I like True Food Kitchen for dinners I organize with people I don't know well. The menu is interesting, uses quality ingredients, and has something for every taste. It also has a healthy, friendly vibe. People who avoid certain foods will find something they can eat. Our waiter was excellent, which is especially helpful when I'm having a business dinner; I can't focus on the service when I need to focus on my guests. Thanks, True Food Kitchen!

I have been to True Food several times, which is why I wanted to celebrate my graduation there. At the last minute, our party size changed from 5 to 4 and I was unable to give them notice and appreciate getting a smaller table with minimal weight time. Our waitress didn’t introduce herself, so I don’t know her name, but she wasn’t very attentive. It was clear I had graduated, as I was wearing my stole and flowers, and had also noted it on my reservation. She didn’t acknowledge this at all. I got the poke bowl and it wasn’t very hot. My mom ordered bread, which she had to ask twice about and it didn’t come with butter. Our waters weren’t filled until we asked. I got the flourless chocolate cake, which usually comes too hot and it was far from. The chocolate inside wasn’t even melted. The table next to us waited a long time to get their food and I overheard our waitress mention they have a new chef who is getting adjusted. It was very empty for a Friday night, so we were surprised about the delay. Not a good experience overall, which was disappointing since I enjoy eating at True Food.

Hi Leah, we're so sad to hear this. This is not the goal at all. Our guests are extremely important to us, and we can't tell you how sorry we are. Please feel free to reach out and contact a restaurant manager. We'd love to learn more, and we'd love to make this right. We hope you have a great day, and we look forward to talking soon!

Great food, service and menu selection. I feel like so many chains have downgraded their quality or menu but not True Foods. Still wonderful! We loved sitting on the patio and our server was awesome!
