    The host was a snotty young man who barely acknowledged us. The guy who seated us didn’t say anything - nothing. We were not off to a good start. The fried chicken sandwich was over fried. The roasted pears were cold which was odd and the pumpkin seeds were missing. The salmon was a very small portion and was drowning in sauce. The burger was really good - cooked perfectly and delicious. Fries were over fried. Desserts were all good. Cheese platter was good and visually well presented. Our table was next to a table of eight very loud, fairly rude adult people. Our waitress was lovely - we over-tipped her purposely because she was so great. Not sure we’ll go back after spending close to $300

    I always love the ambience at The Foundry. And their Sangria is my absolute favorite in the world. Service was great as well. My mushroom risotto with seared scallops was very, very good. My dining companions, however, were underwhelmed by their food. The poutine was dry because there was barely any gravy on it. That would have been a simple fix. The Irish stew special was good as well, but the portion was very small. The prices for entrees is very high especially for Manchester NH. Fifty eight dollars for risotto with scallops?!? Ouch! To end on another positive note. The Guinness chocolate cake was really, really good. Super moist and rich. That should be a permanent dessert option. I’d get it every time.

    Ordered oysters, pear salad, flank steak, salmon, and scallops as well as dessert. All were excellent. Cocktails were also top-notch. I'm heading back ASAP.

    Really great food and drinks and the service was great. I had a pasta dish and didn't add any meat and it was $34. That is my only complaint....but it was delicious!

    The drinks were fantastic. The fresh pasta was delicious and cooked perfectly. I only wish the waitress had packed my food away for me.
