Foundry On Elm

Foundry is my favorite spot in Davis. They might not have the FASTEST food service, but the quality of it is top-tier, they have a wide beer selection, great cocktails, and awesome waitstaff. Had an espresso martini and the affogato both for the first time there recently and WOW, both were incredible, would highly recommend.

We walked in late Sunday night for dinner and were able to sit at the bar with no wait so that was nice. The bartender Gabriel was friendly and professional. I recommend the Coq au vin and my date loved her grilled cheese & tomato soup. I don't even like tomatoes or tomato soup but i tried a bite and it was delicious.

Delicious food! We got the grilled chicken sandwich and it was so good. The burger was very tasty and well cooked for a medium rare. We also enjoyed our drinks and the maple buffalo wings. The drinks were pricey but not surprising for Davis square. Outdoor seating is comfortable but a little loud with the traffic. Overall we recommend it!

I unfortunately had a negative experience at this restaurant while having dinner with a friend. I ordered a drink, and while I was taking the first couple of sips, I realized the lip of the glass was uneven and sharp. When I looked, I saw the glass was chipped. I let the waitress know, and she apologized and brought me a new one. We continued with our meal and enjoyed our food. When we were ready to pay the bill, I asked the waitress if it was possible to get a discount on the drink due to the chipped glass. She said that she would ask. Someone who I assume was the manager came over and asked about an issue regarding a chipped glass and I explained that I was wondering if it was possible to get a discount on the drink due to the situation. He asked if there was an issue with the new drink and there wasn't, which I told him. He explained that policy was to simply bring out a new drink. He then asked if I was "trying to get it for free" which rubbed me the wrong way. I felt like he was implying I was trying to cheat my way out of paying my bill or that I was trying to get a free drink because I didn't like it and not because the rim of the glass had a sharp edge. I said okay and he explained the policy again before leaving our table. We paid our bill and left. I felt as though my concerns about safety went unheard and that the manager was dismissive of the situation. I felt less than welcome after this interaction.
