    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.

    It was a super busy Sunday brunch, which created a challenge getting seated and order. The plates we ordered were no longer available. The food was very tasty (avocado toast, meatloaf and chocolate chip dessert) and our cocktails well prepared. Will try again at a less busy time

    Creative brunch menu on weekends. Shared the exceptionally delicious bison sausage pizza to start. The various entrees selected by our party all received enthusiastic thumbs up. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommended.

    The food was not nearly as spectacular as it has been in the past. Average quality, and very over priced for this average quality.

    Food didn’t come out hot. Mashed potatoes ordered with a hamburger was late. The food came out in spurts

    Our experience today was very bad. Normally we love this place, however today the food was not satisfactory. Despite discussing my allergies with my server and calling beforehand I found onions in my food. Everyone came back hungry after eating a whole meal themselves and some of the food was cold as well. Our server was doing his best, but he was too busy running around to too many tables and we were waiting around a lot.

    I like True Kitchen cery much. I have been several times abd always have great food and service. Today I was able to take my sister and niece to celebrate my sister’s birthday. I’ve always eaten outside and today was the first time eating indoors. The food, ambiance, and service was spectacular. It was a little noisier than what I like but it did not dampen our lunch. Out server Kat was great. She even gave my sister a free dessert for her birthday. True Kitchen has something for everyone! I love it.

    We ordered Edamame Dumplings, squash soup, seasonal squash pizza, veggie burger and Korean glass noodle. They’re just ok, nothing really special, plus so oily and salty, I wonder if this restaurant is really healthy. The only thing that’s worth it was the pizza, it was fluffy and freshly baked. If you come here you will get some typical American foods but nothing really healthy and special.

    Thank you for your feedback on our dishes, and we're glad you enjoyed the pizza. We apologize for the disappointment with the other items and will review your comments to improve our offerings.

    The food and service was great. Our server was excellent. I think it’s too noisy though. It was difficult to have a conversation

    Always a great place to eat. It's a beautiful setting with consistently good food. We were a party of 8 with 4 kids and the kids cleaned their plates. Thank you for being a terrific spot for our holiday season dinner!
