Where to Eat Gluten-Free in Nashville | Eater Nashville

"Much of the menu at the Green Hills location of True Food Kitchen is gluten-free and includes a wide range of options beyond salads and grilled meats. Try the chain’s Idaho rainbow trout with quinoa and lemon oregano vinaigrette or spaghetti squash casserole with tomatoes, caramelized onion, zucchini, and fresh mozzarella. The bright restaurant has plenty of outdoor space and a solid section of cocktails and mocktails." - Eater Staff

Nashville Fall Restaurant Openings to Know - Eater Nashville

"Nashville gets a new non-deep-fried dining option when True Food Kitchen opens in Green Hills on Wednesday, September 26. The health-driven, Phoenix-based restaurant most recently garnered national attention when they announced that Oprah became a “significant equity investor” in July. Located on the ground floor of the new Vertis Green Hills mixed-use building, it spans over 7,700-square-feet with an open kitchen and ample outdoor patio seating. Look for a heavy emphasis on vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and signature dishes like spaghetti squash casserole, grass-fed steak tacos, and a quinoa burger. They’re also known for their dessert squash pie." - Delia Jo Ramsey

True Food Kitchen Announces Opening Date for Green Hills - Eater Nashville

"Nashville gets a new non-deep-fried dining option when True Food Kitchen opens in Green Hills on Wednesday, September 26. The health-driven, Phoenix-based restaurant most recently garnered national attention when they announced that Oprah became a “significant equity investor” in July. True Food Kitchen zeroes in on the principles of its co-founder and integrative medicine expert Dr. Andrew Weil’s “anti-inflammatory food pyramid.” The opening marks Nashville’s first introduction to the brand, which has rapidly expanded to more than 20 locations across the country. Look for a seasonally rotating menu with a heavy emphasis on vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options." - Delia Jo Ramsey

Edit: The manager, Luke, did get in contact with me and offered a free meal. When it picked it up, it was cooked perfectly and tasted great. I am hoping this means they will be more consistent going forward! Original: I'm bummed to have to write this review! I've previously loved TFK, but their quality has plummeted in the last few months. I only gave two stars because I love their mission with sustainable sourcing and healthy cooking methods, but my meals have been borderline inedible recently. In my most recent order of Ancient Grains Bowl with steak, my steak (that I paid an extra $9 for) was either cooked into oblivion or basically raw--no in between. Most of the sweet potatoes were undercooked to the point of being crunchy. This has been the case with the last 3-4 times I have ordered it. The flavors are great, but the poor cooking makes it inedible. For the price, the quality is absolutely unacceptable.

Food was meh. Sweet potato hash was cold on arrival. Pizza was mostly sauce and bread (I have had authentic margherita pizza and this was a mediocre attempt). Server was alright. Burger with (cold) sweet potato hash + individual pizza + one 6 oz mixed drink + tip = $75 check Things really went south with our experience when we wanted some ice cream for dessert and waited more than 10 minutes for a $5 HALF SPOON to come half melted. The server just kind of dropped it on the table and attempted to scurry off quickly. We could tell he was a little embarrassed himself to drop off something so underwhelming. I can't imagine how he felt dropping that off and then including two spoons. We would each get half a bite and it would be gone. Did they scrape up the last little bit and hope the customer wouldn't say anything? Having family in the restaurant industry and understanding that it's a very challenging business, I am normally very generous with my reviews and I never send food back. But given the price of the meal and one drink and then the insulting $5 half spoon of ice cream at the end, we asked to have it removed from the check and sent it back. Not a busy night. It was a Monday and very few customers. Server said he had to get the manager to remove the ice cream spoon from the check. I would expect the manager to come out and have an honest conversation with a less-than-satisfied customer. Nope. Crickets. We are not from Nashville, but we visit about 3/4 times a year. We do not ever plan to come back to this restaurant.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Destiny made our experience at True Food Kitchen in Nashville unforgettable! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with warmth and genuine enthusiasm. Her knowledge of the menu and thoughtful recommendations showed how much she cares about her guests having the best experience possible. The food itself was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Each dish felt both nourishing and indulgent at the same time. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, the perfect setting for a night out. With Destiny’s excellent service and the consistently delicious food, True Food Kitchen has definitely become one of my top spots in Nashville. Highly recommend!

