We have had nothing but great experiences dining at True Blue. Ely, the manager, goes out of his way to make sure we are accommodated and we are lucky to get Emma as our waitress. Smash burgers are fabulous! Fresh and flavorful, always displayed beautifully on the plate!

Clair was an excellent server and Eli engaged us in an interesting conversation. I appreciate the bartender making my wife a cocktail, but I would like to see the restaurant carry at least one kind of non-alcoholic wine; preferably white or bubbly.

We were greeted warmly, Flower waited on us very attentively and we were never waiting on her. The cauliflower soufflé was awesome. The filet I had and the burger my wife had were both great. Very delicious and well presented. We also enjoyed the wedge salads. Thanks for a great experience !!!
