Walked into this restaurant with some pretty high expectations...they were all surpassed.

Chef Eric Greenspan is absolutely amazing, actually SAT my wife and I! (that doesn't happen...um...ever??)

John, our waiter, was SUPERB. Unreal service, gave us great suggestions for the menu, checked on us about 4 dozen times, Eric came over twice to check on us as well...and they even brought my wife a dessert with a candle in it for her birthday!!

Actually, I had the Braised Short Rib/Hangar Steak on top of a spinach/blue cheese salad, both on top of browned butter mashed potatoes...holy mother of tasty food, I mean every bite was amazing.

My wife had the jidori chicken which was SO unbelieveably juicy on the inside, yet had a great crunchy texture to the crust. It was LITERALLY "perfect." She only eats chicken, other than that she is a vegetarian, and they offered to work with her and make several of the veggie sides that come with meals into entree portions for her, so they are very accomodating.

Also, try the celery root soup with hamachi sashimi and blod oranges. I don't even LIKE celery, but for some reason I had to try this. Boy, it was fantastic!! Thanks John for the recommendation!! If you're reading this, I KNOW you remember us :)

At our next big occasion, I know we'll consider the Foundry again and again and again.

The ONLY thing, is the menu is pretty limited for those who like a ton of things to choose from. I think only 5 appetizers and 5 entrees to choose from. But let me tell you, I'm sure, you can't go wrong with ANY of those choices.......:)

In closing, GO TO THE FOUNDRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must say I have not been this impressed in a long time with a new restaurant. I dine out a lot and always try new places. I don't know what I was expecting but this placed blew us away. It was the perfect evening four us went for a birthday celebration. Everything was perfect the food, service ,ambiance (sat outside). You must try this place! You will not be disappointed.
