Truluck's is the shining star of fine dining, folks! We had our reservation set for 6:30 PM on a Thursday, but we decided to show up a little early at 6. Lucky for us, the place wasn't packed, and we were seated faster than you can say "table for two!"
Now, let's talk about the service--it was top-notch! Our server was like a food whisperer, offering recommendations that felt more like a friend sharing secrets than a typical menu pitch. We kicked things off with the Lobster Bisque, and I've got to say, while we've always had a soft spot for the version at Perry's Steakhouse, this one might just give it a serious run for its money. Creamy, savory, and buttery enough to make you question why you ever settled for anything less.
For my main course, I went with the filet mignon topped with Pontchartrain sauce and lobster thermidor. Let me tell you, this steak was juicier than a gossip column--perfectly tender and cooked just right. The Pontchartrain topping added just the right amount of zing, making my taste buds do a little happy jig. And the lobster? It was so buttery, I half expected it to ask me to dance!
As for sides, we ordered crab fried rice, parmesan mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach. The potatoes and spinach were exactly what you'd expect, but that crab fried rice? Wow! It had this unexpected coconut flavor that brought a delightful sweetness to the meal--so good that I could've easily ordered a second helping and skipped the rest of my meal. My wife kept insisting we need to come back just for that rice, and I totally get it!
The atmosphere at Truluck's was just right for everything from romantic dinners to serious business meetings. You won't have to shout over your neighbor's conversation, that's for sure.
Just a heads up--dining here isn't exactly budget-friendly. If you're watching your expenses, you might want to save this gem for a special occasion. Whether you're treating yourself, impressing a date, or sealing a business deal, Truluck's is the kind of place that makes you feel like a VIP. So grab your fancy attire and get ready for a night to remember!
