We received our food and drinks quickly. We ordered two iced strawberry matcha lattes. Unfortunately, they were pretty terrible and borderline undrinkable. I don't doubt that their coffee is good, but this was disappointing. The color was not great, it had no actual matcha flavor, and not nearly sweetened enough (even with the strawberry syrup). It pretty much tasted like chalky water with strawberry seeds. I ordered the turkey bacon, egg, Gouda cheese with spinach on a multigrain roll. I enjoyed it, and both the turkey and eggs were cooked well. I feel like there wasn't enough cheese, but maybe that's just me. However, the sandwich was kind of dry and I had to ask for ketchup so I could just have some moisture. My partner ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich. The chicken didn't have much flavor, but the sauce was good.

The special app tonight was a "stretched" pork dumpling which might be one of the best apps I've ever had. Normally I'm a sucker for the bao buns at Foundry but these are even better. Hope they stay on the menu. Spicy tuna poke was great as usual. My NY strip hit the spot and the pork shoulder sandwich was greatly enjoyed by my accomplice. Good attention, chef came out for a visit too. Looking forward to returning to try the other new items!

My friend and I both had burgers, which were delicious -- but what were REALLY awesome were the french fries. Slim, perfectly cooked and salted -- hoo mama. Other reviewers have mentioned that the menu has more of an Asian influence -- this continues to be true, and in fact, when we return I'd like to try some of those more specifically Asian or Asian-inspired dishes. One thing I perceived, though, was that the pickles on the burger were brined in something that tasted almost seafood-y -- I'm allergic so I don't think it was actual fish sauce or something, but something that gave it a slight fishy taste, like when you have seaweed. Anyway, that was the only thing I didn't care for -- but it didn't bother me enough to not want to try again! We loved the ambience and the location was also super convenient with free parking in the back. I'll update my review after my next visit!

Despite 40% of the staff missing for multiple reasons, the staff handled caring for a full house - inside and out - as best as possible. The wait was worth every minute after I dug into the Linguini and Clams Portuguese Style. One of the best meals in a long time! Reminded me of summer meals in the Portguguese section of Fall River MA. Ralph prepares this dish from scratch and the small clams were fresh and fantastic. The portion can easily feed 2 and more. My family's more traditional eggs and bacon and toast dishes were perfectly cooked and delicious. Outside seating offers beautiful river views. Inside is a bit cramped so if the weather is good head outside! Next visit - ordering the dish ahead of my arrival!

My daughter and I attended and we were impressed from the moment our car dropped us off in the front. We were greeted at the door by a professional employee. He took us back to a beautiful space with a marble table where we picked up our name tags. Nearby was the entrance to the huge room where all of the family members were seated at circular tables with white tablecloths. Each table had a beautiful flower arrangement in the center that didn't prevent us from seeing each of the family members around our table. The waiters were right on schedule with each course starting with our drinks. The food was delicious and naturally we had anniversary wedding cake for dessert. There was plenty of space for dancing with a dance floor. When we had the opportunity to move around to the other tables to chat we were not crowded in the space. I am highly recommending you consider Tashua Knolls for your special event.

The banquet room and facility in general is extremely dated. Looks like it was last decorated in the early 90's. Weird fake flowers and sconces. The "turkey" carving station had a large, shiny lump of chopped and formed turkey with a very pink hue. Almost like they bought the worst quality meat lump from a deli and called it turkey. Never seen anything like it. Even the ice cream was bad. I liked that there were healthy options, fresh sautéed veggies, etc. however it was completely unremarkable. This morning my partner and I woke up with diarrhea and nausea. We never have these issues except with food poisoning.

Two good-sized Maryland-style cakes, nicely seared and packed with crab (not filler). They came over a bed of fresh arugula and parmesan with a lemony kick and chili aioli that tied it together really well. The fish and chips were classic -- a big, flaky piece of wild cod fried golden. Fries were solid, tartar sauce hit the spot. Tried the crispy chicken sandwich too. Juicy chicken, cheddar, bacon, pickles, and the same chili aioli they used on the crab cakes. Really tasty combo, and the fries on the side were crisp. Overall: good food, friendly vibe, and worth a return visit.

It says that it's a choice. Whatever you order in store, you pay extra for having your sandwich on one of their choices. For example, my kids ordered a bacon, egg and cheese. An extra $2.50 for a croissant when it's part of their choices. I ordered a large caramel iced coffee, which was tolerable. Again choices on the online menu said caramel, vanilla, hazelnut available. What it should say is $1.00 extra for flavors. The service is very slow. My kids and I waited about 30 mins for 3 sandwiches. A tuna mac was also ordered. The total came to $63. Never again.

So, my wife and I, along with our tween daughter, visited Hilltop Kitchen on a whim last Saturday…read more First impressions were wonderful. The dining room was empty as we came early, and it looked beautiful. The entire restaurant, to the eye, is absolutely a vibe. There was one server on shift at the time and she was very nice and welcoming. We had very high hopes for the meal to come. We were fairly disappointed. It was during a brunch service. Initially ordered the calamari as an appetizer. Yes, calamari as a brunch app is kind of strange however since it was available I ordered it. I typically order this wherever I go, because I execution-wise, it's not the easiest thing to prepare correctly. This app was tiny, as in the serving size. Additionally the calamari itself was super small as well. No nice meaty rings. No crispy tentacles. Just a greasy mess. The dish purports the dipping sauce to be that of a fra diavolo, it was not. It was more like a marinara with chunky bits of aromatics and perhaps a bit of crushed red pepper. It was also very pricey given everything. Even if it were perfect, still on the pricey side. At the same time my daughter ordered French toast. For $18. We are talking $6 a slice of brioche. Wild business, that. As mains, my wife ordered the avocado toast. Which she actually seemed to enjoy, although the bread was soggy, and the other items on the plate severely lacking. I ordered the "lobster" cake eggs Benedict. If this was lobster, then I'm the Mother Theresa. It was, by my palate overly processed canned crab meat. At best, overly processed lobster meat, but I highly doubt that given the taste, color, and texture. The CRAB cake itself was meh, the accompanying potato hash was okay, and the hollandaise sauce was passable if not good. We ordered drinks as well. My lemon drop martinis were pretty good. My wife was dissatisfied with her margarita, then ordered a dirty martini that was okay. We walked out with a tab of nearly $200. To say it was worth the money would be absurd. I hate to be so blatantly honest with this review, but this experience (food and drink-wise) was not one I would recommend.
