We stopped at Foundry on NYE for dinner before a comedy show. As always, the food, service and ambiance are unparalleled. We started with buratta salad with roasted vegetables, walnuts and arugula. The salad alone was worth the ride! The wine list is terrific. My husband had the perfectly prepared rib eye special, and I had the equally delicious scallop dinner. The dishes were seasoned and prepared with excellence and consideration of flavor matching presentation. To complete the meal, we shared the spectacular bread pudding dessert. Five stars are not enough to describe the culinary experience. Thanks again!!

We had a great experience and our server Mindy (or Mandy) was excellent! Had the raspberry mint margarita as well as the butternut squash tortellini and both were great! The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Great night out.
