    Overall it was a pleasant experience. The cocktails were good. We had the bread service which was fairly basic but nice. The vegetable burrata tartlet was just okay. It need more acid for a nice punch and more texture. The fava bean texture threw it off a bit. I had the featured Chilean Sea Bass which was perfectly cooked and had a nice crisp top. The accompaniments were tasty but I was left with a lot of oil on the plate. Overall a good dish. Service was very good (Holly).

    Foundation never disappoints, whether on special occasions or just a night out. Duck and crab pasta are currently two excellent dishes (among a number of others). You can also trust servers for reliable suggestions.

    Unfortunately we arrived at 8pm and the restaurant was out of 3 of the 7 entrees listed on their menu and it was a Saturday night. Per server no more was prepped (out of burger, chicken and fish).

    I really enjoyed the atmosphere - very upbeat and lively - but the food was mediocre. I had the lamb ragout and it was not very flavorful. I honestly didn’t even taste the lamb, which is usually a very rich flavor. I have had a similar lamb pasta at another restaurant in Alpharetta that was amazing so my expectations were a little high. They have a covered patio with fans that has a nice sky view!

    Tasty snacks served as entrees and house wine for $10/6 oz glass but they will sell you a thick slice of bread for $5. Fortunately, Wendy's is next door. So, you don't have to go home hungry.
