A Memorable Meal in a Hidden Gem — Once You Find It
Our family recently dined at The Foundry Grill at Sundance Resort, and while the experience ultimately delivered a fantastic evening, getting there was a bit of an adventure.
The drive up through Provo Canyon into Sundance is absolutely beautiful — Utah showing off. However, finding the actual restaurant was surprisingly tricky. There’s major construction going on near the entrance, and signage directing guests to The Foundry is minimal (or missing altogether). We had to call the restaurant for directions, which was challenging with the limited phone service in the area. Fortunately, we got through, and a staff member helpfully guided us to walk behind the construction zone to find the entrance.
Once inside, the experience shifted completely. The Foundry itself is housed in a gorgeous rustic building that feels steeped in history, with modern alpine touches. There’s a boutique, deli, and sundries counter attached — a charming surprise that added to the atmosphere.
We were dining as a family — my wife, three of our kids, and myself — and we weren’t sure what to expect from the food. We ended up ordering a wide range of items, and not one disappointed. The standout? The signature Tomahawk steak — I’ll admit I had low expectations going in, but it was absolutely superb. Rich, perfectly cooked, and well-seasoned.
Our server, Ashlee, was a joy — warm, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable about the entire menu. Her passion for the food added to the evening, and she struck the perfect balance between friendly and professional.
The vibe is casual mountain resort — relaxed, but refined. My youngest son Axel was in a T-shirt and shorts, and we didn’t feel out of place at all. Some guests wore jackets, but it was definitely a mix. No pressure, just good energy.
After dinner, the twinkling lights on the trees outside created a magical finish to the evening. We took photos together in front of them, and it capped off the experience beautifully.

🌲 Final Thoughts:
Despite the confusing arrival and lack of signage, The Foundry delivered an exceptional dining experience in a breathtaking setting. If they improve the guest wayfinding, this place could easily earn a solid five stars.
Tip for future guests: Call ahead for clear directions, and don’t be afraid to wear something casual — it’s the mountains, after all.
