Truluck’s food and atmosphere did not disappoint. Lobster bisque, Parker house Style Rolls, Sonoma Salad, Blue Crab Stuffed Lobster Tails. All divine. Rolls are not to be missed! Spicy pecans on the Sonoma salad are not spicy, thank goodness. Blue crab stuffed inside my lobster tails was unforgettable. I was not a fan of the au gratin potatoes. If a food item can be too rich it was these potatoes. That’s just me. Menus that provide effective, soft light when you open them? Nice touch. Holiday nog was a strong drink. Too strong. My zero proof Berry Patch was unremarkable. Ambiance was fantastic. Service was friendly and observant. Impressed my first-timer family members! Thanks, Truluck’s :0)

Excessive wait for table. Sauce on redfish looked like mud, was way too spicy and had a synthetic taste. “Lump” crab cake had an almost liquid character. Prices given food quality were excessive. Place was a bit worn around the edges. Will not return.

My team and I are remote from our corporate office and so we decided to have our Christmas dinner here. We showed up a little early and checked in. Then we sat at the bar and had a drink before heading upstairs to our table. The servers were all very friendly and nice, they took great care of the entire team and allowed us time to talk without interrupting. The food was great as always. The streaks were cooked to perfection.
