   Food quality and taste were very underwhelming. Avocado toast bread was too thick of a slice and not even toasted. Breakfast tacos weren’t tasting good either

   The food was so so this time . The wrap was really dry and hard . The waiter messed up my tea order for the wrong kind but offered to change it . The wrong salad came out for my friend but they changed it out Overall a nice experience

   It was okay the pesto pasta was good but the Asian chicken and Cesar salad was not good… the price for two drinks and two salads and one entree and the buffalo chicken appetizers- the appetizer was not good at all either… and it was not worth $104.00… for all that. The waitress was the very good and did her best and was on top of everything

   We used to eat here fairly regularly. Have not been in a while so we went tonight. Sadly the restaurant was just not the same as before. Almost empty- I can understand why- and it felt like we were in a big empty food hall…no ambience or cozy comfort. The food was awful. It tasted like it was prepared days ago and reheated. The happy hr wine was also terrible. We will never ever return. I predict this restaurant is going to die.

   Had lunch at True Food today and was thoroughly impressed! The service was fantastic—well above expectations—and every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. A truly enjoyable experience all around. Highly recommend!

   I used to LOVE True Food Kitchen. Visited a lot, supported them during Covid, and just went tonight after a long break. The restaurant and good service are the same, but prices are significantly higher, and the menu items that were a go-to (hummus and vegetable appetizer, edamame dumplings, kale salad) were far inferior. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be back to an old favorite.

    Good service and ambiance. The food wasn’t very or very good and neither of us finished our meal.
