    Fyi the restaurant isn’t there anymore, but we did eat at the newly reopened Foundation Room. The restaurant is small and cute. Decorated nicely. Intimate and welcoming. The tables thou are very low to the benches that we sat at. My husband is thicker legged and he couldn’t sit with his legs under. I am small and barely fit. It took 10 minutes before we were greeted by our waitress. Another couple came after us and got attended to first. We ordered 2 drinks, focaccia, and our main entrees. Was probably 30 minutes before the drinks came followed by the focaccia 10-15 min later. Focaccia was delicious. Drinks were ok. The couple next to us got their drinks and food. They finished, paid and left. We still had not been attended to so we asked about our food. Waitress said its coming. We got there about 6:20pm. It was close to 8pm when they brought out one of our entrees. Thai lettuce shrimp wraps. Thinking the other was not far behind my husband waited to eat. By 8:30 we asked to speak to a manager. Apparently they delivered food to wrong table and did not have any more of what was ordered, not sure when we were going to be told. We choose to close out and move onto our concert. The manager was nice enough to comp our bill. She said the restaurant gets backed up because they open the restaurant with like 12 reservations at a time. So if you go. Have time.

    The highlight of dinner was getting Fast Passes for the show that night and that should tell you everything you need to know about eating here. The server did a n okay job as we told him we were not in a hurry. We asked him to not put the dinner in until we finished the apps but our mains came about three minutes after the apps. The kitchen muffed it. Thn my husband and I both ordered the NY Strip medium rare. His was done properly and my was more raw than cooked. While I get that we weren't dining at a fine steak house, there is a difference between medium rare and blue/raw/Pittsburgh style. Had the steak been a tuna steak, it would have been perfect. But it wasn't tuna. So the kitchen totally redid the steak instead of just cooking the one I had some more ... maybe there are rules about this. In any event, my husband was done with his meal before I ever got mine. The restaurant offered nothing for this mistake; no apology from a manager, no discount, no comped meal, no free drink, no dessert. Really disappointed.
