“ This is one of my top 3 restaurants as of this posting. This place feels so good. The environment they are going for, I feel they nailed it. It's like openness, natural, modern, healthy, and clean as wrapped up in one. The staff were all super friendly. The silverware is Varick, the napkins are thick fiber, their bathrooms are stocked and clean! You can tell a lot about a place on house clean the staffs shoes & finger nails and bathroom are. The food was so scrumpditiliumptious! (DANE COOK). Their Brussels were coated in a savory sauce that I had to scoop up the crush of their sour dough pizza that was also delicious followed by their salmon which was also fantastic which was eventually followed up the their dark chocolate cake which was ALSO FANTASTIC! I bought more that I could eat. It's okay. I will later at home. True Food found really great combinations with the sauce-to-medium pairings. The meat, vegetables and desserts. They have been here since 2018 and for good reason. Amanda was our waitress. She was a bundle of pleasantries. She was super informative, helpful in explaining what foods would fit out cravings. Always with a smile. Keep our drinks refreshed. I personal was a fan of her shirt. On the back it read "Don't kale my vibe!" The water was fresh, the seating was spacious. The decor was natural and the bar was stocked and broad. I'm making this place a saved Default spot on my Open Table app. ”★★★★★John 13:7 · 3 months ago
