"Known for its meaty, pre-cracked crab claws, Truluck’s flagship captures the elegance of seafood. Begin at the bar with a cold course, like the claws or the shrimp cocktail, set to the sounds of a live piano performance. The dining area is the next best place to enjoy dishes like the rich, soul-warming lobster bisque, the jumbo lump crab cake, or entrees like the miso-glazed sea bass served with crab fried rice. Cement the night with a slice of its moist carrot cake." - Brittany Britto Garley
"This fancy restaurant will be serving its regular menu on the eve before Christmas, which means it’s a great option for a steak or lobster (or surf and turf) kind of night.

For dessert, there’s a special chocolate peppermint cake with chocolate cake, peppermint cream cheese icing, crushed candy, and Godiva chocolate sauce. All its DFW locations are open from 2 to 8 p.m." - Courtney E. Smith
