    Service was not up to par. Very surprising as we have had nothing but stellar service, great food and great value on all other previous occasions. Still, recommend you give it a chance.

    Worst meal we’ve paid $100 for in a really long time. The food was truly terrible. No flavor. Soggy. Cold. Overcooked. Simply awful.

    Our only complaint was how quickly our entrees came out after our appetizers, probably about 5 minutes later. I was having another spoonful of my cup of soup when our server brought our entrees. My cup (not a bowl) was only half finished - that's how quickly the entrees arrived. Our server took them back, and eventually took my wife's entree off our bill because her steak arrived about luke warm. Our server said our entrees were refired. We did enjoy the food, but it's surprising that True Food would make a "rookie" mistake with the entrees. Also, the noise level is very high, probably due to the open hall and hard wood ceilings.

    Thank you for your feedback, Ted. We apologize for the timing of your entrees and the noise level, and we'll work on improving these aspects to enhance your dining experience.

    One of my favorite restaurants! Reliably good wait staff and delicious food. The one complaint I have is it's always LOUD in the restaurant. We eat outside all spring, summer and fall to avoid the noise but in the winter the indoor dining room is our only option. For me, the noise level is so disruptive and uncomfortable that I'll think twice about going back before the outdoor dining reopens.

    Thank you for your kind words about our wait staff and food, Tamara. We apologize for the noise level indoors and will work on creating a more comfortable dining experience for you.

    Had a great experience! Our waiter Dominick was awesome. He was very attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. My husband and I were there to meet a friend who is in town so it was wonderful to have so many options, something for everyone. Dominick gave great recommendations in which I selected the seasonal chicken piccata with spaghetti squash. Unfortunately, the squash was cold, and he immediately fixed it by bringing me a whole new plate. I didn’t expect that, only expected some fresh spaghetti squash so now I have leftovers and will enjoy them for lunch today. My only issue was that it was a little chilly in there, but it was snowing out and I tend to be cooler than others so I just kept my jacket wrapped around me. The location of this restaurant is not close, but I’ll be sure to go back and see Dominick again !

    We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience and that Dominick took excellent care of you with his attentive service and menu knowledge. Thank you for your kind words, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon, despite the chilly weather!

    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.
