It was just an okay experience. Our server took over 25 minutes to see after us. The mac and cheese honestly tasted like velveta and the crab fried rice wasn’t anything special. For the prices, I expected way more delicacy to my palette and exquisite cuisine.

This was our first time visiting the restaurant. The service was amazing. Although we were celebrating a birthday, the birthday girl didn’t receive her birthday cake. The food was ok. The cocktail shrimp were great. The crab cake wasn’t good at all. Our crab fried rice was missing the crab. The chicken was very bland. Based on the service, I would recommend the restaurant-just stay away from the crab cake and chicken.

From the moment we entered Truluck's, we were impressed. There is a dress code (call me old fashioned, but I appreciate this); our server was a true professional; the service was impecable and the food was outstanding. We went for our 20 year anniversary. Our server recognized the occasion with a treat for us. Staff assisted us with transportation at the conclusion of the meal. This is a genuine fine dining experience.

My team and I dined for Administrative Professionals Day. The ambience and food were excellent. Due to the light lunch crowd, we expected a more attentive server. Our party had to request flatware, crushed pepper for salads, crumb sweeper, and water refills. Our server even delayed the preparation time between courses. However, because he apologized profusely and the exceptional food quality is, I will return.

The worst service ever! If your restaurant is going to automatically add 18% service charge on a $400 bill for 2 guests than AT LEAST give us good service. The food and fish was to die for but the very poor service left us leaving very angry. The waitress never even gave us appetizer plates for the bread. No silverware in sight. I literally had a tabletop full of crumbs and messy fingers for 20 minutes before our waitress came back after the bread was brought to the table. I had to ask her if she noticed we had no plates or napkins or utensils. I hate being a Karen but really? I was very nice about it but this was not cool. If I had known they auto charge 18% tip I would’ve reported this to management on the spot. It left me angry all meal because she ignored us. We had to call for her multiple times and she only had like 2/3 other tables. Not super busy at all. I have been a waitress before so I know better. Will know what to expect next time we come because the food is worth another trip. Won’t let this happen again.

Our experience at Truluck’s was nothing short of amazing. The food was delicious and our server was awesome. Only thing I was not 100% satisfied with was the speed of service. It seemed to be rather busy and our server sometimes felt no where to be found. Aside from that, the food, ambiance, value and experience was great. I will definitely be returning!!!
