    Chopped salad + protein - grass-fed beef steak bites.   Lot of greens underneath what's visible.
    Jeanette H.

    Loved the chopped salad plus I added GF beef steak which came in small bites and plenty of them, down to my last bite of this salad. Quality ingredients and tasted super delicious. I also ordered my top fave pizza with mushroom and spinach. Biggest surprise was cappuccino -- with almond milk. It way exceeded my picky palate for great cappuccino. I could care less about the foam art etc. Just great beans, good foam, great taste and a good ratio. He was also a barista in-training. I'd order again especially if same barista-trainee is on duty !

    All american burger and sweet potato chips

    True Food Kitchen has a nice upscale atmosphere that is also comfortable. The service was fast and everyone of the staff was very friendly making the whole experiwnce great. I ordered the all amreican burger with sweet potato chips and it was delicious. The ingredients are all clearly freah and flavorful and the beef tastes high quality. The sweet potato chips are addictive without being too sweet.

    Guacamole with baked flatbread
    Tanya B.

    I was looking for a new restaurant that had healthy food at decent prices, and bonus points if it tasted good, but wasn't expecting it. In this search I found True Food Kitchen. This was the most delicious healthy food I've ever had! I always get it to go so I can't say much about the service or ambiance other than the fact that they are always kind and never get an order wrong. I ordered a lot the first time because I wanted to have a good idea of what the quality was with True Food Kitchen. I ordered their guacamole with flatbread which was perfectly tangy and fresh and has 6g of protein and only 330 calories! Even if I ate the whole thing by myself I wouldn't feel guilty. I would say that the flatbread is a bit bland but other than that it's a pretty good starter especially for those macros. I give it a 3.5/5 Next I had the Edamame Dumplings which has white truffle oil, dashi, thai basil, sesame seeds, has 12g of protein and is only 270 calories!! This one was bursting with flavor in every bite, from the mouth watering truffle flavor in the sauce to the dumplings which tasted as indulgent as mashed potatoes, this was probably one of my favorites at True food Kitchen. I would rate it a 5/5 for sure! For sides I had the cheesy mashed potatoes which has 5g of protein and only 200 cals. I would say these are decent but not my favorite as it had a flavor I didn't quite like, but still is a good option for those not as picky as me. I would rate it a 2.5/5 Next I had the kale salad, and OMG it was amazing! I usually hate kale but True Food Kitchen's kale salad is so good that I actually would eat this every day! It has Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs and a perfectly blended lemon based dressing which is so good I scrape the bowl clean. It's also only got 120 calories and 3g of protein for the huge portion, so it's super healthy for you, and filling. I rate this a 5/5 Don't forget to get the Kale aid as a drink as well, which has organic kale, ginger, organic apple, celery, cucumber, and lemon and is only 100 calories. It's very refreshing and the flavor is so good you don't taste the greens. It's a 5/5 for sure! Lastly and one of my all time favorites here is the Turkey Burger which has Diestel Farms turkey, smoked gouda, avocado, tomato, butter lettuce, jalapeño remoulade, and their TFK house special sauce. The turkey by itself is delicious and such a huge portion! It's perfectly spiced and doesn't need anything else, though the other ingredients are fresh (I love that they have butter lettuce so it's a nice texture, plus it's tasty), their tomatoes are always red and top notch. But omg we need to talk about their sauces! The house sauce is delicious! It's unique to their store, but kind of like a mayo ketchup blend but more sophisticated. The jalapeño remoulade is tangy and addicting but not spicy despite the name. I love that they have two unique sauces on one burger! To top it off the whole thing has only 600 calories and a whopping 43g of protein! Talk about nutrition goals! It's definitely a 5/5 for me! TLDR: True Food Kitchen is truly healthy food that will leave your mouth watering! Every bite is a joy, and still keeps you on track with your healthy goals. The prices aren't bad, but definitely more than fast food for sure. The service is always great and this is one of my new favorite places to eat! Definitely recommend!

    Norwegian Salmon with wild Mushroom
    Sandeep J.

    Worst experience.. went there on Valentine's day with my wife. All good till we ordered food & drinks. We did not receive the drinks till the time we finished apps and main course.. which was almost 1 hour after we ordered. Server kept telling us that the bar was backed up with orders and we should get it soon but drinks never arrived. On top of all.. We were presented the check even before our desert arrived on the table.. Restaurant definitely made our experience memorable for bad reasons.

    Such a good dining experience! I highly recommend coming here if you have someone with dietary restrictions because they have the most amazing options for vegan and gluten-free. I personally do not have any of those restrictions and I still absolutely loved the dish that I got! They have a bunch of variety which is really cool. You can get a hamburger or curry or Korean noodles! Our waiter was really kind and even gave us a sample of the seasonal soup! He was super attentive and made sure that we had everything that we needed while we were there. Our food came out really fast and tasted really fresh. There's plenty of seating in here, the restaurant is huge! It is a really clean and cute vibe inside and I would definitely recommend coming here with friends or on a date

    LASAGNE AL PESTO
    Jennifer J.

    Dined here this past Sunday with some friends and really enjoyed. I'm on a healthier, cleaner eating journey and was pleased to see True Food focuses on whole, real food. We shared the chopped salad - phenomenal! I'm not a huge salad person, but this salad here slaps! I ordered the lasagne al pesto, which was pretty good. I do wish it had more turkey sausage bolognese, but nonetheless it was tasty. Restaurant decor and atmosphere was lovely, very clean and spacious. Amazing staff and service! Special shoutout to our server, Noah, who took very good care of us and solidified this 5 star experience with his attentiveness, helpfulness, and overall service. Looking forward to dining again at True Food Kitchen!

    Bison pizza and cheesy mashed potatoes
    Christina B.

