WHERE: True Food, Santa Monica
At the renovated Santa Monica mall, with fabulous indoor/outdoor seating and a clean modern vibe. We went with some of our closest friends (Veronica and her two boys) to have some pre-Christmas cheer.
MOTHER SAYS:
Veronica and I shared the chicken chopped salad (sans the chicken) with cranberry, local dates, jicama, manchego, farro, marcona almonds & champagne vinaigrette. The sweet and savory flavors blended perfectly with the crunchiness of the almonds and chewiness of the farro. It was my favorite item of the night.
We also shared the miso soup and tuna sliders, they were good. The Tuna was lacking flavor, but was served with a fresh, simple kale salad and butternut squash.

DAUGHTER SAYS:
The bison chili was so yummy. The meat was good and it was so so spicy and I loved it.
I loved my pasta noodles dipped in marinara. It is a great restaurant.
Rivers (Char’s 4 year old brother) had the margarita pizza, which he thoroughly enjoyed. It had a thin, crunchy crust and was not too cheesy.
Wilson (Char’s 8 year old friend) had a turkey sloppy joe, he loved it – and ate every bite.
OVERALL RATING:
LOCATION/AMBIANCE: 8 out of 10 – a bright and light modern restaurant filled with greenery and a comfortable patio.
SERVICE: 7 out of 10 – nice but not completely accommodating for children.
FOOD: 8.5 out of 10 – healthy, light and flavorful. Your body feels nurtured after eating here.
OVERALL: 8 out of 10- a wonderful option for lunch or dinner. It gets packed, so go early or late.
