The Foundry

Live music!! Amazing outdoor area! We were lucky to get a seat as they were completely booked up on this Saturday night! We had a quick drink and later that night ordered off skip the dishes didn’t love their selection on skip the dishes compared to their in house menu. We ordered these pizones or calzones they were okay! But they did have a vegan option so that was really nice! Wish we could’ve stayed for an in house menu item - recommend making a reservation ahead of time!

My sister-in-law recommended this Thunder Bay gem and I am so glad she did! Incredible service, food and atmosphere! GET THE MOZZARELLA STICKS! They were the biggest (each piece was at least two fingers thick), best mozzarella sticks I’ve ever had in my life! The servers and hosts are such lovely, kind and accommodating people and very quick too!! My husband and I were very happy with our date night here! Delicious, fresh food with tons of flavour and love that they bring so many dipping sauces for you too without asking! Who doesn’t love dipping sauce options?! We will definitely return to this fantastic spot when we visit Thunder Bay again! Also, just a few steps down the block from this restaurant is a great gelato place (Primo Gelato I think it’s called) so the location is ideal for date nights!!

I went there the other night, and it was more like an experience then a dinner. Sort of funny because I was able to bring the entire room into laughter the wait staff told me that I was the best customer they had in a year. I didn't even know that I was a comedian but I appreciate the great service and awesome food. I cannot downplay how great this place is and would not bother going down the street for second rate service

Looked good at first but things quickly went downhill. Made a reservation for 5pm they said they had one table available on the patio (a two seater which a third chair would have to be added for our group which we agreed to) Upon arriving most of the patio were free and remained free enough for our entire stay, meaning they easily could have given us a 4 seat table. Plus the table we were given wasn’t even close to level, drinks were literally sliding towards the edge of the table if you weren’t careful. The server seemed very new and didn’t have a good grasp of the menu, which is fine, everyone needs time to learn but it does still impact the experience even if they are polite. We had to ask a few times to get a straw which was only provided after another staff member came by our table. My food was pretty meh. I had the Saturday special - wings and nachos for $25. The wing looked great and a good size too but it only took one bite to figure out they were overcooked and dry. The nachos felt stingy as far as the toppings went, probably only 1/3 of the chips had toppings on them. Another order at our table came with green onions even though we asked for no onions. If things would have ended there I would have left a 3 star review but they didn’t. Later this evening I went to snack on some of the left over nachos I took home and discovered a long dark hair baked right into the crunchy cheese of one chip. Accidents happen, but after all the mishaps of the dining experience I’m going with a general lack of care and professionalism that led me being served unsanitary food. I won’t be returning or recommending this establishment.

Really enjoyed our quick drink at The Foundry. We were recommended to check it out by the team at Tomlin while we were waiting for a table to open up there. We sat right up at the bar and had some chats with the male bartender. He was super knowledgeable about the product and very down to earth. The venue itself seems like it could be a lively place. Very swanky Victorian pub vibe. The male bartender made us a mean ceaser made with Beet juice.. (I normally hate beets). He also made me a tasty whiskey sour! Keep up the good work!
