Pricy but foods were so tasty and had great portions on each meu. Service from the waiter was so bad. My mother-in-law took me here to treat me for Mother's day 2022 and I picked this place. I regret choosing this place because she is still talking about how bad the waiter's service was. I still have no idea why the waiter had such a bad attitude to us. Even though we love the food, we will not go back to this place. Giving 2 stars because of tasty foods, otherwise will give only 1 star.

I went to Trulucks to celebrate my birthday and had a terrible time. The server ignored our table, walked pass multiple times and didn't ask how we were or if we needed anything. The food was okay and I enjoyed the oysters but the service was so poor I will not be returning.

August 6th, 2022. Their AC was out and it was 94F outside. Need I say more about why I likely won't go back during the summer. Food was great, ambiance was poor, it was difficult to enjoy the food with the sweltering heat.

Such a beautiful atmosphere and incredible food and service! The rolls aren't ordinary rolls-- they're buttery and delicious balls of dough. Be careful not to fill up on them before your main course. The seafood was divine. We had the tartare to start off and if melted like butter in my mouth. I had the salmon for my main course and asked for the miso glaze to accompany it-- 10/10 recommend doing this! This filet was absolutely delicious!

The service here was very good. Our servicer Ababa was phenomenal...and those staff members who came by to support. The service was the only thing they have right as the food itself wasn't to the level of expectation based on the location & price point. We had a ribeye & salmon dish w/crab fried rice. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for a meal. Drinks & music ambiance maybe.

I would recommend this place for dinner, especially when Nyla McDaniel is singing!We called ahead to see who was performing, and when we heard it was Nyla we rushed in to get a table. The service, food and drinks were great, and sitting in the bar area with live music was really what made the evening outstanding.The food and drink that I liked most were the crab fried rice and spicy blackberry margarita. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Made last minute reservations for 2 of us as we were craving crab legs & oysters. The restaurant was fairly empty at 9pm. My fiancée was told to remove his hat because of the attire but we were dressed business casual. The couple next to us is a guy wearing FLIP FLOPS, shorts and a t-shirt. His date had a sweater. If you're going to pick and choose, make sure it is equal with every one of your guests. We felt pretty awkward after that but whatever we were hungry. Forgot our servers name but he was great & attentive. Even gave us recommendations so we went with some oysters, king crab leg, salmon & Mac & cheese. My favorite would be the crab leg especially with the butter, delicious!!! The garnish they add on the crab leg was just as good, you MUST lick the shell as you eat the crab lol. The mac and cheese was our favorite because of the jalapeños. Our bill totaled to roughly $260, no drinks or tip. The most expensive item was the crab leg for $125 as it is market price. We hope to return soon & be serviced by the same guy.

Great food and even better service and atmosphere. They treated our kids like little adults and everyone had an amazing time with even more amazing food!

The lobster bisque was terrible it was way too rich it almost tasted like a tomato soup and too much tomato paste. Lobster Mac was also really bad noodles were over cooked and did not taste Like lobster Mac at all... salmon was pretty good. Kinda plain tho... The steak was decent and mash were okay... very over priced not best quality food... the waitress was super nice Tho! Great service and the ambiance was beautiful

Crab cakes delicious best in the City of Chicago. Live entertainment was outstanding. Love the fruit service with the water. Salmon was ordered well done and although not usual request for Salmon brought to table lukewarm. Problem was rectified immediately however manager was rude with response that fish was cooked through. Had dinner there a few days earlier and service had been outstanding. It seemed a little off this night but might be due to it was a Friday and crowded. Restaurant is beautiful and socially distanced. I will definitely recommend and plan to go back. Hopefully it will be one of my new favorite restaurants.

We enjoyed our dining experience from the time of our arrival to departure. We were welcomed and served with warmth and skill. Our waiter was very helpful with menu choices and answered all our questions. The food was fantastic from appetizer to dessert.

Perfect location and excellent food. Just finished the Under Armour 10K and needed high quality nourishment. Truluck did not disappoint. Food and service were great on a quiet Sunday evening. I would highly recommend

Solo dinner after an afternoon of meetings. Attentive and friendly service. Food was great, bar forgot to bring out my cocktail, but otherwise everything was terrific. Mediterranean Branzino was awesome!

Unfortunately a large party was sat in our section and took all the attention from the servers so we were left a bit unattended to. The salt and pepper calamari was very good as well as the salads, the main courses ( steak and crab legs) were just ok. We didn't get dessert even though it was my wife's 50th birthday because we were waiting too long to order. The staff was trying very hard - they just had too much too handle. It does seem like a very good place and maybe we just got a bad night.
