We had the most wonderful experience at this Dallas location. The live music was great and the perfect volume on the second level giving a perfect intimate ambiance. Our server, Riley, was one of the best we have had in a very long time. He was informative, patient, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu.

It was our anniversary and there was a card for us as well as a delicious baked Alaska dessert as a complimentary dessert. We ordered a filet and shrimp and scallops with au gratin potatoes. Everything was delicious.

We had tickets to the Motown concert at the Meyerson Symphony Center and booked our dinner before the concert at Trulucks. We took advantage of the 49.00 two course menu available before 6:00pm and it was perfect. We love Truluck's, it is always delicious with excellent service.

Food was good. Service was quite nice. Salad was quite wet and wilted. They don’t offer much of a wine list. Overall, it was expensive for the offering.

This beautiful Uptown gem is a truly great seafood and steakhouse. It’s always a wonderful dining experience, especially when celebrating a family event. Menu’s offer a wide range of steaks, crab and other well prepared cuisine. Servers are friendly and very efficient, especially Ben who frequently serves our table. This is our favorite.
