    Glad we made a reservation, there was a 35 minute wait when we got there, since we had reservations we got in right away. We sat at bar, had great service got our food and drink right away. Vegan choices were great, squash pizza and salads.

    The menu at all True Food Kitchens works for our family. It accommodates dietary restrictions, provides healthy options, and the food has been consistently delicious. This was true of our Santa Monica experience (and one that night in Newport Beach as well.) In Santa Monica, we had a time issue, and the service got us fed and out on time.
