    Kitchen
    Sky P.

    Stopped in for lunch and sat at the bar. The food was really good and everything came out fresh and flavorful. The service at the bar was okay, but the bartenders were extremely busy handling both bar guests and drink orders for the dining room, so it's understandable. If you're looking for more attentive service, I'd recommend sitting at a table instead. I visited on a Saturday, and I have to say the staff was hustling nonstop. The waiters, waitresses, and bartenders were all working hard to keep up with a very busy crowd. Overall, a good experience and I'd definitely come back for the food.

    True Food Kitchen has been a long time staple in Cherry Creek at least for as long as I have been in Denver and they have always killed it and I think they have even gotten better over time. They are always my go to spot when I find myself in Cherry Creek and I want something on the healthier side that won't break the bank. I really do always feel like my stomach feels good after eating here. When you think of healthy food, typically taste is sacrificed for health but I never felt like that is the case here. No matter what I get here, it's always at least decent if not delicious. It is also really cool to see the open concept kitchen where you can easily see all the chefs prepare the whole foods. It is evident that they take pride in their food. The only thing that I am taking a star off for is that I have often felt rushed when dining there. We also asked for no sauce on the grass fed burger and when we received the burger with sauce on it and pointed it out the person who appeared to be the manager just replied "ok...?" like we were annoying him or he didn't understand what the issue was. Overall, love this place and will continue coming here for my tummy friendly food!

    Been here many times (also in Arizona too). The food is so fresh and consistent. The Caesar salad is always a good one but I also love the Korean Noodle Bowl is a favorite (+grilled chicken). They can accommodate pretty much every food needs and the portions are just right (matches the cost). Highly recommend and will continue to be a repeat customer!

    Airelle was a fantastic server, she made the experience for us. Outstanding sour dough pizza we also enjoyed the watermelon salad! It's spacious, but parking can be a challenge. The food was so good, I would definitely go back or try another location.

    Edamame Dumplings
    Tak L.

    True Food Kitchen always delivers delicious from start to finish. Our server, Christian, was warm, attentive, and a step ahead of anything we needed. One of our favorite starters is the Edamame Dumplings. This vegetarian-friendly starter is only 270 calories for the whole dish. You know they're on the way when the truffle aroma reaches your table. It's wild how they take simple edamame and dial the flavor up to eleven. The silky broth is so good you'll want to drink it straight from the bowl. If you're sharing, you'll be fighting to get the last drop. I usually order the Spaghetti Squash Casserole, but tonight I switched it up with the Lasagna al Pesto. The pistachio pesto bursts with bright, herby notes that balance the tangy tomato sauce perfectly. The turkey-sausage Bolognese was tasty, for me it was just a touch salty. My husband went for the Chicken Parmesan. The True Crisp'd™ air-fried chicken breast was juicy, crisp, and generous; easily enough for two meals. I regret not ordering it myself! This dish packs 50 grams of protein and every bite tastes like comfort. We left happy, grateful, and already planning our next visit. Thank you, Christian and True Food Kitchen, for another lovely night.

    Great food and a lot of options but definitely on the pricy side but they are on inkind!

    Rancher's Hash
    Shareen S.

    I was craving something healthy in Cherry Creek and decided to try TFK. I was impressed by the variety of affordable organic options and fresh juices on the menu. Despite being busy on a late Sunday morning, the wait was short. The front staff, however, seemed a bit overwhelmed. There were three hosts working--one of them in training--and their process of calling out guest names without taking phone numbers felt inefficient, especially when they struggled to locate people on the waitlist. Once seated, service improved significantly. Our server was attentive, and our order was taken promptly. We opted for a patio table to enjoy the beautiful weather. I ordered the Rancher's Hash, which came with eggs, grass-fed beef, sweet potato, avocado, tomato, and peppers. The flavors blended nicely, though it was on the salty side, so consider asking for no added salt if you're sensitive to that. Overall, the food and atmosphere made for a great experience. I'll definitely return to try more dishes next time.

    Immediately when you walk in the food smells amazing. It can be busy so be prepared for the environment to be a bit busy. Service was great and the food tasted delicious. Only a 4 since the bun of my burger was soggy.

    I love this menu, very innovative. I came in for a quick lunch and it was busy. I tried the edamame dumplings and they were very good. It is garnished with white truffle oil, dashi, thai basil, and sesame seeds I will need to try to make a copycat version at home. I also ordered a salad. Service was good and fast. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Out of town review. I don't have true food kitchen where I live, but I've been to one when I was visiting Austin so I was glad to see that they had one in Denver so I can eat here again. I ordered the edamame dumpling with white truffle oil. Honestly, this was the one dish that I was looking forward to to the most. It left a memorable impression on me last time. Along with the dumplings, I had an iced Matcha Horchata drink and I ordered the crispy chicken salad that I think was one of their seasonal menu items. They weren't super busy today and we were well attended on by our server. This place is a little pricey, but you can taste the quality in the ingredients. This is in the downtown area of Cherry Creek so you can either park on the street or in some of the lots. Kid friendly with high chairs and changing stations in the bathroom. Overall, 4/5 stars

We had an amazing dinner at Local Jones (LJs) at the Halcyon Hotel, visiting on the second night of their new menu, and they absolutely nailed it.

The rest of our group loved their dishes just as much--the mussels, shepherd's pie, and braised short ribs all got rave reviews.

All employees were professional and our server was friendly. The atmosphere was lovely--clean, warm, inviting. It was an interesting journey to find the bathroom. It's shared with other parts of the building and was the only thing that needed attending. Four stars for the messy bathrooms, price being quite high, and it was a 2 hour and 45 min dinner. Took forever. I've never had so many glasses of water in my life in such a short period of time. If you can afford it, I would certainly say the food was almost worth it--desserts were just okay, and one of the appetizers was alright.

I'm glad our first experience ended up being at the Denver location because it definitely lived up to the hype. The restaurant has a more upscale feel than a lot of places around Denver, but it's still comfortable and welcoming. We started with the grilled artichokes, which were outstanding. They're a fun appetizer to share and pick at while waiting for your entrées, and the dipping sauce was incredible. For my main course, I ordered the cheeseburger with the coleslaw, and it was fantastic. I've been on a mission to find the best restaurant cheeseburger in Denver, and this one immediately jumped near the top of my list. The burger was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and the coleslaw was a great complement. My fiancée ordered one of the salads and really enjoyed it as well. For dessert, we couldn't pass up the brownie. Since it was my birthday, they added a candle to the scoop of ice cream on top, which was a thoughtful touch. The brownie itself was rich, warm, and absolutely top-tier. As someone who loves a good brownie, this one delivered, especially with the nuts on top adding a little extra texture. The service was just as impressive as the food. Our water glasses were constantly refilled before they got low, and one detail that really stood out was when they replaced my martini glass with a freshly chilled one so my drink stayed cold throughout the meal. It's those little touches that make a restaurant memorable. Overall, this was an outstanding birthday dinner, and we can't wait to come back. There were several dishes we want to try, including the Hawaiian ribeye, the barbecue ribs, and more of the salads.
