    Appetizers were really flavor full. Cocktails need some work. Entrees leave a lot to be desired. Food was dry. A basic hamburger should still have some flavor. Meatloaf was u recognizable as meatloaf and very dry as well. Ambience was nice and staff really very friendly and helpful. Given that there are so many options in close proximity they will need to up their flavor game to compete.

    Thank you for your feedback, Annette. We apologize for the issues with the entrees and cocktails, and appreciate your comments on our appetizers, ambience, and staff. We'll work on improving to better meet your expectations.

    I loved the openness and light at True Food Kitchen. I very much enjoyed the cocktail I had (Blood Orange margarita) and the crisp chicken tenders either kale salad. The chicken is air fried, so lighter than fried, and with great crunch and flavor. The kale salad was really delicious. My husband had a glass middle bowl that he said was very good too. We will definitely go back.

    The place looks like fast food cafe. The food was not great, bland and dry. Our server however, was very pleasant and caring.

    The restaurant was extremely cold. The hostess agreed and commented other guests felt the same way. Kale salad dressing had no flavor. The pasta was overcooked (soft and pasty). Lasagne was dry (hard noodles) a very small portion and too much sauce to compensate. Bella gave us great service! Your restaurant was half empty on a Saturday night at 7:00??

    Highly disappointed that they took their homemade chips off the menu and now are using ones out of a bag. Also, they don’t have a great red wine organic selection and the one I wanted they were out of which was sustainable. They need to make sure they don’t get so corporate and commercial and move away from being True Food.
