Had the squash spaghetti and I must say the last time I had food this bland I was in basic training. Ever heard of salt? pepper? How about some herbs or spices...something because this just tasted like tomato paste. Only reason I wouldn't give it 1 star is because the staff was friendly and the service was good.

My wife and I went there for the first time on 28 Sept 2014 and had the Bison Burger with sweet potato hash (small cubes of sweet potato). I had to send the sweet potato hash back three times before they finally made it right, but by the fourth time, when it came out right, I had finished my burger and I believe that it should have been eaten with the meal so I said that I didn’t want it. The burger was alright, but the sweet potato hash had many totally torched cubes that were much too hard to chew (all three times). The third time a female manager (in training?) came out with the cubes and after seeing the charred pieces I said I wouldn’t accept it. She looked at me like, What’s the matter with you? So what if a few are black?, but said, ‘Do you want it fully cooked?’ ‘Of course I want it fully cooked, I just don’t want inedible pieces.’ She didn’t seem to understand why I wanted all my pieces to be edible. The Lemon Tart was delicious, though, with coconut whipped cream. Nothing was said to me about the burnt hash by management and I didn’t bring it up concerning the bill. Be that as it may, my wife and I went back the next night for dessert, the Lemon Tart. My disappointment and the reason for the two star rating is not about the burnt hash or the restaurant ‘overlooking it,’ but for what transpired the following night. I asked management to ask a woman who was nursing her infant at a table close to us, to cover her breast (perhaps with their restaurant napkin, which is a pretty white cloth napkin with color lines around the edges). The woman was totally exposing herself. I’m all for women breast feeding their infants, but in a modest and decent way in public. Management came over, Rolando (I think that’s what his name was). He told me that he would move us. I was surprised. What if another woman begins to breast feed her infant near my new table? Would he continually move my wife and me and not even ask the woman to consider covering herself? He insisted, though, that she had a right to reveal her anatomy, saying that the restaurant didn’t have a policy against it. Because of his smug combativeness and non-customer friendly attitude I don’t think that we will not return. It’s sad because the Lemon Tart was great and the waiters and waitresses were sparkling; really exceptional; very attentive, aware of our needs and wanting to serve. I pray that the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) have mercy on Rolando’s soul and show him his need for the Savior and that there is a difference between decency and lewdness.

The food is overpriced. It was very noisy. It needs sound absorbing material to help reduce the noise. The front doors were open the whole time we ate our dinner and we were very cold and uncomfortable. There were no provisions or chairs for the people waiting on a table. There was no place to even stand while waiting for our table, we were constantly in someones way and had to keep moving around. The chairs were not that comfortable as they had no cushions and were hard plastic. The waiters and staff were pleasant and friendly. The food was good.

I was so looking forward to having the tomato based soup with shrimp and white fish, as the dish I had about 6 weeks ago was absolutely wonderful. I was hoping to have the same delightful experience. Unfortunately, the dish has changed. Instead of having lots of shrimp and fish, it had corn and zucinni and was charged the same price - what a disappointment! Needless to say, I will not recommend it to anyone again or order it again. Can't understand why something great in the beginning has to be changed? Please bring back the old version.

With at least half of the tables in the restaurant empty we ordered food and waited an hour. When we asked how much longer the waitress told us it would still be a long wait and that the kitchen was backed up. We paid for our 2 drinks and left. They were churning out a ton of doordash orders and couldn’t halve cared less about people who actually came in. I have no idea if the food was good or not, I never got the chance to try it and never will. This place can kick rocks.

Burger was overcooked, barely any mushrooms on it. Veggies were so undercooked I had to cook them when I got the food home. Really upset I spent so much money on barely edible food. Wish I could get a refund. If you're looking for a better location of this restaurant. I had a better experience at the UTC La Jolla location.

I love coming here for as a healthy option for a dinner/night out. My husband and I went in hoping to eat a quick dinner before a concert. Confirmed open seating at the bar with the hostess and grabbed two seats. We waited 15 minutes - not one acknowledgment from any of the bar staff. There were at least 3 or 4 behind the bar. I was super disappointed. Walked out unnoticed.

If I could give negative stars I would!!! Terrible service! I’m so glad I did not give this place my money. Stood there waiting for someone to greet me or my husband for over 10 minutes. No one even acknowledged our presence. So rude!!! Glad we went elsewhere!

Could not even get the food while everyone else around us getting their food. We could see that they delivered our food to the table next to us, instead of apologizing, they tried to cover it. Had to ask for water 3 times. Won’t be back

i ordered the spaghetti squash dish. it came cold. it took longer to rewarm it than the original order. the services repeated "it'll only take a few minute", and "i'm sorry" didn't help. at least they didn't make me pay for it, but it was still a very unpleasant experience.

Went to true food kitchen yesterday during lunch time with some friends and the service was beyond awful. We were there for a few hours and barely got checked on. We had to keep ordering through someone else because our server was never around. He seemed annoyed whenever we would ask for something. And I've been in the industry- I get it you have bad days and sometimes are understaffed. The reason I am writing this review is the comment he made at the end when he picked up the check. We ended spending almost $400 for the time we were there and still tipped 20% even though we shouldn't of gave him anything. He said "really only 20% on $400?" We responded "Yeah you never checked on us" And then he laughed and walked away. The audacity this guy has is truly astounding. 20% is standard and the fact that he was expecting us to tip a dime more when he gave terrible service. He was lucky we gave him anything. Management- please look into this. That is unacceptable behavior. I wish I remembered his name but I can give you a description.

While working as a hostess, the management verbally harassed me and fired me when I tried to explain what happened.

It’s expensive for no reason. Bad food. Weird service. Small underwhelming portions. The panang curry was awful. My wife didn’t even finish her burnt flatbread. Just hit the food court if you’re in the area and save your money
