                                                      Black Crab Claws were stinky and only fair. Char on both sides of our Steaks overwhelmed the taste of the meat. Baked Alaska was the perfect Birthday treat. We love Trulucks and will be back for our Celebrations.

                                                      I took my best friend to dinner last night at Trulucks, one of her favorite restaurants. We had an amazing experience from the minute we walked in the door. The beautiful young ladies at the front reception desk were so professional and friendly. The bartenders were attentive and created delicious cocktails for us. Jenna was our hostess and she was so patient with us and another one (I forgot her name) was lovely and showed us the upstairs of your new restaurant, which is magical. John was our waiter and he was very attentive and knowledgeable, and was also kind and professional even with our quirky questions and requests. I would ask for him as our waiter again. Everyone at the restaurant was great and the birthday celebration they provide for their guests birthday is really special. We created some amazing forever memories that night. Thank you, Trulucks.
