   As always, superb. The staff here are so good. The service is quick, super-friendly and very attentive. The food is sublime. It's truly an unexpected, delightful oasis surrounded by an energized and eclectic neighborhood. We've been going here for a long time and LOVE it. Highly recommended, and so are reservations. It'quickly gets booked and busy. Enjoy!

   I love this place, food is great and the ambiance is fun. Dishes are really small so it is nice to share. Drinks are great! Not sure if it is good for a large group of people.

   After hearing about and wanting to go to Foreign Cinema for years, I was able to take my parents and sister here for my birthday. Jordan took care of us and he made the night even more special. The ambiance was so unique and the food was amazing. I’m still thinking of the duck that I had! Can’t wait for my next visit! Thank you everyone!

   I've eaten many wonderful dinners at Foreign Cinema, but this was our first family brunch, and it was heavenly! From the cocktails to the strawberry rhubarb 'pop tarts' to the eggs and omelettes, there was nothing we didn't love. We'd go back every weekend if we could!!

    Made reservations more than 2 months ahead of time to sit outside. Arrived and was told it would be another 30 minutes for an outside table. Ended up sitting inside. Ordered the pork chop which was served way under cooked - super pink inside. This isn’t a steak bro, under cooked pork is dangerous to eat. Wife and her friend ordered the 3 course meal that came with dessert which is fine, but instead of also offering my friend and I the dessert menu, the waiter just brought out 4 spoons - to share two of the tiniest desserts I’ve ever seen amongst 4 people
