    Took a friend who had never been before, he was very impressed. Is going to come back for a Sunday brunch. Our server was absolutely amazing. She interacted with us and it made for excellent service. Very attentive yet gave us time to have an appetizer and social beverage before taking our order. Her name is Joanna.🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Waiter was outstanding, but food was only so-so because of need for no garlic for my wife. The cooks don't really have options if you ask for no garlic and just go for super plain, which ends up being flavorless.
    True Food Kitchen - PasadenaResponded on November 5, 2024
    Thank you for your feedback, Mark. We're glad to hear the waiter was outstanding, and we apologize for the lack of flavor in the garlic-free options; we'll work on improving this aspect.
