In Short
With hip tunes, modern design and trendy drinks and bites, the Foundation Lounge provides area professionals and hotel guests with a thoroughly cutting-edge nightspot. Patrons lounge in high-end seating fixtures, while warm weather allows for a spot on the sunny outdoor patio. Noshers enjoy Japanese Zensai (small plates, like salmon cream cheese sticks and popcorn shrimp tempura) and fresh sushi. Live music will be featured occasionally, with DJs supplying the tunes otherwise.

Absolutely, positively, DO NOT go here. Had a nice experience planning a party here. Was quoted $100 for bottle service and $300 total for a table. When my party of 20 arrived we were promptly brought to our table and we once again asked how much a bottle would be. We were again quoted $100. We ordered two bottles and drinks throughout the night. When our bill came it was $1000! Each bottle of vodka being $280. We tried to discuss the situation in a calm and polite fashion. Staff immediately became defensive and refused to listen. They did not budge on the issue, told us our waitress did not understand because, and I quote, "she's mexican." Then asked me if I was dyslexic, called the cops, and kicked us out. Where's the customer service I ask? The next day I received a semi-apologetic phone message from management. Hmmm.....someone must feel bad for their obvious lack of customer service.

I really like this place and sometimes I love it, but it takes forever to get a drink. It takes a while to push your way to the bar, and even though the bartenders are pretty good, it's always super crowded. The music is good, but a little intense. Though it gets overcrowded, it's always a good crowd. So you see, I really like it, but there is always a little something that is a little annoying, so I give it 4 instead of 5 stars.
