    The mansion does not fail! It was beautiful like always! Great food and the staff (servers) were very very sweet. Especially our one server. The girls at the front can look a bit unfriendly, to the point that makes you a bit unwelcome but overall it was a beautiful Christmas Day at the Versace mansion. Maybe a little renovation on the chairs would be good too. It is price friendly (kinda) so in my opinion, the furniture should reflect the “luxury” look. At least a good cleanup. The food was really good, we had the spaghetti with lobster.. the burrata was amazing.. drinks pretty good.. no complaints at all! Thank you for making our Christmas 2025 beautiful all the way from Canada!

    Another excellent meal and overall experience at Truluck’s Miami - this time on Christmas Eve. The restaurant was beautifully and tastefully decorated, we were personally greeted by the manager and other staff members, the waitstaff are all incredibly professional and friendly, and the food superb - not only in terms of taste but also in terms of presentation. Best presentation of lobster bisque I’ve ever seen and it was delicious, as was everything we had. We especially appreciate that the waitstaff all manage to strike a perfect balance between attentive and discreet. Truluck’s is a gem of a restaurant right in the heart of Brickell.

    We were in downtown for one night & went here for dinner. It was the best part of our stay in Miami. We were greeted warmly and sat quickly. I did have a reservation and would highly encourage one. It is a small venue with additional outside seating. Our server Dani was great! The entire staff provided exceptional service. They have a wide array of dishes to please even the pickiest eater. Everything we ate was beyond delicious. The food came out piping hot. We each had soup and a pasta. The pasta tasted as if made fresh. So good. If I'm ever back in Miami, I would definitely recommend.

    From the moment you enter and see the funky, eclectic decor, you know that you're in a welcoming space. You'll be warmly greeted and seated. The menu offers enough plates to allow for a variety of palates, but few enough that allow them to be perfected. The homemade pasta dishes are always an excellent choice, the salads are fresh and the panini are lovely. If you love eggplant parmigiani, you're in luck. And the dessert menu is divine!