Great place for dietary restrictions or clean options. Feels a little underwhelming though at the price point if you’re just looking for a good meal. Also presentation wasn’t great but again if you’re eating here it’s probably for the options not the atmosphere.

Had a great experience here today during lunch! It was my first time in, and I will definitely be back. Our server, Katie, was wonderful! I took her recommendation on the lasagna, and my husband got the teriyaki bowl with chicken that she also suggested. Both were amazing, and we can’t wait to come back and try more delicious menu items!!

Party of three for an early lunch. We arrived at 11am and asked for a window seat, we were seated right away. Staff were friendly and service was average. We started with the roasted Brussels sprouts and two of us tried the seasonal butternut squash soup. The Brussel sprouts were fresh and cooked well but they were very salty and the glaze wasn’t what we expected, garlicky and savory. The butternut squash soup was good, probably the favorite dish of the group, described as “pumpkin pie soup” and “tastes like Christmas” perhaps with hints of nutmeg, though it did have a savory base. I got the spaghetti squash casserole. Sometimes spaghetti squash is prepared more like spaghetti, but this dish is was prepared much more like a standard squash. The squash seemed a bit underdone and crunchy, and the dish was lacking salt. Overall, I enjoyed it and would eat it again, but it wasn’t anything special. The rest of our group got the seasonal market salad with grass fed steak and the Korean noodle bowl with steak, medium. The steak was cooked correctly and tender. The salad had a great apple cider vinegar dressing, but way too much of it, and was a good portion. The Korean noodles were a bit too salty and saucy, muting the other flavors, and were NOT sweet like most Korean food. It would have benefited from a cold slaw on top to balance the flavor. Overall, everything was very fresh and high quality, we enjoyed no seed oils or artificial ingredients but the flavors weren’t impressive. Definitely get sauce or dressing on the side. The atmosphere was great, colorful and bright. Bathrooms were clean. Might try again, we’ll have to see.

Food was good, not great, but a unique menu experience. Our waitress was lovely on this busy Friday night. I had the sausage pizza which was good! My wife had the chopped salad with salmon. Ended off with a nice slice of flourless chocolate cake!

Love this place. The food is healthy, creative and so tasty. The atmosphere is casual and warm, very downtown and bustling. We sat at the bar on a busy Saturday night and service was a little slow but to be expected at that time. The bartender was very sweet and we got our food quickly.

I really wanted to write a review about the service. Her name was Darcy, she was an incredible server. She was very nice, sweet, and helpful with tips on the menu. I felt like she was always checking in on us, and making sure we were doing okay. She was some of the best service I have had at a restaurant. Also the food was very good and tasted very fresh.

It's awesome to have a restaurant that has quality ingredients but the portion sizes here are outrageous. Thought I'd try their chicken sandwich, usually we do the BurgerUp Byrd which is the BOMB... but thought I'd give this place a shot. Got the sandwich and it's literally two small chicken tenders with a big old bun and a few pickles. This isn't the first time, thus the review. I have also ordered grilled chicken sides in the past and gotten two small pieces. I thought maybe it was just a miss and gave them a pass... third time no. I could have bought a whole organic chicken for what they charged me for these two flimsy nuggets on a bun. Disappointing.

True Food is such a wonderful gem that I hadn't been to in a while! I went with some friends and we decided to eat outside on the patio! It wasn't super busy, but the hostess at first did seem a bit overwhelmed when we requested to sit outside, but she was super accommodating and sat us! I decided to order the pepperoni pizza! I accidentally asked for a Diet Coke, not realizing they don't sell soda! I have heard they have great juices but have not tried them yet. Our waitress was awesome. She was super friendly, cracked jokes, made conversation, and got our food in a timely manner knowing we had a movie to catch! The ingredients on the pizza tasted so fresh, and the sourdough pizza crust was unique and so flavorful! The sauce and fresh mozzarella were also great. I can't wait to go back!

I feel like there are a lot of mixed reviews as of late, so I did want to tap in and give the good experience I personally had. Let's start off with they do have parking validation, which I tried to find on their website, but I couldn't and we had paid in the garage by the time we had walked to the door, so a useful bit of information to save yourself some money. The inside of the restaurant is nice, with an open kitchen. At first when I looked at the menu, it is pricier side, but knowing they pride themselves on ingredients I was still interested. As well as my dinner partner being vegan which their menu does accommodate. Our server was awesome, especially when we mentioned we hadn't been there before he gave us a nice little rundown and some recs. I got the Citrus Salmon Salad and the portion size was great. And that dressing was delicious, I need one for my house. Overall good experience and I would come back to try a pizza.

