    New menu is a huge improvement - I found 4-5 entrees that I could eat and enjoy, not just 1 or 2 like before. They cater specifically to the Cale-Baby Field Greens croud, but there were sufficient items for those of us who like just normal food to have a good choice.

    We waited almost 30 minutes after our reservation was to get sat. Once we were sat we were at an outside table with no heater on. We asked for the heater to be turned on and it never happened. We sat at our table for about 30 minutes and never got a waiter. After a lot of waiting we asked to be moved inside as it was cold and we had no waiter. We were able to move inside but service was still slow and we ended up barely getting out before the restaurant was closing.

    Food was so disappointing - not all guests served at the same time, temperature was cold, messy plating and several items on the menu not available.

    I always love going to True food at all different locations. Their food is always delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful. But this time it took a long time to get a table even though I had a reservation. The two hosts were having a hard time to let the guests sit. I don’t know the reason. Hopefully next time we come back, we don’t have to wait for a long time to get a table.

    They were out of ALL beef, ALL grilled chicken, pepperoni pizza, chicken Parmesan, etc. The missing beef and chicken eliminated most of the menu. My husband was very disappointed and settled for the cheese pizza. I had a salmon salad. The food was wonderful, our server was adorable, but our experience was not worth the reservation and time waited. Very disappointed.