    The bison pizza was pretty good: light and crispy with a good sized crust on it. I can see how one person can finish this on their own, but it did take 2 of us to polish it off. The cheesy mashed potatoes were good but not worth the $6 price tag as a small bowled side. I do not recommend getting the lavender matcha latte. There was barely any matcha flavor at all (a sign of good matcha is a slightly bitter taste), and the lavender syrup was basically just sugar, so this drink ended up tasting like sugary milk ($6.50) Plenty of seating inside and out with airy space and friendly staff.

SERVICE: First time we just walk in and they couldn't sit us for about 20min, each time telling to wait and do not leave. What could be easily solved by getting us on wait list with time approximation. Next time we decided to avoid trouble and booked few days in advance, just to realize that reservation actually not getting you a table We came on time and were asked to wait. Fine, no problems. After 30 min standing outside( because people were coming and leaving) we came in and asked about our table, confused hostess was trying to find reservation again, after she completed the task we were asked to wait.... Then they lead us to a table with strangers and only 2 free sits( we were party of 4)To cut the struggle I said that there are few free tables outside and we are fine to stay there, and finely were settled. The waitress brought us menus and we haven't seen her for the next 20 min... FOOD: the choice is not very wide, but there are some interesting options. Unfortunately not everything we tried there got a picture as it took time and few visits to write this review. Overall, food is good. AMBIANCE: modern interior design, big bar with variety of cocktails and draft beer. There are few areas inside : big tables ( be ready to sit at the same table with other people) , smaller tables and high tables. it can get pretty noisy inside.

My mom is extraordinarily sensitive to anything remotely "spicy"--even black pepper can be a problem, and sometimes arugula! Our server David listened carefully to her concerns and made sure the chef knew exactly what she needed. The kitchen modified her dish accordingly, and she was able to enjoy a delicious meal without worrying about what might be in it. But the food was only part of what made the evening so enjoyable. David and Ceara were both fantastic--warm, attentive, and incredibly personable. They really listened to Mom and made an effort to engage with her. Mom eventually started telling jokes, including a few that were definitely on the bawdy side. David and Ceara were wonderful sports and laughed right along with her. They made her feel welcome rather than simply accommodated, and that distinction meant a lot to all of us. Clarity gave us delicious food and excellent service, but more importantly, they helped make my mother feel celebrated on her 91st birthday. A memorable evening and a restaurant I'm very happy to recommend.

    We've been dining at Clarity in Vienna for years, and it was particularly a favorite for intimate,…read morespecial-occasion meals. Chef Jon Krinn's menus and his warm, personal touch with diners made the place special. After he left, Chef Tracy O'Grady admirably revived it with creative new menu concepts, and under Chef Danny Ahn the brand has now expanded to a Reston location. Through it all, bartender Victor has been a steady, caring presence -- even as service slowed and courses started taking a long time to arrive. After one visit where we waited 50 minutes for dessert, we stayed away for a while. We decided to come back to celebrate our anniversary. The new manager, Jeff Miller, and the rest of the staff greeted us warmly, but the dining room was nearly empty, and the air conditioning was set to meat-locker levels. Victor had the day off. Clarity is known for a daily-changing tasting menu, and we were looking forward to that night's advertised special -- giant tiger prawns, lobster and black truffle risotto, and venison. Instead, we were handed a menu with octopus, cod loin, and duck -- solid dishes, but standard fare you'll find at plenty of restaurants in the area, not the standout the website promised. We ordered from the regular menu instead. For appetizers, we each got the grilled Wellfleet and Old Salt oyster platter. For entrées, my spouse ordered the yellowfin tuna with tiger shrimp; I asked if I could get the Maryland soft-shell crabs as an entrée with two crabs instead of one. The waiter said no and suggested I add a sweet corn bisque to round out the meal. When he mentioned to the manager that we were unhappy, Jeff offered to plate two crab appetizers together for double the appetizer price. I happily agreed. The manager explained that website updates were no longer handled in-house, that the tasting menu posted online hadn't actually been available for months, that other guests had complained about the same thing, and that the takeout/pickup menu was also wrong -- to the point that he' had just contacted customers to tell them their online orders couldn't be fulfilled. Service was slow, and the waiter never told us which oysters were Wellfleet and which were Old Salt. To kitchen's credit, the portions were generous, properly cooked, and genuinely tasty. The dessert menu seemed uninspired, so I asked about a double shot of Angel's Envy rye instead. It had always been reasonably priced when Victor poured it -- generously, too. This time, I overheard the manager quote the waiter $56. A 750ml bottle (25 oz) currently retails at Virginia ABC for about $75, or $3/oz -- so $56 for a double shot works out to about $18.67 per ounce. I said that wasn't acceptable. At that point, the manager repeated, for the fourth time, that he was still on the phone trying to get the website fixed. I told him his reiterated efforts might help future diners, but it didn't help us that evening. He said Victor had trained him and that he was charging what Victor would charge -- I told him I didn't believe that, since Victor had always been fair and accommodating. I also said that as the manager overseeing service, he should be checking the website' daily for accuracy himself. He then offered to pay for my "cocktail" out of his own pocket. Before I could point out that a shot of whiskey isn't a cocktail, my spouse asked him to just leave us alone. We paid and left feeling genuinely sad to see a restaurant we loved fall this far.

His dish definitely looked amazing served in a large bowl with a lot of shrimp and sausage. Mine was served over a vegetable bed of rice. The small amounts of goat cheese were a nice touch as I don't enjoy large amounts as it is so rich. The vinaigrette was really a great flavor with the fish - very different! Thanks to the staff that allowed us to sit there for well over two hours so awesome to not be rushed, pestered or treated like we were an inconvenience. Looking forward to my next trip maybe I score the Mahi Mahi!
