Always delicious choices on this menu. Kitchen is thoughtful and skilled. Perhaps a little less butter and oil. Steak temp requested was medium and I got a perfect medium preparation. Dry January required a non-alcoholic beverage. Mocktail choices are plentiful. Beers not so much. I love Athletica brand beer but they only offered the IPA and I really don’t like IPA’s. No other non-alcoholic beers were available. Really one choice and it’s an IPA? I’m certain the Athletica distributor can bring the Athletica Pilsner. Please stock a broader variety of Athlectica’s. Noise? Yes the musak (90’s rock?) was too noisy for my taste. Our party of 4 wanted to talk to each other and didn’t need so much atmosphere imposed upon us by our hosts at True Foods. Service was great; knowledgeable, attentive and discretely in the background.

Clyde's is always good. Our go-to place. They changed the recipe of the shrimp and grits and that was disappointing. Everything else was tasty.
