Don't let the bland exterior for you, the interior is elegant, the service was attentive and friendly and the food was absolutely amazing. Went for brunch and was not disappointed. Will absolutely return for a full entrée for date night read more

I didn't know what to expect at this new restaurant that is a few miles from my home. The restaurant is very beautiful both inside and outside. Basically, the menu and food, in my opinion, is highly elevated bar food. The menu is short and simple. Drinks were good, but $2-3 pricier than many restaurants. We started off with the multicolored beet salad. Very nice and tasty, but lacking something. Needed more vinaigrette or olive oil for taste. Entrees arrived before we finished, not a good sign for me. I guess that they are still working out the kinks. My wife ordered the crusted tuna. She thought that it was excellent, but the mashed potatoes were lukewarm. I ordered the chicken pot pie, which came out hot and delicious. Other food around the restaurant looked good and people seemed to be enjoying their meals. Overall I enjoyed the restaurant, but I think it requires more attention to some detail. read more

Came here thinking it's more of a sports vibe ambience, but really it's just a local spot with a good vibe seems to generate an elder crowd. That being said, we got 3 seats at the bar. Our bartender / server were Rosa and her daughter both whom were amazing. Very friendly and extremely attentive. We ordered their wings and calamari as apps, all of that was incredible. Super delicious, crispy and wet. Ordered a bunch of drinks, they were playing some good music as well. For my entree I got the fried chicken sandwich which was cooked to perfection. Nice hidden gem which is close to my home so I will definitely be returning to try more of their food here. read more

We went last night for dinner and thankfully had reservations. It's a small, cozy place. The menu is small but with good choices and daily specials. We started with spinach artichoke dip and it was creamy and delicious, served with crunchy pita chips. We both got the Shepherds pie special and it was also so good. The only downsides were parking tight and they should hire more servers as it was very busy. But the service is good, they're working very hard. I'm glad i found this local spot! read more

Checked this spot out on a Friday afternoon and we were very pleasantly surprised. Unassuming from the outside but very tastefully styled on the inside. Food was very good and the service was excellent. The owner introduced himself to us and chatted with us for a bit. All in all very pleasant experience. read more

Went for the first time last night. The atmosphere was cute and cozy on a cold evening. We got the dip appetizer but the real treat was the deconstructed chicken pot pie and the short rib pasta special. Both perfect comfort foods. Parking was a little difficult because of the snow but we came pretty early. Plenty of options for anyone. Will definitely be back!! read more

We stopped here for happy hour and ate at the bar. Highly recommend the espresso martini (they have a few. I just have a classic one ) and the meat candy.appetizer! I will definitely be back to try dinner. The staff was welcoming and warm and the decor was very inviting. read more

The food was so disappointing. We went the day after Valentine's day. They had many specials including one that came highly recommended by our server, so I ordered it. It was supposed to be short rib. What I got was mushy beef with almost no flavor on top of giant noodles with a big unnecessary piece of burrata. I've had short rib many times at other restaurants that have had so much delicious flavor and the meat is definitely fresh. It seems like they recyled the Valentines special into the next day but it was not special at all. I barely ate my meal and the server asked if we would like to take the leftover home and I quickly said no. She realized I probably didn't enjoy my meal. My husband had the scallops special with risotto and he enjoyed his meal. However only half the party enjoying their meal doesn't make a very good experience. read more

First time visit here last evening. Went there early around 4:30 and was quiet. Good Happy Hour prices for drinks. Excellent staff and very personable. The bartender Rosa was knowledgeable and pleasant to talk with. Very pretty place with an upscale vibe yet accessible to everyone. You'll feel comfortable blue or white collar. The food...in a word- EXCELLENT. For an app we had the Yellow Fin Tuna Tar Tar. Very, very good quality tuna which was the clincher for me to order the Pastrami Rubbed Tuna for dinner. That was excellent as well. Great whipped potatoes with scallions underneath. The side of spinach with leeks was very good as well. The wife ordered the Fried Pork Chop and it was communicated when ordering that there is a wait time as they prepare it. (approx. 1/2 hour turned out) She was getting a little "antsy" waiting but suffice to say when it arrived it was so good that she said she'd wait 3 HOURS for it. Yes, it was that outstanding. And my wife is in the business and normally doesn't give out compliments that generous... Our bartender told us it's a very popular dish there and always consistent. Highly recommended place. read more

