Reviews for The Foundry Restaurant in Denver, NC
All I can say is…absolutely stunning! Wanted to take my mother out for her 75th birthday and make it special, The Foundry did... not disappoint. The atmosphere was so comforting, the food was so delicious and fresh, and the service was top notch. Our serverIsaiah was the best we have ever experienced! Made us feel comfortable and at home. He was delightful, charismatic, kind andbeyond helpful. Absolutely will be returning! Read more
I think we would be fair in saying we expected more for our money. Upon arrival (with a reservation) we were seated and it was... at least 10 minutes before the wait staff appeared, apparently they were in a team meeting which is understandable but thehostess should have at least mentioned it may be a few minutes before our waitress/waitor would be by the table. At that pointsince there were 2 hostesses and it wasn't busy yet it would have been nice if she would have at least brought us some waterwhile we waited. Our waitress Louisa was wonderful but that was about it. We ordered the Prime Rib, apparently that is an everySaturday thing but it wasn't listed on the chalk board at the front nor in the menu so I had to ask. We decided to have a saladbefore our dinner and it was okay but not much for $5 extra dollars. When our Prime Rib arrived it was basically flavorless,cooked decent just no seasoning and not very warm. The Au Jus was also a little bland. Apparently they rotate sides so while theonline menu we viewed before arrival said whipped potatoes our Prime Rib came with a giant baked potato. That was totally finewith us except it was barely warm enough to even melt the butter. We enjoyed our beer and decided to have an after dinnercocktail so we ordered an espresso martini. Although it tasted pretty good it was made incorrectly. The waitress explained whatthe bartender used and I guess it is a mixture of alcohols and Bailey's Irish Cream which is nothing like the recipe for anespresso martini, the only thing that was as described in the menu and in the recipe was the 3 coffee beans on top, so that wasanother let down. Basically we wouldn't recommend this place and honestly the only reason I'm giving the 3 stars is because Louisa was sweet and took great care of us. I don't think our experience was worth the $120 bill, we were underwhelmed to saythe least. Read more
A few things to say about this place. I love the environment and atmosphere. It's great for gatherings and parties but I was met... a little shameful from hostess for not having a reservation. There was plenty of tables available upon entry and I was stillmade to wait 10+ minutes. The food was also not up to par. I had fish and chips that was so fishy and smelled bad that it wasalso not edible. Another person at the table ordered a BBQ sandwhich that was smothered in sauce that was too hot to eat aswell. So be weary of certain things on the menu and ask questions before you order. Mostly everything on the menu is over $15 soyou want to make sure you get something you can eat. Read more
First time visiting The Foundry - and we will be back! The Hosts and the Servers are so friendly and cheerful, and I love the... open, airy feel to the restaurant. The food was unique and delicious! Located in a gated community, you just need to drivethrough as a guest and mention you are heading to the restaurant. Such a lovely community - looks like a great place to live! Read more
Food, drinks, wait time, staff, cleanliness…all 10/10. Love seeing regulars greeted by name! The food was fresh, perfectly... prepared and delicious! The staff were all attentive without being overbearing. Hadleigh was the sweetest! I loved enjoying anentire meal without feeling rushed. Already have made plans to return next week!! Perfect hidden Lake Norman gem!! Read more
We went there for Father's Day. Made our reservations ahead of time and had no issue with being seated. Service was slow but not... bad enough to complain. There were 5 of us and we did not eat slowly but did have to wait 15 minutes before appetizers wereserved and then another 15 minutes or so for the meals to arrive. Again, we were not complaining. Then the server dropped offout check and said we needed to leave because they had more people scheduled. (Several tables at this point are empty!) we werenot hanging out longer after the meal, did not even have coffee afterwards. Basically, ate and told time to go! Should have beentold our reservation allotted us only one hour! Very disappointed! Read more
They really are struggling with staffing. There was almost no one there and they requested we sit inside (we asked for out)... which is fine. Be prepared for a very long wait after you sit down, even if there are only two other customers. Food is wellbelow average but edible. It's similar to a high school or middle school but prepared a bit more upscale. Menus don't match whatthe website does. Super slow bar service. However if you live in the neighborhood (or neighboring like we did) , not a badplace to walk for a beer. Read more
Wow! Type of where you step the first time and let it soak in. Any type of dining experience you want. Patio, wrap around... setting in front of the bar to watch sports, pool ???? tables and shuffle board in another. Wine ???? room and family ???? room.Our server was Jennifer. Bubbly, wonderful service, very friendly checking in on us making sure we had everything we needed andthe food was OK. I got the triple turkey club sandwich ????. It was a new item they were trying out. What a PERFECT ????sandwich. Absolutely nailed this thing. Best club sandwich I've EVER HAD. IT WAS TOO GOOD TO SET DOWN. The hugest one too. Mywife and daughter split the fig pizza ????. They kept going MMM too. This restaurant is way better than the 4.3 rating it got onGoogle. Stop ???? in. You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Read more
