Foundry on Elm

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?

You forget the Phantom Gourmet gift cards: it's in their interest to have as many of those sold as possible, and to have as many restaurants as possible on board with it.

"Reviews" is a little generous. Generally it's the equivalent of a magazine blurb; even restaurants they do nothing but gripe about get a positive rating.
