    Really amazing experience! I especially loved the quality and freshness of the oysters. The red snapper ceviche was so fresh and just the perfect combination with citrus, orange and cilantro. The tilefish with garlic butter just melted in your mouth. Amazing! I even loved how they did the salads with very simple olive oil and lemon. Truly amazing foodie experience! Landry did an incredible job serving us! The service, food and dining experience was outstanding!

    We had an outstanding anniversary celebration at Trulucks. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and were seated at a very nice roomy table. The ambience was nice, with tasteful holiday decor. Curtis rendered outstanding service and the level of attention was just right. Nothing was rushed and all of the menu items arrived with perfect timing. Points of service were adhered to without any of the stuffiness that can sometimes accompany that. The food was prepared with great skill and the flavors were on point. In honor of our anniversary, we were presented with a table side Baked Alaska which was divine. Every member of that staff thanked us as we left, and felt very genuine. We don’t get to have dinners like this very often, so it was so nice for the experience to really deliver. We loved it. Thank you to Trulucks and the wonderful staff! Will definitely visit again as soon as we are able.

    What a memorable night! It was worth the wait of having to make a reservation months in advance. We dined on a Friday evening and there was such a synergy to the entire restaurant. Even the Chef on expo looked so at ease with tickets flying in, he stopped and said hi to a smiling baby. Our server Kevin made us feel welcomed and as if we were the only table he was serving, just flawless. The steak cut like butter, it was perfect and highly recommend. The gnocchi reminded me of the last time I was in Italy, just delicious fluffy pillows. Our 9 year old had the Bolognese and it was bursting with flavor which was unexpected but delightful. We also had the meatballs and garlic bread, a perfect way to start the meal. Save room for dessert, you will not be disappointed. The only criticism was that our table was by the entry door and it was drafty and cold. I had to keep my jacket on during dinner, but other than that we look forward to returning in March!

    We had a fabulous evening at Eddie V's in Austin. We started with a Shrimp Cocktail. The shrimp were unbelievable! We followed up with the Wedge Salad. Divine! She had a Filet Mignon. It was delicious, tender and juicy. She's still talking about it! (And if she's happy.....I'm happy!). I devoured the Scallops which were out of this world. Luigi served us and you can't do better than Luigi. Just the best! Needless to say we can't wait to return.

    My girlfriend and I made a last-minute decision to visit Perla's, and we're pleasantly satisfied with just about everything. We ordered 3 appetizers: Octopus, crab cake, and tuna tostada. All of them are excellent in different ways. Individually: - Crab : great brightness from the (celery?) And green apple salad to compliment the fresh brightness and creamy sweet aroma of the crunchy cake. By far my favorite. - Octopus: the sauce it's served over has a nice subtle dimension without overpowering the octopus. Nice smoky spicy profile. - The tuna tostada is what you expect from a Tuna Tostada. Nothing special, but you get exactly what you pay for. The tostada integrity and texture and crunch was phenomenal. The tuna itself was of fantastic quality and generous portion. Wouldve preferred some sort of spicy ponzu instead of the typical habanero aioli. Seems played out, but maybe that's just my preference. Then, we finished with the lobster bucatini. Now, this was value! Super rich and creamy and filling. The lobster was stupendous. Only gripe is there was one claw that I couldn't pry open. Sadly, that was tossed out. Dining room was clean and beautiful but quite tame. Service was fast and intelligent. We had dinner in about 60 minutes and left full and extremely satisfied. Overall. Dishes were pretty and tasty. Everything was great. Will visit again Didn't get my servers name, but that man was obviously a seasoned server as he read the room perfectly and approached exactly at the right time and for the right amount of engagement. 5/5
