My colleague and continue to look for our next “favorite restaurant”. Truluck’s does not fit the bill. The oysters on the half shell were small and overpriced. The lobster bisque came with a tiny morsel of lobster meat and was undistinguished, and the entres of sea bass and rock fish were too salty. Even the wine that we ordered was substituted since the Riesling that we ordered was out of stock. Overall this was a very disappointing dining experience that was overpriced.
