Peri Peri Chicken (seasonal) Sweet Potato Chips Tender Plate
Meredith S.

Popped in here for lunch after shopping. Service was very friendly, but a little slow. Food was very tasty! Perfect fresh light meal and the overall vibes of the restaurant match.

Risto K.

I love this place! Yes it is a chain but I feel staff here goes above and beyond to please customers! Perhaps my luck is such since Sebastian has been serving me every time and it has been just great every time!!! I am partial to Ancient grain bowls, Tuna Pome Bowl, Guacamole and Hummus. However - everything I had here was great!!! On top of it all - located in Avalon - location is good and spacious!!!!

Organic Tuscan Kale Salad, VEG
Carmen H.

My husband and I dined at True Food Kitchen while shopping in the area. We opted to sit outside, but they also offer indoor seating. Jasmine was our server and she was great! She was super informative, helpful, and kind. We were pretty hungry, so we ordered right away. We ordered two Sparkling Prickly Pear Tisanes, the organic Tuscan kale salad with blackened shrimp and the teriyaki quinoa bowl with blackened shrimp. Everything arrived promptly, and it was fresh and delicious. From the service to the food, we enjoyed our dining experience. We look forward to dining here again!

Chinese chicken salad with salmon
Tom M.

I will be concept behind true food and have been there a few times at different locations. While I generally have a decent experience at this particular one in the Avalon, I don't think I've ever had any occasion where it was consistently above. On this late Thursday evening, it was not very crowded and I got seated promptly. The server was friendly and brought my water over pretty quickly. I had to flag her down in order to order my salad and specifically instructed her how I wanted my add on salmon to be prepared. She agreed and seemed to understand, but the food was delivered with the salmon way overcooked. While they did attempt to rectify the situation with a replacement, the replacement was just slightly better and still overcooked, but I did not want to complain again. And she seemed preoccupied since I had to flag her down again just to get a refill of water. It seemed to take forever to even get my final check which I had hoped to have sooner so I could beat the impending storm. Unfortunately, she took so long that I ended up having to navigate a downpour afterwards. The salad was very unexciting, although the ingredients seem to be very appealing. Unfortunately, the chicken was really dry as if it had been sitting around for quite a while. With the restaurant being so empty, and several staff just hanging around, I'm very surprised at the lack of hospitality and food quality. Definitely so many choices that would be better considerations in this area.

I love that True Food focuses on quality ingredients and has a lot of gluten free options. I believe they also don't use seed oil, which is a huge plus! They also have a patio which is fun for a nice day. Unfortunately, when we visited today, the service was extremely slow and our server did not check on us at all so we had to flag him down to let him know that our steak arrived cold and raw in the middle. It took such a long time to get the steak to the table, we didn't have time to wait on them to try and put it back on the grill or make a new one so we just asked them to take it off the bill (which they did) and then we left. It was strange because the outside seemed medium but the inside was raw! My sister had also ordered a dessert, the carrot cake, and after waiting 20 minutes for it she gave up also and decided to just check out and leave.

Tuna poke bowl
Yvette M.

Met a friend for dinner- she is vegan and I was not eating meat on Friday- so plenty of items to choose from on the menu. I got the tuna poke bowl which was good but small portion for what it cost. Also I ordered a green tea and took a while to get it and then the wrong drink came. They were quick to bring the correct drink. It was busy on a Friday night so glad we got a reservation. So if you have various dietary requirements, give them a try. There are several locations.

Plant base burger with kale salad and grain bowl with grilled shrimps
Chizuko I.

Eve. Some of reviews are not so kind, we decided to give a try after looking through their menus. We had great food and service. Not so Kale fan husband really enjoyed their kale salad. My bowl was excellent! We will be back for sure.

Jambalaya Pasta
Ken S.

My wife and I ate here for the 1st time yesterday. She had the OG Juice with the Lasagna and I had the jambalaya pasta. Both were just OK, not bad but nothing special. The best thing was her OG juice which is ginger, lime and honey. The staff was fine and inside was clean. We were hoping for more but will return and try other items in hopes of a better culinary result.

Spinach & Mushroom Pizza
Dave B.

We had two gift cards to use at Avalon today and we really enjoy True Food Kitchen. We FINALLY found a parking spot and made our way inside. It was early in the lunch hour and we were seated right away. Reece was our server who brought us water just after we sat down. We had pizza on our mind and found a new entry for Spinach and Mushroom which we ordered. It was amazing and did not last long ! We will be back for that selection again when nearby. Reece was awesome. Lunch & Beverages & Tip was $32.

Spinach & mushroom pizza

I've previously really liked True Food Kitchen but either it's gone downhill or we all ordered poorly, except my 6 year old who had cheese pizza. Hers was definitely the best. I had the seasonal sourdough butternut squash pizza & my husband had the spinach mushroom pizza. Neither had any cheese aside from dollops of ricotta on top, so all of the toppings fell right off. Neither had any flavor. At the very least they needed some salt. Mine could've done with some kind of herbs or a balsamic drizzle or something. They both just sounded much better than they were. My other daughter had the kids burger, which was decent, but the fries weren't even edible. They tasted like they'd been sitting out for several hours. For a kid to not even eat fries is bad. I like that they have healthier options but it was all just bad today.

Happy Hour Menu
Jessica G.

