Foundry on Elm

[mjrocks98.livejournal.com]

I'm just curious, has anyone had a good experience at Foundry on Elm? I've been twice now & won't be going back. I was hoping this would be a great place but in December when I went a waitress who had gotten off her shift & stayed at the bar drinking came over to my table sat down with us & started eating off my plate & drank my beer. Neither management or her coworkers stepped in to stop her. I decided I wouldn't let that one incident keep me from giving it another try. This weekend I decided to go again & after ordering our food it took almost 90 minutes before the food was served. They stated that the original server had to leave & that after that happened our order got messed up & had to be recooked. They offered us a dessert for free but we just wanted to get out of there & not look back. Am I missing something here? Is there something great about this place? Isa this just going to be another place that closes in 2 years?

Your experiences are impressively bizarre. I've been there three or four times and consistently had fairly slow service, but nothing otherwise out of the ordinary.

Their beer selection is unusually good for the world at large but is bested at half a dozen places in Cambridge. The cocktails and food are inconsistent and overpriced, say my friends who get them---I only get the cheese plate, which is a fine example of its kind if a bit pricy.
