Excellent knowledgeable server , unusual healthy food options.
Hi Blessed, Thank you for your feedback and we pride ourselves in sourcing healthy, sustainable and other items throughout our menu to cater to each guest taste buds and dietary needs. We are glad you chose us. We look forward to having you back soon.
The ahi tuna rolls were not fresh. The wrapper was brittle and very dry. The ahi had a very fishy taste.
Eccellent lunch
Great food. Front front patio dining area designed for COVID times (not covered) was not very aesthetically pleasing, but it was still nice to have outdoor space to eat. Loved the vegan options, especially the cauliflower appetizer and the key lime cheesecake!
HI Justmir, I appreciate your feedback as we navigate through the changes of new way of life. We are taking steps to improve the ambiance, comfort and of course visuals of such a large covid safe space we have. I look forward to your return and of course to see the addition of ambiance we will be adding to the patios.
Food and service was good!
Hi there thank you for your feedback ill be sure to share this with the team.
Our waitress was so helpful to me in choosing low carb options. I went with the tomato soup and roasted cauliflower, both delicious.
My friends birthday was wonderful food and personal service.
Hi Marsha, Thank you for your amazing review. Glad you were able to celebrate an amazing afternoon with us. We look forward to having you back for your next celebration.
Hard to find if you're not familiar with the area. Hostess was unable to help me find the restaurant when I called in. Food quality and value was good. A little too noisy for conversation.
Hi Greg, So sorry to hear that directions to our restaurant where not provided to you in more detail. I would love to discuss further with you. i will be sending you a private message.
Great as always. I really enjoy the desserts too. Shrimp tacos are the best.
So want to support our local restaurants as we claw our way back from Covid. True Foods makes it hard. My husband had the chicken mozzarella wrap. Tasteless. The "sweet
Potato hash" just cut up potatoes with a piece of onion. $16 for that??? My lasagne was so spicy I was drinking water all night long. And at $17 shouldn't it come with a small salad or vegetable? Sorry...price/value is out of whack. I get the food is healthy, but still...
Hi Lori, I am so saddened to hear that this was your lasting impression on a experience that should have been much more than the one you received. I would love to touch bases with you for more details. I will be sending you a private message.
True Food was great. Healthy fresh food plus awesome service made for a wonderful lunch. We sat inside and because there was only a limited amount allowed due to the pandemic, the tables were spread out nicely and therefore, the noise level was low even though they were busy. Definitely would go back.
Hi Deab, Thank you for your wonderful feedback on our safety protocols and of course your experience. We look forward to having you back for our Spring seasonal menu on April 7th.
My wife and I were looking for a place that aligned with the whole, nutritious food we prepare at home and TFK didn't disappoint. Everything was fresh, healthy and well-prepared. You may be wondering "how I really know" it was truly fresh and healthy. Well, your body responds differently to natural whole foods than it does when it consumes overly processed and "naturally flavored" foods. The former gives you energy and fills you up, while the latter tires you out and is engineered to trick you into eating more and more and more. TFK was definitely the former and not the latter. Good food should make you feel good.
Hi Andrew, Thank you for this amazing feedback and review. One of our main focuses is to serve healthy food to great people like yourself all while feeling good and enjoying a healthy life. We cannot wait to welcome you back for our next upcoming launch of our seasonal menu coming April 7th with some exciting new additions and returns of some fan favorites.
Went to dinner with another couple, we sat inside. Week night. Excellent for indoor dining. Food was excellent.
Thank you for your review and feedback Catherine.
Not our best visit. We normally love the restaurant and while understanding the problems of safety the food quality was much poorer than normal although I still loved the kale salad side dish. I had the tacos and the pickled onions were actually frozen which cooled the entire taco.
It was an anniversary lunch, and we loved it. Our server even treated us to some yummy desert!
It was even nice to have fewer people around us.
Food and drink were fantastic, as usual!
Hi Carolyn, Well we are super thrilled you chose to celebrate such an important and beautiful celebration with us. Glad we hit the mark with service and of course dessert. We cannot wait to celebrate your next milestone with us in the future.
Overall, just a great night. Our server was terrific; and the food was outstanding, as always!! I love having more than one vegan choice, when I go to a restaurant!!
Thank you Denise, We are so thankful and happy that we are your number one choice to come out and enjoy your vegan favorites. We look forward to having you back soon.
Everything was fantastic. Server was great, Food was great, Andre the Assistant GM was very welcoming and friendly..he’s the BEST!!!
Can’t wait to dine there again 👍😁
Thank you for your feedback on your visit with us. Ill be sure to share this with Andre and the Team.
Well spaced out tables and plenty of heaters.....food is good with medium sized portions. Good lunch spot.
I would recommend avoiding the GF lasagne if you do not care for exceptionally salty tasting food.
Hi There Dancing Weaver. I am so sorry that was the lasting impression on a fantastic dish. It is never intended to be salty by any means. I appreciate your feedback on the lasagna. I would love t discuss with you further. I will be sending you a private message.
Had a good experience. Would highly recommend. Took off one star because the table behind us was less than 6ft away.
HI Joni, Thank you for your feedback and review. We want you to know we take extra caution in making sure all of our guest safety is a priority especially in the times we are living in. I am so sorry to learn that the social distancing protocols we have in place was not exercised and practiced during your visit. We do a social distancing protocol walk through daily and will have that on our radar for more frequent walk throughs to ensure everyone feels safe and welcomed. Thank you again.
Best place for a fun and delicious birthday dinner
Lori thank you so much for choosing us to celebrate with!! Hope to see you again soon, thank you again!
Delicious seasonal food, attentive service and welcoming/comfortable environment.
