Been to MCs many times. Food, as always, was fantastic. However, you are way understaffed. Our server was also the bar tender. Makes the service very slow. For a Tuesday night, that shouldn't be the case. Hope you hire more wait staff.

The food continues to be excellent! There was an issue with the wine service. We each ordered wine flights as it was Wine Flight Wednesday. The server brought out the wines, set them on the table in a cluster and we had to figure out on our own which wines belonged to whom, and what the wines were. Wine Flight Wednesday is a good idea, however poorly executed.

True Kitchen provided a unique dining experience for me. In search of something new in the Raleigh area, I discovered a gem. I enjoyed lunch, and both the service and the meal were exceptional. I highly recommend trying the Air Fried Chicken Tenders with Hot Honey sauce and the Kale Salad. Additionally, I suggest requesting professional server Alex for an excellent experience.
