    We had a great time and delicious dinner! Our server, Jacob, was exemplary and patiently walked us through the menu, the courses as they came and was so friendly. I highly recommend ordering the Big Night Out Dinner for 2. We had 3 people in our party and still had leftovers of the main course. Surprisingly, the salad course is not one to miss. My California salad was so good! My favorite course was our banana foster fondue with all the dippers. The whole experience was so fun!

    This was our first time dining at True Blue and our belated New Year celebration. A great way to kick off 2025. Everything was excellent. I had the Pretty in Pink cocktail , we split a shrimp cocktail, roasted potatoes and the oh so wonderful cauliflower soufflé. We both enjoyed the 6 ounce filet - cooked perfectly and had a great flavor! We finished with coffee and tried both the carrot cake and lemon police cake - both were very good. Service (Andrea) was helpful, attentive and very pleasant. Would highly recommend this restaurant for those special occasions.

    Food was great and service was excellent. Server suggested the Catch of the Day and it did not disappoint. We were a party of 5 and had reservations but some tables were available. Would recommend to anyone. Parking was easy- across the road.
