   We visited for Pi Day since they were having a pizza deal. It was delicious! Service was a little slower because of the event but they were still very attentive, did not distract from the experience at all. Loved our drinks, loved the pizza.

   The food was good. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The cauliflower appetizer was great service is slow although that wasn’t bad we weren’t rushed and we had a couple hours to eat a lot of children so definitely not a place to go if you want a quiet night out with your husband Definitely a place more for families and kids at least at 6 o’clock at night on Friday

   The food was over-priced and underwhelming. The service was insanely slow even though they were not busy. Our drinks came to the table AFTER our food and were sickeningly sweet. Definitely not impressed.

   Food as always was excellent, but we were first shown to a room that clearly not been cleaned since the previous customers. There were scraps of paper and broken crayons littering the floor. We were given a different table with no issue. Our server was very friendly and had honest recommendations. We didn't mind a wait for our food to be prepared but would have appreciated less delay in taking the main and dessert orders.

   We were excited to try True Foods because of its commitment to healthy food. The lasagna entree was good, but the Buffalo tenders were dry and the red dipping sauce was way too hot, spice wise. Also, it took quite a while for a waitress to serve our table even though we arrived at 5:30 p.m. on a Sunday and the restaurant was nearly empty. In fact, a table that was seated after we came in was offered service several minutes before anyone approached our table. Even getting the final bill took a long time. I doubt we will return.

   The food was lacking in flavor. The service was okay, but not stellar. It was quite loud and conversation was difficult.

    I had a very nice lunch with my daughter. I had the Margaretta pizza with a nice crisp crust and was very flavorful. My daughter had the butternut squash soup which she enjoyed.
