Welcome to Foster, we look forward to serving you soon!
Highly Seasonal
While our menu will change over with each passing season, we also continue to source the freshest ingredients from local farms to help inspire daily specials. Our goal is to give you the best tasting dishes, the easiest way to do that is to start with what’s in season.
Nose to Tail, Root to Leaf
We believe every part of the plant and animal can and should be used in the process making food. Whether it’s used as a component in making stocks/sauces, as the main ingredient of the dish, or as a garnish, our goal is to use 100% of the entire plant/animal we purchase. The goal is less waste and responsible consumerism.
Return to Cooking
With our wood fired oven and wood fired grill we are returning to the origins of cooking: cooking over fire. Here at Foster, we combine fresh ingredients, classic technique, and an open flame to serve you a meal that’s simply elegant.

    Delicious and extremely tasty food as everything was seasoned well. Atmosphere is great as it is elegant and elevated for a pub. Service is good but it could improve as we waited to be asked regarding dessert a bit of time. Will definitely return and recommend.

    I enjoyed the black cod special. The food at Fosters never disappoints. Staff is great and professional. It’s always my first pick when dinning out.
