Another great meal at True Food Kitchen. We ordered our favorites -- skinny margarita, charred cauliflower appetizer, ancient grain bowl, and plant-based double cheeseburger. All delicious! Fast, friendly service too.

I recently had a fantastic dining experience at Trio. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. Our server was attentive and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The manager even stopped by to check on us, which added a personal touch. The food was absolutely incredible. The oysters were fresh and flavorful, and the lemon helix shrimp appetizer was a standout. For our entrees, we enjoyed the New York bison and the filet mignon, both cooked to perfection. But the true star of the show was the apple pie – it was hands down the best apple pie I've ever tasted! I highly recommend Trio to anyone seeking a relaxing, delicious, and memorable dining experience.
