    A beautifully detailed elegant feel to this stellar restaurant. Tarkan was our waiter and sommelier and made us feel well taken care of. The whole branzino and miso sea bass were a delicious followup to the wedge and Sonoma salads. My husband said the French press coffee was the best he had this week of our stay in Austin!

    Good place for a business dinner that isn't just steaks, although the ones that got steaks liked them.

    Excellent dining experience from start to finish. Sergio put on a masterclass with fine dining serving. He was attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. The food was, as always, the star of the show. From lobster bisque to the stone crabs craws, everything was up to Trulucks high standard. I even received a phone call from the restaurant the next day to check in on how the evening went. Truluck’s truly sets the bar for service and food. This is why we choose to dine a Trulucks whenever we get the opportunity.
