    Our Easter experience was great as usual. My family love’s Trulucks. The food was delicious, but our server was just ok. When dining here, Gerald was the absolute best server!!!

    I rarely ever give one star reviews but Trulucks absolutely deserves it… the restaurant is dated and needs a refresh. Went for a happy hr moment on Easter (purposely so we would miss the crowd) so the restaurant was virtually empty. Especially in the bar where we sat. Ordered a plethora of apps to share and have for later. The server was the bartender and while he was nice he wasnt very attentive. After taking our drink and food orders he sat and watched the playoff game for the remainder of the time we were there. Didnt ask us if we needed another drink, some more water, or anything. Next time he spoke to us I requested the check. He literally brushed was brushing his hair and took phone calls in view of us. He wasnt the only one congregating around the bar watching television and not being attentive though so seems like it was allowed. Drinks were ok. The food was subpar at best. Some things were warm, others were cold and no one would know because they didn’t bother to ask. Wish my experience was better but i wont be back.

    Our server, Renee was amazing! The fruit selection to add to your water was so nice, and the lavender scented washcloths at the end were a nice touch. They also gave us homemade chocolate at the end of our meal. Delish!

    Excellent in every way. The food preparation, the cocktails, the booth we sat in, and our waiter, Abi, was all top notch, professional, and friendly. We’re in DC for our 39th anniversary weekend, and this dining experience was perfect, including their table decoration to celebrate our occasion.
