We have been there many times already and the menu seems real close to TRU. We LOVE this place. The food the service the drinks the people are all very acceptible. I would recommend the place to anybody. Cottage Grove really needed a place like this Never been to TRU But the owners have recently opened a spot in Cottage Grove named 1855 Saloon and Grill.

The food was interesting, economical and overall very good. That was earlier this year. I recently took my four year old daughter for an impromptu early dinner (as I had burned the one at home). We arrived around 5:30, and were told they were all ready and seated us immediately. As we languished for over half an hour without a soul in site, it becamse apparent that this table situation wasn't going to work out. Not only was the table rocking like a drunken sailor, but my daughter's chair was also rocking, creating the strangest and yet dangerous situations I've ever faced in a restaurant. When a server finally appeared and I addressed the situation, she was greatly offended by my suggestion that we be moved to another table. Did I mention that this server was a cast off of the defunked Mill Street Inn and had in her previous life told me to just "eat my dinner" when it arrived partially frozen? I will not even go into the mediocre stuffed shrimp and dry macaroni. Or the fact that the server removed my daughters cup as she was trying to drink it and threw it away. The experience was horrendous. Goodby TRU. TRU started out with a bang…we were all so hopeful, especially after the crash and burn of Mill Street Inn.

I was a little skeptical about how it would be after reading some of the comments on here days prior, but I just have to say that the food and wine was FANTASTIC!!! I'm originally from Cambridge and used to enjoy The Clay Market Cafe, Graham's Cambridge Mill, but haven't been to please with other new restaurants. I would highly suggest TRU and feel as though the pricing for the portions was unbeatable. I had the Topped Ravioli with shrimp and scallops...it was delightful! I do have to say though, we went on a Tuesday night. i've seen how busy this restaurant can get on the weekends and with the staff being as young as they were (many in high school) I can see how there would be a long wait for a table and food.

We were both very impressed with the menu, our food and the waitstaff. I had the Panini Melt and my friend had Quesadillas; both were wonderful! We sat in the bar and were also able to get glimpses of the patio patrons' food as it was taken past our table after leaving the kitchen. Everything I saw looked fantastic. One of my favorite discoveries was that they offer raw veggies and a yummy, home-made ranch dip as a side. It's great to have a choice other than fries, which is all many restaurants offer. After looking at the dinner menu, my husband and I will be going there to celebrate my birthday this Friday. I am looking forward to trying some of their great sounding entrees.

I have had an entree, salad, pizza...and they have all been really good. Great Mojitos too! It really is a wonderful addition to Cambridge -- and I hope it stays there for many years!

Owners, Craig and Lisa are incredibly involved and committed to great food and service. Craig has been at the counter each time as the food comes out of the kitchen to assure it gets out to the tables quickly. The cooks and servers work like a well oiled machine--good teamwork. We love having this super new restaurant so close to us in Lake Mills--a breath of fresh air. We have enjoyed eating at Tru three times recently and have always had wonderful food and drinks.

I've only been there once when they first opened and I've been begging my boyfriend to back ever since Get the cheese curds...and the Bartender named Blake is the best bartender in the world. :) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE TRU!

We had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated outside. My husband and I both had the fish fry and found it to be very good and inexpensive. I really liked the sweet potato fries. We'd recommend this place to others, and the guitar player was great! We tried out TRU tonight, had a very cheerful server named Kris. We had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated outside.
