Family style plan, but the plate sizes were quite small, like the beets the 4 of us got 2 little pieces each. mushrooms too small. If it is family style , it should be enough for 4 people we thought. Couple bits of steak, and chicken and pork/neck also. Drinks are expensive too, 8 drinks around $150, The bill was $700 and I had to have a snack when I got home as I was hunger. Cool spot and great waiter guy with a cool Dog!

Service was a little slow for me. Server not as attentive as I wanted. Considering the prices for the portions served I was not satisfied. I felt that the portions were too small and the service not at the level I’d hoped. I would not return

Had an unbelievable evening at True Wild. The server Peter really made the experience 5 stars. We had the tar tar, beets, marrow and lamb. All of it was phenomenal. The beets were the best I’ve ever had. The lamb is mouthwatering. Great venue and have already booked another visit.

It's worth a trip to this restaurant and distillery in a renovated industrial building in an unexpected area of the city. The food was excellent and the service just as good. The building itself has lots of character and has a stunning Art Deco event space with a bar and a view of the city skyline on the top floor.
