They seemed to be out of a few things and there was some confusion about the food and drinks. The food was good and our waiter was super. He kept us happy regardless of things that were out of his control.

Normally, True Food Kitchen is my absolute favorite place to eat, and I tell everyone about it. But our attempt to enjoy dinner there on 5/5 was thwarted by the fact that we were never given the opportunity to order entrees, despite the fact that four of us were sitted at a table for an hour. In the staff's defense, it seemed there was only one server on duty. But it would have been nice to be told this and given the option to stay or leave. It took a long time to get two of the four drinks we ordered, only to be told that the other two weren't available. We ordered the guacomole special as soon as we were sitted, but never got it. We did receive one other appetizer (charred brussel sprouts), which was delicious. But the waitress, as sweet as she was, never came back to the table to take our order. After we saw her busing a table next to us, even as we sat still with menus on our table, we asked for the check. We had been there over 50 minutes at that point. So we paid our $70 for three cocktails, one beverage and one appertizer, and went down the street to another restaurant for a proper meal and proper service. Highly disappointing. No apology. No acknowledgement that we had been forgotten. June 25, 2025 update - I'd like to update these remarks to note that we returned to the restaurant June 21 for dinner, and the experience was great. We enjoyed it as much as we have over the years. Teddy took exceptional care of us, and the food was good (the caulifower app was great; we also had vegan veggie burgers and the choc chip cookie ala mode dessert). So glad to know things are back on track at the restaurant.

Ambiance is good. Well-lit, colorful restaurant. Lasagna was served cold. We requested no sauce on sandwich but it was served with sauce. The restaurant was not busy at all on a Saturday night.

An interesting restaurant with a unique menu. Prices are reasonable including wine. The pizza and meatloaf were good. However, We were disappointed that six items including three entrees were not available.

I usually enjoy two food kitchen. That is why I suggested it to my friend to have brunch however it was not the best experience our reservation was for 10 so maybe because it was just opening the waitress seem to be a little overwhelmed but nice she was forgetting things. Something was going on with the grill. They had a hard time with my pancake and I found hair in my food as well as the coffee which I pointed out and they did comp the pancake, but not the meal. It was just disappointing and not the usual so I’m not sure what’s going on
