True Food is BIG mood!
I came here for a Saturday brunch and I'm glad this place delivered on its promise.
Located in the KoP mall district, there is plenty of surface lot parking available. I found this place relatively easily following the GPS which is nice since I find myself always circling in that area.
Inside it's open concept, with a large bar that anchors the center and seems to be the watering hole for patrons and employees alike. There's lots of natural light, soft colors, and plenty of greenery. There's a covered outdoor space as well as indoor dining available.
I had made a reservation on OpenTable for 12:30PM and when I arrived our table was ready. It looked like the lunch/brunch bunch was just making their way in since though it looked pretty empty in the main dining space, it did fill up during our time there. Of note, the outdoor seating was fairly packed upon my arrival - al fresco dining is poppin'!
We peered through the new spring menu and there was plenty of great options! I love when the menu has plenty to choose from as an almost vegan. There was a solid cocktail and mocktail menu as well - heyoooo! After speaking with the waiter, I went with the vegan teriyaki bowl, my guest chose a cauliflower polenta, and we also ordered avocado toast (because brunch.)
We also chose to order some mimosas - they had seasonal twists and my grapefruit and pineapple one was a solid!
The food came out soon after ordering and I definitely worked up an appetite. I have to say the flavors were on point! Well developed, great texture, my teriyaki bowl was not overpowered by the sauce, and the polenta was the perfect temperature to readily enjoy!
The portions are a bit small but I still felt full after finishing my dish. Given the use of fresh ingredients I'd say the pricing was par for course.
The waiter was great, checking in on us plenty and even made sure our table would be properly covered since his shift had ended before we had finished our meal.
I'm definitely looking forward to more trips here, especially since the menu is seasonal - it'll be an adventure every time!
