This is my favorite local restaurant. On this occasion I dined alone. I ordered my favorite entree: short rib pot roast. Per usual, it was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered a White Russian boozy shake (thick) because I don’t enjoy milky milkshakes. The bartender complied. The serving was ample. Service was attentive without being annoying.

Service at True Food is absolutely wonderful. Our server was so nice and right there when you needed her but unobtrusive the rest of the time. I appreciate the healthy options on the menu and the ambiance is great - very peaceful and cute decor.
