A Stellar Dining Experience at Truluck's – A Must-Visit Culinary Destination I recently had the pleasure of dining at Truluck's on 700 K Street NW, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we were seated, we were warmly welcomed by Connor and Aries, two outstanding servers who enhanced our evening with their attentiveness and professionalism. As a party of two, we carefully reviewed the menu and were drawn to the Shrimp and Scallops but were hesitant about the cauliflower rice accompaniment. My go-to dish, the Rockfish Pontchartrain, is always an excellent choice, but we decided to inquire about substituting the Crab Fried Rice with the Shrimp and Scallops. The restaurant graciously accommodated our request, and I must say, it was an absolute triumph. The meal was flawlessly executed—each ingredient fresh, vibrant, and meticulously prepared. The scallops, in particular, were outstanding, boasting a perfect balance of taste, color, and texture. Every bite was a testament to Truluck's commitment to quality and culinary excellence. From the impeccable service to the outstanding cuisine, our visit was an unforgettable experience. Truluck’s continues to set the standard for fine dining, and I look forward to returning soon. Highly recommended!

We had asked for certain accommodations with the cooking of our food and unfortunately on this visit, these accommodations were not met. Asked for steak to be MW, received medium and even after recook still under. Though this is not the first time we have ordered steak and it was undercooked. Asked for no nuts on salad, unfortunately they came with nuts.
