The food was good but what impressed me the most is the ambience of the place. It is located on the river front. Loved the view and the vibe while enjoying my food. Foundry Kitchen makes it to the "must-go" places on the list. I highly recommend this place and would love to go back there whenever I am in the area

I have to say, this is becoming one of my favorite places to come and see what new vegan options they have on their menu! Most recently I got the vegan fried rice and, though a bit salty, was delicious and very layered! And of course, sitting outside provides a peaceful and natural atmosphere to enhance your meal all the more. Looking forward to see what they have when I come next time!

Wow!! We were super lucky that we wandered into this place for lunch. The quality of all the food was superb. Easily one of the most delicious plates of nachos I have ever had. The sauce was a unique fresh spin to the dish, and the tajin seasoning was simply spot-on. We also ordered the impossible burger and mushroom po-boy, both of which we will reorder. Ah, and then the fries...I want more!

I recently had my baby shower at the Foundry loft (the upstairs floor), and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Mary and her event staff were very easy to work with - extremely personable, accommodating, and organized. The space itself is quaint and sophisticated, with windows surrounding the entire room and a skylight. It's a truly unique space for any sort of special event. We opted for brunch food which was so delicious and all of the guests were raving about how good it was. I strongly consider looking into Foundry for your event... or even just for a nice dinner out!

The wait staff is always upbeat and accommodating. Food is delicious. The fried tofu is my favorite appetizer. My husband is a huge fan of the bao buns. It's a cool building with good vibes. Great for a date night or brunch.

The foundry is a great place to have a meal. Lunch is great with a buddy. Dinner is great for your family or a date. I do feel like they are understaffed. Went to lunch twice in the last 2 months, and it's always just one waiter, and one bartender, even though the place gets packed. They do a bang-up job but I feel like management should hire more people.

One of our favorite restaurants in Connecticut! The food is always delicious. We have not tried anything we were not thoroughly satisfied with. Their Brunch French Toast is unlike any we have ever had, must try.

Our first visit and certainly won’t be our last. We took advantage of Newtown Restaurant Week specials. Surprising menu of quality choices. I highly recommend the short rib dumplings.

This place was great! Staff was friendly and welcoming, atmosphere was laid back and the food was delicious!!! We had the short rib dumplings to start, try them you won’t be disappointed! Then we enjoyed the half fried chicken dinner which was extremely filling and the Nashville hot chicken. Overall a great place if you’re looking for a cozy & warm vibe!

Had a great time here on Wednesday! Enjoyed some great drinks (the floor is guava) and great dinner as well. I enjoyed the Miso Braised Salmon which was amazing, and my friend had the classic burger which she enjoyed and I brought home the Huli Huli Pulled Pork for my boyfriend and he also wants to take a trip to Newtown now to see the Foundry for himself! Our server was kind and attentive, and especially patient as we took our time ordering since my friend and I had a lot to catch up on and never made us feel rushed. I appreciated her patience and I wish I could remember her name, but she was great! Definitely will be back next time I’m passing through.

Very friendly service and the atmosphere is great. We sat outside overlooking the river. The food was mediocre at best. Tuna was absolutely flavorless but fresh. The Caesar salad came as a wedge salad without the butt cut off, pretty gross. They do have a decent beer menu. So, if you're just coming for drinks and apps, you might be really happy. The service was lovely and friendly. Our server was attentive and did his best to meet our needs.

Great dinner with my wife. Waiters first day, service was perfect. Holy mole cocktail-spicy for me at the start but a good choice, rest of the cocktails looked good. Short rib dumplings were hot, crunchy and tasty. Miso salmon flaky and moist. Mochi cake with ice cream for dessert. Delicious meal, quiet on a Wednesday and perfect service.

We booked the 2nd floor for a bridal shower and it was perfect. The food was great and the service was excellent. It's a laid back space and atmosphere with a lot of room for 20-30 people.

