The food was good but I ordered lobster tails and they were made with an ingredient of frozen spinach. A restaurant of this caliber and cost should ONLY use fresh ingredients. I told staff about this oversight and they didn’t do anything. They explained to me that this dish was made well in advance and refrigerated. Again, this is not a practice of high quality. I’m not interested in old preparations for this price.

John, our very knowledgeable sever, was amazing! He did a great job describing the food and provided great recommendations. We went to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. He got the miso sea bass and I got the New England scallops. We also got the jumbo crab cake! Even the zero proof drink I got, the Spicy Berry was delicious! OMG the dessert was an old Alaskan, which I had never heard of, MY GOD! It was too good!! I think I have a new favorite classy restaurant. I did so good for his birthday! He loved it. Things to know: Parking underground was $16 They have a pianist Dress to impress

We were greeted by a wonderful staff member and seated immediately. Our server was absolutely awesome. He made sure that we were OK and checked on us frequently. The atmosphere was nice and quiet.

Ran out of everything and did not communicate the issues very well. The server was great and apologized profusely for the many many errors with the kitchen. Not the Truluck’s brand at all. This restaurants food also lacked consistency in preparation with the other locations.

Truluck’s did not disappoint. The food was delicately made to perfection. The flavors were not over the top, but just right for the palate and didn’t over power the fresh seafood. The service was more than awesome. We have nothing to complain about. Our servers were patient, kind, and damned impressive. The bar tender needs an award, whomever made the carrot cake should live forever, and the live pianist/singer was soulful. I’m making sure I cover everything because for those prices, y’all need to know exactly what to expect. The only shortfall was the restroom did not have seat covers. That is all.

The food was not good at all. Smaller portions than normal and it seems as if there is a different chef or recipe. We did not enjoy the food. The waiter was excellent as usual and the resturant was wonderful.

Truluck’s tonight was an outstanding experience! I’ve only dined there once before & my guests were first-time guests here. We ordered 2 of the 10-12 oz. lobster tail entrees & 2 miso-glazed Chilean sea bass entrees. I recommend both. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed both our meals & the service. Paul was our server & he was exceptional. He was very attentive & catered to some needs that even we didn’t realize we had. The floor manager (I think I heard him say Charlie, Charles or maybe Carl) came by to greet our table & was also engaging and attentive. Both he and Paul were quite pleasant. Even the hosts at the check-in stand tonight were fantastic & very accommodating. Altogether a superb celebration dinner outing. Would definitely return.

Excellent and fresh seafood dishes although very pricey when compared with similar restaurants. Service was prompt, courteous and efficient. The server pointed out that an 18% service fee was included in the bill but politely requested an additional tip. This was unexpected when European servers expect a maximum of a 10%. The experience was delightful anyway.

My drink had some black stuff and bugs were on my food. Additionally it was too expensive. After me showing bugs to server, they should have reimburse 50% of my bill but they did nothing.

Food was well prepared, while a bit on the pricey side ( $125 for a lobster tail). Great selection of seafood. Service was attentive & our server, Paul was a very pleasant & engaging individual. One strange & annoying thing…We were sitting in a corner booth & every time one particular server would reach us, she’d shout “corner!”. A bit distracting & I’m not sure what that was all about….was she worried that she wouldn’t be seen & would be knocked down?

My recent dining experience at Truluck’s in Washington, D.C. was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance exuded sophistication and warmth. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the extensive menu with expertise. The seafood options were truly a highlight, with the freshest catches prepared to perfection. I couldn’t resist the scallops, which were both heavenly. The wine list was impressive, and our server’s recommendation paired flawlessly with our meal. To top it all off, the live piano music in the background added a delightful touch to the evening. Truluck’s provided a dining experience that was not just a meal but a memorable culinary journey. I can’t wait to return for another unforgettable evening.

The price of the experience was not commiserate with the quality of the food. The food was seasoned well but the quality was moderate. There was a substantial amount of cartilage and fat in my steak and the drinks were subpar. Our server was nice but seemed distracted the whole time and was not attentive.
