   We’ve been frequent visitors since this location opened. Saturday night was very disappointing. We had movie tickets and informed our waitress that we had only an hour and 15 minutes to eat. We ordered appetizers—dumplings and Brussels sprouts. The dumplings were, at best, lukewarm. Our super nice server returned to the table and told us the sprouts weren’t available. We ordered the charred cauliflower. 10 minutes later she returned to tell us that appetizer wasn’t available either. We wound up with hummus. We waited and waited for the main course—lasagne which obviously isn’t made to order. We were literally about to leave without eating when it finally arrived. With just 10 minutes left, we had to pack it up into boxes after a few bites. Our waitress was very frustrated with the kitchen and so were we. For $100 for 2–before tip—this wasn’t a good experience. Please do better True Food. When 2 appetizers are unavailable at 19:00 on a Saturday night—and there’s no offer to comp the third selection—something is very wrong. And, nobody should wait an hour for a dish that only requires reheating.

   It seems like the food quality is getting worse lately.

   I love this place. Excellent, healthy food choices. Wide menu that has options for everyone, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, Keto, etc. Xaria, our server, was a breathe of fresh air with a smile. Good recommendations and just the right level of attention during my business meeting. I would always love to get more for my money, but things aren't priced like they used to be any longer. My comment on their Value, was not a complaint as much as a commentary on the new normal of quality food options.

   We had a lovely waitress. I was pleasantly surprised to have several vegan offerings! Had the Ancient grain bowl with a tofu protein. It was very flavorful and delicious!

   I have dined at True Food Kitchen restaurants all over the country and the Fairfax location is the best. The greeters, servers, cooks, managers – they’re all outstanding employees. Whoever designed the interior of the Fairfax/mosaic restaurant should be complimented – the beautiful tree trunk display on the wall – incredible. Kale salads – always a pleaser. But the real strength of the restaurant are the delightful and consistently pleasant staff.

    Food was good! Ordered kids sundae for my son to end the meal and took almost 20 minutes to come out - and it was a simple cookie broken in 4 pieces and 1 scoop of ice cream. Would have thought it would be more for such a long wait!

    Thank you for your feedback, DaraStill. We're sorry for the delay with the kids sundae and appreciate your patience; we'll work on improving our service timing.
