    Unfortunately, our experience at the Chicago location did not live up to our previous experience at True Food Kitchen in Naples. Very paltry portions and not made with care. Service was not attentive and the place was almost empty. It was so disappointing because we appreciate the concept and were excited to return. We are willing to pay for a meal that is fresh, healthy, and abundant, but it's sadly not what we got.

    Excellent service, spacious venue, and loved the variety on the menu. We have many food sensitivities and love to eat clean whole food. Everyone in our party of 6 was happy with their food! This never happens.
