“This was our first experience at Truluck’s, and we were very pleased. Harmony provided exceptional service, she was always kind and attentive. We enjoyed every part of our meal, from the appetizer to the drinks and the main course. Everything was delicious and well-presented. Definitely a place we’d return to!”

Shout out to Gabby. Took care of us for happy hour. Food was incredible. Yes you’re going to pay a lot but you’re not only paying for what you eat but for the experience. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and treat you like royalty. Shout out to Maria. Her service, charm, smile and cherry ear rings made this a night (& birthday) to remember. Also gluten sensitive people need not worry. Great choices for a main dish and those gluten free almond cookies were🔥🔥🔥

Service was exceptional! Great atmosphere and bourbon selection. My wife and I had the stone claws and lobster bisque for appetizers. Both were delicious. The lobster bisque was phenomenal; the best I ever ate. My wife had the lobster Thermidor and I had the Alaskan king crab legs for dinner. The crab legs were split open for easy dining. Both dinners were beyond delicious!

I had a large group for dinner with a set menu. I thought the quality of the food and service was good but the large group prevented this from being 5 stars. The crab cake was stuffed with lots of crab, meatballs were tasty. Salad was really good. Shrimp cocktail was also good. Steak was not served hot as well as cooked to medium well instead of medium, garlic was over cooked. Chocolate cake was on point. I would go back and prefer not with a set menu. Didn’t take as many photos as I hoped too

From the moment we entered we were greeted with warmth and a refined professionalism that makes one feel like, “I am going to be taken good care of here.” The seafood is fresh, the wine selection is great, the menus are backlit and the ambience is upscale without being pretentious. Our server was Justin and although he was very busy with a large table he made sure to not forget about my fiancé and I. He was friendly and gave us some fantastic recommendations on dishes to try. We truly enjoyed every bite we had. If you get dessert, GET THE CARROT CAKE! We truly felt welcomed, thank you for such a lovely experience!

Delicious food & excellent service! Katie was fantastic ☺️ The staff was very attentive and welcoming. Ordered the Seared Tuna and it was outstanding! It melted in your mouth. Shrimp & scallop dish was delicious. The Baked Alaska & Carrot Cake were great to share and very tasty. Great view by the beach and nice music. 10/10 recommend.

We have been to Truluck’s before and had a great experience with Maria as our server. We requested Maria again, but she was not working. We were advised by the GM that he would seat us with another server that would provide a great dining experience. It was our son’s 19th birthday (noted on the reservation). We were seated at a window table with a view of the beach, a little birthday confetti, and card on the table at the place setting where our son was seated. Patricia was our server. Mike (GM) did a great job pairing her with us - She did provide excellent service!! We started with a seafood plate including shrimp cocktail, oysters, and stone crab claws. This was served with a trio of condiments, including a mustard sauce, minionette, and horseradish. The platter was smoking from dry ice, it was a great presentation. I had the wedge salad, no bacon, added red onion. Patricia took a table picture before the sky was dark with the smoking seafood platter. For entrees, we ordered the Blue crab stuffed lobster tails (2 Petit main lobster tails stuffed with crab cake), with mashed potato, asparagus, and a small cup (~ 1-2 oz) of lobster bisque to drizzle over the tails. My husband had the miso glazed sea bass over crab fried rice. A nice size piece of fish over rice and topped with a light cucumber slaw. I had the Pappardelle Bolognese (plant based sausage and meatballs in a tomato sauce with cashew ricotta over pappardelle pasta). Chefs kiss for this vegan entree! Trulucks did a great job creating a hearty, flavorful and well seasoned vegan entree!! Desserts — Our birthday boy was then presented with a a beautiful Baked Alaska. We also had carrot cake topped with caramel sauce and pecans, and a chocolate layer cake with cream cheese/peppermint icing topped with hot fudge sauce. The service manager, Titus, came by to introduce himself, thank us for dining at Trulucks, and wish our son a HBD. Class. Another successful dining experience - Thank you!
