The piano player was fantastic and made the bar area the perfect setting for drinks. The appetizer was great , it was the best calamari I have ever tasted. My steak was also delicious and the chocolate cake dessert was HUGE and we had to take it home because I was too full.

Could not ask for a better dining experience for my birthday. Food and service was excellent. Our server, Carla, was most attentive and seemed to sense our needs before we did. The floor manager came around and made sure we were happy. The food was excellent - three of our party had the South African lobster tails and I had... More

This place has great food, great drinks, and a wonderful bar...with a very good piano player...when you combine this with some strong happy hour specials, you get one of our favorite places to go. Granted, it has to be a special occasion as it still is a little expnesive by our standards, but it is always on our short list... More

Had the most wonderful time at Truluck's for our friend's birthday. Its a beautiful location. The restaurant treated us like royalty and gave our friend a special appetizer for his birthday. The food was great and the service top notch. I can highly recommend this place!

Been here several times. It can't be something you do all the time because it costs a pretty penny. They're known for seafood, but I don't love seafood so I always go with a steak. Always really yummy and cooked as I expect. I know I shouldn't focus on sides, but the parmesan mashed potatoes are absolutely wonderful. Ambiance is... More

In need of seafood fix among all the TexMex and BBQ in Austin, we tried Truluck's and had a delightful evening of great food, lovely (if a bit campy - swordfish on the walls) atmosphere, and impeccable service. We did not try the steaks on this trip, but we will return. What a delight.

Truluck's is the best restaurant for seafood in the Austin area. There were 4 of us for dinner, plus a 10 month old. It was amazing how well the staff dealt with us and the baby. The baby kept eating the very delicious bread- 4 loaves, and we ended up with the crusts! Fantastic! The crabcake appetizer was delicious- filled... More

We were greeted by the manager, seated and the great experience began. We ordered from the 'date night' menu. Fresh, delicious food-seafood being the focus-and the service was outstanding, a lot of team work among the staff which is always welcome and a good idea for upscale restaurants. The wine deal was tempting and we ordered the Paza Barrantes 2011... More

This place is great for either personal and business dinners or drinks. I set business meetings here as often as I can. The bar appetizer special are great and you can always find something tasty. If you have a dinner for two or a dinner for twelve the service and food quality is always outstanding.
