    I surprised my wife by having dinner at Truluck's for our anniversary. This restaurant exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, and the service was incredible. We were greeted by the valet attendant in a professional manner. After entering the restaurant, the hostess greeted us very warmly, took us to our reserved table and congratulated us on our anniversary. Our server, Curtis, was over the top. He made us feel very welcome to the restaurant. His professionalism and knowledge of the menu was top notch. The food was prepared to perfection and served in a timely manner. I had 6 oysters on the half shell and the trout almandine (plenty to fill the biggest appetite) and my wife had a crabcake appetizer and the red fish Pontchartrain. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for inviting ambiance, fine food and professional service.

    Truluck’s never disappoints. Wait staff overcame a small snafu with one dish and comped desserts. Great venue for celebrating special occasions albeit a bit pricey. Presentation of food dishes was outstanding.
