The Foundry At Summit Pond - KILLINGTON

Went to the foundry this weekend when we were in Vermont and it was awesome! The space is extremely cozy but boasts some really solid food. We went for dinner with some friends and had our toddler with us and they were super accommodating. They had a live guitarist which was a great vibe overall. The food was great, my favorite were the mussels!

Killington is berift of good resturants. There are tons of burger joints, steakhouses, and pizza places, but very few (two I think what I would consider white table cloth resturants with a chef in the kitchen. Not cooks; a real chef, I was hopeful that The Foundry would live up to my expetations but was also prepared to be disappointed. I met my low bar. I 'm a single but my dinner came from the full menu served at the bar. Kudos for the extnesive wine list; really nice to see and much appreciated. Also kudos foir letting me order half a salad. I would also shout out to the service staff for friendlieness and attention to detail. Way to go. Keep it up and that 's why you got a 30% tip. Now let 's tear this dinnera appart. Thge Malbac (two glasses was a very nice Argentinia wine. It was served well and at the right tempeature and had the head and legs it deserved. Not great, but very good. The price was right. Next was the 1/2 caesar salad (hold the egg please, but yes I would like anchovy . The result: no anchovy but also no egg, One point. The croutons might have been made last year and stored in the referigerator and forgotten until tonight. They were not mushy but were also not crispy. Come on! If you are going to have croutons, can you please make them yourself and if not at leat crisp them up in the oven. Awful Net score, zero. The main course was rack of elk with fingerlings. Overall good but it was requested as medium rare and served blue. Flipping them over revealed they had been pre-cooked blue and then put on the grill to warm them up. A quick way to try and meet the order but in this case it didn 't work because the line cook didn 't leave them in long enough and didn 't turn them over. (Imagine, that this is the best I 've found in Killington so far. Desert was a forgettable too cold chocoate tarte defrosted this morning. But the Coutrea was served perfrectly by the bar staff and at the right temperature and in the right glass wear. Thank you. Total bill was $171.57 including a $30 tip. They get three starts. If your expectations are in agreement you won 't be disappointed. But if you expect more be prepared to meet the low bar. Oh how I wish Killington had enoght of a critical mass in a village setting to attrack better resturants. Maybe some day.

Nice atmosphere and the busboy was the only professional there. After we received our steak that was ordered med/rare and arrived under cooked, (and also confirmed by the manger that it was very rare) they still had the audacity to bill us for it. Table behind us also had the same an issue with the order as well. I don't recommend this place for steaks. Very disappointin.

Had a beautiful dinner outside on the deck while the sun went down this past weekend. Dinner prices here are a little higher because you're getting higher quality and perfectly prepared food. We had Maggie as our server and she was BEYOND accommodating. So patient and kind despite our table full of kids running around and being crazy ! We were happy to be the only two tables outside so as to not bother other customers or stress. The food was all amazing, some of the crustiest most flavorful bread I've ever had!! Mussels were insane, I got he chop salad with blackened salmon and it was to die for. Highly recommend this restaurant and next year when we are back we will return !

We came in Friday night for my birthday as we were staying at the North Star next door. We were seated right away and our waitress came minutes later. They have a great selection of cocktails that were very strong. The dining room is beautiful and there was live music playing in the bar area. We ordered the scallops and salmon with sides of asparagus and mac cheese. Everything was delicious and fresh. Since it was my birthday I ordered the creme brulee which was complimentary and my friend ordered the maple cheesecake which was to die for. Had a wonderful dinner and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We went to the deck after our meal and sat in the rocking chairs which was nice.
