping down menus between customers to having a tv showing the kitchen in the lobby. I can’t wait to go back!
