Patrons of tru restaurant and lounge are treated to an authentic fine dining experience. From the freshly baked bread to the ice cream, all tru dishes are prepared from scratch in-house, creating a fusion of international flavours. Meals are savoured within a setting that boasts a decor similar to what you'd find in a New York City venue, made up of rich mahogany furniture and soft lighting. Choose one item for each course:
