OMG where do I even begin with True Food Kitchen and the absolute legend*that is Darren, our server?! Let me tell you, Darren is BEYOND AMAZING and totally AWESOMESAUCE!! This man is a true gem, the kind of person who instantly lights up a room with his personality and warmth. He's personable, attentive, and clearly loves making sure everyone at his tables is having the best time possible. His energy is so contagious, you can't help but enjoy yourself when he's around.
So, this was officially our second time having Darren as our server, and let me just say--he's 2 for 2 in delivering the most wonderful experience ever! The first time we met Darren was about a week ago, and from the moment he introduced himself, his vibrant personality and customer service skills shined. He made awesome recommendations (which, of course, were all spot on!), and we were beyond thrilled with his suggestions.
Alright, let's dive into the food because YUM!!! For starters, we kicked things off with some of my all-time faves--the Roasted Butternut Squash Soup, Charred Cauliflower, and the Mediterranean Hummus--all from their amazing fall menu, which I live for! Then came the entrees: I wanted to try the new Chicken Parmesan, but sadly they were out. But never fear, Darren came through with another fantastic recommendation--the Original Chicken Sandwich, which was DELISH! My mom went for the Spicy Korean Chicken Sandwich, and we were both in flavor heaven. For drinks, I had the *Blood Orange Margarita, and my mom had a Hot Toddy (she wasn't feeling well, but that Hot Toddy hit the spot!).
Now dessert--honey, you know we had to get the famous Squash Pie! And I also tried the Chai Caramel Cake (DIVINE!). They were out of the Pie Spiced Latte, but Darren--being the hero that he is--had them make me a special cappuccino, and it was perfection. The food, the service--it was all a 10/10 experience.
Fast forward to today--yes, we went back for round two with Darren's recommendations, and once again, he nailed it. We started with the Butternut Squash Soup (Mom got a bowl this time, lol), and the Charred Cauliflower because, duh, it's a fave. For dinner, Mom went with the Turkey Burger and Sweet Potato Hash--another solid go-to. But I was feeling adventurous and wanted to try something new. Darren recommended the Grass-Fed Steak Tenderloin, and OMG, when I tell you it was bussin', it was BUUSSIN'!!! Like, melt-in-your-mouth good. For drinks, we did the Spicy Pineapple Margarita and the El Pomelo Margarita, both delish. And of course, dessert was Squash Pie and cappuccinos to top off the meal.
Seriously, if you haven't been to True Food Kitchen yet, run, don't walk, and make sure you request Darren as your server. Trust me, you won't be disappointed--he's the best!!
