This is our 4th or 5th time dining at the Foundation and each time has been a wonderful experience. The food is excellent , the service and people are fantastic. It is a great place to dine or hang out have a few drinks and appetizers.

My husband and I visited from out of town. We came for an early dinner date before an evening meeting. Only a few other people were there at the same time. Our server was attentive, engaging, and had great menu suggestions. The restaurant felt upscale and classy. This restaurant was a lucky find while browsing Open Table, and it was exactly what I hoped for. The food was delicious and it was a great experience! We would definitely recommend it to friends!

The bar served excellent Manhattans. That was the start of our meal. The meatball appetizer was strongly flavored and rich but we shared it amongst the four of us so it didn’t interfere with the main course. Three of us had the short rib stroganoff. It was good enough that there were very little remaining. The fourth of us had a bbq chicken flatbread dish that also disappeared. We ended up the meal sharing a desert. Tiramisu. It was rich and moist with espresso. It too disappeared. The service was excellent. Plates arrived and left together. Water was kept filled. Drinks arrived quickly and together. The atmosphere was calming and good for private conversations amongst close friends. We will return.
