| - My visit to True Food was lovely. As I approached the entrance one of the employees was picking fresh basil from the front herb-garden-flower-box thing, and as my friends and I entered I saw the open kitchen area where people were cutting up fresh carrots and other veggies. The feeling of freshness was all around me with the hustle and bustle of the open kitchen, the easy, breezy, yoga-like attire of the staff, the high ceilings and the open windows. Our waiter explained the restaurant concept and told us about the menu as well as Dr. Weil's philosophy for food and health.
I decided to try their specialty drink, the cucumber refresher, out of curiosity. It was a cool refreshing glass of cucumber and honey lemonade. My friends and I decided to share the hummus as an appetizer. The hummus was delicious, although I would not dare to compare it to any authentic hummus/ pita plates. The amount of pita served with it was a bit insufficient for the amount of hummus. However, there was no problem getting more pita, the waiter graciously brought us more for no additional charge.
For my lunch entree, I ordered the sashimi tuna salad with avocado, cucumber, tomato, edamame & ginger, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was very light and fresh, as it sounds like it should be:) The flavor of the ginger complemented the salad perfectly and the dressing did not over power the other flavors and textures. My friends both seemed to enjoy their meals as well. I left feeling good and ready to return soon.
And return soon I did, this time with my boyfriend in tow. He eats a low glucose index diet and I was excited to take him to True Food because the food seemed so clean. When we arrived this time the service was very similar to my first experience but as we spoke with the waiter and my boyfriend explained the low G.I. diet, the waiter seemed unfamiliar with this concept. We asked him for some recommendations and he suggested the harvest chopped salad for him. I ordered the wild ahi sliders with wasabi, radishes, cucumber on pumpernickel. The sliders were fabulous! They were flavorful, perfectly seasoned with the wasabi, and seared to near perfection. My boyfriend's salad on the other hand, was less satisfactory. For one, the waiter didn't really understand the low glucose diet when he recommended the salad, which was a lot like a Waldorf salad, containing sugary fruits and such. Secondly, the salad was soaked with dressing, unlike the perfectly balanced sashimi salad that I had enjoyed there a week or so before. The salad was so wet that the greens were lost in there! I was very sad because I had such high hopes for his first True Food experience. I would still recommend True Food because overall my experience was good, but perhaps next time we will order our salads with the dressing on the side......eeep!
