    Waitress was really patient and sweet. Food was good, as always. Sat outside to be able to talk which worked out perfectly. Didn’t rush us at all. Very enjoyable.

    The service was great as our waitress (Australian accent) was wonderful. We had a food allergy at our table and she was so great with accommodations for the allergy. Great food and can’t wait to come back again.

    For the second straight time we ordered a cup of soup and asked for it to be delivered BEFORE our main meal (lasagna…). Despite specifically telling our server this happened last time we were there, our soup came out with our lasagna. Sounds like a nit, but how hard can it be ? I sent the soup back both times. Thank goodness the lasagna is good, but it smacks of weak management.

    We apologize for the repeated issue with the timing of your soup order and appreciate your patience. Thank you for enjoying the lasagna, and we'll work on improving our service coordination.

    Salad was over dressed, salmon on top of it was good. Plant based burgers were good, side of sweet potato hash was barely warm. Squash pie was not good, sent it back, not charged for it. The waiter was good, and he said he would give my 92 year old mother a free desert, it was her birthday! She loved it! 😊!!
    True Food Kitchen - San Diego UTCResponded on 15 October 2024
    Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear your mother enjoyed her birthday dessert and that you appreciated the salmon and plant-based burgers. We'll work on improving the salad and sweet potato hash.
