★★★★☆ 4.0 Tania Dominguez · Dec 2025

Easy to make reservations and were seated within a minute or two of arriving. Bathroom is located at the front and is single stall for both men and women. Ordered a rum and coke which was the best I've ever had. It was very smooth. Really wanted a nice steak dinner so was slightly disappointed that they only had NY strip. Also ordered a salmon. I might be a simple person, but I felt like the garnishes took away from the dishes. The salmon had a pinnapple-mango salsa and the steak had some kind of diced tomato or salsa. The salmon was great alone, but the steak did taste more like a hamburger with a vinegar drizzle (I'm assuming from the salsa). The mashed potatoes were also made with parsnips which really changed the traditional flavor profile I'm used too. The guacamole was better than

Starting with the good…the waitress was great, the beer menu was very good and my wife’s mocktail mule was delicious. The restaurant has a nice interior, although the staff (unsure who it was) should be more mindful when they are on the phone, loud conversations and quiet restaurants do not go well together. The two of us were the only customers at 4:30 PM on Saturday. Now onto the food…we really enjoyed the tempura cauliflower. The shrimp scampi was fine, certainly not worth the price. The Haddack was very undercooked and translucent. We both questioned this as soon as the dish arrived since it was barely warm to the touch. We mentioned this to the waitress who offered to take the plate back, however, we both felt like, what’s really the point if it was served this way in the first

★★★★☆ 4.0 Stephen Priest · Oct 2025

I think 🤔 the name 📛 of the former restaurant here was Halligan Tavern. Foundation Kitchen and Bar 🍻 has been here two years and I wish them success! Service was a little slow on taking my order or receiving menus but it not because the staff were goofing off. The bartender was also washing the glasses. The wait for my food and drink was short. I had the Cran-Sage Mule mocktail for my drink, the Seared Salmon entree for my meal and Chocolate Flan for dessert. The Seared Salmon was called Norwegian Salmon on my bill. All of the food was delicious. The salmon was a little spicy which seamed to include all of the entree section. The menu was limited but I like that because it helps me decide quicker especially when I am hungry. The bar was quiet and flat screens were showing sports. All of th

★★★★☆ 4.0 DJ Garcia · Jul 2025

The food is the star of the show at Foundations. Unfortunately the AC was broken and it was brutally hot in there. We had some signature cocktails like Smoked Peach Old Fashioned and Blackberry Sangria. Our server was the bartender too, and servicing the whole restaurant, so it it got slow with refills and after ordering. All the food was excellent! Wings were tasty, cauliflower was crunchy and delicious, entrees were all gobbled - Bolognese, Burger, Baked Chicken and Salmon. If you’re looking for bomb food - you found it.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Michael Richelson · Dec 2025

Ordered the pork chop and it was legitimately raw on the inside. My wife ordered a chicken panini that only tasted like cheese weirdly. Staff was nice but inattentive and didn’t comp the sandwich. We didn’t eat anything and left. It was mostly empty and took almost an hour to get our food.
