Tru By Phil Vettel Tru labors to convince the diner that it is a place where every detail has been seen to, every desire anticipated. From the moment you call to reserve a table until the time when, with some regret, you end your visit, Tru labors mightily to convince you, at each step of the experience, that it is a place where every detail has been seen to, every desire anticipated. Awe-inspiring stuff, to be sure. And potentially intimidating, except that the staff takes pains to put patrons at their ease.
Waiters define menu terms as they describe dishes.
The snob factor hovers close to zero. Chefs and spouses Rick Tramonto and Gale Gand teamed with restaurateur Rich Melman to create Tru. Dining at Tru is fun. Saffron sauce, whipped into a frothy foam, surrounds the mosaic. The most visually impressive starter is actually the simplest.
