    The menu at all True Food Kitchens works for our family. It accommodates dietary restrictions, provides healthy options, and the food has been consistently delicious. This was true of our Santa Monica experience (and one that night in Newport Beach as well.) In Santa Monica, we had a time issue, and the service got us fed and out on time.

    Stopped by for a late breakfast and have to say the service was excellent. The food was colourful and delicious, recommend the farmers market scramble add avocado. My girlfriend had the Ranchers Hash which was also very tasty. Highly recommended