True Food is a place that just feels special and unique when you walk in. I love the ambiance and warmth of the space. It was very busy when we went during the holiday break but we were seated quickly. Service was not bad and considering how busy they were, our server was really all over the place and moving the entire time. Our meal came out quickly and everyone was satisfied with that they ordered. The portions are on the smaller side. I do think it's a little pricier than the average place but it felt like a treat eating there and my mom loved it, which was all that mattered.

Kale Aid
Kris A.

After seeing Megan 2.0 on a double date (which is really good by the way lol!!) we invited our friends to come to True Food which is their first time! It was a really great time with Jael taking good care of us. I mean REALLY good care w of us! She felt like an extension of family and gave great suggestions for food which our friends appreciated very much. I had the Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl with tofu and a kale aid. While I didn't have the old fashion (our friend did), he said no one else had gotten it right like this except for here. It was also super cool to film lol!! My partner and I are a regular, so we're married to the place

Margarita Pizza
Kaelyn C.

Came in for lunch on a weekday and were sat immediately. Decided to try the sourdough margarita pizza. It was really good, the crust was nice and chewy and sauce was a bit on the sweet side. Service was pretty quick with a friendly staff. The restaurant was very clean, same with the restrooms. Great place to come for a quick lunch

He also informed us that food was made from scratch and the ribs were already sold out! Bummer as that would've been a go to choice! The restaurant it self seemed cleaned and a sleek look to it. We chose 2 fried chicken meals and steak and frite. These dishes were to brag about 100%, wish I could've met the head chef and supervisor on shift to let them how wonderful the food was and that the staff have great personality and professional! This chicken meals were beyond what could've fool me as a homemade chicken made by someone's grandma! The steak was cooked to perfection that could've melted in your mouth. Due to my son's birthday, the server offered a complimentary dessert for him to have! I recommend this place or their other locations 10/10!

When my friend arrived and time to be seated, she guided us to our table, laid down the menus and walked away before we ever sat down, no words. We went to leave. She never acknowledged our exiting, but my friend told her goodbye, and then she raised her head. While I was waiting on my friend two managers, walked by I say managers because they had keys hanging from their belt and what looked like walkie-talkies. No eye contact no hello no welcome no nothing. Service should aleays be be on point and especially at their prices. You can get good food anywhere. I go out for the experience. Your hostess and managers killed it and not in a good way. First and last time.

The service was on point with attentive informative and timely interactions. Great cocktails by the bartender always starts off the experience on a high note and the appetizers and mains were over the top.

We were told that they wouldn't seat us until 7pm and that it may be 5 or 10 minutes after that. A little irritating, but not a deal breaker. 7pm comes, 7:05. 7:10. We ask how much longer. We are told they are waiting on tables. Um, ok? 7:15, 7:20, 7:25....finally a table. Why even make a reservation if we aren't seated until 25 minutes after? They take us to our table, a party of 2 mind you, and sit us at a cafeteria style table for 6. There were PLENTY of 2 tops around. People who came in after us were seated at them with no problem. Again, weird, not a deal breaker but getting more irritating. Our waitress came over quickly and was amazing the entire night. Attentive and prompt. She took our drink and app orders. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. It is marketed as upscale. Why did she bring us drinks in plastic cups and say they were out of glasses? Excuse me? I am paying over $200 for my meal to drink out of plastic cups? We get our appetizer and it is delicious. Cajun Crab dip. There is a lot of dip and only a small bread loaf, so we ordered an additional loaf after we ate that one. Our waitress put the order in promptly, but the kitchen never sent it out and she had to go find it. By that time, our app was cold. We still ate it, just another disappointment. Our entrees came out promptly, both of us having ordered the Delmonico ribeye, medium. I added a lobster tail. We both had mac and cheese. I had greens, my husband Brussel sprouts. Neither of our steaks were cooked medium. Both were medium well and tough. $52 steaks, fyi. We had already been there an hour and with all of the other incidents, I was just ready to go. Sides were good, lobster tail was cooked perfectly. To sum it up, long wait even with a reservation, weird seating, plastic cups, forgetful kitchen and over cooked steak. Not quite the upscale dining we are used to with a $225 bill. Great server, great apps, good sides. Overall a disappointing anniversary dinner and would not go back.

Save room for dessert!…read more The food at Foundation Eatery was exceptional. As a self-described foodie, I'm always searching for restaurants that offer creative, thoughtfully prepared dishes with plenty of variety. Foundation exceeded every expectation. I ordered every dish the staff recommended, and each one was outstanding. Julio provided attentive, knowledgeable service, and you can tell Chef Mel and his wife, Sandy, have poured their hearts into every aspect of the dining experience. Their attention to detail is remarkable--they genuinely care that every bite is exactly as it should be, and it shows. We started with the Crisp Spanish Octopus and the mushroom ravioli. Julio also suggested adding an order of bread to soak up the incredible sauces, and I'm so glad he did--not a drop was left on the plate. For my entrée, I chose the scallops, and they were cooked perfectly. I even skipped most of the accompanying beans to save room for dessert, which turned out to be one of the best decisions of the night. The blueberry olive cake with blueberry sorbet was phenomenal and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and refreshingly free of distractions, allowing the food and conversation to take center stage. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with incredible food, outstanding hospitality, and an environment where every detail matters, Foundation Eatery is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back. PS. I can't believe they have a burger on the menu. I'd try that based on everything else!
