Wow—this was hands down the best steak I’ve ever had. As someone who truly loves and knows good food, I can confidently say this place stands out. We ordered the crab cake, and the portion was generous. The stone crab claw was incredibly fresh and flavorful. All the side dishes were just as impressive. To top it off, the service was flawless.

This was my first experience with Trulucks and wow!! A+ and worth every penny. First, I called and made a reservation earlier in the week for my fiancé’s birthday. Requested a seat with a great view of the lake. Our night was perfect. Amazing view! Card on the table for her! The food was exquisite! Started with Calamari, Caesar salad both were outstanding! She had a delicious lobster plate, I had the ribeye steak. Amazing flavor and portions! Service was absolutely top notch. Would HIGHLY recommend. Expensive, yet very very worth it for a special occasion. Also gave us a complimentary dessert which was unexpected and mind-blowing! Thank you!!

We celebrated our 2nd year anniversary on Friday 5/2/25 and this was by far one of the finest dining experiences we’ve had.Definitely Top Tier service and attention to detail was phenomenal. Thank you for making our anniversary a memorable experience. We will return soon.

A solid experience dining at Truluck's in The Woodlands location. The location is on the waterfront, and the interior of the restaurant creates an elegant visual atmosphere. Also depending on what time of the day you go the window here curtains are open to view the sunset on the waterway, and when the night sets in the lighting inside changes and the menus have a backlight similar to an e-reader to see the menu and create a ambiance for the evening. There was a live performer playing the piano that made a vibe to be enjoyed. With reservations, the wait was less than 5 minutes, and we were seated. Prior to ordering you're served water with the option to add fruit slices such as lemon, lime, orange, or cucumber. If this is your 1st visit and you see many tables with bread just a heads up it is not complimentary. It is listed as an appetizer on the menu and is worth paying for. The bread is soft and is topped with parmesan cheese and olive oil drizzle. Other appetizers we chose were the creamed spinach and mac & cheese. The spinach was tender and combined with a creamy béchamel sauce and topped with parmesan. The macaroni was cooked al dente so it was not too soft the blend of cheese was tasty and coated the pasta evenly. The main dishes we chose was the Redfish Pontchatrain and the Broiled Salmon. Each dish gives you the option of the petite plate or full size. Both dishes we cooked well offering a variety of flavor that satisfied our appetite. The wait staff was pleasant and made sure we were taken care of but let us enjoy our meal without hovering. The manager on duty came and personally introduced himself, asked us about our food and experience while making small talk. He was very personable. Had a great experience overall and most definitely will be going back for future dinners. It's a place to be experienced and it won't disappoint.

First time visitors. 5 PM reservations, so it was pretty empty. By the time we left at seven, the dining room was full. The live music was a nice change from piped in music. There was just two of us, so we got to sit in the half circle booth with a view of the lake out the massive windows. Very nice vibe. The crowd was definitely the corporate expense Account business crowd for the most part. Only a couple dates. I only drink tequila based drinks and the three we tried, we’re outstanding. There was a tart, lemon raspberry drink, a nicely spiced blackberry margarita, and my favorite was the liquor 43 guava juice combo. It was like a better version of a Paloma. I have never had caviar so we let truluck be our first experience. We got the French caviar, which was also the most expensive. He was served with these tiny little pancake type things and housemaid potato chips. The chips were not crispy. They serve it with crème fraîche, diced onions, and shredded boiled egg. It was good, but I can now check this off the list. For dinner we had the fried lobster and the fillet flight. I felt like the filet could’ve been higher quality but at that price point you can’t complain. I got 12 ounces of filet for a very good price. For dessert we had the lemon blueberry bread pudding. It did not disappoint. We took the Keylime pie home to go. We got the petite version and it was well deserved to be highly recommended. I’ve never had Keylime pie so good. And the petite version was plenty for the two of us.

Had the caramel expresso martini and it was soooo delish (not too sweet and just enough coffee flavor for the wake) calamari was so tasty paired with the veggies and sauce and the Rockefeller oysters never fail every time we’ve ate them! After so many visits, your employers never fail to represent. -Selena ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First time eating at the restaurant on March 4th, dinner with my husband! Unfortunately no pictures but a selfie of myself lol. Service was phenomenal, food was phenomenal, atmosphere was phenomenal! Way better than Perrys. Food was Literally fresh, great menu and then some! Loved everything we ate and the service was top top notch! I got the filet with oscar style(cannot remember name) the parmesan mash potatoes was amazing, my husband ordered the Redfish Pontchartrain(delicious and tender as well) may have made my husband let me try it)and of course we got the Florida Stone crab and lobster bisque!

