   Very good menu. Hot food was served at a great temperature. The raspberry lemonade was flavorless. Other than a disappointing selection of beverages, the meal was terrific. Plan on water!

   Service was poor. Initial visit to table was delayed. There was confusion about how to order - via server or via phone app. In the end all orders were made via the server, but half the table received their main courses a full 10 minutes after the other half, which was completely unacceptable.

   Beware if you order a cocktail other than what’s on the menu as we were charged $5.50 for a “premium” brand bringing the cocktail to $19.50 more than my entree and cocktails at some Mitchlin rated restaurants. Not worth it. Will think twice about returning.

   Delicious food, diverse menu so our group could go in different directions and all be happy. It is on the noisy side and of the two types of chairs they have, one is very narrow and not comfortable unless you are narrow too (they politely swapped for me). Happy to go any time.

   Food took over an hour, and the place didn’t seem particularly busy. Maybe they were getting slammed with delivery orders? Either way, no apology from server or manager, and food was edible, but nothing noteworthy. Won’t be back, which is a shame because we live literally across the street.

    True Food Kitchen is a great restaurant if you are looking fresh, organic ingredients in interesting dishes. My choice of the sea bass with roasted mushroom & charred onion, was a good one. The ancient grains, dashi, and herbs were an excellent accompaniment. My friend had their favorite Spaghetti Squash casserole. Along with a couple of Bourbon & Blackberry craft cocktails we definitely enjoyed a our dinner.

    Food is excellent. I had the chopped salad with tofu. My friend had the lasagna bolognaise. It was a beautiful day and we sat outside. The hostess seemed harried (not just this visit), and the service was spotty. Not bad, just not great.

    One of our party ordered a Korean Steak entree. The pictures in the menu showed it sliced and rare. The server did not ask how it we wanted it cooked and it came very well, totally overcooked. We also ordered two cocktails at $14 each. They came without the garnish of a raspberry shown in the pictures getting us to order them. The server said she forgot the garnish, but then walked off. At a normally priced place, I might not complain about these things, but True Foods charges high end prices for average service and product. I do not intend to go back.

    I have eaten at 2 other True Foods. This one was a huge disappointment. My food was not hot enough and the vegetables not fully cooked. I sent both dishes back and they still were not correct. I'm a vegan and I love True Food but won't go back to the Arlington location again.

    We really enjoyed the roasted caulifolwer and edamame guacamole appetizers as well as our dinners - all vegetarian bowls. The only flaw was the excessive saltiness of the teriyaki bowl.

    We thought that on Easter with an advertised brunch that it woud be treated and setup as such - instead there was loud bongo music so it was hard to hear each other talk - really really impacted our meal there negatively.

    Just returning from a lovely brunch. We had no trouble getting a reservation and the pleasant hostess seated us promptly. Our server described menu changes and we were all happy with our orders. I think my kale salad was one of the very best I’ve ever had. I didn’t love to shrimp that was served with it but that’s ok. My friends enjoyed two brunch bowls, all with healthy ingredients. The atmosphere is bright and relaxing. The book wall art is a favorite! Thanks again…

    This True Food Kitchen is on the noisy side. There should also be people to back up the servers better. Our server dropped someone's food, and she had to clean it up, thus taking her attention from the tables she was waiting. It seems something weird always happens when we are at TFK. This time the fire alarms and flashing lights went off. Staff said it was nothing to worry about, but it went on for some time. DO NOT order margaritas here if you like nice classic margaritas. The ones they make are not those. Other than that, if we are dining with a vegetarian, we would probably still choose TFK.

    Loved the food and service, but the noise level was excessive. Like many restaurants, True Food Kitchen's design - open/exposed ceilings, too open floor plan - results in way too much noise and diminishes the experience.
