Our menu and theme of the restaurant is inspired by taking classics and adding a modern flare. We renovated a classic American building with contemporary design inside. The menu is taken from classic recipes, sourced locally and given a twist. The items will be familiar yet distinct. You will find presentation to be clean and simple. Our beverage program is an experience in itself. Our historic bar will transport you back in time, and our bartenders will guide you on a journey of crafted cocktails, wines and draft beer. We consider ourselves "fine casual", a warm and welcoming atmosphere paired with fine dining and excellent service.

    Wonderful evening with our friends. The meal was excellent, as was the wait staff. Staff recommendations were helpful, meal options were diverse, so we were all very happy with our selections. Our friends had never been to the restaurant before, they loved the meal and look forward to returning. We have been several times and have always enjoyed the food and service and will be back again.

    I love Foundry. This wasn’t my 1st visit and won’t be the last. Attentive service, delicious food and such a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. My friends and I were discussing how much we love French fries, and the bartender overheard and brought us a basket of them. It was so thoughtful and kind.

    We’re still new to the area and went to Marygold’s for the first time 12/09 for an early dinner. Outstanding from start to finish. The cocktails were out of this world and the Chef and culinary team’s food was the BEST we’ve had in the area. We can’t wait to return.
