Being a newly christened vegan, my dining out choices are slightly limited to say the least. So when I heard about True Food, I got all kinds of ferklumped, especially when a few coworkers told me about how delicious it was. I bet they had the stuff with meat.\n\nI don't think restaurants understand how important service is to the entire experience. I can have an amazing meal with the best food I've ever had, but if it takes 20 minutes for a server to come and just take my drink order, it's going to affect how much I enjoy said food. I am not one to nitpick since I used to be a server myself, and I know how hard it is, but 20 minutes is nothing short of ridiculous.\n\nWith that being said, I was expecting the food to make up for the service. Not so. I ordered the quinoa salad, which was actually pretty good, although the dressing had waaay too much acid. The beets were delicious. My entree, the roasted vegetables with farro and figs, sucked. 75% of the vegetables were so undercooked they crunched when I bit into them. Not cool. The farro and figs were decent, but were so overwhelmed by the poorly prepared vegetables that I couldn't enjoy them. My advice to them? Don't put a vegan entree on the menu unless it's going to stand up against the rest of the list. I'd rather eat my usual gathering of appetizers and sides.
