Twice in 2 weeks have had the same experience! Everything good if you like a 20-25?minute wait between courses! Not acceptable!
Think will have to rethink this place!
Disappointing.

What is this awesome place?! Kudos to whoever came up with this great venue, the cool menu and whatever system that is making this place the way it is! Bert was an absolute delight and definitely added to the experience!
The king Crab was great but the Snapper Pontchartrain was out of this world tasty! Just the right amount of spices and flavor, it was perfect!

This place is trying to be a high end restaurant but has fallen short where it matters most. Do not bother, extremely overpriced poorly executed food in every way, from their overly salty seafood, chewy lobster, to their lack of seasoning or true care for vegetable sides. It seems like there is no real chef in the kitchen, no one is tasting the food as its prepared. The staff seems pleasant and attempts to provide a higher-end experience by learning the name of who made the reservation, and the decor is trying, but the cheap plastic matts on the table give the secret away. The upselling starts right at the beginning of the meal with an extra charge for the bread, and an explanation on how only the larger sized crabs are currently available but a must. If you make it past the drinks that are too sweet and don't exactly match the description in taste and the doorsalesman waiter speech, you will be even more disappointed in the food that follows, which is truly not edible. I am perplexed how a seafood forward restaurant cannot prepare seafood. The last is the desert, massive in size if ordering the full rather than the mini version, the taste is lacking and does not match the description. From the quality and delivery of all the dishes it is a tourist trap chain restaurant experience perpetuating as a high end establishment. Save your time and enjoy an evening somewhere else that is actually worth it.

We dined at Truluck's several weeks ago, and we're still talking about it. That's how exceptional this place is. The crab cakes, caviar, miso sea bass, and carrot cake were all outstanding, complemented perfectly by their impressive wine selection.
What truly elevated our experience was our server, Ed. His attentiveness was remarkable. We joked that it seemed impossible for our wine glasses to get even halfway empty before he appeared out of nowhere to refill them. His service transformed an already excellent meal into something truly memorable.
We can't wait to return.

We went to Trulucks again last night and it was truly a memorable experience. The food was excellent as it always is especially the stone crabs. The service was next-level superior with William going above and beyond every step of the way! Five star from start to finish

I left Trulucks feeling so ripped off so please be careful and ask the price. I ordered a double vodka Kettle One straight , up with a glass of ice and a glass of cranberry juice. My Filet steak came out a 12 oz. Rare it came out cooked a little over but that was fine. What I thought was a dark char after taking my first bit the char was not a char but covered in black pepper. I literally scraped of so much black pepper on both sides. The was nothing mentioned about black pepper on the menu. I finish my drink and the waiter asked if I wanted another one so I said fine. When I paid my bill I noticed that my 2 double shot vodkas and cranberry were 68 dollars. I could have bought 2 large bottles of Kettle One of 1.75 liter and cranberry juice for less than that. The over charging on my two drinks when my wife had a 19 dollar Kettle One martini doesn't make any sense to me. I paid my bill and left feeling so ripped off that I might never return. So please make sure you ask for the price before you decide to make any drink a double.

Great food, great service. We'll be back on our next visit to Ft Lauderdale. The Sunday $59 menu was really good and a great value.

Hello, we have an awesome experience. The waiter was very informative, I think his name was Larry, and attentive. The portions were a good size and very delicious but I wish the crab has a little more meat. My husband seemed to have gotten more crab. I would highly recommend this location to my friends and family. Five thumbs up.

What a wonderful experience. The food was fantastic and our server Gregory went over and above to make sure our evening was a success. Thank you for a wonderful date night.
