The dessert menu lists several chocolaty and fruity options. We enjoyed the banana-chocolate tart with a mesquite flour crust and Brazil nuts. Since the crust was a tad dry, a helping of ice cream would have made the already delish dish even better. Other somewhat guilt-free sweets include a flourless chocolate cake, an apple-cranberry crumble and a few uniquely flavored fruity frozen yogurts and sorbets.

What’s more is that True Food pays extra special attention to an area that many eateries tend to forget about: non-alcoholic drinks. Sure, you can get a soft drink or an iced tea anywhere, but True Food uses the juice of freshly squeezed fruits and vegetables to make 10 or so “natural refreshments.” They have the thoughtful presentation of a cocktail (you can even get a shot of organic vodka added if you’d like) and none of the chalkiness associated with health drinks. The piña colada is a cooling medley of pineapple and apple juices and coconut milk, and because it isn’t too sweet, it can be sipped with your meal. The Medicine Man—a blend of olivello juice, pomegranate juice, cranberry juice, black tea, soda water and muddled blueberries—is rich in antioxidants and flavor.

Though the food and drink alone make diners feel refreshed—the entire industrial-meets-earthy design of True Food is quite revitalizing. The sun-colored walls and booths, grass-lined patio and pale wood floors make for a cheery atmosphere while the sleek silver chairs, dropped pendant lighting and exposed warehouse-style ceiling are decidedly cool. With such stunning interiors and incredible, good-for-you-eats, would we say True Food Kitchen is our new favorite in Fox’s restaurant repertoire? We think so.