True Food makes me feel like a shiny piece of Kale who just went for a swim in the ocean. I, this human piece of kale, am the picture of vibrance and health, and I have the teeniest tip-toe of a carbon footprint. I'm a piece of Kale who recycles, and always remembers my reusable bags. This is the imagery a visit to True Foods conjures. Health, brightness, altruism. On a recent brunch occasion, I had the blueberry pancakes, and I cannot think of a single way they could be improved. You know how regular pancakes get boring about two bites in? Not these. These pancakes kept me interested; invested, even. They're made with a blend of seeds and whole wheat flour, for a depth of flavor and textural excitement... So much more than a vehicle for syrup. But while we're on the topic of syrup, at True Food they serve real . maple . syrup. When presented with a ramekin of REAL (and trust me, I can suss out a phony miles away) maple syrup, I like to take a moment, close my eyes, and observe a moment of quiet gratitude. Many "yums" and talk of what will be ordered next time floated around the table as whole milk lattes flowed. It was a lovely brunch, there was a lovely VIBE, and a happy piece of Kale am I.

Every time I order takeout from this place I say never again and I'm eating my words because this for sure won't fill me up. $22 for a thin piece of chicken and barely 1/4 cup of spaghetti squash. Absolute joke. Should be ashamed to package this up and give it to someone as an ENTREE and charge that.

This place was decent. As a starter, I had the charred cauliflower which was crispy and tasty and would be worth having again. For dinner, I had the grass-fed burger paired with the corn. While I was very much looking for this based on the description in the menu, I thought the burger was rather average. There was very limited flavor despite having ingredients that I would have expected to be flavorful. It was a bit disappointing and I probably wouldn't get it again should I come back.

True Food is a wonderful lunch, dinner and brunch option, offering an enticing menu spanning omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian, and vegan. There is something for everyone - and everything is delicious. Servers are friendly and always offering recommendations, and the space is open, airy and large - making it a great choice for larger parties. Some favorite dishes include the roasted cauliflower appetizer, and they usually have a vegan pizza option that's delish. Homemade spritzers are also a specialty of the house.

We were running a few errands on a Sunday after church and got a recommendation from a friend to try TFK. The concept is this: clean, good/great food-healthy ingredients, great flavors. TFK met all these goals and it checks the boxes for fast and friendly service. We orderd up a poke bowl, and a curry dish. Both my lady and I liked our selections, they were as advertised and the flavor was outstanding. We also liked that we didn't feel bad after eating our meal. My only issue was that the poke was a bit on the small-ish side, leaving me less than full-but hey, I can stand to walk away with a few less calories/volume and I'm not gonna faint or wast away. I did notice a few burger being brought out that looked amazing and HUGE! I'll check them out next time. The meals are on the pricey side, but if you are doing business in the area price point is mostly likely not a concern for you. TFK-a solid recommendation, we'd definately go back when in Green Hills.

This was my second time at True Food Kitchen. Overall a great experience with high quality standards for food. I came for breakfast one day and then went for dinner this past week. Drink- Hangover Cure Drink: 5/5 Onehope Red Blend wine: 5/5 Kale drink: 5/5 App- Lettuce Tuna Wraps app: 5/5 this was so good! Chips & Guac app: 4/5 love the guac. The chips are delish too, you can tell they are healthy. Main- Sausage Bison Pizza- 3/5 my bf loved jalapeños, but this was loaded and he had to take a lot off. Lasagna Bolognese- 3/5 it was good but watery Overall a great vibe, especially if you sit outside when it's nice weather. I will definitely be returning!

I seldom, if ever post lior reviews, but I like this site bc it steers me in the right direction in terms of eateries. TFK is one of my favorite restaurants and hopefully, my visit today, was an exception, but my meal was far below average. I had the street corn flatbread. It wasn't cocked well and was literally flatbread with plain corn on top of it with a little cremfresh. I also had the buffalo ranch chicken which was equally bad. The chicken was over cooked and dry. The crust on the chicken lacked flavor. The buffalo part of the dressing was too spicy to eat. I basically ate some lettuce and cucumbers, all for about $40! Again, this is usually one of my favorite restaurants and unless this was a real "off" day for the restaurant, I would suggest removing both of these items.

