We have been going to this Trulucks many times and tonight the food was mediocre. The stone crabs were not very sweet. The steaks were great though, but the Branzino was a bit fishy. The restaurant was kinda off a bit. It was the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. We’ve been going here about every six weeks or so the past few months as we live on the beach, and sadly last night’s dinner wasn’t so good. Of course the desserts were also fabulous and the highlight of last night’s meal . We had both the chocolate cake and the carrot cake. There were six of us. I also should say the server was excellent, and we never complain to him.

Good experience overall. However, steak was dry, which is why I didn’t rate it better.

The ambience and the service was amazing. The food was excellent and delicious dessert was delicious. Drinks were even better.. We appreciate Jason Johnson and Titus Turner came to our table after a very noisy loud couple sat behind us.. They were moved to a different area of the restaurant outside and that was much appreciated. As my friend had just lost her husband and she just needed some quiet dinner time. We really appreciate the attention they both provided for us. We definitely plan to return again very soon. Thank you so much for a great dining experience . AA PLUS. Kindly, Teresa S
