Drink 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.
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 atmosphere
Good 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!
Great draft list , a nice smokey Mezcal cocktail . Parmesean-Truffle fries , and the Croque-Madame was exquisite.
Brunch is excellent. Lunch and dinner are also comfortably above average. Great space. Always seating available
Hard 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.
There are 24 taps, 30 or so bottles & another 10 rotating casks , drafts & bottled choices on any give night. The menu does a good job of giving you the profile so you can make a choice that suits you. Read more
Great food, average service. The poutine was amazing, and my friend had the grilled cheese and it was amazing
Our 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 more
Yes, 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!
Want 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.
Jon loves the atmosphere and the awesome beer list at the Foundry. Check out his Favecast video recommendation of it here- http://www.favecast.com/9aDJkmnXib
Amazing restaurant ! The Beef Bourguignon and Croque Monsieur are some of my faves along with ANY of the deserts !
Definitely 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.
I love coming here for brunch . Their eggs benedict options are to die for.
Open-front windows in the spring are great for people watching ! Gets a little warm mid afternoon. Good drink selection
Though any marbled surface functions as a drinks-only-friendly seating area, grabbing a spot by the front windows is clutch for people watching .
Nice vibe for casual dinner with friends. Surprisingly robust aged rum selections
try everything on the menu. my personal favorites have to be in the appetizers . they are the calamari and especially the poutine .
Brunch buffet on Sundays is outstanding - be sure to try the blueberry crepes !
Fabulous food, amazing drinks. Service can be spotty at the bar , but is usually stellar at the tables.
Great place, haven't had a bad meal yet. Pork belly sandwich is killer!!
Great flatbreads , good beer selection . Hip without being trendy / exclusive.
Bartender Andy Joy is a master of his craft. Try "The Otis" (Aka Drambuie by the Bay ) and you'll know what I mean.
Make 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 luck
Amazing food, fabulous drinks. Service can be spotty at the tables, but is usually stellar at the bar .
Mussels a la plancha are awesome
The grilled cheese is the best ????
This summer, get the Tequila Shrub from bartender Morgan, who blended up this distinctive (& delicious) cocktail . Read more
Beers 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 Invasion
Saturday special is the Coq au Vin , and it's amazing.
The poutine is great but would be way better if it had real cheese curds rather than melted cheese
Definition of a speakeasy . Put on your best Mad Men inspired get up and head to Foundry. And the bartenders are HOT.
Three words: Parisian brunch buffet .
Service is typically slow but the drinks and food are usually worth it
Bartenders on Saturday nights are too busy to serve anyone. Make sure you have a good spot at the bar to order.
They played about 4 blur songs so I obviously really like it here
do yourself a favor and get a hamburger
Sit at the marble window bars on a summer afternoon with an old fashioned
Beer and cocktail flight $8!
The Sweet Ace cocktail was delish!
If you are hungry, don't get a salad . It's the size of a tiny starter for 12$. Service was OK but far from great.
Try the Poutine - Quite good!
Great cocktails
Get the quail !
Contrary to what others said below, I had a pleasant experience. Poutine was satisfactory & the bartender was polite & attentive
fav app are the mussels . u will love em.
Baked, stuffed, acorn squash was great. Great beer list too!
Good beer list !
One of the best brunch menus in the area. Try the bourbon Bloody Mary! - Brendan O'Leary

Great place for veggie heads too! Try the Hushpuppies and Mac & Cheese - Zack Shapiro
