Amazing Salads, delicious entrees..and we love the selection of drinks. The staff is always so friendly and they are so attentive with service. We go at least one a month and usually sit out back on the lovely patio!! read more

Great meal, great service. I'm a bit of an annoying patron, being vegan and gluten free, but the server was happy to accommodate my needs and my meal was delicious. I also have two little boys- 3.5 yrs and almost 2. Very family friendly place. Will definitely be back! read more

Great location, super cute. However, I felt like my family and I were being racially profiled... not being waited on efficiently... it took 20 minutes for our bottle of wine. The male manager went up to every table asking how everything was, but ignored us. No Black workers. DONT GO THERE IF YOU WANT TO BE PROFILED. read more

Had dinner there last night with my boyfriend and we are both serious foodies. We chose the vegetable of the day roasted Brussel sprouts as our appetizer and they were absolutely heavenly. I had my usual the 24 hour short ribs and he had the fish tacos and said they were incredible. We topped the meal off by sharing a piece of dreamy carrot cake. The atmosphere there is very warm and inviting and the service is beyond mortal. In addition to all of that it's open on Mondays!!! read more

Had THE best meal in the loft at Foundry. Started with a 'Maui Mule' cocktail which was such a refreshing surprise. The beet and burrata salad was out of this world. The scallops were delicious and done perfectly. Fabulous and friendly service by Lauren was the icing on the cake! Bravo! read more

The menu selection was not favorable. The choices would definitely not be desirable to everyone. The menu was VERY overpriced- $30 for my dish which was oily spaghetti squash with 3 scallops... THREE. I questioned if the scallops were fully cooked. The atmosphere was nice, we sat upstairs and the drinks and appetizers were good. I would go back for Drinks and Apps... that's all. read more

Just had AWESOME pork cheek crostini app. And a great Szechuan gin martnii as well. To be continued...

Food is overpriced and not that great. Food is plated well though. Not a family restaurant in a family town.

This was a first visit to the restaurant, I started with a vodka drink it which tasted weak to me, and had the duck bruschetta which was all-right as the duck was sliced Very thin and was hard to taste. My wife who not so adventurous had the nachos which were simple but good. For dinner I had the salmon with rice and asparagus and although everything tasted good, the portions were small, My wife had the New York strip which she said tasted good but was a little fatty, and had to cut around the meat and fat. I could tell she wasn't overly impressed. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, the waitress we had seemed to be a little uninformed as for as a couple things went, and the atmosphere good. The bottom line is I'm not sure if I'll be going back as I left the place hungry which I don't enjoy after dropping a little over $100, although I did see some other interesting plates be served at other tables that look so good, I'll have to think about it! read more

Feasted on the following: Appetizers: Mussels, chicken wings (ethiopian flavor), broiled octopus Mains: Crawfish linguine, short rib and watermelon/feta salad with grilled shrimp Octopus was the best I have had. Everthing was devoured. Only item that was not up to par were the frites that accompanied the mussels. highly recommend for great dinner but also for light fare and drink... Service was first class read more

We don't get out very often, but the Foundry is out favorite place to go! Love the food and the service is great. Don't miss out on dessert. Love the crepes! read more

The Foundry was excellent. My Ahi Tuna Salad was delicious. My husband had the Pork, based on another suggested tip. It was outstanding! Calamari appetizer was perfectly done and drizzled in a light spicy sauce. The service was unbelievable. The team approach and attention to detail of all servers made the experience even better. Outdoor seating was plentiful and enjoyable by the running brook. Can't wait to go back. Keep up the good work Foundry. read more

Excellent meal. Both my wife and i had the fish tacos which were fresh, somewhat uniquely prepared, and well presented. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere conducive to a relaxing evening. Highly recommended. read more

We live nearby so it's just too damn easy to stop in and say hi to Ralph and Chris. They have done a fabulous job creating an excellent restaurant with imaginative food and drinks, great staff and the best outdoor deck anywhere. When you go try something from the specials menu. It's a great place to be adventurous. Ask Ralph for a drink recommendation too. Be prepared to wait on the weekends. It's that good. read more

