Truluck's

The food and service here was awesome. Coming from San Diego Coastal area we had many choices for dining on awesome fish. Here the choices are limited but Truluck's doesn't disappoint. The only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is that I have to eat gluten free and while they have many gluten-free selections on the menu there is no gluten-free desert. Seems silly but if you want to celebrate you want the full experience. It would be so easy to have one. Most even average restaurants do.

Hi, I usually don't write reviews, however this time it would not be fair to keep the experience to myself. I was celebrating my birthday (58). We visited another restaurant in the area, and we didn't have reservation, and were told to leave because they couldn't do anything. I am disabled, my family had to drop me off in front of the restaurant, so I walked towards the next restaurant that looked so pretty outside and called my attention. Trulucks, I've never been there before and neither my family, but I am glad we did. It was a busy night and I asked for a table for 4. The young lady at the front Anne, tells me the dining area is full and only for reservations, however they will accommodate me in the tables around the bar. I sat in the lobby and in less than a minute I was told they have a table and only to wait to get it all done. Then another minute and I was guided to sit in a perfect table past the live music (a pianist). Wow! I have not sat in live music for a real while. What a blessing!! Then this girl shows up, sweet, radiant, pretty, her name is Erica. Once she learned it was my birthday, she brought stars to the table and had the patience to explain the menu. However, because my disability sitting in the tall stools it was something so hard for me. I told Erica my predicament and she understood and observe that I wasn't making this up. She asks for a moment to see what can be done, and then the same girl Anne guided us to the dining area with a lake view and we were welcome by the waitress in the area. My table has natural roses and Brittney was my waitress. I was sad and thought I was going to lose Erica but I am glad I didn't, she kept coming and brought more stars. Then I asked for a pina colada, and my party had champagne, it was ok if they couldn't make the pina colada, but the bartender did it for me (it was not in the menu). Then the aperitive's a shrimp cocktail and the meatballs!!!!! Delicious!!! In the dining room the menu has light on it!! The food was so fresh, the taste was so unique you can actually feel the spices, the texture!! I ordered the mediterranean bransino, one of my daughters has a gluten sensitivity and they have a gluten free menu. In addition to that in my table we ordered the hawaian ahi tuna, south australian lobster, and a vegan bolognese!! Everything more than delicious!!! Then, the fun part, desserts!!! It was my birthday and I have had many cakes in my life however that night it was the first time I have a cake with crushed Oreos, vanilla ice cream inside, and they bathe the cake in fire it looks so pretty!! My daughters choose a chocolate layer cake that they share it was huge!!! Again, all delicious, fresh, unique!! Then Erica came back with a rose just for me!! I requested to a young male waitress to please inform the manager I needed it to talk to him. Then Mr. Adam came along!! I reported to Mr. Adams about my amazing experience!! My heart still full of joy!!! I told him how precious this restaurant was to me is and how kind and sweet his staff had been to me and my family. Mr. Adam was grateful to hear my story and told me it is the policy of his company to work with the clients and exceed their expectations. It definitely happened to me. I was surprised to see Erica is younger than my own girls!! February was her birthday too. They all went beyond their duties to make us feel important that night. I may not go back, not because of the treat but because of budget. That experience is something to be receive once in a lifetime I am glad that was mine!!! To Erica, Anne, Brittney the bartender and Mr. Adams THANK YOU!! God Bless!!