Truluck's is the place you go when you want to feel just a bit luxurious. Service is always impeccable, hands down! As part of our Hugh's Landing progressive dine, they were our dessert and drink stop. Butterscotch topped carrot cake with candied pecans, yes....amazing. I had a hibiscus mezcal cocktail called "Smoke in the Garden." Outstanding! Amanda the bartender was fantastic and she does make a custom Espresso Martini. Pricey, but go anyway.

Very nice atmosphere. Classy with music in the background. Not too loud. Can still have a conversation with folks. Sat down at the bar, bartender was great. Extremely friendly and helpful! Nice wine list. Started with the Ponzu. Fresh and very good. Main dish I had the Red fish with shrimp and crawfish sauce. Fish was good right, good flavor. Not too much sauce on it, most places like to over do the toppings! This was perfect. Crawfish was delicious , but the shrimp was rubbery. Had a side of Broccoli. Again, good flavor, didn't think they needed to put as much seasoning on it. But good taste. Overall, wonderful experience.

Amazing service Amazing food that's fresh and flavorful. The Cracked Stone Crab claw's were amazing. The risotto was amazing and had a nice bright citrus sauce around the plate to cut through the creaminess and mushrooms . The scallops were the best I've ever had. The oysters were a little sweet and salty ( better than gulf oysters) . Ambience was romantic and peaceful. Waitress and waiters are amazing! Lots of attention to detail.

I took my mother here for a nice dinner reservation and was sat right on time. The service was excellent and the waitress was extremely knowledgeable regarding the menu. The Cesar salad was made traditionally with anchovies, although they were not presented on the plate, so good. The calarami was delicious! So good in fact, I ate it before I got a picture of it! The lobster tail was fantastic as was the scallop and shrimp sauté. I really like that they had petite serving options. Ambience is really nice, lighting is great, and the glass windows during sunset with a view of the lake and lit fountain give it a nice touch.

Came here for a late Valentine's day dinner with no reservations, but luckily was able to grab a table in the bar area. Low light + piano player = my favessss. However....service was lacking. :'( For a fine dining restaurant, I was severely disappointed. Our server was nowhere to be found when we needed her when ordering food, drinks, dessert, paying.... maybe she had too many tables. We ordered: - bread service - I love bread, but this used to be free. it's no longer free sadly -calamari - sOoO goood. perfectly breaded and flavored -steak - also v good, but it's supposed to be good lol -mashed potatoes -creamed spinach -miso-glazed seabass - this was just ok, not sure I'd get it again -voila -some old fashioned I can't recall the name -carrot cake - everyone raved about this and came highly recommended, but this was a huge miss for me... it was way too sweet and decadent for me. we didn't finish this :'( -espresso martinis - SOOOO good, but also sooo strong. paired so well with the cake def a vibe for special occasions!

First off i have eaten at a ton of great steakhouses in houston and the USA and this is the first where i have seen led lit menus lol. I thought this was a very nice touch. The lighting was perfect. What a great idea Food: the food was top notch. The meatball appetizer was like mini meat loafs. I wasn't a fan of the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp has zero seasoning. I understand it's served that way. Just not my cup of tea or first choice. Now the steak, that was top notch. I am a fan of bone in steaks but their ribeye without the bone was top notch. Seasoned to perfection and very tasty. The crab fried rice was pretty good too. The key lime pie was great. Huge dessert. Could be shared amongst 4 lol. I finished it and still feel it. That was a mistake. I should have only eaten one sliver but it was so good so I kept going. I'll definitely keep coming back here. I will try the seafood next.

Awesome night with family celebrating 2023! Delicious seafood, starting with oysters, shrimp & fish appetizers with champagne. Dinner was amazing on this night. The highlight was our son having the specialty of the house, Florida Stone Crab Claws, $80 for the dinner plate, expensive but sooo good. Service was excellent as usual and the booth with view of the lake was lovely, with pianist singing Christmas songs from the bar. Trulucks, like many places trying to survive, slipped during pandemic. It is back to excellent!

