    Another excellent meal and overall experience at Truluck’s Miami - this time on Christmas Eve. The restaurant was beautifully and tastefully decorated, we were personally greeted by the manager and other staff members, the waitstaff are all incredibly professional and friendly, and the food superb - not only in terms of taste but also in terms of presentation. Best presentation of lobster bisque I’ve ever seen and it was delicious, as was everything we had. We especially appreciate that the waitstaff all manage to strike a perfect balance between attentive and discreet. Truluck’s is a gem of a restaurant right in the heart of Brickell.
