    We are from Ohio and were here visiting. We made a reservation at 5:30 but needed to change it to 6:00 because we were running late. I called and they were very accommodating and easily moved our reservation. It was much appreciated! The service was fast and friendly. The food was outstanding! All 4 of us loved our meals. Quality fresh ingredients and beautiful plating. Our plates looked like they were done on MasterChef!

    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.
