    Simply the best seafood in Austin. My wife got a filet with King Crab Leg topping which was also delicious. Top it off with a baked Alaska!

    One of our favorite restaurants to go to when we visit Austin is Truluck’s. The sea bass and salmon are our favorite and we have always ordered the waiters recommendation on appetizers which was the meatballs and they were delicious. Service is always good and the area where we like to sit (bar area) is relaxing and the perfect ambiance for a nice dinner.

    Dear Melanie, You can't wait the bar ambience. Between the light-up bar top and the piano, I think it's the perfect setting. Although I may be biased...Please come and join us again and thank you for the wonderful review. Sincerely, Alex Rediske Service Manager
