“Last night, we visited the Foundation Tavern in Derry, NH. The parking lot was small and tight, which may make alternative parking options preferable. Upon entering, the music volume was high; as a hearing aid user, I found the sound sensitivity increased. The hostess confirmed there was live music and accommodated our request to be seated away from it, so we sat in the main dining room.
Our server introduced herself and promptly took our drink order, despite the dining room being busy and her serving alone. Having dined at many restaurants over the years, we were understanding of any minor mistakes. I requested a different bottle of wine after initially ordering the wrong one, and the change was handled without issue.
When she inquired about appetizers, we declined and ordered dinner. My wife chose the burger, while I selected the Bolognese. Our meals arrived quickly; however, my wife's burger was served without a bun. This was due to the assumption that her side salad indicated a low-carb preference instead of fries. Morgan, our server, checked in and corrected the plating promptly. My wife noted that the burger was especially well-prepared, and I found the Bolognese comparable to those of high-end Italian restaurants.
The evening was enjoyable overall. Other customers contributed to a positive atmosphere, including a nearby birthday celebration and a guest complimenting my wife's outfit.
Pricing was about 20% higher than average local restaurants, which we considered justified based on the quality provided.
We will visit again. Probably on a Wednesday night because they offer half price bottle of wine with dinner and we are wind drinkers.“

“Excellent food, friendly service and a beautiful venue! Reasonably priced and close to home, this is a great place, will be going back!“

“Awesome food, good drinks, great music!!! 5 stars“

“My friends and I ordered a special, the Ribeye., w/asparus and mine had their specialty mashed potato. We all agreed how amazingly tender and cooked to perfection they were. Asparagus was the best I've had in a long time and the Mashed so yummy I kept wanting more.“

“CrossFit chicken caprese last night was phenomenal ! Also the best starburst martini !“

“Food is great. But, I had another experience, that I want talk about - I was there recently and apparently dropped some money on the floor as I was leaving. To me - it was a substantial amount. Another customer found it and turned the whole amount in to staff. We called the next day and told the staff what happened and the exact amount. They had been holding it for us. Staff was kind and great when we went back. So - not only do they have great food - but their customers and staff rae top-notch - kind, fair and charitable.“

“Loved the Valentine’s Day 5 course menu and special holiday cocktails and mocktails! We love coming here for dinner regularly, this was a super fun evening over and above the usual great experiences! We haven’t had a 5 course meal since attending a wedding or going on a cruise. Really well done at one of our favorite places in town. If you missed it, better try the next event. It was such great food oh and the dessert! Of course the servers are always out of this world. Thanks for a great holiday team!!!“

“We always head for the tavern, always great, friendly service. We gave the food a 4 star only because of cost. Prices seem to have exploded upwards. We have always had great food, great atmosphere and great service! Also, wish they had Trulys :(“

“We will definitely come back here again. This place is clean the view of the golf course while dining was great. The service was exceptional and we had multiple options for where we wanted to sit upper or lower. They cooked my burger perfectly in my guest was happy with her chicken dish.“

“I am a repeat customer and have never had a bad meal. The food, service and price are all awesome.“

“Five-Star Service That Made the Meal: Thank You, Ashlyn!
I recently dined at Applebees and while the food was certainly delicious, what truly made the experience unforgettable was the impeccable service from our waitress, Ashlyn.
From the moment we were seated, Ashlyn greeted us with a warm, genuine smile and an upbeat attitude that instantly made us feel welcome. She was attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu (offering thoughtful recommendations), and anticipated our needs before we even had to ask.
What really stood out was her ability to strike the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. Whether it was refilling our drinks, checking in at just the right moments, or remembering the smallest details of our order, Ashlyn made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table.
In a world where good service can be hit or miss, Ashlyn is a rare gem. Her passion for hospitality shines through in everything she does. If you’re lucky enough to be seated in her section, you're in for an exceptional dining experience.
Thank you, Ashlyn, for going above and beyond. We’ll definitely be back—and we’ll be asking for you by name!“
