| - I was lucky enough to dine at True Food as part of Arizona Restaurant Week. We went during the week, so it was full, but not too busy. This restaurant had to be one of the best deals for all of Restaurant Week. In addition to the three courses, we also received a hummus appetizer for the table and each of us received one of their Natural Refreshers. The hummus plate was delish; the refresher was okay . . . I liked my wine better. =) Our server was very nice and super knowledgeable without being pushy.
There were four of us at the table and we each ordered something different so everyone could try as much as possible. I am so glad we did this! My appetizer was the Smoked Salmon, which was great with the wasabi peas. The Summer Chopped Salad was delicious and so large it could have been a meal! I did not order the Edamame Dumplings because the description did not sound interesting to me, however when I tried them I was surprised at all of the flavor from one dumpling.
On to the second course. The Gluten Free Spaghetti was good, as was the Tofu Curry. The Black Cod was all right too. My Steak Tacos, on the other hand, were fabulous! Steak was perfect; the beans that came with it were ok.
Dessert was the best! We tried four of them; my favorites (in order) were The Banana Chocolate Tart (very rich, must share), the Apple-Cranberry Crumble (the maple ice cream really makes the dish), the Lemon-Ginger Frozen Yogurt (sweet, tart, and cold), and the Lemon Olive Oil Cake (very light, fluffy, and delicious)!
Not sure how soon I will make it back as it is not an easy drive for me, however if someone else is planning an outing, I would love to go!