I have only had take-out from Truluck's and that has been for their renowned Carrot Cake with caramel sauce and candied pecans. OMGoodness! This cake is super moist; the icing is not slathered on so thick as compared to others I've had (yuk!); and the candied pecans finish this amazing dessert so well. The staff is very professional, polite, and very welcoming. Ambiance is very classy. Maybe at some point, I will actually go into the restaurant and enjoy a wonderful seafood dinner. Well done.

Trulucks is truly a treat. Great location at Hughes landing . The service has always been top notch. The food is amazing. Highly recommend the Miso sea bass. Out of this world! The desserts and drinks are equally amazing. Love the baked Alaska for my birthday dessert.

We had a reservation but chose to sit in the bar. The piano player added to the perfect atmosphere. Our server made fabulous suggestions from appetizers to our main entree of sea bass, best flavor. My favorite cocktail was the first one on the list. So fun with the effects of the dry ice.

I finally had a Friday off and got to go for lunch. Even though it's just a lake, the view is stellar. It feels fancy. The service is always great. I usually wear black and they always give me a black napkin to replace the white one so my dress doesn't get yucky. Win. I'm from Boston, and love a good lobster roll. That's what brought me here for lunch. I got not one, but got two sandwiches! Absolutely delicious. My husband got the burger, which he enjoyed. He also started with the wedge salad. I don't eat meat, so he got the bacon on the side. SO good. After delivering the salad we were asked if we wanted bread. We've been here several times, so I knew the delicious rolls were an appetizer. My husband eagerly agreed, and then was weirded out when I told him he had ordered them. So just know, if you want bread, you have to pay for it and it's delicious. Even at lunch they knew it was my husband's birthday and did the baked Alaska. Win.

What was once a fab seafood restaurant is now a sad reflection of glory days when they were the only game in The Woodland. Almost an hour wait for one entree with their, once acclaimed crab fried rice. Good oysters and thoughtful bar service only saved this place from being a total disaster. Poor kitchen management and no attention to seasoning or timely delivery of entrees is sinking this once great restaurant. Clearly there needs to be a complete change in management. Especially when the GM comes out and debates a customer about the timing and delivery of their order then admits it all was completely cold. We, in the real world, call that bullshit. If you want great seafood in The Woodlands...this is not the place. My 2 cents. Greg T.

This place is simply amazing! What can I add that hasn't been said? The seafood especially the crab cakes tasted fresh. The low light and piano player sets the perfect ambiance. But the service alone tops it all. It's by far some the best service and attention to detail that I have seen. I'm already looking forward to coming again.

So the birthday rolls around again & I must have my favorite! Where you say? Trulux of course! I gave the Woodlands another try, FABULOUS!!! Yesss, in fabulous fashion Courtney the hostess was amazing! She asked me what I'd like to drink, I explained my thirst for fruitiness with a pop & they made it happen. Raspberry berry berry spritzer oozing with fizz and funness! Loved that. Moving on, I went off course from my usual lobster bisque for the Hiramasa Ponza, loving it too!! Light, tender, mild flavor that satisfies your fish desires with just 1 bite. Finished it quickly, thought about ordering another round, so take note, it's not enough to share on this appetizer. I noticed a new option on the entree menu and what a hit!! Blackened Redfish, crab, new Orleans BBQ sauce, parmesan mashed potatoes & creamed spinach sides. Please DO NOT let the BBQ sauce thing throw you, it paired wonderfully with this seasoned blackened fish & honestly didn't resemble a BBQ flavor at all. Another plus it's blackened & very crispy but thick & flaky, the sauce is more of a accented garnish for the fish, so the fish is not covered in the sauce allowing you to really enjoy the fish. The side dishes amazing at always. Needless to say the flambe baked Alaska always a must!! Excellent on all levels, ice cream, crunchy chocolate cookie & cream... just order it, you can't go wrong! Excellent dinner, like usual and Courtney was great! Love my Truluck's.