True Food used to be my favorite restaurant, but it has gone downhill recently. I always sit at the bar and last time the bartender seemed more interested in chatting with his coworker then taking my order. And there was one other person at the bar so he was not busy. Also they either changed the recipe or they had a bad night in the kitchen because my meal that I get every single time tasted like something I had never eaten before. I'm so sad that my favorite restaurant for so many years is not good anymore.

So disappointed! True Food has been my go-to spot for a while. However, last night I sat at the bar and it took over 20 minutes for the bartender to even notice me and take my drink order. He was chatting with what seemed like a coworker and just would not check on us; we had to ask for our food order to be taken and wave him over to close us out. Aside from the distractions - the food really seems to be off. I always order the same dish (curry bowl) but it was totally different last night. The chicken was the most noticeable; it was always fresh in the past but seemed to be from a different distributor or maybe even frozen last night? There seems to be some kind of management change and that is really unfortunate. I will not be back. The only positive that I can think of is the easy, free parking.

I have mixed feelings about this place. While my veggie burger was good, I'm questioning all the ingredients. They say they source best ingredients, but they offered me Heinz ketchup which is the worst brand you could possibly use. I was a bit surprised to be honest. There are many other healthy brands without corn syrup and that are organic. My potatoes were also very under cooked. I ordered an iced drink which was all ice for a pricey drink.

We've been here a handful of times. We eat lunch here when we need to drive out to Trader Joe's. I love the variety in the menu and how fresh everything is. Sometimes service can be slow and food comes out cold. It's also a great place to have brunch with friends!

Great restaurant for a healthier option! It's super cute inside, in a great location and all the servers & hostess are wonderful. The food tastes great, I LOVE the kale salad. It is one the pricier side...but it's one of those places where you can taste the clean & healthy ingredients.

My wife and I stopped in here for lunch this past weekend. They were just starting to get busy so we seated ourselves at the bar. We were promptly greeted by two people who tag-teamed our lunch. We ordered waters as the various drinks didn't really get us too excited. I'd of liked a traditional iced black tea option and not just the fruity drinks. We both ordered burgers. My wife the turkey burger and me the green chili cheeseburger, but I had them make it with beef instead of turkey. The burgers tasted very good; my beef burger was a little underdone. I ordered medium and got medium rare, but I ate it anyway. The turkey burger was cooked fine. We both ordered sweet potato hash which I enjoyed but would have preferred a sweet potato fry. All in all, a pleasant experience and good food, but I won't go out of my way to eat here, but glad I tried it.

I have a love/hate relationship with this place. Do I like the fact that the food is (relatively) healthy? Yes. Do I love the over exaggerated prices that are not worth what you get? No. I do like some of the food here, but there are several items on the menu I've tried that are so lackluster and I think they are allergic to salt when preparing the dishes. The main reason I go here - convenience. I currently work in Green Hills and we sometimes have out of towners come in for meetings who are gluten free, vegetarian or vegan. This place makes it easy to appease them. If I didn't work near here, would I drive out if my way to get a meal... definitely no. So if you are on a strict diet you must adhere to, it might be worth it, but otherwise I can suggest several other places in town to check instead of this.

We've been here several times and have sat outside because it's just so nice to be outside. Oh and dog friendly too. The food is delicious. I had a seasonal vegan pizza and side dish. We started with a brussel sprout appetizer that was phenomenal. I had to bring home the seasonal leftovers. The service was friendly and fast. Can't wait to come back.

I've had this once for takeout and once in person. Both times the meal was fresh and tasted good - nice to have a healthy spot in the area. Quite expensive for the portions. I understand fresh food costs more but that also stops people from eating it. I spent $55 on 2 bowls with protein, no drinks or anything else to eat. Definitely not a lunch I'd get often! Very good if you don't mind the cost. Very friendly staff - Aaron (or Seth, or sorry, can't remember but cool blonde Mohawk!) was our waiter and was very kind. Beautiful spot.

