Truluck’s did not disappoint. We were here for a special occasion, which I let them know about when I made the reservation. We were seated at a lovely booth, and the table was decorated with sparkles and a birthday card. We started with mojitos, the crab cake appetizer, and the lobster bao. All very good. For entrees, I had the NY Strip with bacon wrapped shrimp and mushrooms. My boyfriend had a ribeye with the same sides. We ordered a nice bottle of Pinot Noir. The steaks were perfect, the mushrooms were delicious, and the shrimp were huge. For desert, our waiter surprised us with a flaming baked Alaska. It was really good. Overall we had a great meal and really enjoyed ourselves.

The best assortment of drinks from hard to get scotch to nicely made cocktails to sumptuous appetizers, this place has it all. Grateful to have chosen this place for anniversary dinner. Will come back again!

We hadn’t been to Truluck’s for happy hour in quite a long time and thought we’d check it out again. We were generally pleased with our visit.
My advice for happy hour is first to arrive early. Or, as it turns out, you can reserve a table in the bar. We were actually kinda surprised to arrive minutes after 4:30 and find just one table available to us. The bar was already almost completely full and every other table had a ‘reserved’ sign on it. We’ll reserve next time.
Given a regular glass of wine is around $14, it’s goodness to arrive at happy hour where a few of the wines by the glass are 50% off. There’s a wine list too for 50% but we didn’t check it out.
We enjoyed the Blue Crab Guacamole although just note that it comes with plantain chips rather than tortilla chips. It worked fine though.
Also went with the Lux Burger & fries. Very good. They even let us split and brought it to the table on separate plates. Thought that was nice.
Waiter was attentive and helpful.
Only disappointment was the website said music in the bar would start at 5:30pm and the pianist was only arriving around 6:30 when we were departing. Bummer.

I went to Truluck’s for a CE class that was held by various medical vendors and I must say that it was an amazing experience for my first time. The food here is amazing. I had the filet mignon with family style mash potatoes and broccoli and the chocolate lava cake for dessert. The steak was so tender that you could have cut it just with the fork itself and it came with a roasted garlic bulb to squeeze on the steak. The service was impeccable. The restaurant itself is beautiful designed and super cozy and it’s a perfect spot to take a date. I highly recommend and I cannot wait to return to try their other menu options.

For my 45th birthday dinner, my husband and I wanted to break away from our usual steak routine and indulge in some exceptional seafood, so we chose Truluck’s Austin—and it exceeded every expectation.
We began with jumbo fresh stone crab claws, beautifully chilled and bursting with sweet, delicate flavor, paired alongside crispy, perfectly panko-crusted oysters that offered the ideal balance of crunch and tenderness. My husband warmed up with a velvety lobster bisque, rich and flavorful with just the right touch of creaminess.
For my main course, I chose the miso-glazed sea bass, which arrived perfectly cooked with a glossy, caramelized glaze that imparted a subtle umami depth and melt-in-your-mouth texture. My husband went with the broiled salmon, which was tender, flaky, and seasoned just right. To elevate the meal, we added the truffle king crab butter—a decadently creamy, aromatic sauce that infused every bite with luxurious flavor.
The highlight of the evening was the surprise complimentary baked Alaska—a stunning dessert with layers of warm cake, cold ice cream, and toasted meringue that was both theatrical and delicious. My husband’s chocolate malt cake, part of his course menu, was a perfect finish—rich, indulgent, and comforting.
For drinks, he enjoyed a vibrant, fruity sangria while I sipped on a refreshing zero-proof berry patch cocktail, bursting with fresh berry flavors and a crisp finish—perfect complements to our meal.
The elegant ambiance, attentive service, and thoughtfully crafted dishes combined to create an unforgettable birthday celebration. If you’re craving fresh, sophisticated seafood with a touch of luxury, Truluck’s Austin is a must-try .

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Good happy hour at the bar and a great piano player that really adds a lot to the atmosphere without being too loud or disruptive

Food was overall ok. The lobster bisque is what gave the food rating a higher grade. Personally I enjoyed the appetizers more than I did the main meal.
The bass was alright, but I’ve had better. The contrast of flavors wasn’t what I expected it felt a bit too salty.
My date ordered the salmon which was overall pretty good to her, but I tasted it and I’ll keep that comment to myself.
I do wish the atmosphere as far as people was better. There were some quite loud tables around which really ruined the experience for my date’s birthday dinner.
If you go definitely get an appetizer so you’re not all the way disappointed.

This play was all we expected and more. Really enjoyed the trout and the mule to wash it down with!. Love that the waiter was so active and supportive of my request to make this occasion very special and complete! Let’s just say this was a night that we will never forget. Also lovely atmosphere for a couple to connect with a romantic vibe and low lighting! Definitely recommend

The ambiance of this restaurant is unbelievable.Nice intimate setting, classy servers, vibrant and tasteful food. A blissful welcoming environment. My husband had the steak with broccolini, which was divine juicy and tasteful. I had the lamb chops with the potatoes.The lamb chops were so tasteful.It percolated my taste buds, and I have never had lamb chops before.That first experience was explosive. They we’re welcoming and show gratitude of you choosing their restaurant to dine. Thank you to the team for an uplifting experience.
