    First, parking. There is a small lot to the side of the building you probably won't find a spot in, and additional parking a building away and downhill. Not too far, but being an umbrella if there are predictions of inclemency. The building is beautiful. The doors look original, there are lights flowing up the staircase when you walk in, and dining is split between a dining room and bar area. Reservations are recommended. The food was great - the inside out burger was literally a bun flipped around on a burger, but the cheese was ample and it was juicy. The shrimp Bao were great, the shrimp was well cooked and tails off, as it should be!

    Made reservations for a girls night to celebrate a birthday party. Signs outside in the doors weeks a bit misleading and had me walking around the building twice. The restaurant was very crowded but once we were seated the servers were all very great. We tried some of the mock tails and cocktails and all were very good! We had the street corn nachos as recommended by fellow yelpers. The nachos were good not great we chose not to get a protein added so that may have been the missing part. The chips were fresh and ample amt of corn on it but seem a bit lack lasted on seasoning. Next we shared the short rib dumplings which were good and the meat was very soft. They got cold quickly though. Main course I had the flank steak w coconut rice He came out slice already which was a bit odd to me and the chimuchirri sauce was super sweet which I haven't experienced before. The crème brulee and the chocolate pudding were both out of this world My fave part of the meal was the drinks and the sweets We maybe back for brunch but I'm good on dinner

    Stopped here for lunch while traveling through the area. Great place for a beer and a fresh made meal! They have a nice outdoor space as well! Little pricey but I don't usually mind that if you can tell it's higher quality food prep and ingredients

    My friends and I went here for Friendsgiving dinner and drinks and had a great time. Located in a handsome historic building and offering a view of the Pootatuck River, Foundry serves up a menu that is inspired by cuisine from around the world. It's a place where old meets new. Where else can you find an original 1850s bar and antiques AND short rib dumplings, vegan street corn nachos, or Thai green curry? Nowhere, my friend. (At least not to my knowledge.) We started with an order of the short rib dumplings. While the dumplings were a little hard and chewy on the outside, the short rib meat inside was plentiful and cooked perfectly. The sesame ginger and sweet soy sauces, pickled onions, and sesame seeds were a flavorful touch. I gave my jalapeños that also dressed the dumplings to my friends. (I like jalapeños, but my digestive system doesn't always like them.) Our cocktails were inventive and well-crafted. I had the Sage Against the Machine mocktail and it was a lovely blend of blackberry, sage, lime and sparkling water. I don't remember the names of the cocktails my friends had, but I know they enjoyed them. Both my friends had the Thai green curry and it smelled and looked really good; it was also a large portion and they both ended up taking half of theirs home. I had the Inside Out burger, which was a certified angus beef patty with truffle cheese, bbq sauce, bacon aioli, and pickled onions on a "flipped" (read: some of the top of the bun was cut off to make it look like it was inside out) brioche bun. The burger was delicious. Foundry really does have umami down to a science. Rather than fries, I substituted a side salad which was fresh and filling. Our server was attentive and polite. He seemed hopeful we'd order dessert but, alas, we were too full and wanted to save room for the next day's Thanksgiving dinners with our families. Next time you find yourself at the intersection of Route 34 and Church Hill Road and wish a unique place to eat and drink, look no further than Foundry.

    Took my family here for dinner. We were seated outside (the view of the river is nice from the patio). The street corn nachos were good and a decent size portion for two adults and two children. I had the Thai green curry with chicken which was delicious. Service was on point and friendly. The patio can get a little loud. Would recommend.

    We sat in the room to the left when you walk in, we had a party of 8. We liked having a space to ourselves but we felt disconnected from the restaurant. The food was good, we asked our waitress of the best recommendations and everything was great and delicious tasting.

    I stopped in here the other day with a group of girls after we had checked out some other local spots in the area and oh am I glad we did! The building is absolutely gorgeous, for starters. Such a great location and each room inside is beautiful. I popped into the bathroom which I can also confirm is very clean and nice as well. We all started off our girls day brunch with some drinks, I went with smells like tea spirit because I love a good tea drink as well as a good pun. Beautiful beverage and tasty too! We all decided to split some apps, and all of us were in agreement that the street corn nachos were BOMB and perfectly made. I mean perfect distribution of cheese and toppings to nachos. The dumplings were also tasty, and we are all still talking about the bbq wings we all split that had a unique smoky flavor. Our entrees then arrived and by that time the most I did with my hash entree was pop my egg yolk but I ate it the next 2 mornings for breakfast and it was superb. We are all in agreement we will be coming back again to check out more of the menu. Brunch though was for sure a 5 star experience.

    Thankful that Foundry stayed open on this snowy day to help us celebrate a birthday! The burger and beer deal on Tuesdays was a hit. Not to mention the happy hour apps and later, desserts to top off our night!

    excellent Mother's Day brunch!!! Great place... beautiful venue....wonderful cocktailsread more

    Located at the Silo Point Country Club, the Brunch House 1850 restaurant is a little off the beaten…read morepath. GPS was not my friend on this trip and the signage was a little hard to see, but we found it after only driving past it once. The hostess stand and dining area are just to the left, through a doorway when you enter the building. Reservations are suggested and after visiting today, I can understand why. Even with a reservation, we were seated by the bar/party room. Unfortunately, it made hearing my mother-in-law almost impossible to hear. Besides the loud music and even louder chatter from the attendees at the baby shower, we were constantly interrupted by the partygoers. I had to move for people going through the doorway, making room for large gifts and a woman's walker. At one point, we were even by a family of party guests to take a picture standing by the doorway and a decorative tree. The group grew and I had to leave the table to make room. So, why 4 stars? The staff were amazing and the food was even better. The ladies at the hostess stand were pleasant and our waiter was very friendly. My Tipsy Leprechaun Martini was brought by another cordial server. Our drinks were brought quickly, orders were taken, and our meals were delivered quickly. I ordered the Oscar Benedict with crabmeat and asparagus served over polenta with a side of homefries. My mother-in-law chose the Classic Benedict also with the homefries. We were both impressed with the presentation of the meals, the portion size and the seasoning of the homefries. The crabmeat ratio to the portion size was perfect. The eggs were made correctly and the sauce was bright and not too heavy. I would definitely give the Brunch House a second chance, but maybe ask for a better seat.

    Five stars for food. A million for service!…read more We didn't have a reservation for dinner. This was one of the few places with vegan/vegetarian options. Courtney was amazing, fitting us in for New Year's Eve. The place did not disappoint. Fantastic service and food at exceptional value. exceptions were happily made for restricted diets.

EVERYTHING was phenomenal…read more Our waiter was attentive and always around when we needed him, which is huge for me since I am big on refills lol. The restaurant itself is mine and my hubby's vibe! We love the rustic, dimly lit look in a restaurant! We started with sharing the empanadas. They were delicious. He ordered the butternuts squash raviolis and I ordered the bistro steak frites. (I asked for the fries to exclude the truffle aioli because I cannot stand the smell of anything truffle oil flavored. I substituted it with garlic aioli and asked for a side of bbq sauce for my steak!) Everything was cooked to perfection. Time wise, we were in and out within a timely manner which is very important to me. There is nothing better than going in, getting served right away and then not sitting around waiting for the check! I will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area again. I plan to check out their Danbury location one of these days!
