    Excellent! My wife and I celebrated our anniversary Saturday evening by dining at Trulucks, and it was fabulous. Minia, our server was delightful and so was our dinner. From King Crab legs and lobster bisque to filet mignon and Baked Alaskan, everything was superb. Love the ambience, the food and the service. Special occasion or not, Trulucks is a real treat. Highly recommend!
