“It is a gorgeous 9 hole par 3 with great tee boxes and beautiful greens, played whites and then decided to play another 9 from the blue, great value for how very well maintained the course is.....only downfall was the yardage on signs, I didn't have my range finder with me but atleast 2 holes whites and blues were only 20 feet apart but would have 70yrd difference on the sign(example is hole 8, white says 74, blue says 142, and they were only 20-25 feet from each other) other than that just outright beautiful!!“

“When here for the first time with some friends who just moved up to New Hampshire from Massachusetts, they said it was kind of like an Applebee's and I haven't had that kind of food in a while so we stopped in for dinner, all ordering drinks, and eventually ordered some burgers and pasta. Our waitress was really nice, gave us all the time we needed for ordering and kept coming back to check on us properly. The restaurant definitely gave me vibes like Applebee's or the 99, it had a lot of old school kind of signs all over the walls but not too many like it it was overly crowded.“

“Every we had was amazing. We ordered crispy brussle sprouts and Canadian Poutine, which were both delicious. Poutine had the perfect balance of gravy and cheese. Fries were hand cut fries that were slightly crispy and soft at the same time. Just the way we like it. The kids ordered grilled cheese with fries, nothing really special, chicken fingers and fries, and a Nashville chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken fingers were cooked to perfection. They were moist and the perfect crisp to the outside with the perfect amount of flavor. The chicken sandwich was good based on my son's opinion but needed more sauce. My husband ordered a mixed berry salad with pan seared tuna. Tuna was cooked perfectly with a sesame coating. It wrnt very well with the salad that contained raspberry and blueberries, candied pecan, goat cheese on a bed of arugula spring mix. I ordered the Char grilled center cut with asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. My steak was cooked just the way I like it at medium rare. Garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and a perfect balance of buttery and garlic flavor. Asparagus cooked well with some char and still nice and tender. Overall, my family really enjoyed our meal. The waitress was very nice, friendly, and patient when my kids individually placed their orders. The atmosphere was relaxing and homey, though the temperature was on the chilly side for me. This was the first time we visited this place and will not be our last. I loved that we were able to find another gem that was so close to home.

Kid-friendliness: Paper menus for kids with a coloring page on the back and crayons were offered.“

“Wish I had discovered this restaurant a year ago when i first came to Derry, I'm going to miss it when I go.“

“We recently moved to the area - trying out new places. We are definitely impressed with Foundation Kitchen and Bar. Everything is made from scratch - and they work with local farms ?. The food was delicious! We sat at the bar - Heather is top shelf! She makes everyone feel like they are her only customers:) Great food, amazing service, and the blue cheese olives in the martinis..WoW!“

“awesome food, good drinks, amazing music. will always be my date night spot!“

“We had a great time. We did the little stroll through the lights which was perfect for our family. Then we had dinner inside and it was amazing.“

“The waitress may have been new but, we waited a long time for everything and the restaurant was not busy. It took a long time before the waitress came over to our table and longer to bring our drinks, 1 water and 1 beer. We ordered a salad with chicken and a burger with fries. Then we waited almost half hour to get our food, and she delivered the burger without the fries and told my grandson that the fries were not ready and that she would bring them in a few minutes. Then a new party of about 9 - 10 were seated next to us and when she came to take their order she never acknowledged us, never came back with the fries or to ask how everything was, and we had to try to get her back by calling "waitress" several times as she was walking away. Finally she heard us and came over. My grandson ordered another beer and asked about his fries. She brought the beer but no fries. I don't remember if he ever got his fries. I was fed up at that point with the bad service.“
