Wow! My wife and I are always looking for something different and not a cookie cutter restaurant like so many in the area. The menu was very eclectic and so very well thought out. The service was impeccable and no detailed was left out. Now back to the food, we started out with the salmon belly! 10/10, the main course my wife had the seafood stew I did the wagyu flat iron steak. 10/10 on both! Then dessert we did the chocolate bread pudding and the pumpkin cheesecake. There was so much thought into the desserts. Spoke with the owners and they were so very pleasant and appreciative that we took time to come in and eat at their establishment. We’ll be back soon

Sat at the bar. Al, the bartender had excellent recommendations from the old-fashioned to the burger to the salad. She was very helpful. Had a great time.

We had been before at the restaurant for Sunday brunch and we loved the food. But this time around we decided to try dinner menu and it over delivered our expectations! We had a 3-course menu and everything from service, atmosphere, drinks and food was excellent! The star of the dinner for us was the duck jambalaya, you get to try duck sausage, breast, crackling skin, patê. I mean once you find a restaurant that knows how to cook duck properly you have to stick with it (IYKYK). Also, a shout out to our server Samuel J, top tier service, he made sure we had a great experience and that we would made it on time to our cap’s game.

We dine at True Food Kitchen when we get together as extended family because the menu accommodates our family's varied tastes and dietary preferences. We especially appreciate your commitment to offering animal-free options, including several bowls, pizza, a plant-based burger, and the ability to add tofu to salads and bowls. We would love to see you build on these offerings by expanding your selection of animal-free options. Also, the service was great.

My friends and I met here for dinner and the food was great, and season well. We all loved our food. I thought to tuna poke was salty and too little chips but it still tasted great.

    The food is amazing! It's creative, interesting, beautifully-presented and most of all, delicious. We enjoyed the Australian Bass and Scottish trout as our main course selections and both were wonderful. Our server, Michael T., was friendly, professional, and attentive. The wine selections were great. The ambiance is very nice. Tables are nicely spaced and the noise level is low so you can converse easily. I would highly recommend this restaurant