The Foundry is awesome!! Nice surprise in a small town. Had my 30th birthday dinner there and it was delicious!! I hate gravy but whatever they do to theirs ...I could eat with a spoon! The view is great!!! Its really hard to find a place around here that has great food and a great water view! They have live music somenights and you can tell the building has history, I think this place in kind of enchanting! Will definitely go again! read more

The eggs and bacon appetizer was awesome! The brussel sprouts were delicious and we loved the samosas. The wait staff was very attentive and efficient. Everybody was so very nice! We sat on the second floor which was really new for us since we usually just end up sitting at the bar. However, the lighting upstairs made it extremely difficult to read the menus or see our delicious food. Every table had to at least once use a cell phone light to read the wine list or menus. It put an annoying cloud over an otherwise great evening. Ambient candlelight is beautiful but to the extent that the darkness overtook that second floor room was very disappointing. read more

This place is key. The inside out burger is in my top ten burgers of all time (I'm from nyc originally). The ambiance is cool, the staff is relatively chill and attentive and the drinks are creative. Other highlights are the 24 hour short rib and the short rib Reuben. Also, always sub fries for the yucca fries, they're dope. Brunch at this place is amazing as well. It's a staple for my crew and I. In season try to sit outside, great view of the river and the sound of running water is always nice. The soundtrack they have playing is always clutch. Love this place. read more

We love the Foundry. Everyone who waited on us was so friendly, from the hostess, the bartender, the manager to the waiter. We were a group of six and this was our first time there. We all loved the food and the vibe of the restaurant. The night we were there they had life music and she was great. It was a fun night for all. I love that the restaurant has outdoor seating right next to this beautiful river that runs through the property. We would love to experience that next time as we will definitely be back. read more

We have been to the Foundry many many times over the years...ownership has changed from time to time. Quality seems to go up and down. Love the ambience both inside and outside. Wait staff has always been fairly good. Last night I ordered an entree salad with shrimp (extra 8.00).....served in a fairly small bowl with 3 small to med size shrimp! That seems pretty weak to me. Menu selection is limited. Would love to see this place do better!! Right now, it's off our list. read more

I have no idea how the food is here because after sitting for almost 20 minutes being ignored (after complaining to the hostess) we left. I cannot remember ever experiencing anything like this anywhere at any time. After we complained about this a waitress came over and poured us water. That was it. Restaurant wasn't busy at all, it was a Sunday early evening. The excuse was that our waitress was in training and was stressed out. Well so was I by the time we decided we had enough and left. read more

My wife and I originally came to Newtown to eat at another local establishment but comming down church hill road we noticed the lights on their back deck and said what the hell "lets try it" We are so glad we did :-) From the greating we received when we arive right down to the to the delicious food . Great Dinning experience! !! We are now fans!!! P.S....Have the Pork Chop you Won't be Sorry. read more

I enjoyed very much! Great presentation, service, very engaged staff, loved the outdoor deck overlooking the Pootatuck river . Nice meal on an early Sunday evening at 4pm. I'll be back with the family. read more

Foundry Kitchen and Tavern - Very impressed! I'll be back! Excellent service! Food beautifully prepared and superb presentation. - New American Near Me - Sandy Hook, Connecticut

I've been there a handful of times, drinks are great and well executed, servers and bartenders are friendly and professional and I have yet to eat anything there that I have not thoroughly enjoyed. Also great location and atmosphere and fair prices. read more

Love, love. 2nd visit and it didn't disappoint. Had stuffed zucchini flowers to start and then a perfectly cooked swordfish for dinner. He had the small steak. We were scraping our dishes to more of the sauces. We'll be back. read more