Why 3 stars? Because the meal was mostly enjoyable, but it'll cost ya. --- --- --- We had this spot earmarked for a special occasion and elected to celebrate our anniversary here, rather than by trekking into Houston for a date night. Surprisingly, the bill tallied higher than just about any fancy Houston eatery, which was shocking, but I'll get back to that. Drinks: -I started off with a Ginger Blossom and we both hated it. All I tasted was citrus, all she tasted was ginger. I do not recommend this drink. 1-star. -The wife ordered the Pretty in Pink, which was much better. 4-stars. -For my second drink, I opted for a red wine and allowed the server to pick something that would go well with my steak. I wish I got the name of that wine, because I enjoyed it. She said it was a universal wine, but I forgot the name. 4-stars. -We couldn't resist ordering the Parmesan Yeast Rolls and they were excellent. 5-stars. -We wanted to order some kind of seafood platter, which we assumed was on the menu, but were told that you just order whatever you want included and they make the platter custom. So here's what we went with: -Cocktail shrimp - maybe I am blinded by the fun, smoking dry ice. But I thought these were perfect. 5-stars. -Oysters - unless the oysters are really bad, I pretty much always enjoy them. 5-stars. -Florida Stone Crab - totally not worth it, in my opinion. I have had Stone Crab before and thought it was enjoyable, but I definitely would have spent my money elsewhere with the benefit or foresight. 2-stars. -We shared a Prime Ribeye and thought it was just okay. I believe it was dry-aged, but I'm not sure. The exterior had a jerky-like texture. I definitely did not hate it but would not need to order this again. 3-stars. -Side #1 were the lobster mashed potatoes. These are two things I enjoy, but have never seen together. It's a good combo. 5-stars. -Side #2 was the crab fried rice and it was also great. 5-stars. -Our server was friendly and attentive, but we waited an inordinate amount of time after we finished our seafood and were waiting on the steak. That caused us to rush a bit, but we did enjoy... -The Baked Alaska that was complimentary because of our special occasion. I'd give that 5-stars, despite having to scarf it down because we were suddenly in a hurry. -After tip, the bill came to $380, which I believe is the most expensive tab I've ever racked up for two people. I do not mind paying top dollar for a special occasion meal, but I did not walk away from this meal feeling like it was anywhere near worth nearly $400. The Woodlands doesn't have many places like this, so I'm glad this is here, but it felt like I paid Beverly Hills prices for a dinner that was good, but not great.

Our service was perfection, could not have been better. Lovely ambiance. We had a view of the lake but the food and its presentation was the star. Lobster bisque, steak filet and Alaskan king crab legs were excellent. Calamari and crab claws delicious. The surprise birthday desert was a wonderful surprise. Baked Alaska flaming with Happy Birthday written in chocolate on the serving platter. Great night.

The ambiance cannot be beat! The restaurant faces the lake by Hughes Landing in The Woodlands. We took some beautiful photos while we were there. The photos will last a lifetime. The food is pretty good. We went on Thanksgiving Day at 2p but did not order the holiday menu because the main dish was turkey and three starches. My husband and I shared the crab cake, which was HUGE and delicious. We also had the rolls, which are served room temp with shredded cheese and butter. For dinner, I had the New York strip cooked medium rare with a crab and asparagus topping. I enjoyed the steak but not the topping. There was too much asparagus and the overall flavor was not appealing to me. We also had shoestring fries, potatoes and spinach for the table. My pumpkin cheesecake was delightful and light on the tummy. My husband's chocolate cake was just ok and he loves chocolate cake. It's a huge piece though and you can order a smaller size. Our waitress was super sweet, patient and attentive!! We gave her an excellent tip. Even the other guests were friendly and pleasant. My only other ding against this location is the front desk. They were not friendly or welcoming to us as soon as we walked in. It was a young man and a woman. We were the only black family in the restaurant and even when we took photos, they had disapproving looks on their faces. I asked for a high chair and an empty space when I confirmed our reservation and our table was not set up the way I asked! When the man from the front desk, brought me the high chair, he questioned me when I also wanted an additional adult chair removed for my son's stroller. I hate to say they didn't seem like they were used to black people but that's how it felt. Both of them gave us an attitude, and we were nothing but kind. Conversely, these same staff were upbeat, warm and friendly with the Anglo guests. It's hard to say we will come back but it's a lovely location. I can't give it five stars for that reason.

Always a favorite! Great food, great service, and lovely atmosphere. I've been eating at Truluck's's for years, and Houston, The Woodlands, and Muscle Tom's in Naples, Florida. In my opinion, the fresh seafood around, and still the winner on carrot cake.

