Kate Gunn
Excellent. This was a fantastic spot to land when waiting for a show at Golden 1. Come early or call ahead and make reservations though, lots of places get filled up and have a long wait otherwise. LOVED the old fashioned and the spicy green beans. Sports bar but upscale. Would come again!

Came in here for a couple drinks before a concert. This place has been open for around 9 years. It is a couple blocks from Golden 1 so a great place to stop and eat and drink before an event. We did not eat but had just a couple beers. Bartenders are super nice, Chris answered our endless questions about what he was making. Bar is fully stocked. Will be making this a stop whenever going to an event.

I think this place was probably awesome 10 years ago. Now it’s a little old and run down. Food was actually pretty tasty but for the price, I expect much better. The Braised Beef was good, but cold. Plates were cold. Salmon was good. We ran out of water and was not offered more.

The wife felt like having Italion for dinner and Foundation was right on the way home. We had a calamari appetizer which was most excellent! Fried calamari, onions, potato chips and green peppers! Makes my mouth salivate just describing the dish. My wife loved the chicken fettuccine and my New York steak was heavenly! We had no room for dessert… Highly recommend the Foundation Restaurant & Bar!

01/21/2023: We were going to the Sacramento Kings game, so we stopped here for a pre-game dinner. We had a reservation, but the hostess was confused and initially didn’t see it. She blamed it on her hearing as her co-worker pointed it out in the schedule. We were seated in the dining area, on the other side of the bar area, so it was nice to be able to see the TV and the football games.

Foundation is just a great place to go. The bartenders and waiters just make you feel so comfortable. We always enjoy ourselves… especially when Elias is the bartender. He is kind, professional and just an all around great guy. We’ve been coming here since the mid 90’s when it was 4th Street Grill. Try this gem, you’ll be happy you did!

This was a great spot for a weeknight dinner! The food was absolutely delicious. Our server was super friendly and did a terrific job of keeping our rambunctious crew fed and watered all night long. We accidentally stayed past closing and nobody complained at all. Next time we’re in town, I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!

Delighted little bar with delicious food. Great service and friendly atmosphere. The tacos were well flavored and the salmon salad lightly seasoned, perfect for an afternoon lunch.

service was poor food was ok, we ordered Grey Goose Martinis which were cheap shelf vodka returned them and again received not what we ordered. After getting home realized they charged us for the returned Martinis. I dont ever write reviews but this is not ok.

The food was bomb and the drinks were stiff. A 10 out of 10. My server Gina was a sweetheart and made us feel so welcomed to Sac town.
