| - Come during off-peak hours! Great for vegetarians!
I've had mixed experiences at True Foods, which is why it was downgraded from a 4 to a 3. We came for Sunday brunch a couple of times - the food was great and the environment was nice. We had dinner one Saturday night around 8 or 9 - the service was horrible and the food wasn't cooked well. As in, the fish was completely dry and we were very disappointed in the experience.
We just went back yesterday for a late lunch/early dinner (4pm). We were immediately seated. We requested outdoor seating, which I immediately regretted when I realized it was still HOT in the shade even.
As an appetizer, we had the vegetable crudites - I highly recommend this appetizer. You can get the small or large. The small feeds two pretty perfectly. It comes with a house-made ranch and a house-made kalamata olive dip. Both are great!
As main courses, my boyfriend had the brown rice/tofu bowl and I had the TLT (tempeh, lettuce, and tomato). His was okay - had a bit too much orange flavor for our liking. The tofu was very chewy and seemed fried, even though our waitress assured us before ordering that it wasn't. The TLT was good - lots of tempeh. It appeared to be store bought (like fakin bacon), but may have been house made. The sandwich had lots of avocado, tempeh and tomato. It also came with a side order - half kale salad and half sweet potato hash. Both sides were okay. The sweet potatoes were under seasoned. The kale salad tasted a lot like coconut oil, which they must use as their rub. I mixed the two together.
Overall, the food was good. If I was feeling less lazy (which I obviously wasn't when I was going out to eat), I could make it all at home, but the meal was quick and easy and so I give my kudos to True Foods for redeeming themselves. Maybe we'll be back.
