    Every part of our evening was perfect. The attention to detail of service was exceptional. The food was plentiful and delicious. The staff was attentive, not solicitous. It’s a night with the cost.

    Tone, Ryan and the male bartender (can't remember his name) were all wonderful. Top notch customer service! You all should consider adding food other than oysters to the happy hour menu.
    Truluck's - Ocean's Finest Seafood & Crab - Washington, D.C.Responded on June 8, 2025
    Hi Felicia, thank you for the review and taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Although Oysters are the only thing listed as half off the other food items are priced out for happy hour. I will be sure to let Tone, Ryan, and the other bartender is Tal know what a great job they did. Have a great day. Sincerely, Joe Wiley Manager

    Me and my son go out, in June, for our birthdays each year. We chose Truluck’s and we were glad we did. They treated us like royalty!!! They ensured our birthdays were special by leaving a birthday card for both of us on the table. The food was delicious and the desserts were even better. We left the restaurant with a big smile on her face and our belly was full!!!!

I am so happy we were able to show you a great time. Hope you both enjoy your day and hopefully we will see you again next year if not sooner. Sincerely, Joe Wiley Manager

    Had a reservation, but still waited — because apparently, punctuality doesn’t mean much here. Killed time at the bar with a drink that tasted like regret (and straight bitters). Once we finally sat, the service dragged like it had somewhere better to be. Staff barely acknowledged us, and the vibe screamed we’re not that into you. For the price and prestige, Truluck’s gave big chain energy with little luxury. Not rushing back.