Don’t walk, run to the Foundry in Newtown/Sandy Hook. One of the owners is vegan, so there are several options on the menu. And not just your run-of-the-mill options. These are really well thought out delicious meals. I got the street corn nachos that had cashew queso on them. I asked if they sold the cashew queso because I would’ve bought a gallon of it. ( they don’t). Lol. I also got a green curry dish with vegetables. I ended up bringing that one home. But it looked beautiful. They also have an amazing variety of delicious mocktails. Worth a day trip if you aren’t close by. Lots of great hiking in that part of the state. We went after hiking Steep Rock Preserve in Washington Depot. I’m def going to be a regular at The Foundry. ( make rezzies if u can as others appear to already know about how great this place is!!)

The food, service and atmosphere were all good but I got the Prime rib and grits and the plate size was smaller than the fried chicken. I like how the waiter asked if we have food allergies. Most places don't ask.

We sat outside, we had a nice view and we could enjoy a beautiful weather, service was good, variety of drinks, cocktails and wine, nachos wasn't the best, but they were tasty and kinda spicy, calamari were crispy.

Had the inside out burger with yuca fries. Messy meal, but delicious. Fish tacos were ok, not very flavourful.

My Sister found Foundry Kitchen and Tavern for my Bridal Shower yesterday, May 30th. Mary and her team were phenomenal, kind, and caring, supportive and overall easy going. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the location was, and how good the food is. I would highly recommend the Foundry for a private event, dinner or drinks. Kudos to Mary and her team. Thank you for helping to make the day so special.

Like a total rookie, I waited until a few days prior to Mother's Day to start investigating brunch options. I don't recommend that approach. Thankfully, Foundry was more than willing to accommodate me, and my mom and I stopped by this past Sunday. The parking was super easy to locate/utilize - if there are no available spaces right by the building, there's a spacious lot a little further away. Unfortunately, it was pretty nippy/gloomy out, otherwise I would have tried to take advantage of the outdoor seating options overlooking the river. Regardless, the inside is pleasant as well, and we were seated in a dining room to the left of the entrance with lots of black and white pictures on the wall and tasteful wood paneling; several reviewers mentioned modern farmhouse vibes, and I second that sentiment. It was a little chaotic when we first came in and it took a few minutes to be seated. Not a big deal, and everyone we encountered was super nice and apologetic (which was unnecessary in my opinion but still a classy touch). At my insistence, we split the short rib dumplings app ($15), and ended up both getting the same entree, the bread pudding French toast ($18). The dumplings were very flavorful, and I can see why they're so popular. Texture wise it was a little too crunchy for my palate - I think there were pickled onions or some type of crispy cabbage in there. One of the main reasons I enjoy dumplings (and its sibling the empanada) is because they contain a lot of scrumptious items that I normally wouldn't eat because of texture, but they're basically melded together within the shell or dumpling so it's not as noticeable. That's not the case here, and your mileage may vary on this. I was a big fan of the bread pudding French toast, which is exactly what it sounds like. Great consistency, great taste, and the fruit compote/berries they used complemented the bread pudding well. It was super filling though, and I was pretty stuffed afterwards. My mom didn't finish hers, and I gladly took the leftovers and munched them on the way home. She also ordered the creme brulee ($10) for dessert (I thought it would be redundant to get dessert after the bread pudding) and enjoyed it. She was a little lukewarm on the fruit topping, which she didn't think meshed well with the rest of the dish, but I was able to use it for my bread pudding leftovers. The service was pretty good though it did slip towards the end (we had to notify the busboy to get our waiter for the check). We also had a pleasant conversation with I think the manager or owner at one point, who helpfully refilled my water without being prompted. The hospitality aspect was strong. Definitely a pleasant experience overall; the Asian-influenced menu is a unique twist for the area. I'd come back, especially to investigate the intriguing cocktail menu.

I had a great meal at this place. The staff was very kind and helped me pick an item that I might like, since this was my first time dining with them. The Chicken Madras Curry was unexpected for a place like this, but it was surprisingly good. I will definitely eat here again when I have an opportunity.

We sat outside, and with the beautiful weather it was just the best option. The place has a nice view from the outside tables. It is really cute. The food was delicious. We arrive to what seemed to be a shift change but that was not a problem at all. We got our appetizer and in a really timed manner our entries. Almost as soon as we were done with the shared appetizer. The tuna was delicious!
