    I was expecting to try the famous brunch buffet and instead the change it and now the brunch is just a regular menu as you can find in other thousand of restaurants in the area. The food and the service was good but a bit expensive compared to to what they offer…in my opinion it doesn’t out stand, it’s just another fancy/expensive restaurant as others.

    We had a delicious dinner and delightful time at the Foundry. The dining room is a throwback to the days of the Mill yard. The staff, Thomas in particular, were friendly and knowledgeable and very helpful. The cocktail menu is unique and refreshing. We started with the roasted brussels sprouts also very good. We split a half portion of the asparagus salad and each ordered entrées and were plenty full. We had a great dinner guided by Thomas’ descriptions and suggestions.

    We've been here a few times and love the atmosphere and the restaurant itself. Drinks were excellent as usual!! Service has always been very good and it was again this time. We wanted to have scallops but price was $50! Very expensive we felt. I ended up having chicken which he said was okay, just really something we want when going out to dinner. My husband had the risotto which was fine, but not what he was looking forward to. We just found the menu limiting and not great choices. We will try again maybe this summer.

    Their Brunch is absolutely amazing! better than a cruise ship buffet! So sorry to hear the all-you-can-eat Brunch is ending on Mother's day. But going back for the French Toast alone is worth it!
