Our drinks took at least 20 minutes to get. The hummus was good, I’d get that again. My soup lacked flavor and the cocktails tasted watered down. When he finally brought out our drinks, we had specifically requested salt on the margaritas and there was no salt. When we was time to order dessert, we ordered a chocolate chip cookie with ice cream. They brought it out without the ice cream. The service was just lacking all night. We will not return.

Overall the experience was good. They just seemed understaffed which they said was due to OpenTable over booking reservations.

True Food Kitchen is a great spot for fresh, farm-to-table food and drinks. The quality is always solid, and the menu has something for everyone. The service is consistently good, making for an enjoyable dining experience. The ambiance is one of the best parts—it’s bright, green, and has a half-outdoor feel that makes it super relaxing.
