Foundation Social Eatery restaurant review, Roswell

In tomorrow's AJC I have a review of Foundation Social Eatery , Mel Toledo's new restaurant in East Roswell. Area residents will appreciate the light and airy transformation of a spot that once housed a dark Twisted Taco. The remodeled space is divided into four distinct areas constructed using a mixture of raw and refined materials with one more finished than the next, much like the fare.

Toledo is working to solidify his nearly two-month old restaurant’s culinary foundation. Some dishes, like the seared halibut with buttery asparagus sections and brilliant green spring peas ($24), exhibit great finesse and a delicate touch while others are clunky and awkward like the messy bowl of bacon-studded pork shoulder ($21) topped with an apple-arugula salad. Once the menu comes together, this social eatery has the potential become a draw for residents in its under-served section of Roswell.

The ground work has been laid, now Toledo just needs to give it structure. I gave it a grade of 1 star.
