Our party of 6 went to True Food Kitchen last night with high hopes. The reviews on Open Table and Yelp were quite good. Perhaps we set our expectations too high ... Walking in the door, the atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant and trendy. We were eating early to attend a show in Annapolis after dinner, so there was a lot of open seating. Noise was not a problem at this time of evening. I was the last to arrive. I was shown to our booth table. I sat on the cushion and immediately sank down at least 3" and I was sliding into my partner to the left. I'm short, so my chin was almost on the table. Our server was great, and patient with our decision making as this was the first experience eating here for all of us. It was still happy hour pricing on cocktails, they were around $8. I thought that was high for what was reported to be a moderately priced restaurant, and I live in Annapolis, I'm used to seeing high pricing. On to food. We were short on time, so no appetizers were ordered. There were 2 burgers, 2 poke bowls, a pot roast dip and I can't remember what the 6th person ordered, sorry. The bowls were heavily garnished with cilantro. That was not part of the meal description. If you don't like cilantro, speak up. All of our meals were fine, but not exceptional in any way. Staff was great. Free parking is easily accessible. If I go again, I'd request a table with chairs, not a booth.
