   Good experience, especially because we brought family last night and everyone was able to find something they liked. The OG refresher is amazing, and the hummus to share was outstanding. Everyone loved their entrees! Service stood out, our server was very knowledgeable of the menu, had great recommendations and was always present. Will keep coming back!

    True Foods has the best food and normally fantastic service. We had a server named Ria who made our luncheon miserable. No ice in the drinks, messed up our bill, poured iced tea and missed the glasses and ended up all over the table just to name a few instances. In addition, she had an attitude the second she came to our table, even met 80 year old mom commented on it. We frequent True Foods constantly and are regular customers. This is the worst experience at a True Foods we've ever had. Happened to be in the Tampa area visiting from south FL and although the food and ambiance was great, Ria wasn't!

    I've loved True Food in the past but the sea bass last night was overcooked and cold. (The side veggies were great, thank goodness, because I filled up on those.) Of six great meals, this is the second that was seriously lacking. I had the kale salad last time I visited and it was absolutely soaked in dressing. When I sent it back with a request for half the dressing (as I had originally ordered it), it still came back in a literal pool of dressing. Our waiter was very cute but forgot about us, perhaps because we were only one of two tables outside. The four of us waited a long time for drinks, three of which, by the way, he had to discover as we ordered them, they were "out of." So we had a little back and forth with him and the bar. Then we waited to order. Then we waited, far longer than usual for food. Not sure what the problem was; we actually thought he might have left from embarrassment, having to tell us repeatedly that our drink order was no longer available. Usually pretty good, this was a depressing episode as we were introducing two very close friends to the venue. Not sure they'll go back.

    The pace of food coming out of the kitchen was uneven. We ordered a salad, thinking it would be served prior to the main course. However, all arrived at the same time. This has also been our experience on several prior occasions. The overall experience was good. Prompt courteous seating, good service, and delicious food helped overcome the issue with pace. However it would have been either very good or exceptional had we been able to enjoy everything ordered.

    The food at True Food Kitchen is outstanding. For some reason the wait time for the food from ordering was excessively long and when the food finally came only 3 of the 4 entrees arrived…further wait. Good news is that our company and conversation was great and so was ultimately the food. This kind of wait was not my experience the 1st 2 times I visited so assume it was an aberration. Server/management made no attempt to make good for the long wait.

    Restaurant look very nice with a beautiful open kitchen set up. The food was just OK unfortunately maybe it was a bad night. The restaurant can be quite noisy inside. It’s a great location read the center of the new development. The appetizers were good but the main course was not. I had the Korean bbq steak, It was definitely not Korean barbecue. It was a steak marinated in teriyaki sauce it was a little tough and overcooked. It might’ve just been a miss that night, and to be fair I might give it a second chance.

    It was ok, in my opinion food was mediocre, appetizers too small and not spectacular for the price. I had Sea Bass for dinner, it was horrible- probably worst I ever tried. It was dry, and didn’t even taste like sea bass. After telling my waiter , he took it of the bill. Drinks were good though!

    So many issues! The bartender lost my friend’s credit card and finally found it after about 45 minutes. The manager was completely unapologetic and just plopped it onto the table like it hadn’t just caused my friend serious stress and inconvenience. The kitchen was out of so much food, including edamame dumplings and shrimp (every one of us ordered a bowl with shrimp and they told us after we had been waiting a long time for our food already). The fruit in the cocktails had gone rancid. It took us asking 3-4 times just to have water brought to the table. By the end, it was comical how much had gone wrong. I don’t plan on returning.

    Definitely a good concept but the execution was lacking. Overpriced for quantity of protein. Biggest issue Is that this is supposed to be a healthy concept but they serve farmed shrimp instead of wild caught

    I’ve been to True Food quite a few times now. Was very excited for this Tampa location to open up. Unfortunately, the wait time for drinks from the bar was very long. As well as the wait for the food. The server was very nice, but never asked if we wanted a second round of drinks. Pretty disappointed with my experience at this location.

    We had lunch on a Saturday and sat outside. It was our first experience and we were all very pleased. Raja was our waiter and he was friendly, informative and attentive. I tried two cocktails- the skinny margarita and the rose sangria. Both were very refreshing and enjoyable. The food was super delish! Hubby had the curry, daughter had pancakes and I had a variety of appetizers- cauliflower was so flavorful. Tortilla soup was packed with flavor. But edamame pot stickers were not my favorite —the garlic was raw and overwhelming for me. But overall, the food was So good, in fact, we all ordered entrees to go for our dinners that night! We highly recommend !!