Love the Foundry! welcoming atmosphere and attentive, friendly service. it's perfect for a relaxed meal or special occasion, great experience read more

Today we found the foundry and we're so glad we did. After reading other reviews, they're not lying about the exceptional and friendly service. The place is very modern and has a nice date night appeal. There's even a cute patio that would be nice to eat aim if this weather could cooperate. We skipped on the cocktails today but they sounded great. For appetizer we got the clams oreganata. The sauce was standard but plentiful to sop up with the bread. For entrees we got the pastrami rubbed tuna and the burger. A boring burger you're probably thinking, not quite. It was smothered in cheese and sautéed onions and it was served with the nice crispy fries that you want. The bun is fluffy but not overbearing. I always think ketchup served on the side in a cute dish is a nice touch. The tuna I got cooked medium rare and it was absolutely perfect and a generous serving. The nailed getting that smoky pastrami taste. The potatoes saved the best for last. Star of the meal. They were whipped scallion potatoes. They were so velvety had a zing from the scallion. They were certainly indulgent but a great partner to the tuna. I hope it gets more attraction because it's in a random spot with not too much foot traffic but definitely make your way there for good food and service! read more

We came in for drinky poos and to check out this new restaurant. Loved the wine selection. Had what I like. My husband MUST have cold beer on tap. It was perfect. The glass turned frosty as soon as the Peroni hit the glass. Looked at the menu. Love what we saw. Will come back for a try. read more

Service was terrible. Even with a reservation, we still waited for twenty minutes. Then they made us move tables. Food was okay...my husbands pork chop was amazing. But the rest of the food wasn't worth the prices. Won't be going back which is sad because we like to support local businesses. read more

When you walk in you are instantly struck by the wonderful warm Ambiance and you are greeted as if you are with family and friends. The food was exquisitely presented and tasted absolutely outstanding which includes all the dishes starting with the warm bread and Olive Oil with sundried tomatoes served while looking through the menu right through the appetizers and main entree's . read more

Went early for dinner at 6 pm. The food and service were great, but the nightclub levels of obnoxious music volume as a bit much.

Came here on a Friday around 5:30 PM with a couple of friends. The food was very good and the waitress was very attentive. My only complaint is that they had loud club music blasting, and it didn't seem right for a peaceful dinner. read more

Decided to go to the foundry for a birthday dinner. The food was so good! and the ambience was like an upscale pub vibe. Alexa our server answered all questions and was professional. The mussels in vermouth were clearly a winner as was the artichoke and spinach dip . We had the burger with loads of onions that was one of the best burgers I have had in a while. ! read more

What a great new find! The food was excellent and the staff and vibe were all welcoming. Definitely will be back.

THE FOUNDRY: Friday Night Went to the Foundry Friday Night with friends, and overall had a great experience. The ambiance was very nice-stylish and comfortable. We started at the bar for happy hour; their special martini was strong but really hit the spot. Our party of six was seated at a nice round table which made it easy to chat and share appetizers. We ordered the Kung Pao Calamari & Artichoke Dip - both were excellent. For dinner, I had the Pastrami Crusted Tuna and WOW, it was outstanding. The only downside was that at 8:00, a DJ started playing music, it got quite loud which made conversation difficult. Other than that, everything was great. I'd definitely go back, maybe a bit earlier to avoid the loud music. read more

