   The Spaghetti Squash Casserole is one my favorites. I had it this time with their pesto sauce as a substitute for their delicious tomato sauce for a fun change. It was so amazing that I ordered another one to take home; and my spouse ordered one to go too.The staff here are great and very accommodating as well. We love coming to True Food Kitchen frequently for our date night!!

   Service was slow, though she was busy. It was a while before our server took our drink order. A good 25% of the menu was not available the night we were there. Do not go on a Sunday. We were a party of 6. It took a while for the food to come out of the kitchen. When it did, only 3 of us got our food. About 10 minutes later, 2 more came out. The 3rd (the easiest one of the bunch) finally came out 5 min after that. The entire table should come out all at once. This is the kitchen’s fault, and management needs to correct this. Not the first time this has happened here, even when it’s just the two of us. Server did not check up on us and never asked if we needed more drinks. The food is delicious. Employees need to get their act together.

   Our drinks took at least 20 minutes to get. The hummus was good, I’d get that again. My soup lacked flavor and the cocktails tasted watered down. When he finally brought out our drinks, we had specifically requested salt on the margaritas and there was no salt. When we was time to order dessert, we ordered a chocolate chip cookie with ice cream. They brought it out without the ice cream. The service was just lacking all night. We will not return.

   Hello Connie, looks like we let you down last visit. Although it's tough to hear, we appreciate it when our guests take the time to give us some feedback. Hoping you will give us another chance so we can replace this experience with a better one. In the meantime I've talked to the team about how we can better serve our guests with efficient service. Thanks again.

   Overall the experience was good. They just seemed understaffed which they said was due to OpenTable over booking reservations.

   True Food Kitchen is a great spot for fresh, farm-to-table food and drinks. The quality is always solid, and the menu has something for everyone. The service is consistently good, making for an enjoyable dining experience. The ambiance is one of the best parts—it’s bright, green, and has a half-outdoor feel that makes it super relaxing.
