    We had wonderful birthday dinner on Sunday night. All the staff were very attentive and the wine sommelier help make some excellent Rose’s selections from Provence France. Gracie was our waitress and she was fabulous. We will be back.

    Fantastic seafood! Fantastic service! Lovely dining room. We had a wonderful evening. The only complaint was that we were seated right next to the kitchen, so lots of servers streaming by, carts, and noise from the kitchen. Next time I will call and ask to be seated away from the kitchen. But everything else was top notch.

    It’s been several years since I’ve eaten here. Things have really changed. I like the old Trulucks better and here’s why. The menu has changed and the variety of options and food wasn’t as good as in past visits. The atmosphere is fantastic. Beautiful restaurant. The service was spot on with lots of backup help for the servers. I may scratch it off my list for now. Oh, the lobster bisque is excellent. The shrimp cocktail was also very, very tasty. I’d go back for those two items. Did someone mention carrot cake. It’s as good as it gets.

    Service is really great. Oysters weren’t well shucked. Crab was mid. Mac and cheese ended up being the best thing we ate. I hope they fix these things, but will not be returning for a long time at those prices.
