Foundation Restaurant & Bar

We dropped in to Foundation on a Friday night a little later than normal after seeing a show. It was during Dine Downtown week so we wanted to enjoy their pre fix menu. Located right downtown on a corner, there is street and a parking structure nearby. The interior is contemporary and clean in appearance, with lots of windows, a large bar and a separate room for larger groups or parties. The bar was packed with lots of what appeared to be locals as they all seemed to know each other and they all knew the bartenders and servers. Cocktail prices were quite reasonable. Everyone was friendly throughout the evening. Our server was super nice, but quite honestly either new, or a little off her game. Not sure which applied. For the Dine Downtown event we chose a selection from the pre fix menu so

I like eating here once a week, the owner, Elias is the heart of the restaurant and he serves the drinks as well. The staff are the best, they friendly and caring. And the food is delicious!

Happy Valentines Day! It has always been a special day for me and my sweet husband, Mitch, since he proposed to me 36 years ago -- on Valentines' Day.

The food was incredible! The drinks made by Elias and Elias (yes, father and son) were perfection! If you live in the area and you are looking for a place to experience fine dining and wonderful staff -- this is the place!

I was able to dine during happy hour but the food was so good I wouldn’t care what time of day it was! The atmosphere is so nice the amount of windows and natural light that comes in paired with the dim lighting in the restaurant really sets the tone. This is a must when visiting the city.

I was pretty disappointed with my boyfriend and I’s recent visit on 1/10. I understand it was a Saturday night, the first weekend of dine downtown, and a playoff football game however the service was pretty abysmal. We made a reservation at 7:30 and arrived about 10-15 mins early. The hostess came right over and sat us even though we were early which was nice, but that was about the extent of the good service. We looked over the food and drink menus and did not get greeted or even get water for at least 10 minutes. We had decided our entire app, entree, dessert and drink orders by the time a server finally came over with water. Then he got our drinks and ran off so quickly we could not even tell him we were ready to order or at least get some apps started. He came back quickly to drop the
