    If you are looking for a great place with super service Truluck's downtown is a fantastic place. The upstairs dining room is perfect for conversations while you can still hear the recorded music from downstairs. Menu is well laid out and offers smaller portions as an option even on the dessert menu.

    We had an amazing experience at Trulucks for a pre-valentines day dinner date. The service from Donald was top notch and the experience was pretty close to perfect. The appetizers - tomato salad, oysters, and caviar were all great (and a small hiccup with drowned caviar was quickly resolved). Both of our main courses for King Crab and Sea bass were extremely tasty and great and the dessert of Chocolate mousse cake was also amazing. Overall we really enjoyed our time - love the light up menus too and will be back again.

    Loved the option of smaller main plates. French 75 was a bit too lemony, but still did the trick.

    As a former Austin resident, Truluck's was always one of our favorite dining spots. While back in town for a business meeting, I knew exactly where to take our clients for a great dinner—Truluck's was the only choice. With their selection of fresh seafood flown in daily from the East Coast, they did not disappoint. The large crab claws were a standout, especially for our guests who had never tried them before. In fact, their CEO enjoyed them so much, he ate three himself! Truluck’s remains a must-visit for us whenever we’re in Austin or at one of their other Texas locations.

    Hello Ron, It is truly an honor to know that Truluck's remains one of your preferred destinations. We take great pride in our commitment to sourcing the freshest seafood, and we are delighted that our signature crab claws left such a lasting impression. Your continued patronage is a privilege, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you again, whether in Austin or at one of our other locations. Thank you for your unwavering support and kind words. Sincerely, Fernando Nunez General Manager
