    We had a great birthday dinner at Fireproof with our college student and his friends. They enjoyed sharing a wide variety of tapas dishes then selecting an entree. Everyone was impressed with the variety of options and those of us in the group with food sensitivities greatly appreciated the waitresses/waters having allergen notices on their pad when placing orders (identifying if the item had any of the most common allergens in them) in addition to gluten free options being labeled on the menu. Good drinks, great food, classy, modern, spacious and clean with plenty of friendly staff. Everyone enjoyed it and plans to come back.

    Amazing dinner again! Anniversary We started our evening with an espresso martini and a dirty martini and the prosciutto wrapped mozzarella with the balsamic glaze so amazing! My husband had the scallops. I had the Seabass it was outstanding. He had Caesar salad I had the wedge with complementary crème brûlée for dessert. Our server was outstanding. He went above and beyond our favorite restaurant in Columbus.

    Wow! This is the best restaurant I have been to in such a long time. I wanted to eat EVERYTHING on the menu. The food, wine, and service were absolutely amazing!!! For future diners looking at this review, my only comment would be that you can't simply order from the menu as you usually would - a la cart style. Instead, you select a sort of 'journey' which represents how many courses you want to eat, and you make your selections accordingly. It's very hard to make choices because everything looks and taste so delicious, so settle into the idea that you will need to share with your dining companions or return again shortly after visiting :)

    Food was amazing! The butternut squash soup was incredible and the chicken Parmesan was so delicious I practically licked my plate clean. Service was perfect and the overall dining experience was top notch. I thought the overall value for this Valentines Day dinner was surprisingly reasonable. I will definitely be dining at True Food again! Thanks so much!