This is my favorite restaurant!! I never thought to write a review because I've never looked it up on Yelp. I have frequented TruLucks since the early '90's while going to Rockets games at the Summit. We would always love their fresh seafood. The one in the Woodlands is amazing. The atmosphere is great and ALL the food is top notch. Their seafood is unbelievable but their steaks can't be beaten either. Wine list is extensive. Well done all the way around!!

Food was good, as usual. Service also good. Perfect evening....until I got to the valet after dinner. Totally ruined the night for me! It was raining, and they left my car door open while I was paying and tipping. Leather seats were soaked. Abandoned my car to the rain, I was standing there handing cash to the guy under the umbrella. Could not even wait or close the door in pouring rain. To make matters worse, they lost my key fob! I had to go back to ask for my key after I turned onto Grogans Mill. They were totally uninterested. I finally had to go back into Trulucks for someone to help me. They finally found my key, what a total debacle!! As I was pulling out, the Trulucks employee actually shook the valet's hand like he had been through something. He was not only paid, but generously tipped. I am beyond disappointed.

Dani S.

Yelp
Food is good, but extremely pricey. Nice view of the lake. Came here for dinner with a group, and experience was good. We ordered some appetizers to share and each got our individual entrées. The price is extremely expensive, the portion sizes decent but not particularly huge. For Texas I'd expect a little more. The food we ordered we're OK, the calamari was a little bit too oily and too salty. I got the Seabass entrée and it was rather mediocre. We did end up ordering the carrot cake dessert which was very good, but full of sugar and way too sweet. Besides the view, I probably would not go out of my way to come back.

Let's just say you're in the doghouse. Your spouse is upset. Your parents are going to kill you. Here is the fix: Trulucks. Whoever you bring here and assuming you pay the bill, you're guaranteed to get out of the whatever trouble your in. The view will assuage anger, the wine will soften angry memories, and a dessert will patch the wounds. We had a multicourse meal with king crab, scallops, oysters, and several desserts. I'm good. Life is good. Trulucks will always be here when another apple cart becomes upset.

Outstanding service, excellent food and a great atmosphere. Took wife for our anniversary and Truluck went out of there way to make it special. We entered and after giving the hostess our name immediately said Happy Anniversary and it seems everybody we walked past repeated happy anniversary. It's the details that make it good restaurants great one and Truluck's is truly a great dining experience.

I loved the service but the food was not worth the price. We were a group of 5. The men ordered the steak it was so thick and they suggested to have it cooked medium rare which was ok but it came out more like rare to raw where the center was purple that you could not chew it. The fried rice was mushy and so sweet. The seafood platter was delicious and fresh. The drinks were amazing. All in all I guess we made the mistake of going to a seafood restaurant and ordering steak. Next time Perry for steak and this place for happy hour and seafood.

Oh boy, where do I even start? Truluck's The Woodlands used to be on my friends and my top restaurants list in the Houston area, both because of their impeccable service & top-notch quality food. However, we recently had a dinner among friends celebrating birthday/new job, and the quality has absolutely gone downhill, BIG TIME. The service was absolutely slow that evening for our table. The server kind of disappeared from us for an extended amount of time, that we had to ask for extra pita bread for our crab dip several times with other people, prior to actually seeing the waitress to ask for it. Not sure if the restaurant was short-staffed with COVID or not. Food-wise, it was disappointing to hear that Stone crab was not available that evening because of the cancelled flight from SW. Such a bummer, but I'd make sure not to have a billboard suggesting stone crab at the entrance for the night, if you don't have such seafood selection in. For appetizers, we had the Crab cake and the Crab Dip. My friends enjoyed the crab cake, but I have a preference for a more packed crab cake. Not my favorite, but still pretty tasty! The crab dip, on the other hand, was quite SALTY. The olives could partly explain some of the salt, but the entire dip was actually overly seasoned. I wasn't sure if the chefs actually tasted the foods as they cooked or not, since some of our other dishes were also overly salty. If you have high blood pressure or heart-related conditions, stay away from this dish and at least the Crab fried rice side dish. For entrees, my friends all ordered the Prime NY Strips and I had the King Crab Leg. My King Crab, though supposedly steamed prior to serving, felt cold to me. I actually had to douse the crab meat in warm butter to heat up the meat. Wasn't sure if it wasn't steamed enough or it was brought out late. The steaks, one of them was actually more on the Rare for my friend instead of Medium Rare as requested, but he rather not asked for it redone in fear that the meat would be overcooked. All of our friends commented that the NY Strip was nowhere tasted like 60-day dry-aged as advertised on the menu, though. Hmm for the quality of Truluck's?! Tl;dr: For us, Truluck's food quality and service have gone downhill wayyy big time. Maybe a year after COVID-19 finally resolves would we return again for a trial. Houston has lost such a gem!