Atmosphere and service were great. Food is another matter. Nachos were made with what tasted like Velveeta cheese. Tasted like liquid American cheese. The $26 veal short ribs were pure fat. These were sent back for refund. Server said veal ribs are normally like that, but I call this BS. We did not get bread like other tables. On the bright side, fish tacos were very flavorful. Won't come here again. read more

went for brunch, lovely setting, acoustic guitar player however the food and drinks missed the mark. bartender didn't know how to make a drink I ordered, complimentary potato chips were soggy and cold. Ricotta toast had almost zero ricotta - carbonara was basically inetable as the overly smokey bacon overtook the dish. hoping they can improve the food as the setting was nice. read more

A lovely setting, they have really fixed up the place. The outdoor seating has a nice view but the traffic noise is pretty high, conversation was difficult. Also, the outdoor seating, at least in the part of the deck where we were, wasn't very comfortable. The noise and poor seating discouraged us from lingering and chatting. The menu is varied and interesting. The food's presentation was great. However, the flavor was bland. read more

The Wife & I had brunch for the first time & what a pleasant surprise! Not your regular brunch kind of place. The diversity of the menu, the drinks, the service, all on point! & the home fries??!?!?! Its like the added culinary crack to them! We couldn't get enough. She had the bloody mary with bacon (amazing), I had the mimosas in more than one flavor! Looks like we will be going back again this week! read more

Great place! Got the smoked brisket dip and fish and chips (special of the night). Both were very good. Great bread service with the meal too. Will definitely come back! read more

Always a good place to eat. This village needed a little place like this. It's got a good menu, mostly conscious ingredients with a tiny bit more of upscale palette than you would find in the area. Plates come with a homey presentation sometimes on boards which is fun. Cocktail menu always has good options. Vegetarians beware, most things have meat. There is a vegetarian chili that is really good though! read more

One of my all time favorite restaurants! I no longer live in CT, but going to the foundry is a MUST every time I come back to visit. The team there is incredible and makes you feel like family. Being a very picky eater due to health/dietary restrictions, I find it hard to eat out and enjoy myself at most restaurants. Foundry is one of my top choices for both atmosphere and menu. I LOVE the fall salad here and the scallops over spaghetti squash. And of course the sweet potato fries! I would recommend (and have recommended) the Foundry to everyone I know. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Enjoyed octopus and bowl of chicken Currie. Great place good atmosphere. Try it some time

Went back this last Saturday night and although the food was what was expected and the wait staff chipped in nicely it wasn't as good experience that I had before. I started with a bourbon on rocks, the ice must have been "wet" and severely watered down the drink. To me that is something that needs to be fixed. This place does try hard, I had the hamburger that I ordered medium, it came out medium rare. My wife had burger too ordered medium well and came out medium rare. Not a huge deal as the meat was fresh and tasty. Just a few little things that made me "downgrade" from my last visit. Given all this I would go back again, have a drink and listen to music on a Saturday night. read more

Great food and selection of beers. It's a nice spot to relax too. Great outdoor seating situation. Highly recommend it.

One of the best brunch spots in town with a great view! Staff is always on point and great. Lobster dish is amazing!

My goodness I love this place. Yucca fries, salad, salmon, pork belly, scallops, all off the hook. Great rustic atmosphere and attentive, friendly service. Dine upstairs in the wine bar. It's more quiet & chill. read more

I haven't eaten extensively here, only sat at the bar and ordered appetizers and drinks a couple times, but it was really good. Great selection of beers on tap, simple but creative menu, semi-swanky-farm house atmosphere and good service. Beautiful view of the river in the back with outdoor seating. Only downer is the parking is sorta inconvenient, but located in Sandy Hook center which is great to walk around so not a big deal. read more

Nice place and atmosphere. Loved the vegetable curry bowl I had the first time. The second time I got the risotto bowl. It was ok but I'm not sure why they charge $26 for risotto!! Ridiculous. No meat or tofu in it. I'll go back but it is a bit pricey for what you get. read more

This place has a nice vibe, decent selection and variety of everything from drinks to food. Had the inside out burger recommended by the bartender. Very juicy, tender and delicious. Good find right in the heart of Sandy Hook! read more

Have driven by this place many times. Risotto Fritters where amazing. Potbelly sandwich and the French dip where delicious. Our waitress was so pleasant and attentive. We will definitely return. read more