New Restaurant Tavern since March (2025) opened up on Woodbury Road in Hicksville NY . They were open today Sunday till 9pm. They are closed for Memorial Day. My server was listed as Rose. But Steve ( owner/manager) sat me and took my order. A young man working there names Servio chatted with me as well. The place is clean and new inside. They did have outdoor seats though I didn't see anyone outside at this visit. Upon entering, I noticed at the podium a list of to do s. On it I saw , put up signs for bathrooms. ( see pix) I ordeed the Kale salad and added chicken the later was cooked and spiced perfectly. Steve, upon request, got me a few slices of bread with a container of butter. I asked about the listed Chicken Franchise. No noodles or sides come with that. Dessert was a tartufo and a cappuccino. Bill without tip was near 50 dollars. (See pix) It was very loud in there with no sound barriers. There were no phone charging stations as my battery went dead and I found a plug to charge it. They have a sign noting no smoking or vaping. They have a Happy hour listed on the outside sign. I'd stopped in again. read more

After reading excellent reviews, we met friends at The Foundry Tavern for an early dinner. The parking lot on the side of the restaurant faces a commercial area. Don't let that turn you away. Upon entry to the restaurant, we entered a bar area followed by an attractive dining area. Our waitress was pleasant, helpful and attentive; she gave us recommendations when asked. The consensus was that our dinners were delicious with generous portions. Couldn't resist trying a few desserts, which were well worth the extra calories. Highly recommend this restaurant. Will not hesitate to return. read more

Went on an impulse and was very happy with our choice! Wife and I shared the salmon and bone in chicken francese with a side of mash. Everything was delicious. Will come back! read more

We stopped in on the fly and had a great time from the moment we walked in. Friendly staff, fantastic food, and lovely decor. We had spinach and artichoke dip, calamari, beet salad and strawberry burrata salad. Dynamite across the board. Super fair prices. Highly recommend! read more

Mediocre at best. Went on an early Saturday night, they seated us although they were full for the evening and had reservations showing up in an hour or so. The spinach dip was the best part of the night. Bread for the table was offered and came but was cold, not bad tasting but felt like it should've been warm? Between the 3 of us we got the beet salad, the pork chop and the steak sandwich. The beet salad for 21$ was extremely small, was simply just beets cheese and pecans. Nothing else. For 21$ I expect an enormous salad. The pork chop was large but came with no side and no sauce, only a very small baked apple and was over the top salty. No side or sauce and mediocre for 38$ is diabolical. The steak sandwich was fine...the fries it came with were unfortunately not hand cut so nothing special there either. Everything was OKAY at best which is a huge let down for those prices. Although the restaurant itself is beautiful, and it wasn't too dark in there which is something I appreciate. read more

Hub & I had a beautiful dinner. The service was outstanding start to finish. The food was amazing! Prices are reasonable for the quality. We will be back. read more

I went to the Foundry for the first time tonight. The food, service and ambiance were all excellent! I will be back!

Late on a Thursday night and I had remembered I saw this restaurant on my regular drive locally. I didn't remember seeing it before- it's new! Enough about me. This place was PHENOMINAL! It has been forever since I have enjoyed a restaurant so much. I like to think that I cook pretty well, so it takes A LOT to impress me. This place blew me off the charts. We started with a s'mores martini- omg perfectly crafted. Their bartender crafts drinks perfectly balanced. It came dressed with a charred marshmallow reminiscent of summer campfires. My husband and I shared a meal- we ordered the rib eye - which was a perfect medium rare. Beyond the temperature, the quality of the meat was spectacular. Whoever their purveyor is- they are sourcing it right and their chef is spot on. We also order sides of green beans and spinach which were perfectly cooked and delicious. My son ordered the PEI mussels which he savored and devoured. They came dressed in a delicious vermouth cream sauce- omg delicious. We ended our meal with the bread pudding and wow... The menu is focused and well thought out. We will be back. We left feeling that there are no wrong choices for a meal here. The food, decor, the staff... omg the staff... attentive and professional. This place is a diamond! Highly, HIGHLY recommend. JUST GO! read more

My girlfriends and I always get together on Thursday night for dinner. We decided to try this new spot in our home town and it was fantastic. The renovations they did are absolutely amazing. Very elegant and warming. Our waiter was adorable and so attentive. I met the owner and he is such a nice gentleman. We thanked him for such a great dinner and ambiance for our girls night out. We shared a bunch of things. Everything was amazing but our favorite was the fusilli with the braised short ribs!!! I highly recommend this dish to anyone who goes there read more