Went here for a mini bachelorette dinner, and it was amazing! I ordered the Miso-Glazed Sea Bass with Crab Fried Rice, and it was the perfect portion. The Sea Bass was so soft and tender, and the Miso glaze gave it a nice sweet crust. My friends really enjoyed their entrées also, but the Lobster Mac & Cheese (side dish), was for sure the star of the show. I would come back here just to order that. The Mac & Cheese was a very generous amount, so cheesy, full of flavor, thick tortellini style noodles, real lobster chunks, absolutely delicious! The cocktails were also lovely and strong, and the ambiance, relaxing music, and service were also wonderful. We had a beautiful lakeside view in the dining room to add onto our awesome experience! Trulucks would be a perfect spot for your romantic upscale date nights, fancy girls nights, or for your special occasions!

I took my parents for their 48th wedding anniversary. Trulucks did not disappoint on a Thursday evening. Service was amazing and the food on par. You can't ask for a better view of the lake with live music in the bar. This is fining dining at its best with reasonable prices. Waiter was helpful and checked in often. We shared multiple entrees to get a sample of the menu. Will come back again. Wished they were open for lunch not just on Fridays.

Are individuals being paid to review this place positively? I am astounded at the lack of transparency about this restaurant. The food including steak and lobster was simply okay. You will find better flavor/quality at any restaurant in the Woodlands area. My salad had a couple of moldy leafs in it which is always a horrible surprise when eating. We had a few other appetizers and sides, just basic food staples rice and potatoes with chunks of dried "seafood" fixed in. Per usual everything was overpriced for the quality and flavor. The atmosphere was almost upscale but the air conditioning was freezing out several female patrons. I would never recommend this place to any visitors or locals. I did enjoy the live piano music though!

Upon entrance for dinner, you'll see to your left a piano. Then you'll notice a human playing the piano and maybe even a human playing the guitar. Yes indeed it was live music. You can never go wrong with live music during dinner. Definitely is a conversation starter and fills in the gap time while waiting for your food. The menus glow!! The eckk. This was a first for all of us. The menus light up so you can always refer to them when the lights dim at night. Genius. I ordered a ton. Too much. Way too much that I couldn't appreciate my entree, sides or dessert. I was so full from the appetizers. The service was great. Staff was attentive. They refold your napkin when you leave the table for the restroom similar to my fine dining experience. This was not fine dining. They were not strict on attire. Scallops - did not melt in my mouth but wasn't a long dragging chewing process. Lobster Mac and cheese - very interesting choice of noodle selection. Chunks of lobster was visible and appreciated. Cheese level could have been higher. Broccoli - would've preferred more charred on the broccoli Crab cake - the best dish! So good. Crab leg - I can see why people are into this but it's too much work. I'll go with the crab cakes instead. Calamari - not crunchy but I appreciated that they weren't oily nor too coated. Lobster bisque - amazing presentation. You get a bowl of lobster then they pour the soup. You know you this was worth the price based on the amount of lobster you get in the bowl. Dessert of cake and ice cream was cool. Great presentation. The layers were perfect too. I'm not a fan of chocolate but the mixture of ice cream and cake here was quite perfect. Asparagus - ordered it but didn't eat it. It looked normal. They have motorized shades. Wahhh. I didn't even know that was a thing. I was more impressed that they clean the glass windows at night prior to the motorized shades closing. You get the perfect view of the water and walkway from through the tall glass windows. Great ambience. Great service. Good food - probably would've appreciated it more if I was actually hungry before coming here. Overall great experience.

Awesome food and great customer service. From the moment I went in they treated me like royalty and even gave us a free anniversary dessert.

We love going here for the food and to visit with Paige (bartender) on Saturday's. Only complaint is their tonic is awful. We love our gin and tonic. Gin is a botanical drink. They only have a flavored Fever Tree tonic. Yuk! All they need is to use the yellow label,version which has no additional flavors.
