The drinks are good, though definitely pricey for what they are. Unfortunately, the food didn't impress. I ordered the flank steak, which was cooked medium-rare but wasn't cut against the grain, making it tough to eat. Overall, the dishes felt plain and very overpriced. Our server was lovely, though a bit over-attentive at times. The atmosphere also missed the mark. The DJ's music choices didn't fit the vibe of the space, and navigating to the bar through the dining room was surprisingly difficult. You have to squeeze through tightly packed tables, often brushing past people who are trying to enjoy their meal. Some tables were so dimly lit that guests were practically sitting in the dark. We'd consider returning for drinks on the patio, but not for dinner.

This was our first time visiting the foundry and it was a wonderful experience. The food was good. The service was excellent. We will definitely be back. I had the 24 hour brined breast of chicken. We also ordered the turkey dinner and the short ribs. Everything tasted delicious. The brownie for dessert was amazing!

The hotel is very strangely situated, and not the easiest to enter. There is no parking in the front of the property, so you have to enter from the rear. Only problem: there is no sign on the back or the hotel to confirm you are at the hotel and where to enter.
Deborah
Server was very nice, service just a bit slow. Whipped feta was very good, pizza was ok. Very good mixed drinks.
Adam
We were seated in a very dark location and high traffic area. It was difficult to see what we were eating and diners kept passing by our table. Unfortunately the server was not attentive and dropped a cocktail on my husband. We then had to wait quite a while for a replacement. We were disappointed in our meals and only one meal out of four served was rated good.

Our first visit, and we really enjoyed the food, drinks, and entertainment. The salmon and the short ribs were amazing! The live singer was remarkable, she walked part of the room as she sang and had cool arrangements of the tunes she sang. We'll be back, especially when the weather is nice again so we can be outside.
Robert
Nice menu and great service. The food is good but not great. Pretty typical for restaurants associated with a hotel. Had a billing issue that was handled immediately. I would definitely recommend a visit to this downtown addition !
Sue
Had dinner on Saturday evening. The entertainment was EXCELLENT. The bartender was almost non-existent. Had 2 drinks with Don Julio over ice and the bill was $48. Thought this was a bit steep for 2 shots of tequila. Appetizer of whipped feta was excellent. Salad was ok. Dinner was pretty good, with chicken. The orzo served with it was a bit gummy. The server couldn't have been better. She was very attentive and helpful. All in all, not a great experience and doubt we will be back.
Zachary
Fun experiment. Was disappointed with the food. For the price I was shocked how bland the food tasted.
Terry
The staff were super attentive and enjoyable. And the restaurant is remarkably beautiful. My steak was overcooked - I ordered it MR and it was MW. And the kitchen slices the steak before plating so there so no excuse for serving something prepared incorrectly. This told me that the kitchen doesn't really care about the product they send to the customer. It ruined my experience. And no - I didn't send the steak back because I can't stand the thought of wasting food.
We visited this restaurant for my friends 30th birthday and it was amazing. Good food, great drinks, fun vibes! 10/10 recommend!

Perfect Date Night! Creative drinks and tasty bites. Unique Industrial site, atop the AC Hotel, with it's own elevator entrance on Madison.

This restaurant is on the roof of a hotel. It's got great views of the baseball stadium next door. The decor is very cool. We went for Sunday lunch, so they only have their brunch menu, but there are lots of great choices on it. The pecan roll is to die for. They definitely serve you plenty of food.

Had a very nice dinner. The only thing which kept it from being really great was the volume of the music - not really my style of music (which isn't a big thing), and having it blaring so loudly that conversation was sometimes difficult.

One of my favorite restaurants in Dayton. Eaten here multiple times and it's a great atmosphere and the food is fantastic. My only complaint is the music is way to loud for the rest of the atmosphere, and you about have to shout at the person across the table. Would love it if they toned the noise back some.
