I really wanna love this restaurant. The staff was very professional. The food just was not great. The ribeye had no flavor. The crab fried rice was not that tasty. It was kind of bizarre with very large vegetables in it. Honestly, the best part...was the fresh bread at the beginning, but that’s where it ended. Dessert (chocolate cake) was mediocre. Just too expensive $800 for 4 peoples dinner and only one desert shared among us.More

Very cosy and exclusive restaurant in Dallas. Always been my favourite. My visit today was not on same level as before. I wonder if more people think the same, because pretty empty for a thursday evening. Lobsterbisque as starter was good, but not wow. Then...fresh crabclaws from Florida was amazing, my main reason for coming here. Ribeyesteak was a big flop. Overcooked and not great meat quality. They only have 1 sauce in this steakhouse, what on earth is that?? The bernaise they had not even good. Where is demiglaze & peppercorn sauce? Service was friendly even my waiter forgot my saucec & sideorder. Its a very high price in Truluck, then they need to step it up an deliver 100/100 like they always did before.More

Wonderful dining experience with friends / business associates. Everything was perfect: atmosphere, service, food and drinks. Our waiter was outstanding, and everything ordered was perfectly delicious! Will definitely be back again.

Seafood was excellent, service friendly but a bit off: my wine arrived after my app and waitress asked if I was ready for dessert while I was about 2/3 through my dinner. But a lovely place.

Riley!! Had a business dinner and we decided not to leave Riley at the bar for our appropriate reservation. What an amazing experience! Riley had very little direction from us on what to cocktail us, but we were all amazed and thrilled. Seriously, walk in,...ask for Riley and let him delight. Your welcome. :)More

We went to Truluck's in Dallas for my daughter's birthday. We had a nice time. I had the ribeye steak and my wife had the scallops with mashed potatoes. She said it was good. My steak was good and we enjoyed our time there. They...brought a baked Alaska for my daughter's birthday, so that was very nice of them.More

Came with a group of people and loved everything. Crab fried rice was excellent. Also enjoyed the Lobster Mac & cheese. Best crab cake since the Chesapeake bay. Wonderfully cooked scallops. I highly recommend this place.

We were staying nearby and stopped in here for a drink and a snack based on a previous great experience at their restaurant near O’Hare. They have a happy hour at this location but no food is included. They are also state 25% off spirits...but that does not include cocktails (or at least our bill was not discounted.) They had an unusually good wine by glass menu price wise though it was unclear if that was a happy hour menu or not. Since we had reservations later on for dinner we just had drinks and an order of the salmon crudo and randomly, some rolls. Rolls came out fresh from the oven in a small pan. They were wonderful but served with the most tasteless butter that had ever existed. Salmon crudo was delicious. Very dill forward, which may put some people off but was just perfect for my tastebuds. Salmon was high quality and the portion was generous. At 15, the cocktails were a deal. The Key Lime martini was just sweet enough and the old fashioned was solid. I also had a glass of cava which was served in the long flutes that have become a rarity.More

Celebrating our 35th anniversary we reserved a table at Trulucks. We were not disappointed. Starting with a mix of oysters which were fresh and delicious.. with an added champagne dipping sauce that was delicious. We next had the most wonderful lobster bisque… I believe they...have a horseradish goat cheese in it that added creaminess and a bit of spice! Wedge salad was on point. We also had large Stone Crabs that were perfection… along with their creamy mustard dipping sauce.. superb! They were kind enough to bring to our table a baked Alaska to celebrate! A must eatery! The service was exceptional.More

I am basing this review on a take out order. My boss chose Trulucks for our company Christmas party. The food was really good, although the order was a bit messed up. Although I didn’t get the salad I ordered, the calamari I did get...was delicious. The dessert portions were huge! Big enough to share, although I didn’t. Have reservations to visit later in January. Looking forward to it.More

We were delightfully surprised at how delicious everything was. Our "tired from days of driving to Dallas" dinner turned out to be a very special evening. We're coming from Maine and were guarded about having seafood mid-country, but really no need. That was the best...crab cake either of us had ever had (husband is from MD), and everything else - Sea Bass, Bronzino, Alaskan Crab was perfect. The Crab fried rice with my Sea Bass was more crab than rice! Even the asparagus was remarkably tasty. That kitchen knows what it's about. Our server & staff were also lovely. (No idea what that other complainer was talking about).More
