| - Seeing as it's January and I'm self-imposing a "healthy eating month" to counteract the damage done in December, I was really excited to try True Foods. I went with a couple of friends on a Saturday night, and although it was crowded, we didn't have more than a 20 minute wait. Most things on the menu looked great - when you're trying to eat light, you're usually limited to 2 or 3 of the more boring items on a menu. Here, I felt as though I had a solid selection that spanned from a few pretty innovative salads to low carb chicken and salmon dishes.
We split the edamame dumplings, and I got the sashimi tuna salad as my entree. Both were really outstanding. The dumpling wrapper was really thin and tasted homemade, and the accompanying broth/sauce had a hint of truffle oil in it - delicious! The salad had quite a bit of cubed raw ahi tuna with a light miso vinaigrette and some edamame and avocado. For $14, I thought it was a pretty good deal.
Although I really enjoyed my experience, I can see why this restaurant isn't for everyone. Portions are intentionally a bit smaller, and although healthy can still be really flavorful, it's not the same as the food you get elsewhere that's smothered in butter or deep fried. I would recommend True Food for vegans/vegetarians, people who want to go out to eat but are still looking for a healthy meal, or a girls night out. For large, pickier groups or people wanting a huge plate of food, you should probably look elsewhere.
