Lively restaurant with large college and non-college crowds right in Davis Square. Good food and nice atmosphere. A little noisy but to be expected with the large bar and groups of people.

Excellent service. Had a reservation called and said we would be ten min late due to traffic and they were very accommodating and held our reservation. Food was prepared as requested and delicious. Had the burger..highly recommend. The pizzetas were good as well. Waitress was superb. Very attentive.

Food is always good. Interesting (and even eclectic) menu, great beer offerings, and terrific service are hallmarks of this restaurant. Really enjoyable spot!

We enjoyed our spur-of-the-moment meal at the Foundry. All of us had been there before and knew we would be having good food. Our meals (coq au vin, hamburger & fries, grilled chicken sandwich & fries) were all delicious, cooked to order, and ample. The service was good, friendly and helpful. It is a busy place but we never felt rushed. After our ample meals, somehow we all had room for dessert (ice cream, flan and profiteroles) and these were also quite good. Good beer, cocktails and wine. In general, the Foundry is a comfortable, reliable and pleasant local place.

The buffet Easter brunch was delicious! There was a wide assortment of foods and everything I tried was fresh and tasty. The hostess was delightful. The waiter was OK, but didn't really come around much and we felt a little abandoned. Since it was a buffet we didn't need much, but we were going to order tea and coffee at the end but decided not to since the waiter never really came around and so we just asked for the check once we found him. That part was disappointing but the buffet was great and worth the price. Will visit again.

Great spot for a random Friday night date. The food was great (the Poutine is highly recommended) the server was the perfect balance between attentive and giving us space. My love language is when my Steak is prepared as requested, and they nailed it! Definitely will be back!
