The vegetarian options were varied and tasty. The margarita was lighter on the salt and chemicals and most refreshing. Server was friendly and attentive
The squash soup is INCREDIBLE! The Tulsi tea with ginger and lemon is super yummy! Our server was awesome as usual! Thanks TFK!
Delicious healthy food, excellent service.
We shared the chopped salad and the sea bass; they divided it in the kitchen.
Delicious and beautiful.

Had the roasted brussels sprouts as an appetizer, followed by the ancient grains bowl topped with salmon and a glass of very good Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Everything was delicious. The squash/pumpkin pie was the perfect finish to another great meal here. Food is consistently of high quality and prepared simply and well. TFK has become my new favorite

Our waitress was so awesome! My friend is becoming vegan and she was so knowledgeable and helpful with her recommendations! Food was very good! Will return to try the other options! Also the manager was really sweet and loved his seasonal cocktail creation. You can tell from the way he describes it he is a craftsman or a mixologist. Excited for the next seasonal creation!!
Thank you so much for the 5 star review!!! We are happy to hear your server had the knowledge and recommendations to guide you through our menu. We look forward to you dining with us again...and trying some more seasonal cocktails!
Not gourmet but good healthy, fresh food. Perfect for lunch. Perfectly nice dining setting, although a little industrial/cold in feel.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Brian. We appreciate your kind words and hope you choose to dine with us again soon.
Such a great menu. Love the salads and the pear flatbread. Great skinny margaritas.

The butternut squash soup and the ancient grains salad were quite tasty. However, the Brussel sprouts were overcooked and could have been crunchier. The flourless chocolate cake and vegan ice cream were very good. Our server, Autumn, was quite attentive and nice and was knowledgeable about the menu items. The ambiance of the space is nice as there are lots of windows so that the sun streams in. The restaurant was not crowded, so we could enjoy conversing with little distracting noise.
Edith, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your visit. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your meal and Autumn was able to offer you great suggestions on what to try. We look forward to having you dine with us again soon.

The food was delicious, our wait person was wonderful. Being seated next to the kitchen-not great as we wanted to talk and it was VERY LOUD. However, we asked and were graciously and quickly reseated in a quiet spot. Problem solved.

I’m so appreciative to have a nice restaurant with healthy food but why can’t the servers, cooks and everyone else that works there wear their masks properly? That means covering their nose. I go there because I want to be healthy.
Hibye, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your visit. We take all feedback into consideration and we'll be talking to our staff to make sure they're covering their noses with masks. We look forward to having you dine with us again soon.
We had a reservation but when we were seated it seemed as though we were seated at the least attractive seat in restaurant. It was not extremely busy. I should have requested a better seat. I will make this my standard practice in the future. I guess I am willing to give them another chance the next time.
JohnW, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your visit. Anytime you don't like the table that you're assigned please let the host know. We want you to be happy and comfortable. We look forward to having you dine with us again soon.
Haven’t been in a while but I just live the eggs on avacado toast and the service is always great!
Thank you so much for leaving your 5 star review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your meal and service as well...and we agree, our avocado toast is delicious!
Calbert and Paul did a great job, phenomenal drinks and food and accommodation by the folks working there.

I was surprised at the informality of the dining room and the wait staff, but then realized it was just California style. The food was absolutely amazingly good — fresh, thoughtfully prepared and presented. Every bite was in perfect proportion and delicious. I’ve never before had food like that in the East.

We had an excellent dinner at True Food Kitchen. There were 7 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our server was very responsive to whatever we needed. All of the food was very delicious. The noise level of the restaurant was a little more than our group preferred. Everything else was great.

I met a friend for lunch. The restaurant was not busy and the service was fine. The food was mediocre. The soup was not hot and the pizza was just ok. I have eaten there before and had much better meals

Great quality for the price. Unusual combinations of food. Healthy and reasonable portions (with left overs). We go weekly for an easy Friday dinner out, avoid dishes and avoid pizza.

Always have to return food for some reason - temperature, etc

We go to this True Foods for all our special occasions or even just date night. For anyone that has dietary "restrictions", I highly recommend. No gluten, no dairy? No problem. This restaurant cooks food like you would at home, you can taste and see the ingredients and know there is nothing weird added.

Great meal. Loved that there were options for vegans and non vegans alike. The burger was amazing as was the lasagne. Desserts could use a little improvement, weren’t bad but weren’t OMG good.
Excellent service; good food; small portions, which makes it overpriced!
