    We didn’t wait to be seated which was good. Appetizers and drinks were served quickly. However after that the main course took a long time to be served. We normally are done and out for about an hour and a half. Here, it was close to 3 hours which was a long time. And the live singing was horrible. I didn’t mind it but my husband was disturbed by it lol!

    Another fabulous experience at Trulucks! The Arboretum location is our go to spot and they never disappoint! Ryan, our most favorite staff member, was spot on as usual. We thank Alex and all the crew at Trulucks for being open on Christmas Eve and providing such a great meal and awesome dining experience.

    Everyone from the Greeter to the the end of our evening out was perfect. We celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary and everyone was so attentive. Taylor or waitstaff went above and beyond to make our evening out perfect and our beverage manager found just the right wine to complement our two diverse menu orders. All in all a wonderful experience

    Best seafood in Austin. Only complaint was bar service as was taking 10-15 minutes to get our drinks. For the price of eating here, the bar should operate more efficiently.

    Our favorite restaurant for all celebrations. Last night we had a reservation for happy hour at 5 for 6 of us. Then dinner was at 5:45. I had reserved happy hour a month ahead of time verbally with hostess when I was having my birthday dinner in November. When we got there last night there was no record. Bar table for only 1/2 hr. We asked if we could go to our table for happy hour. Hostess said ok. Manager came over and was not very helpful. They finally gave us happy hr prices. Said they don’t do happy hour in the dining room. Food was great. Service was great. But it did take the shine off of our annual dinner.