Ordered last night for delivery. I ordered the chicken sandwich and my wife ordered the burrito bowl. My wife really enjoyed the burrito bowl. My chicken sandwich was a real mixed bag. The kale slaw, the bbq sauce and the jalapeños were good but the top bun was hard as a rock (like it had been under a headlamp for a while) and the chicken was way overcooked and dry as a bone. It was a real disappointment. Do better TFK.

This is the truth . Food was good , they were able to accommodate my weirdo food allergies . I have alpha gal , no dairy , butter , meat ... anything good to eat really I can't have anyways , I've been craving a pizza since my diagnosis in the spring . They delivered .had a mushroom onion pizza with a garlic sauce on it . And a kale drink . The drink tasted healthy ... more like dandelions and tulips but I know I did something good for myself . The inside is clean , bougee , nicely decorated . We were sat immediately.. my husband had lasagna with real beef . He liked it , said it was a little runny but he cleaned his plate . If I am in green hills again , I'd eat here .

I came here today for lunch with the family. I've been here a couple of times and it has always been good. Today I ordered the grass fed burger with a kale salad. It was very delicious. I also ordered their version of a sprite (not pictured) which I would order again for an extra fizz with my meal! We didn't have reservations and waited about 40 minutes to be seated however it was worth the wait. Our waiter was very accommodating and checked on us regularly as well as gave an honest opinion on our selections The atmosphere is good for a lunch or early dinner spot. When the weather warms up, they have a great patio. It's also very walkable to other spots if desired. If you're coming here with a group, they make it very easy to split the check via the QR code on the table.

This is my favorite place to eat when I am in the Green Hills area. It's good food, fast. The Korean noodles with shrimp is my go to and the mezcal Margarita is so good and pretty. I don't usually care for margaritas because they are overly sweet but since everything is crafted in house and no premixed syrups are used so it's not super sweet. Service is typically good and quick but they can sometimes get busy if they get into prepping and restocking. The ambiance is causal and there is a parking garage in the back. Only bench style seating is the booths which is a positive for my little introverted heart.

Every time I go to True Food, it feels like there is only 2 servers who are running the entire restaurant and so the time between sitting down and getting a glass of water feels like forever. The restaurant is decent and the ambiance is very nice casual. However you could come in a t-shirt and athletic shorts and no one would look twice. The food is good but it's not outstanding. I do like that everything is healthy and fresh, but there isn't anything special about the dishes. Drinks are expensive but what restaurant in Nashville doesn't have drinks over $10? Just ask for salt for your meals. I recommend the Bison Sausage Pizza though. Overall it's a good restaurant if you don't have anywhere else to go.

Everything was flavorless and cold. The burger had hard buns and the chicken wrap had zero flavor and was freezing. When i asked for more ranch to give it more flavor, i got charged. The water glasses smelled like dirty fish water. The service was good tho.

Not the same since covid. The butternut squash soup tasted blend. As though it was boxed. They forgot my brussel sprouts. But after tasting the noodle dish I was ok with them forgetting the brussel sprouts. The kids pizza... my grandson refused to eat it after 3 bites. My daughter tasted and said they had too much flour on the bottom of it. In short, we finished nothing. Wasted money. Just not the same since covid. Will not be returning. But the staff is SUPER friendly. I wonder would they have told me to order something else from them what I did? I should have asked for their recommendation!

Great option for a nice night out and looking for healthy options. I have been here a couple times and have enjoyed the food and ambiance. They offer free garage parking. (Just note height of garage is 10+' coming in but drops to 8' as soon as you enter.). Garage elevators take you right up to the restaurant. They also have valet too. They offer both outside and inside seating. It is best to make a reservation via open table and can reach it from their website. Every time I have come it is busy. The food is good, I would recommend their burgers. They are delicious! Both the kale salad and sweet potato sides are good too. I am not a fan of their pizza. Seems too much like pizza that you get at a concert event. Their green drink is delicious and if you have food allergies they are great at noting and accommodating. We happen to come for a birthday, they do offer a birthday treat. They are not as good at noting from the hostess to the waitress. So, you may need to let the water/waitress know. They put a candle on top of the treat. But, don't expect the wait staff to sing or stick around after dropping off the treat. Overall, I would recommend coming as it may be a regular option in the future for you like myself.

Love this place! Great food while being a place that is allergy and special diet friendly. Being grain free, paleo, vegan, keto, or gluten free is so easy and delicious. The vibe is chill, decor is great, and the service fabulous! Love the vibe and everyone who worked there that I interacted with!

