When I love a place I will go back multiple times during a trip so all of my review on dishes are in June 2013. I love tasty healthy food for the right price. Here goes... The bison burger medium done with kale and sweet potato hash, sea bass, salmon, chopped salad, Thai dumplings, and humus. All get 5 stars.... More

I've been 5 times and each time has been as good as the last (pretty rare nowadays, to be so consistently good). Each time, I ordered their kale salad and I guess my only complaint on that end is that it's not enough. That citrus dressing they use, along with the shaved parmesan cheese is simply to die for. I've... More

We ordered the bison burger with kale and hash on the side. When it arrived, it was extremely salty. The sweet potatoes were overly salty as well. To the point where I had to spit it out both times. I have had the sweet potato hash in a previous visit, but it was sweet and delicious. It was different now.... More

The food was good and the martini was fabulous. They are helpful with subs for dietary needs and the staff is all very polite and efficient. I do find it very strange that they do not list the nutritional info of their food. I was told it was because the menu changes seasonally but I've been many times and haven't... More

The high ranking of this restaurant is well deserved. The food is beautifully prepared, but even better, it is really delicious. A group of six, we hit pay dirt on all that we ordered. Really good, quickly served in simple, but beautiful surroundings. Well worth a stop. In fact it shouldn't be missed. The whole idea of this restaurant is... More

This was my second time eating here...great food very artfully prepared. So fresh and healthy! Had the onion tart and the dumplings really flavorful. Somewhat expensive but worth it.

Imagine me: "who's Dr. Weil? How do you make minestrone soup without meat?" dropping into this place by sheer serendipity? Well you should too meaties. It's that crazy good particularly after a Cinco De Mayo hangover hits. Get the Kale anything, the hummus, a muffin and that hangover drink and you too will be humming if not singing Dr. Weil's...

I have dined here several times, and always enjoy coming back... I wish I could eat here all the time, with the creatively tasty fresh healthy food options by Dr. Weil, but it is too pricey to frequent on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Especially, in this economy. The fresh fishes are truly, deliciously prepared. I absolutely luv their kale... More

This was our first trip to Tru Food Kitchen. We had read Andrew Weill's book and were anxious to see how good healthy/fresh could be. We were not disappointed. After a 15min wait at Sunday Noon, we were greated by an entergetic server who was able to guide us through the menu. Great Fresh Food! Go!
