The food was very good, but I've had better. The pre-cracked stone crabs were a little hard to eat without biting shell pieces. The ambiance was beautiful, though it was noisey.

Something strange was going on tonight apparently on a Friday night on a holiday week they agreed to host a private banquet in the adjacent room so we barely saw our server and our entree took an hour and a half to come out. This visit did not have the level of service we are accustomed to on our monthly Friday night visits to Trulucks. We visited a number of restaurants this week and we did not have this happen at the other restaurants. I feel this was a poor decision by the restaurant management.

Truluck’s food isn’t as good as Pappadeaux… and it’s a lot more expensive … the only plus is Truluck’s view

Second time to eat here. Had a much better experience the first time. Service was ok, not great though. Food waz ok, not great though - shareables that were ordered (mashed potatoes, and Mac and cheese) … were served cold, lobster tail was so salty that I had to send it back (it was removed from the bill). Not looking forward to a third visit, if even we consider it.

Overall service was very slow from the start. Ordered a few appetizers not all arrived. The crab legs in the seafood tower were spoiled. The manager addressed the issue and made it right. After waiting almost 30 minutes for the entrees some of the sides were cold. The steaks that were served were low quality but high priced. By this time we were ready to go. The waiter did a good job. I have visited this restaurant on multiple occasions and was surprised by the poor experience.

Hello Laura, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're really sorry to hear about the issues you encountered during your recent visit to Truluck's. It's concerning to hear that some of your appetizers and your seafood tower did not arrive as expected, and that some of the sides were not served up to standard. We also regret to hear about your dining experience with our steaks. We take all feedback seriously and will use your comments to improve our service and food quality. I know a manager did engage in the situation but if there is anything I can do moving forward I would like the opportunity to discuss further. Please give me a call at the store at your next convenience. Sincerely, Joe Wiley General Manager