We shared brussel sprouts, kale salad and margherita pizza. So many choices! There are also so many drink options that look good (alcoholic and non). Great for small and larger groups. Highly recommend, and I'll go back again too!
Hi Anne, Thank you for your feed back on your recent visit with us. Glad we hit the mark with you and your guest. I will be sure to share this experience with the team. We look forward to having you back soon.
I had friends from out of town take me to lunch for my birthday.
The teriyaki mixed grain bowl was extremely dry. Was not able to eat it. So we were still a little hungry.
The waiter did not specifically ask if we wanted dessert. We would have because it was my birthday and he would have made more money.
The ancient grain bowl was DELICIOUS!!
Hi Maria, Thank you for your feedback on your recent visit celebrating your special day. I am saddened to hear about the subpar service and quality of some of our fan favorite items. Id love to discuss further with you. Ill be sending you a private message. Thank you again for your feedback.
True Food Kitchen is doing a good job making diners feel safe, but their system for reading the menu on one's phone is way too complicated. After we'd struggled to figure it out, our server approached the table next to us and offered them paper menus, which we would have loved!! After that initial glitch, our meal was lovely.
Thank you for your valued feedback.
Very clean. Food is soo delicious! Service was fantastic and she was very friendly. They got our orders correct. Eat here frequently.
Thank you Valerie, I will be sure to share with the team your amazing review
Always fresh and delicious! Service is always good but the only issue i would have is with scanning menu and ordering issue on the menu app
Thank you for your awesome feedback!! As always it helps us continue to serve our amazing community by offerings and catering to their needs. The Menu scanning Menu is designed for limited contactless ordering and payment that we give our guest. We are happy to guide you through as well as offer the Original way of ordering with a paper menu as well at anytime. We look forward to having you back again soon.
Service was a little slow but food was outstanding per usual
Thank you Cecilia, Your feedback is what continues to help us strive for continued success all while providing the best hospitality in our communities. I am so saddened to hear that this wasn't the case on your last visit with us. I would like to connect and discuss further. I will be reaching out to you. Thank you again for your valued feedback.
Soooo amazing
Thank you so much for you awesome review!!!
Always great food!!! Our server was just awesome !
That's such great news!! We'd love to know who so we can recognize them for their hard work, have a great day!
Favorite place for a healthier food. Never had food that does not taste good here. Everything is fresh.
You're wonderful!! Thank you so much for the feedback and hope to see you soon!
The food is always good at True Foods. But the service was very poor this time. First no one came to take our order for atleast 15-20min. Then it took another 20 min to get our drinks and appetizers and more than an hour before we got our mains. They even forgot a couple of dishes which my kids had been waiting for which they brought right in the end. They were nice enough to not charge us for those dishes. Seemed like there was only 1 waitress taking orders in the patio area. I guess it’s the after effect of Covid. I hope the service improves.
I'm so sorry for the lack of service you experienced on your last visit in. It is not up to our standards and we dropped the ball. You deserve excellent service every time you dine with us and I know we can give you that if you'd be willing to give us another chance. I'd love to send you a gift card for you to use at your convenience and hope to hear back from you so we can arrange to send it to you. Thank you again for your feedback and patience. Amanda Crammer GM True Food Kitchen
Great and healthy food with wonderful options. I love trying the new seasonal
Options on the menu. The staff are great and the service was excellent. There were some loud protesters in the area by the restaurant toward the end of our meal but no fault of the restaurant I highly recommend this restaurant.
Jeanne, you're awesome - thank you!! Please come visit April 7th when our spring menu goes live!
It was so nice to finally get outside and experience outdoor dining once again. I have to give you all credit, the outdoor dining set up was impressive. It was sprinkling when we sat down but eventually cleared up. The staff were very helpful in moving heaters around as needed which we much appreciated. I do have to say the only reason why I set up only 4 tars is due to the temperature of the appetizers when they came out. I love the edamame potstickers and they were cold but definitely still edible. Thank you for all your hard work True Food. We will be back.
Jenron thank you so much for your loyalty and support. We're doing our best but I'm sad your dumplings weren't as amazing as they should have been. Hot yummy dumplings are the best! Please reach out so I can coordinate getting you a gift card to use for another order of edamame dumplings on your next visit. You can call the restaurant anytime. Thanks again!!
Made a reservation for Valentines Day. When I arrived they said they could not honor the reservation allowing us to seat inside the tent. We were seated outside with individuals who did not have reservations. Why take a reservation when it cannot be honored.
Hi Rafael, I'm deeply sorry that we were not able to accommodate your table location request on Valentine's Day. Unfortunately without the use of our dining room and only 10 tables on the covered patio - it left us short on excellent table choices. We should have communicated that better and I want to make it up to you. I'd love to have you back in for a dinner on us. My name is Amanda and if you'd call the restaurant I can set you up with a reservation. Thank you for your patience!
Valentines day
Thank you so much! Hope you and yours had a special day
This is a great restaurant. Dining outdoors in February can be chilly. The tent with heat lamps was perfect!
Terri I'm so glad you were comfortable with our set up! Hoping dine in will be approved any day now!
Good salad
Hi Diane, Thank you for your review on our amazing seasonal culinary creations. Glad the salad was a hit!.
Great menu with all had of choices. Very impressed with all the gluten-free options.
Hi Skat, Thank you for your review. We take pride in offering other options to all dietary needs.
For healthier food, it’s great with excellent flavor. Great service and well done in the social distanced environment.
Thank you so much!!
It’s great to be back! One of my favorite places to eat out! Ate there both Saturday and Sunday. Both times I had a reservation and both times I still waited over a half an hour to be seated. They need to work on that
Hi, Thank you so much for your feedback! We've worked out a new system for reservations that will help us keep everyone happy with the limited tables we have to offer - thank you for your patience and hope to see you again soon!
