I came with high expectations but left not really wanting to return. None of the dishes were memorable or something I would crave again. Pros: Ingridents and atmosphere Cons: Unclean tables, execution of dishes, and plating The ingriednts they used are fresh and leaves the gut happy. 🌱✨️ The atmosphere is nice - the only suggestion would be to not play songs with profanity considering there were toddlers and seniors around. 👶🏻👵🏻 The tables were deceivingly fifty... I usually wipe down tables for my toddler before sitting- and when I wiped this table...I went through more sanitizing wipes than a patio seated restaurant. 🫠 Hummus - It did not have a creamy, traditional taste but tasted closer to a heavily seasoned americanized dip. It's flavorful, but not a hummus. The pita(?) was also seasoned - the texture was too hard and not that enjoyable. SZA salad - I was excited for this one b.c. of the heavy marketing launch- but it was ok. Cucina's salads are more memorable and joyful to the palette! All Americna Burger - It's a burger. Teriyaki Bowl - It was too salty - I had to send it back with one bite. Seasonal pizza - The pizza dough was too dry and hard. The ingredients on the pizza (ex. butternut squash) were all bunched on one side of the pizza rather than being well spread out - so it wasn't to my surprise that it wasn't well cooked. (I'd understand if the restaurant was busy - but it was realtively empty-the dish felt rushed.) The ingriednts were beautiful- but the dish was poorly executed. Read less

True Food has been around for years. They are in every major city in the US - think of them as a fancy “farm to table” restaurant… I loved the one in Dallas back in 2017 - but this one is definitely my favorite - location - right between Whole Foods and The Big Newport - I had a whole date day, before flying out of John Wayne. I recommend sitting outside. Read less

Busy and bright place, good food with some healthier options. (I really liked their hummus) Staff is accommodating and efficient. Parking can be packed and a bit of a walk to empty spaces, but they do have a valet. Btw, they do not have french fries. (Was disappointing for the kiddos) Read less

If I could give this 10 stars, I would! The food was amazing; texture, taste, portion, & price! I left feeling 0 guilt and that is unheard of for me. The service was gold! Chloe and Nicole were so awesome, attentive, and accommodating. I went solo and sat at the bar and had myself a grand ole time. I had the Pineapple Spritzer, the Charred Cauliflower, Seasonal Salad with strawberries, pistachios, and thai basil dressing and Air Fried chicken, as well as the Passion Fruit Tart (also seasonal) with a Decaf Americano for dessert. The whole experience made my day! Thank you! Read less

Food and service were amazing! My husband and I ordered the Butternut Squash Pizza. It’s Vegan and something I would never think to try but glad I did. We absolutely loved and it’s on a sourdough crust! We also ordered the Mediterranean Hummus Wrap. It was excellent with a delicious dipping sauce. It’s also Vegas. It comes with two options of side salads however, I decided to upgrade to a small bowl of Mac and Cheese to try (not vegan) which was also very delicious. Didn’t order any drinks but they have lots to choose from. Aaron was our server. He was very friendly and gave great recommendations. Atmosphere is very nice with plenty of seating indoors and out.
