True Food Kitchen

The ambiance was friendly, bright and clean. However the service was slow and very disjointed and they weren't even busy. For starters we received our drinks and appetizer before we even got our water, even after we asked. The worst part was the appetizer. They tout themselves on being able to accommodate dietary restrictions, so we ordered the edamame guacamole with gluten free pita. A different server brought it out and I tried to verify...it was NOT gluten free (glad I asked). And she proceeded to leave the plate there and say "I'll let your server know and she can deal with it!" WHAT? When our server finally came back (still no water) she said it was put in half and half and the gluten free half was coming. 1) we didn't ask for half and half and 2) no one specified and it could have led to a very uncomfortable situation had I eaten what I assumed was the gluten free option I'd ordered. No apologies. Finally lunch...very uninspired warmed flavorless cocktail shrimp topped my Mediterranean salad for an extra $8. Try a little seasoning or a grill for some sear. Anyway, for a near $100 lunch I would say pass! Update and amended to say the owner reached out personally to assure customer satisfaction and retraining of recently hired staff to ensure safety. Much appreciated.

We love True Foods because it has something for everyone, and a lot of heathy dishes. My daughter got the seasonal salmon that she says is always cooked to perfection. Its served on top of a pile of wild rice, and brussel sprouts with a sauce. I had a taste for the vegan double cheeseburger. Yes, even the cheese and mayo is vegan. I asked for grilled onions on it as well and thought it was great! The teriyaki quinoa bowl w/tofu is also another favorite of mine. The bar offers standard and seasonal cocktails and drinks, and if you can’t find a place to sit when it’s crowded, the bar also serves food. Because it was a nice night, most people were dining outside on the large patio, which does have a lot of ambiance. I was sad to learn they were trying to do away with non dairy desserts, the squash pie was a favorite of mine. Besides that, a shout out to Tommy, our fantastic waiter, who was not only helpful and attentive, but allowed us privacy to talk by not bothering us every 2 minutes. We love everything about True Foods!
