    Wonderful service!! Salmon was very good but barely any rice on the dish, and a screaming baby close by but hard to control that issue. 😂

    I love True Food though often find it a little pricey. But the food is healthy and delicious. However, we had the new lunch special with a wrap and half a soup or salad and a non-alcoholic spritzer for $19.95. The soup, salad and spritzers were very good but the wraps were underwhelming. Dry with a thick, hard whole wheat pita wrapping basically a salad, so I would not recommend them. We told our waiter and hopefully he expressed our disappointment to the chef. However, we will return as generally we are very happy with the food, service and ambiance, though both SD locations can be loud at times.

    Thank you for your feedback, Ann. We're glad you enjoyed the soup, salad, and spritzers, and we apologize for the disappointment with the wraps. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you back.

    What a fun little spot. The food was super healthy, but it did not sacrifice on taste. I sadly cleaned my plate! I only say sadly because I finished before the rest of our group so it was a little embarrassing. The sustainable salmon was absolutely delicious!
