We went there for a birthday celebration. We were greeted with a personal Birthday card and later received a fabulous dessert. The birthday celebration was for someone who had never eaten at Truluck's before. She was very pleased with everything. I have eaten there before. I am happy to see a delicious pre-fix menu. We will be back.
