| - Crazy night I had trying to figure out how to spend my Fox Restaurant $25 gift card. I wanted to go to Blanco, but it was packed and I didn't want to wait. Olive and Ivy was the same story, so I decided to head back into the city almost forgetting True Food.
I was the only one at the bar, and the bartender was extremely friendly and helpful. Didn't hurt that she was gorgeous as well, but that is besides the point completely. The whole restaurant is distinctively Sam Fox with the raw woods, bright colors, and really unique lighting. I hit the bathroom right away and that was the coolest part of the restaurant (I'm a sucker for neat-o bathrooms since I'm working on a remodel of mine) with the water-free urinal and Dyson Airblade hand dryers. I'd never seen those things before, and I must say they are the first air dryer that I have ever found to be worth a crap.
I ordered the Ahi Tuna Sliders, which were unbelievably delicious, and at $13, not a bank breaker. They came with a Sweet Potato Hash that was great as well. The Hummus was also phenomenal, and probably the best I've had in quite some time. The menu featured plenty of organic, vegan, and and vegetarian offerings as well as some boutique wines. I never knew there was a type of wine that was both organic and sustainable using recycled products. There was a lot of thought that went into the menu here and I think they should be applauded for it.
The restaurant is instantly one of my favorites, from the list of $20 bottles of wine, to the awesome food, to the neat-o restrooms and the spot on service. Everything about the place screamed greatness. $31 for 2 beers, an appetizer, and an entree is very reasonable in my book, especially considering the quality. If you're looking for a big filling greasy meal, skip true food. If what you want is a healthy, delicious meal that won't leave you feeling like a fat grease-ball, eat here and be happy you just found your new favorite Biltmore restaurant.
