The Foundry Rooftop restaurant is located on the sixth floor of the AC Hotel in downtown Dayton. Inspired by the fire within foundries, the factories that produce metal castings, this wood-fired kitchen embraces the flame. Devour new takes on internally-inspired cuisine with our Loaded Potato Pizza and Ingot Crab Crakes, or our signature Foundry Reuben and Charred Meatballs. Hearty, midwestern favorites from Chef's David Belknap and Jason Findley anchor our menu like our Crispy Pork Belly and 24-Hour Chicken. And with a combination of smoked whiskeys, classic cocktails, and local beers, you’ll always have the perfect pairing of spirits to enhance the heat of your meal. Made for Dayton locals, or those local for the day, we invite you to join us on our open-air rooftop patio for dinner, drinks and celebrating your most special occasions with a private event.

Great! Bravo. One bartender had no personality at all! If I see her again, I will ask for another bartender or leave. I come out to relax not to be treated ungrateful or I’m an inconvenience to anyone.

We’ve wanted to try The Foundry for awhile. My cocktail was yummy (the Pearl) we got 2 appetizers, deviled eggs and calamari. Calamari was delicious, eggs were a bit on the salty side. For dinner a couple ppl got the bolognese, one 24 hour chicken and i got shrimp and grits. Food was ok, not great not bad. Atmosphere was nice, great crowd on a Friday night.

Food was rather disappointing. Not very creative. The smell of truffle oil from other meals around us was off putting. Clearly the chef loves truffle. I’ll eat elsewhere.

Our server was not very attentive and barely seen. No sense of hospitality. Never write a review, but felt like I should say something here. Food was incredible!

Our experience was muted by the fact that I finished an appetizer, salad and entree before my daughter's margherita pizza even came out. That is totally unacceptable

Delicious food! We ordered the crab cakes and brined chicken with mushroom risotto. Both of us absolutely loved our dishes. Food came out within minutes of ordering. Noise level was on the louder side, but it was a busy Saturday night. If we’re out in Dayton again, we will definitely be back!
