"The service at Truluck's Arboretum is excellent. Servers are knowledgeable about the food and are able to offer great suggestions. They know when to be there for you, and they know when not to be. The food was excellent, both in the bar area and at dinner. The lobster bisque was very creamy but was not overwhelming in aftertaste, as some bisques can be. The Scottish Salmon Bernaise was nicely cooked, with a crisp outer coating of the salmon giving a nice counterpoint to the rich creaminess of the bernaise sauce.
All in all it was a great evening out, and Truluck's helped make it so."

"This is the second year we came to Trulucks for our anniversary and it was amazing both times! We actually said we might make this a anniversary tradition! We still had the managers business card from last year and saw him this visit, he was so impressed he gave us to complimentary drink cards! Our waiter was so good. Good energy and extremely knowledgeable! And of course the food was outstanding!"

"It was Mothers Day and the service was sub par to the normal food quality & service. The waitresses were a little over whelmed, bless their heart. They certainly gave their all. Management needs to find a remedy for big occasions to maintain their reputation. All around everything was one notch lower than the norm for the restaurant that I have previously experienced, which I have always considered the finest in Austin. Still my favorite!"

"We celebrated our sons's college graduation with dinner at Trulock's. Service was very good for our group and our server, Robin, was knowledgeable, engaging and efficient. Most of our group had not been to Trulock's before and they were uniformly pleased with out drink service and menu selection. Seven of us had fish which was well prepared and well presented. Our son had a steak with crab and he said it was prepared medium rare, as he had ordered. We completed our meal with a good port, another first for most of our guests. Trulock's staff and service made the evening memorable for us all. Highly recommend."

"He had only been to Trucklucks two other times, the first experience was unbelievable- we sat outside. The second time the food was a little off, but that was a number of years ago. We decided to have our next date-night at Trucklucks this past Friday and we were so glad we did. Every bite of food was exploding with flavor, our server was on top of eveything, and we had a cozy little booth this time. We had been there about one hour when we realized the place was packed- but we were in our own little world and didn't notice the place filling up around us. It was just perfect! I am glad we went!"

"This place is really, really dark. Unnecessarily dark. I understand they are trying to create romance. I get it. I don't need it to be glaringly bright, but it would at least be nice to be able to read the menu and actually see what I'm eating (amazingly delicious morsels of succulent crabmeat vs. tiny pieces of shell) without being forced to whip out the flashlight."

"We went there with a 6 yrs old boy. We received an outstanding service from the lady greeting us in the front(i did not get her name). She was friendly, helpful and has an appropriate manner. We were seated at the booth, which is to our prefference.
Our waiter for the day was Michael. He was great. We do not eat beef, pork or chicken except for seafood and veges. He patiently explain to us and suggested few items on the menu, and tell us how they prepared the food. Even our little on who is normally cranky at later of the day, had a good time in the restaurant.
The manager pays a good attention to the customers too.
All in all, we had a great time. Will be back early june."

"Truluck's at the Arboretum has amazing service and food. It is pricey if you order the specialties (South African Lobster Tail), but worth every penny. Perfect place for celebrating a special occasion. The night we were there, the spring weather was lovely and they had all the doors to the patio open which made the dining room extra pleasant. What more to say? Just go."

"Wonderful place to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The staff didn't miss a beat in commemorating it. We even got a signed card congratulating us. Expensive, but I promise it's worth every penny. My husband is more of a steak guy than he is seafood, and his steak did not disappoint. We had the Florida stone crabs to start and then I had the Dutch harbor crab legs for the entree. Absolutely excellent!"

"I hadn't tried Truluck's in a while and decided to go there on a Friday during Lent...they have made many changes, and all for the better! I went back when a special occasion came up, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and taken care of! The food is fresh and prepared perfectly, their timing was impeccable, and they came back just enough to make sure we didn't need anything. The energy inside is wonderful, and you could tell that other tables were having fun as well. I would recommend this restaurant whole-heartedly, I'll definitely be going back! :)"

"Went for All-You-Can-Eat Monday Night stone crabs. Have done this for years. Noticed that the trend has been prices increasing every year - now at $69 - and at the same time the delivery of each subsequent set of claws seems to have slowed down. We very much enjoyed our experience. Waiter was good. It was crowded; however - - - it took us over 2.5 hours. I am fine with leisurely - but . . . at 2.5 hours that just seemed more than leisurely and more like a slow roll instead."

"We have been to Truluck's Arboretum on several occasions. This time was our 39th Wedding Anniversary. I am a seafood lover. My wife almost always tries one of the many off the menu offerings. Two shrimp the size of lobsters, in a special sauce and cheese grits. Their desserts are outstanding. Just a tip, plan on splitting the dessert, they are huge. Coffee from a French press was a wonderful finish. We will be back."

Makes me look forward to birthdays!"

"We are from Chicago where great restaurants are plentiful. We have a fantastic restaurant called Gibson's. It has everything your restaurant has but the prices are much more reasonable. Their waiters are some of the best I've ever seen outside of New York. Your restaurant was very nice. The food was very good, but certainly no better. Go online and check their prices. Why should steak be so much higher in the Lone Star state? Your waiter, Dan, was very friendly and attentive, but clumsy when it came to serving the dessert and smeared chocolate all over the white table cloth. The wine was fine, but one that we easily purchase here at home in Chicago for much less, in spite of high tax added on. You guys need to reassess your prices"

"If you want to impress with the freshest and best taste in seafood or steak, then Truluck's is the place to go. My family always goes there for birthdays and other special occassions. It always pleases! If the location were on the lake or in the Hills, then it would be world class. But, if you want fantastic food in pleasant surroundings and a great wait staff. It is not cheap but well worth the price. Go to Truluck's in Arboretum."

"Seems Truluck's was the only restaurant in Austin that I could find that had Florida Stone Crabs. I couldn't even get them in Florida the week before. Reservation was right on time. Seating hostess, Matre Dei, and server were top notchprofessionals. The food was fantastic; appetizer, delicious stone crabs, sides. The incredible signaturedessert: The Chocolate Box was out of this world. The service was five star, and our waiter, Rixon, was very attentive. Received a phone call and voicemail the next day, checking whether we had an enjoyable evening. I wanted this to be a special restaurant to take my son to, who is in the military, and is deploying overseas in a few weeks. Well done on every level!"

"The usual sophistication of the service that we experience at Trulusk's was missing to a noticeable degree on this viist. One of the managers was a bit over-exuberant and overly famliar; the other was refined and appropriate. And, sadly, our waitress' manner was more suitable for a diner than for a fine-dining experience. She approahed our table as a series of tasks to check off rather than as people present to enjoy fine-dining. She addressed both my wife and me respectively as 'Honey' at differnt points in the evening; a choice that was glaringluy out-of-bounds. The food was, as always, exceptional. The bisque is still the best, though it appears that the crab cake has been changed to a larger bulkier presentation, a single cake."

"One of my favorite places in Austin. I live over an hour away and we get down there once a month or so. The main attractions are the crab & desserts. Service was as always impeccable. The crab cocktail was the opening salvo and quite the highlight of the evening. See you again & soon."
