Welcome to Foster, we look forward to serving you soon!Highly SeasonalWhile our menu will change over with each passing season, we also continue to source the freshest ingredients from local farms to help inspire daily specials. Our goal is to give you the best tasting dishes, the easiest way to do that is to start with what’s in season.Nose to Tail, Root to LeafWe believe every part of the plant and animal can and should be used in the process making food. Whether it’s used as a component in making stocks/sauces, as the main ingredient of the dish, or as a garnish, our goal is to use 100% of the entire plant/animal we purchase. The goal is less waste and responsible consumerism.Return to CookingWith our wood fired oven and wood fired grill we are returning to the origins of cooking: cooking over fire.

Enjoyed dinner in the bar room with 6 of us. Food, ambiance and service were great. It was a Monday night and still very busy. Highly recommend Thai mussels, butternut squash soup (special) and eggplant chips for apps. Main dish was a snapper special and was very good. Overall great evening.

My friends and I went here for lunch yesterday and absolutely loved the entire experience. The food was delicious - I had the Impossible Burger; the burger was fantastic and the fries were crispy, thin, and still hot. My friends really enjoyed their meals, too. And the apple crisp dessert was so tasty and perfectly autumnal. The vibe there is great and the service was excellent. I look forward to go back again!
