    We had the most amazing experience at Truluk’s. The food, drinks, dessert and the wait staff made our experience memorable and we will return. Our table started with the Parker House Rolls, Calamari & a crab cake. Everything was delicious, rolls light & fluffy served right from the oven, calamari tender and crab cake the meat was wonderful, no filler. We felt it could use a little more seasoning but was still great. The miso rockfish with the crab fried rice was divine and the Branzino dish was flavorful and flaky. Cooked just right. And the Chocolate cake with ice cream topped it all off. Our Waitress MJ was wonderful she elevated the whole experience with her warm and patient hospitality. When I didn’t like the cocktail that I ordered she asked a few questions on what I like and came back with a guava lemon drop that was “everything.” We will return and MJ is a must to cap off our next experience. A 28th wedding anniversary for the books. Thanks to Truluk’s and their amazing staff.

    I think this place is targeting expense account diners, with $58+ mains, $20 cocktails, etc. Overall, it feels big and impersonal but the service teams are stellar and help make up for that. My main gripe aside from the millionaire pricing is that hey serve farmed fish—proven to be an environmental disaster. At those prices (and even lower tiers) they should be sourcing wild-caught salmon and tuna. Regardless, we were here for my parents’ anniversary and we all had a great time, and the staff even threw in a baked Alaska on the house, which was a nice touch.

    Thanks for visiting us, John! It's great to know that our service teams delivered with their stellar service.
