We love Truluck's. We wish we had one in Nashville. We use to eat at the one in Dallas and loved it. Also Ft. Lauderdale.
Prices are high no doubt about it. I had their special drink Voila! It comes to the table bubbling and was very tasty. My husband had a Martini. Almost $40.00 for these drinks.
Oysters 1/2 dozen and a shrimp cocktail to start were excellent. Petit Sea Bass and Petit Branzino fresh and delicious. Great yeast rolls, which I noticed were an extra charge of $6.00, not sure we knew that. And petit chocolate cake for dessert.
We had a lot of petit offerings and still spent $200.00 for dinner for 2. We feel it was worth it. Our server Lucas was professional, engaging and nice.
We would return and recommend this restaurant.

I had been waiting for some time to try stone crab again and this restaurant did not disappoint - - very excellent !! The atmosphere and service in this restaurant are outstanding and very elegant without any attitude. From greeting to paying the bill, everything was well executed, properly paced and made us feel like valued customers. My wife’s branzino was excellent and the side dishes of asparagus and mashed potatoes were served in the center of the table to be shared. We even managed to save some room to share a slice of key lime pie. It was truly one of the better dining experiences we have had in some time. It is expensive but for us completely worth it. And the stone crab was exactly what I hoped it would be !!

Not up to expectations. The service was awful. The entrees came before the appetizer. Plus the appetizer was cold (not supposed to be). The 2 rating was generous. I guess everyone has on Off Night. .

This place is amazing
Light up minuses, beautiful music, perfect service. I would go back every day. If you have any type of special event this is the place to go. Get a reservation in advance. You might even see a celebrity ( we did!).
I had the blue crab stuffed lobster tails, and we split the chocolate cake. Everything was perfection.

Overall, great service and wonderful experience! We came in drastically underdressed and they were so kind and never made an issue of it. I got a filet that was cooked perfectly. Others in my group also enjoyed the meal. Our waiter gave us wonderful service and we really appreciated it!

Great atmosphere. Great live music. Great drinks.
My wife and I sat at the bar for a few drinks and had a great time. Live pianist singing Chris Stapleton was a nice touch.
Big shoutout to Walter at the bar. Great hospitality and great chats.
Can't wait to come back!

We enjoy going to Trulucks a lot. We find the ambience, the service and the food to be outstanding. Last night we were there for Thanksgiving and had a marvelous dinner. Even though the restaurant was packed, it was a very festive evening. Our waiter Derrick made us feel as if we were the only ones he was serving. The food was fantastic. Everything was perfect.

Simply a perfect spot for fine dining. From the ambiance to the service, and of course the food- this Trulucks location offers one of the best dining experiences in the area. The crab stuffed lobster tails, as well as the salmon entree were delicious and flavorful. Our waiter Lucas was excellent as well- attentive and elevated the experience.

We celebrated our anniversary at Trulocks last Saturday night. The food and service were excellent. Wine list is very good. Food is very expensive, but it was worth it while celebrating a happy occasion.

We had reservations on a weeknight and visited the bar before we were seated. The happy hour bar menu had a nice variety of wines and cocktails and the prices were reasonable. The bar staff was very friendly. One of us ordered from the “Miami Spice” menu and one ordered from the main menu. The crab cake was almost all crab and delicious. The homemade rolls were warm and yeasty. I ordered the sea bass with miso glaze and lobster bisque. Both were amazing and the sea bass may be my new favorite dish. Our waiter Joey was attentive, friendly, but not hovering. From the decor to the lighted menus to the food and the service, this was a first class experience. I’m ready to return to Truluck’s.

It's Miami Spice time again! The hubby & I both love this place, especially during Miami Spice time! Lunch meals cost $35 and dinner meals cost $60 during this time. I find it a gr8 way to sample expensive places for more affordable prices. Remember to ask for the Miami Spice menu b4 ur seated otherwise, they...forget. U get a choice of an app, a choice of a main course & a choice of a dessert.
We had reservations but it was clear we didn't need them. The place was empty. Love it. We were seated right away & warm parmesan yeast rolls & soft butter soon followed. Yum, yum, yum. Please note that they are not complimentary! They cost $5.00 but they are delicious!
If u wish, u can add on anything from the regular menu (which, btw, lights up when u open it!!) @ their regular prices! The hubby wanted a shrimp cocktail app not offered on the Miami Spice menu. So be it. We also ordered the salad, beef medallion tenderloin w/mashed potatoes & creme brulee along w/the lobster bisque, jalapeño salmon w/mashed potatoes &carrot cake.
The shrimp were HUGE!! I don't care for cold shrimp, but I did eat 1/2 of one of the five in the order. Still not my fave but golly, they were huge! The salad was also huge & yummy. The steak medallions (2) were so small. That's sad & why not THREE?! One actually looked as if someone bit off 1/2 of it. I was not happy w/the size or the quantity, but I was happy w/the taste. The taters, on the other hand, were so bland. Our server, Nyema, graciously suggested a sauce. She brought me a bearnaise sauce which made the taters tasty. Thank u Nyema. The creme brulee was run of the mill. Nothing spectacular.
The bisque was not hot enuf upon arrival but when it returned, it was perfectly hot and scrumptious. Both the hubby's salmon & taters were yummy. He had a sauce on his taters. I did not pick up on the jalapeño flavor tho. We brought the carrot cake home & it too, was delicious.
I love this place & I love Miami Spice!
P.S. The ladies' room - clean.