There is an old song "2 out of 3 ain't bad". Not a success formula for a restaurant. Three entres ordered. The ancient grain bowls with salmon were excellent taste according to my guests. The cauliflower hors d'ouvre was good. But the pot roast beef dip sandwich was a loser. There was as less than 4 oz of beef for $26.00+. I complained and was given a bowl of meat to top up the sandwich. Then the fire corn side was delayed and then arrived cold. The server offered a free desert, but the blueberry crumble had ice crystals in the ice cream and few crumbles. Failed on all elements of my meal. The ladies were happy but they lost me as a customer.

Newly expanded menu, with seasonal items including delicious beef options. Jackson was great server, intuitive and attentive. Perfect meal

Once again we ordered true food and it was a huge disappointment. Whatever change was made with the new menu, the quality of food took a huge decline. Pizza crust is no where near as good as it used to be and the salad had sparse ingredients. Turkey burger was overcooked and hard. Last time we will be here after going for YEARS.

The food was tasty and I was excited to come here as it has been highly recommended. The Lasagna Bolognese was a bit salty but the ricotta helped balance it out. The vibes (music and setting) were the best part! The service...the worst. The server was slow, inattentive and appeared to be overwhelmed with her two tables.

Some of the best people I've ever met in my life work here. Amazing quality food, parking has become an enigma and I am sorry for that adjustment (free 2hrs if you scan our QR code in house) but generally speaking-- you're in a good spot for your meal when you come into TFK. Be vocal with your needs and wants and you're golden.

Love this place! Scott is the best server we've ever had. Not only did he answer every question we had about the menu, but he delivered amazing service. Would give him a 10 out of 10 if we could. :) He really made us feel like we were talking to a friend.

We made same day reservations for the afternoon on a Saturday. Parking was good, and the walking to and from is pretty easy. We were seated immediately in the outside patio. It can get busy on a Saturday afternoon, so I'm glad we had reservations. We had brussel sprouts, lasagne, and a turkey burger with sweet potato hash. The brussel sprouts were cold...so cold. When they returned with a new order, they were room temperature, but the plate was hot. I didn't understand. The sweet potato hash was room temperature and lacked flavor. The lasagne was outstanding and hot...so darn good! My partner liked his turkey burger and we also enjoyed our hibiscus gin drinks. Service was great! But the temperature of our sides left us with a negative experience. I would come back because this restaurant deserves a second chance.

Really delicious meal and incredible service. I love the selection of vegan and GF foods and virgin cocktails. They make the experience feel more inclusive without sacrificing any deliciousness.

It pains me to say this!! I absolutely love True Food and go from time to time and there have been times where the service has been iffy for sure- but this time was one of the all time worsts and it was ridiculous. Our server was unbelievably beyond terrible. We think she was training somebody or they were training her, but the couple seated beside us dealt with the same thing. Our reservation was at 6:15pm and we got seated around maybe 6:20. It took about 15 plus mins for our server to even come over to the table to greet us and even give us water!! Then she disappeared for probably another 15-20 mins and we finally placed an appetizer order because I asked!! We waited 45 mins to an HOUR to even get the bread, there was no reason for it! She was hanging over at the station chatting and dilly dallying every 5 seconds and she asked 30 mins later if we got the bread yet and that she would "check on it". That took another 15 mins. We made sure to place our entrees during that time knowing she was going to disappear again. Not to mention I ordered one of my favorite sides with my entree and she didn't even know they had put it back on the menu. I had to tell her. The TRAINEE KNEW MORE. once we FINALLY got our bread it was cold and hard but we were starving and irritated so we just ate it. It took an hour for our food and it was ice cold by the time we got it but we didn't have time to send it back. We made sure to ask for the check as they sat the food down. And we also never got a water refill the entire time!! We left cash and had to get to a birthday party so we ran out of there. There was no reason at all for it to have taken that long. Food was being ran to every other table consistently except for ours. $65.00 later for that! Complete BS. Train your servers better. She was one of the all time worst I've EVER had!!! It was my boyfriend's first time going there and he will 100% never be going back.

Always great. The atmosphere is lovely too. Patio seating available too. The food is more expensive but that's what you do when it's better quality food.. you pay a little more. It's worth it.
