Tristan LenhartAugust 7, 2014Drink Tip: Excellent selection of craft beer on tap and bottled. The cocktail list goes beyond the menu, just tell the friendly bartenders what things you like and they'll whip up your new favorite.Upvote2Downvote
This french bistro complete with espresso stained wood bar and white marble bar makes any winter day a sensory indulgence. The food and cocktails are the only thing in here that surpass the atmosphereUpvote3Downvote
Richie BreartonJune 29, 2013Good food. Had the Chef Burger, very tasty. Atmosphere is good. Little loud in the front but quiet enough in the back table section for conversations. Def a great place in Davis for hangouts!Upvote2Downvote
Chris JonesAugust 10, 2014Great draft list, a nice smokey Mezcal cocktail. Parmesean-Truffle fries, and the Croque-Madame was exquisite.UpvoteDownvote
Joey CohenDecember 30, 2018Brunch is excellent. Lunch and dinner are also comfortably above average. Great space. Always seating availableUpvoteDownvote
A SJuly 20, 2015Hard to find a place with great atmosphere late night a.m. Thankfully this fit the bill. Much better, in a sophisticated way, than a few other places on the same block.UpvoteDownvote
Emily BaerMarch 25, 2016Great food, average service. The poutine was amazing, and my friend had the grilled cheese and it was amazingUpvote1Downvote
Boston PhoenixNovember 24, 2010Our favorite app was a poached pear salad, mostly for the nicely dressed, giant heap of mizuna, although ripe pear and gorgonzola cheese are fine garnishes. Also try the filling, classic poutine. Read moreUpvote1Downvote
Tufts UniversityFebruary 15, 2012Yes, people go for the atmosphere, but the food, from poutine to bisque, is worth the caloric splurge. Read the full review at: http://now.tufts.edu/articles/dish-foundry-elm

If you're a meat eater, check out the Banh Mi sandwich: Asian-style BBQ pork, Vietnamese pickles, watercress, chicken liver mousse & chili relish. Scrumptious and filling!UpvoteDownvote
Meg MSeptember 8, 2011Want and awesome reasonably priced lunch? This place is perfect! Great selection that doesn't cost a million dollars, and a cute Irish bartender to boot.UpvoteDownvote- FavecastNovember 15, 2013Jon loves the atmosphere and the awesome beer list at the Foundry.

- RannyAugust 26, 2012Amazing restaurant! The Beef Bourguignon and Croque Monsieur are some of my faves along with ANY of the deserts!Upvote1Downvote
Proxy ApparelMarch 26, 2012Definitely check out the flatbread with roasted pears, Gorgonzola, arugula & caramelized onions. If you're in a hurry, make sure you sit at the bar for faster service.Upvote1Downvote
Ross Flieger-AllisonFebruary 2, 2020I love coming here for brunch. Their eggs benedict options are to die for.UpvoteDownvote
KateMay 19, 2015Open-front windows in the spring are great for people watching! Gets a little warm mid afternoon. Good drink selectionUpvoteDownvote
Tony GouldAugust 9, 2014Nice vibe for casual dinner with friends. Surprisingly robust aged rum selectionsUpvoteDownvote
Patrick RoldanAugust 30, 2011try everything on the menu. my personal favorites have to be in the appetizers. they are the calamari and especially the poutine.UpvoteDownvote
Jim McFaddenNovember 21, 2012Though any marbled surface functions as a drinks-only-friendly seating area, grabbing a spot by the front windows is clutch for people watching.UpvoteDownvote- Nicole CNovember 3, 2013Brunch buffet on Sundays is outstanding - be sure to try the blueberry crepes!Upvote1Downvote
Paul EnglishSeptember 20, 2012Fabulous food, amazing drinks. Service can be spotty at the bar, but is usually stellar at the tables.UpvoteDownvote
Timothy HenningAugust 18, 2013Great place, haven't had a bad meal yet. Pork belly sandwich is killer!!UpvoteDownvote
Great flatbreads, good beer selection. Hip without being trendy / exclusive.UpvoteDownvote
MarqueeBoston EventsMay 2, 2012Bartender Andy Joy is a master of his craft. Try "The Otis" (Aka Drambuie by the Bay) and you'll know what I mean.UpvoteDownvote
Stephen SacchettiNovember 6, 2011Make sure not to order too many drinks at a time, especially cocktails. The bartenders might get a little mixed up.This might not be applicable to a cute girl. Good luckUpvoteDownvote

Lauren BowenJune 2, 2012Beers are eh, this place looks like an upscale diner. It has a lot of potential but the interior needs to be completely re done. One good thing is that they are having a Goose Island InvasionUpvote1Downvote
The poutine is great but would be way better if it had real cheese curds rather than melted cheese

LauraApril 23, 2015Service is typically slow but the drinks and food are usually worth itUpvoteDownvote
Kristen Z.August 17, 2011Definition of a speakeasy. Put on your best Mad Men inspired get up and head to Foundry. And the bartenders are HOT.UpvoteDownvote
Jake SmithSeptember 11, 2011Bartenders on Saturday nights are too busy to serve anyone. Make sure you have a good spot at the bar to order.Upvote1Downvote

Amanda RodriguezJuly 25, 2014They played about 4 blur songs so I obviously really like it hereUpvote2Downvote
Pascal HahnMay 31, 2014If you are hungry, don't get a salad. It's the size of a tiny starter for 12$. Service was OK but far from great.UpvoteDownvote
