    Service staff has always been friendly, professional, and timely. The food has always been great, although sometimes I feel that the prices are a little high. However, if I want a high-end cut of steak with quality service and atmosphere, I can depend on these guys to deliver.

    Signature cocktails were great and menu was full of interesting choices and combinations. The server did not mention the drink and dinner specials up front which caused some confusion when ordering. Alcoholic drinks were pricey.

    This was our Anniversary dinner. Had we had been to Original True Blue 2 years ago. This did not disappoint and was just as amazing as the first time. Chef Kevin and all the staff were 5 star just like the food.
