The service and food quality were below acceptable standards. The waitress, who appeared to be relatively inexperienced, took our order incorrectly and seemed indifferent to her responsibilities. Additionally, the food quality was poor, which was particularly embarrassing as we had invited guests based on previous positive experiences with the restaurant.\n\nWe recommend that True Food Kitchen consider reinstating the manager Chris, whose leadership two years ago ensured consistent high-quality service. Under his management, the dining experience was always exceptional. Given the prices charged at True Food Kitchen, the substandard service and food quality during our recent visit were deeply disappointing.\n\nAs loyal patrons of True Food Kitchen, we have celebrated numerous important events there, including both of our daughters’ graduation parties, couple dinners, and a corporate event, all of which were superbly managed.
