About This Location

Health-Driven Dining on St. Charles Avenue

The Central Business District location of True Food Kitchen sits inside The Julia @ Saint Charles, a mixed-use development at St. Charles and Julia. The dining room pulls locals and visitors from the Warehouse District, Garden District, and downtown offices for lunch meetings, weekend brunch, and pre-theatre or pre-Superdome dinners.

The patio is built for New Orleans' long temperate season and leisurely weekend meals. A private dining room seats up to 36 for celebrations or business gatherings, while the main dining room serves the full menu, grounded in seasonal, anti-inflammatory cooking.

“ Open, airy and welcoming environment. Edamame dumpling starter was tasty! The chef soup of the day was tomato soup which was thick but flavorful. The simple salad was delicious and fresh. Crunchy pita chips complimented my lunch. Everything was fresh and pleasing to my senses. ”★★★★★Kirstiemy · 3 months ago

“ The food was great!! At first, The initial waitress was nice but not too talkative and a little bit slower, for the very few people that were in there than what I expected or anticipated. When I asked to move from one side to another table. It took almost 10 minutes, if not longer for the table to be removed of a few glasses and napkins and, properly wiped down for the two of us to move over to a bench due to my leg injury. When the food came, everything was great!! From the amazing ginger drink that I had to the starter, which was amazing and we both enjoyed. We definitely enjoyed and had more to take home from our lunches. The second waitress, who attended to us was amazing. She had a great personality, very vibrant even though she said she was training, she is an amazing addition to the team! She took our final dessert orders, cleaned up the table, and did everything in an expeditious manner. the server was really nice, as well as the other staff members. Negative--- The bathroom definitely needed some attention, especially the mold and mildew that was behind the sink. For a restaurant that looked sooooo nice and beautiful, I was really shocked at the bathroom. Management definitely needs to pay attention to that! Ugh Seeing a used paper towel on top of a clean paper towel container was really gross. I tried to remember the amazing ambiance and the lovely colorful green furniture the artwork that was inside the restaurant to not take away from the bathroom, but is definitely a place that needed a little bit more attention, proper cleaning, new caulking and love just as the main eating area and the main restaurant. :-) As an interior designer, I have to speak up! Anesthetic is great. Beautiful Multi-state place with healthy food...but the tissue in the bathroom and dirty stalls killed the TRUE CLEAN feeling. 4.8 stars for 2nd waitress, food, space and ambiance. 1 star for the bathroom... I did refer friends to check out your Chicago location!! Thanks for having us! ”★★★★Raquel Welch · 3 months ago
