We've been dining at Trulucks on Westheimer for decades. This was our first bad experience. We started dining in the bar area to enjoy the live music a couple of years ago. The bar servers have always been exceptional, the cocktails are great and the food great too. However, the bar was packed with 2 VERY LOUD tables so we moved. However we still couldn't hear each other (4 of us total) sitting at a small round high top) because the music was turned up so loud. The worst part was the servers. It seemed as though the entire staff changed and we're not very attentive. We were re-seated at a table that didn't wasn't set up. We waited for about 20 minutes then asked the server if we could get silverware and napkins since the bread service we'd ordered had arrived. We had to flag her down for everything. Brandie, our favorite bar server, has been there for years and is always an excellent server, on top of everything as well as others we've had but not on this visit. We sure hope Brandie just had the night off and the regular bar servers will be back very soon.

Terri, Thank you so much for your constructive feedback and years of patronage. This Saturday our live musician fell ill and we apologize that the music was too loud in the bar. We will absolutely monitor this more closely. We do have some new faces in the bar area and your constructive words will help us improve their service for you and all others that dine with us in our bar. Please reach out to me personally on your next visit and I would love to stop by to meet you and ensure you have a wonderful experience. Sincerely, Cary Grider - Managing Partner
