The service was stellar. Seamless, professional and perfect from the host, wait staff and even the manager stopped by. The lovely flambe dessert with a card for our anniversary was a sweet suprise. The filet oscar was perfectly done and very flavorful. The Alaskan King crab aswesome and tender with extra creamy drawn butter. The African lobster tail was perfectly... More

We had a prearranged dinner for 25 people, and it couldn't have been better. We had two choices of appetizer and four choices of entree (beef, chicken, fish, and vegetarian), and all eight people at my table liked our dishes. The staff were attentive but not hovering. (I can't speak to the prices because I didn't organize this dinner.) More

Truluck's is one of those famous places where you expect to pay to eat. It is located in the Warehouse District in downtown Austin. The atmosphere is beautiful but a bit dark. The waiter had a powerful penlight that was helpful in reading the menu. It was a bit too noisy for conversation, loud people at the next table and... More

I was hesitant to eat here as I knew the prices but it was absolutely wonderful. My only complaint is that they do not have any medium priced wines by the glass. Our waitress was also extremely professional and the lighting was very good. Great place but not for kids. More

I visited Truluck's with 3 business associates and it's located in the Warehouse District downtown. Obviously, they're known for seafood, but they have other things on the menu for those that don't. They had a nice wine list from moderate to very expensive. We all had either the lobster bisque or corn & crab soups to start things off and... More
