Foundation Kitchen and Bar

"I wanted to like this place, but I don't think I'll be going back. We did get seated relatively quickly, having made a reservation. But then we waited an hour for food. I looked around the room and not a single table had food for a while there. And then a table finally received food and I saw them send back a burger. Not instilling much confidence there. We ordered four small plates - so not even a full blown meal. The scallops and pork belly plates had the wrong combination of flavors - too strong and didn't seem to fit. The risotto was a rice ball, which I did not expect. It was fine, bland, but fine. The cauliflower small plate was the only thing that I enjoyed. It's DELICIOUS. Just get that if you go. I couldn't believe our bill total - drinks were overpriced and the food was too. We spent $91 before tip for two people and we walked away without leftovers. Disappointing."

"Five of us went for an early dinner on a Saturday night in December. I used to enjoy Halligan’s tavern very much, and I wanted to check out the new place. It’s a much different vibe, more of a modern American restaurant with is fine by me. The food and drinks were really good. I was drinking the blueberry pie cocktail all night, and for dessert I had probably the best espresso martini I’ve ever had. We ordered the pork belly lettuce wraps and the arrancini to share. Both delicious but small. My entree was a half chicken which had an amazing herbed spaetzle on the side. My only complaint is that the chicken needed some more seasoning, maybe some salt. There were no salt and pepper shakers on the table. We split an apple crisp and a carrot cake for dessert. Service was great, and the place really filled up at the end. I’d definitely go back."

"Pros: Unique mixed drinks. Highly recommend the winter mule! Tempura cauliflower was out of this world! Sweet potato gnocchi was unique Great selection of beers Servers were friendly and knowledgeable Cons: Dessert was limited Apples in apple crisp were very crunchy Street parking or small lot in the back Confusing entrance where it’s only at the side and not in the front Online menu was not 100% up to date on drinks or showing dessert. As someone visually impaired this can be a bit stressful."

"They have a huge bar area and really unique, inspired mixed drinks. The bartenders were super attentive and really friendly. We got the aranchini and fries that were amazing. Overall great first visit."

"Stopped in early evening before the dinner crowd and had a great time. Burrata appetizer and Bolognese pasta dish were both incredible. Service at the bar was great. Had the strawberry habanero margarita, right amount of spice and sweetness. Definitely coming back to try more dishes. Really glad I found this place!"
