The…read moreambiance was great, the service was attentive, and everything we ordered tasted fresh and flavorful. One thing that stood out was the ceviche. The flavors were good, but it felt a little heavy on the cucumbers, avocado, and greens, and a little light on the seafood itself. For the price, I was hoping for a bit more fish. Overall, it was a really enjoyable meal in a beautiful setting, and I'd definitely come back to enjoy the patio and try more dishes.

We had an 8:30 reservation and they were about to seat us inside but when we asked for an outdoor table, they worked their magic and got us a great spot on the patio under the twinkle lights.

I get the hype of this place from the vibe to the food.

It was topped cheese and just added the extra touch! The refried beans were the most liquidy I have ever had but all the flavor was there so no complaints! My husband had the Cali Baja Tacos and when I tried it I have to say I hadn't even chewed yet and tasted the balanced and vibrant flavors! I need to come back to get them myself!

My cousin is in town with her sister-in-law & daughter…read more They selected Truluck's for dinner. I was a little apprehensive for a couple of reasons: 1-I don't eat seafood. 2-I'm often leery of corporate/chain-style places. *Yes, I go to them but often times not good experiences. Let me tell you something, my concerns vanished almost as soon as we walked in. My cousin made reservations and we were sat immediately. They were pretty busy however, we had such a lovely time that we shut the place down. We were there for almost four hours! It's easy to get lost in conversation with a good glass of wine (or a bottle + several glasses after that lol), good company, food, and a place with great ambiance. The ambiance was spot on. The decor and lighting are exquisite. I can see why so many people choose Truluck's for a special occasion or date night. It's upscale & magical. Truly a premium dinner destination. Service was incredible. Talk about premium...we were treated like royalty. Curtis went above and beyond for us. Such a nice & sweet guy. Even at the end of the evening when we shut the place down, the manager took pics of us on our behalf and chatted with us as well. He didn't make us feel rushed or that we weren't wanted there any longer. Food: We had sides for the table that included asparagus, truffle fries, Lyonnaise potatoes, and Parker House-style rolls. All delicious. I had the tomato salad (minus dressing) with black pepper & it was perfect as a summer main. It paired wonderfully with the asparagus & bread. My cousin had the filet mignon cooked at medium. I had a couple of bites and that was one delicious steak. Her daughter had the Ora King Salmon and she absolutely loved it. She said it was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My boyfriend and my cousin's sister-in-law had the lobster bisque and they were in heaven. They couldn't stop talking about how good it was. Must have been because it had a strong lobster smell (remember, I don't do seafood). My boyfriend loves a good wedge salad so he had one with his soup. He was definitely jiving on its goodness. The sister-in-law had the jumbo lump crab cake and raved about the texture and flavor. As I mentioned earlier, the wine was flowing. However, I opted for still water with orange & lemon slices. We all had still with either citrus or cucumber slices. My boyfriend and I kind of shared a mini-Manhattan. By kind of I mean I had three sips. That was a proper Manhattan. Cheers to the incredible mixologists on staff. We rounded the evening out with two desserts for the table, Baked Alaska (see vids) & Key Lime Pie. Holy sugar were they good! I was pleasantly surprised by this experience and look forward to going back again. It's nice to be able to spend time with family in such a luxurious setting. Impeccable all around.

They all qualified for the happy hour except for the lobster pasta. Everything tasted amazing. I enjoyed the crab fingers the most because it was flavorful and left me wanting more. The oysters were so good as were the fried shrimp. The lobster pasta was also a highlight of my meal because it had chunks of lobster meat. The restaurant was surprisingly large. It doesn't look much from the outside but when you walk in, you immediately see how spacious the dining space is. There are large couches and tables. Staff is friendly and service is quick. Parking can be challenging to find since you'd need to park on streets.

Austin doesn't have many great seafood restaurants so I'm so happy that this place exists!!! 4-5:30…read moreis happy hour and my group basically ordered one of every app that was on HH. The buttered crab fingers were SO damn good we ordered another. The smoked trout dip was lovely. The shishitos were surprisingly spicy but I enjoyed that. The fried oyster slider was only fine, and I would probably skip that going forward (I think it's a Gulf oyster). But the raw East Coast oysters were delicious! Mains: i tried the lobster orrechiette ($46 on the day I was there) and one of the specials of the day, a pompano with kabocha and gailan. Both were great but I really especially loved the creamy lobster pasta. After a long week at work, it just really hit the spot. For dessert, we tried the pot du (chocolate) crème, the flourless chocolate torte, and the olive oil cake with blackberry sauce. My favorite was the pot du crème which was so smooth and decadent. The flourless chocolate torte felt a little lost under all the cream, and the olive oil cake was just a little too sweet for my tastes. But others in my group loved those ones. This place is so unassuming from the outside but so so lovely on the inside.

It was one of those moments were you kinda take a couple of bites, take it in...gently nod your head a couple of times, and softly say to yourself, "yep, yep, that's it". The other taco that made me feel like that was also a ribeye taco at La Buena Barra in MTY, MX. It's one of those things that changes your mood, your emotional state etc. It really was that good. Now that we have that out of the way, how was the other food? Excellent! We have four dishes and I'd would rank them: 1) catchetada 2) (tied) cochinita pibil & ceviche 4) fish tacos Both the cochinita pibil and ceviche were excellent - loved how the meat was wrapped in a banana leaf. The ceviche tasted so fresh with such interesting flavors to it. Similar to Suerte (which I loved) the tortillas are great. The 4th ranked fish tacos were fine, but didn't stand out that much ( and yes, i know, this probably isn't the joint for fish tacos) The space, both inside and out, was beautiful, the service is attentive and friendly (incl. hostess & servers), good drinks. Lastly, I have to say the value - what you get for the price ($15 taco notwithstanding) is some of the best in ATX! Este is one i can't wait to return to and would recommend and bring family / friends visiting. Can't wait to come back and try many other things as this is now one of my favorite restaurants

Completely different experience from when they first opened!…read more We had reservations but had to wait a little while before our table became available. We didn't mind, but Arielle, the Maître d', made the experience even better by offering us a complimentary beverage. It was unexpected and such a thoughtful gesture. As soon as we were seated, Johnathan took excellent care of us. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided fantastic recommendations. We tried the este ceviche, tuna tiradito, quesadilla de hongos, and pescado a la crema--every dish was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. The Garden G&T was refreshing and perfectly crafted. They now offer a daily happy hour from 5-6 p.m., and on Fridays from 12-5 p.m. they feature specials on select bites, $10 margaritas, and 25% off bottles of wine. That definitely ensures I'll be back for many more visits!
