Servers take too long to attend. Not sure if you are ignoring you or if they really don’t know you’re there waiting for them.

True Food Kitchen is one of my favorite places to go. But last night was not one of my favorite experiences - ordered the Salmon and it was overcooked. Very dry.

The Food is Always Delicious the Service was poor. It was Cold in both places we were seated . The Bathroom was Freezing. I ordered desert and my waitress Ashley joined a Group with the manger and was eating food while talking with him. I asked someone else to bring my cake. I showed her a bug on my table and had to remind her to tell the manager . He dashed into the bathroom looking at his phone. The dead bug still on table. True Kitchen has Changed. Unfortunate because it's a lovely Space ( Now Freezing) with Good food & Poor service.
