    We have been to Trulucks many times as this is one of my wife’s favorite restaurants. We had reservations for 4. This was our overall experience: 1. We asked to change tables, and we were told that was not possible. 2. Lychee martinis had no lychees because they had ran out. 3. When we asked for bread the response was we don’t have bread but you can get the rolls from the menu. 4. Second Lychee martini was something else. 5. Side dishes for the 4 orders of large stone crabs were room temperature. On a good note stone crabs were very good thankfully. No one ever came to ask how was everything. Trulucks was a disappointment this time around.

    We can get great food anywhere in this city. And the food was awesome! Lobster, stone crab, Mediterranean Bronzino, Cream spinach, crab fried rice, a couple of Long Island iced teas and a Bailey’s on the rocks to end the night with dessert! But the service was even better!! Our waiter Oscar was great. I am extremely big on service. I don’t care how good your food is if your service sucks. A very nice menu with a lot of great choices. First time there will be back for sure. Oh and valet not bad at $20

    We love Truluck's and tend to visit if one exist in the state that we're vacationing in. We dined with our toddler and had a great time. We had the shrimp cocktail, fries (for the 3 y/o), the Sonoma greens salad, crab cake and cauliflower rice, sweet and spicy grouper and the crab cake to go. We were celebrating my spouse's birthday. We truly enjoyed the complimentary baked Alaska for his birthday. This was BOTH of our first time having this dessert and it did NOT disappoint. No matter the state - Truluck's is a GEM and you can't go wrong with this establishment.

    I have always enjoyed fresh delicious stone crab claws at Trulucks but this time they were tasteless and seemed frozen, as the meat stuck to the bone. This has never happened and I hope this is a one time occasion as we spoke to the manager and he was very apologetic and spoke to the chef about it. They assured me that this will not happen again. Other than that, the restaurant, ambiance and service is always good.

    Victor was a wonderful host for my dinner during my short trip in town. Recommended the strip, which I find to be a bit poor quality. Creamed spinach was super salty and wouldn’t have expected gratineed cheese on top. I know for next time.

    Our server was immaculate, but the food just isn’t as good in the Miami location as it is in the Fort Lauderdale location. That being said, I was a little disappointed, I will factor in that it was a holiday and a very busy day, but I think I’ll continue going to the Fort Lauderdale location moving forward.

    We enjoyed the Thanksgiving menu. The restaurant was especially busy, and it took us 20 minutes to be seated (after our reservation time). The pumpkin cheesecake was straight out of the freezer, so I took it home and enjoyed the following day. Nice atmosphere, service, and entertainment (vocalist on the piano).

    Perhaps the kitchen and management were overwhelmed for Thanksgiving, but the meal was a disaster. 7:30 reservation and seated about 7:45. Except for $6 bread service we kept having for ask for and a couple of appetizers, we did not see our meals until 9:45. Three of us got the turkey dinner special. It was plated as an indecipherable big mound of food (turkey on top of mixed pile of stuffing, mashed potatoes,veggies) which blended into each other. The turkey breast was extremely dried out and inedible. My friend got the pan seared branzino which was also dried out. The waiter never came around to check on our status as we waited forever. Finally summoned the manager who was nice, comped a bottle of wine and ultimately adjusted the bill about $300, but this did not make up for the very poor quality of service, food and experience. Will not return nor recommend which is a shame because the vibe is cool and atmosphere really nice, but the food and service are unfortunately a huge dealbreaker. I don’t think it was the server culpability so much as the poor management tone and training.

    It was Thanksgiving so a 4:00 PM Reservation started out with attentive and good service but by 5:30 PM the place was packed and service slowed. We all got the traditional turkey and it was ok, nothing special. It took awhile to get the pre-fixe dessert and then forever to get the bill. I had to flag down the maitre'd to get it. It was a long wait at the valet. Yet, all in all it was expected I guess for the holiday.

    the steak was Very, very salty.. the bread is bad and charge $6 per order and cokes have not refills.. In previous visits do not remember theser charges. Other places like The Capital Grill do not charge for bread or coke refills and the bread is way superior.. There is no value in this place anymore.

    20 year anniversary dinner and had fantastic experience. Waiter provided guidance on fresh selection of the day. Live music was of background level and beautiful voice. Manager took time to check on each table. Valued that this establishment does not automatically add gratuity to check like every other restaurant in area- actually tipped more because of this. Would recommend Turlucks for any dining occasion.

    AWESOME... The minute we walked through the doors of Truluck we were greeted with a huge Welcome and Smile... We were seated right away. I have NEVER been to a restaurant that had menus that light up (no phone flashlight needed😂❤️) Our waitress, Isabella, was a joy. She made sure we had everything we needed. She is very kind, professional and attentive. They gave the Birthday girl a free flaming dessert, which we totally enjoyed. The food was beyond AMAZING!!! Anytime this restaurant is in any city I visit I will eat there. The ladies had Norwegian Salmon with the crab fried rice and I had the Miso-Glazed Sea Bass... Scrumptious!!! What really topped it off was the phone call the next day asking how our visit to Turluck was... WOW...
