    Overall excellent! Love the happy hour specials - be sure to make a reservation in the bar area. The Caesar salad had WAY too much dressing and I was disappointed when we got the bill to see that my son’s lemonade was $7 and we were charged for his refill! $14!

    Trulucks does a fantastic job! Amazing fresh seafood and some of the best service in Austin, or anywhere. Bisque, Oysters, Lobster, and Sea Bass were 5 star quality. Waitstaff and managers are great at what they do, pros with perfect timing! Our visit hit on all cylinders and even gave me a quick follow up call today to make sure we had a great experience. Thanks for making our anniversary night absolutely special!

    They were short on writers in the bar. The music was so loud we couldn’t enjoy it and a conversation. Good musician but he needs to tone it down a notch.
