    Fantastic experience at The Foundry at the AC Hotel! Amazing atmosphere, great vibes, delicious…read morefood, and exceptional service. Ruben was our favorite--friendly, attentive, and truly made the experience even better. You can tell when someone genuinely cares about their guests, and Ruben absolutely did. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

    I ate here again recently for my birthday. The reception at the hotel said they were booked for an…read moreevent until 8:00 pm. So my girlfriend and I decided to just eat at the bar. They open at 4:00 pm on weekends and there were people there for some sort of reception but there were open tables too, so it seemed kind of misleading and confusing to me. It seemed like a waste of space for the few people we saw there. My girlfriend ordered the vegan pizza which comes with cashews and mushrooms and you can add vegan cheese which she did instead of real cheese. So it is a genuine vegan pizza. I ordered their 8 ounce forged burger described as "100% Ohio beef patty, Gloucestershire cheese, arugula, heirloom tomato, black garlic aioli, potato roll, side salad." Both meals were very good. They also have a variety of unique and tasty cocktails. The bartenders were very nice and friendly, service was awesome, and there is a nice modern vibe. The only problem I had was I booked a stay at the hotel and it was with the "Foundry Package"which comes with a $50 food credit at the Foundry. The bartenders weren't aware of this package and I had to talk to reception to get this resolved. I do recommend this restaurant but the menu is limited so please review online prior to making reservations. The food is very good and the drinks are superb!

    It's been some time since we last came here and we decided to try it again. They have really kicked…read moreup their game! It's certainly worthy. Now given that, it's not your Taco Bell. Expect to pay more when the food is of this high quality and this well prepared! We started with the Caprese salad. Delicious! Burrata cheese, greens, prosciutto ham and a wonderful basaltic dressing. A+ on this! Then we both had the Maryland crab cakes. Lump crab cakes on asparagus. Just delicious, easily the best crab cakes I've had anywhere in Ohio, maybe the best I've ever had! A+ again! Service was fast and friendly! The setting is on the Great Miami River with a wonderful overlook! Everything was perfect! As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!'

    Finally made time to pop in for dinner--unfortunately it wasn't on Lobster Roll or Cluster Crab…read morenight (guess we will just have to return at least two more times lol). The dinning room is nice, low light and low music playing. It seemed to get a little smokey in there but it wasn't bothersome. Our server was so lovely! And another lady that was floating around checking on tables was very sweet and fun! We really struggled with our ordering and "locking it in"...therefore we ended up ordering what felt like half the menu. For appetizers, we got calamari and the baked crab dip. The calamari was pretty light and delicious. The crab dip was heavy and but had a great flavor. I wasn't a huge fan of the chips but it was great with the bread that came to our table. The bread basket came out steaming and the butter was amazing we had to ask for extra. The butter is whipped and has green onions in it. Hubby and daughter each got clam chowder--it was different from what they are used to (and they are both clam chowder connoisseurs) but they still thought it was very good--just thinner and a lot more meaty ingredients. Daughter loved the halibut with risotto. Hubby really enjoyed the boathouse burger--bacon jam was new for him but he loved it. Though the burger was messy--he definitely cleaned the plate. My seafood platter was pretty good, I ate the scallops and coconut shrimp first. Then came our next dilemma...dessert!! So we each got one! Crème Brûlée, Highlander Grogg Chocolate Cake and Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet. Everything was a hit!!
