   We had an excellent experience for Easter brunch. The food was great and the service was attentive and friendly. We had GF blueberry pancakes (wow!!), morning scramble, and the rancher’s hash. Each was an excellent dish with lots of wonderful flavor. We will return!

   First time visiting. We were there for brunch and ordered Avocado Toast, Poke Bowl and a Burger. Food and Service was good. We really liked the choices. Hot coffee was actually hot! Several of the bathrooms needed cleaning. We will return.

   Everything was fine. The Koren noodles tasted just very salty. The problem I had was that they offered dessert. I unfortunately have a few food allergies. So, I was excited to see a Vegan and Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie "batter" on the menu. What it did not say is that it contained Banana which I am decently allergic to. Luckily when I put it in my mouth I tasted it immediately and was able to spit it out. After talking to the wait staff, they said it was one of the main ingredients. I understand it is not the most common allergy in the world but if the chocolate chip cookie is really like a glorified banana bread cookie, and banana is the main ingredient I think it should be noted as such on the menu, as many people do not like bananas anyways. Luckily, I did not have a horrible reaction, but either way should be noted on the menu for future customers.

   Rose, Your feedback is invaluable to us. We are sorry to hear about the rocky end, to what sounds like a pleasant experience at the start. We have taken note of this and will pass it along, to prevent this from happening down the road. We are so sorry that you almost ingested a product you were allergic to. Here at True Food Kitchen, we take all allergies, dietary preferences / restrictions, very seriously. So, it breaks our hearts to hear we missed our mark with you. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ethan. I am the general manager here at True Food Kitchen, in Rio. If you are willing, I would love the opportunity to connect with you personally.
