   My mother isn’t able to do stairs or high top tables so they opened another room for us. Everyone was helpful and pleasant and professional. Food was amazing. Definitely recommend it.

   loved it. Excellent food, great server (Ria?) who was attentive without being intrusive and low key energy without intruding into conversation. Cant wait to return.

   My husband and I were looking for a place to go to to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and we came across the Foundry specifically because they advertised St. Patrick's Day mocktails. There was only one mocktail on their menu specifically for St. Patrick's Day but it was delicious and a lot of places don't even have that. Plus, their corn beef and cabbage dinner was splendid and came out very quickly, so overall we were very satisfied with the quality of the food and the overall atmosphere.

   The online menu is not correct. The restaurant has complete changed its cuisine. It’s some very poor version of Asian inspired. Horribly. Our server told us that he has asked the owners to update the online menu to reflect the change. Anyway - run don’t walk - away - unless you like overcooked and fried food with an Asian fair.

   This was a terrific find. We were at Shepaug Dam watching for eagles and got hungry… what luck that the Foundry Kitchen & Tavern is located nearby in the center of the charming village of Sandy Hook. It’s also about two minutes off I-84 if you happen to be driving by.

    We love the Foundry. Service had some hiccups at the bar but our server was in communication with us. Had really good meals— everyone raved. Nice evening, thank you.
