    Lobster tail was OK, ran out of desserts (2 of the 3). OK meal, but too many great restaurants in Austin to ever choose this one.

    Dear Darren, I am so sorry about your last experience on Father's Day, being such a busy day can be unpredictable and I am sorry for the challenges you had to face on that day. That is definitely not the standard or expectations we have for our food or service. I will be reaching out personally and hope to talk and learn more about your experience. Sincerely, Alex Rediske Service Manager

    Eat here often and went for father's day. Most everything was great, as always. My wife ordered the lobster thermidor and was severely disappointed. Tiny lobster, looked like a throwback, mostly stuffing with no lobster and a tiny tail. Everything else was great, but either make a real thermidor, or take it off the menu.
    Truluck's - Ocean's Finest Seafood & Crab - Austin ArboretumResponded 4 days ago
    Dear Yvonne, I am so happy to hear you enjoyed your server and will personally thank him. I will communicate with my culinary team about the Thermidor and see what changes need to be made and make sure we are sending out an amazing dish every time. We look forward to serving you again and I am so sorry about any disappointment on Father's Day. Sincerely, Alex Rediske Service Manager

    Wonderful experience! Everyone from the hostesses to the wait staff was incredible, courteous, thoughtful, and professional. The food was top notch and very well prepared. Service was impeccable, wait time between courses was short, and attentiveness of wait staff to needs of the table was the best I’ve ever seen. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a high quality dining experience.

    Food and service here are always great! The ambience is luxurious and staff are very respectful. Prices are a bit high but the quality of the seafood makes it worth the money you spend.

    We loved the new Summer Select 3 menu. This is one of our favorite places. It’s always exceptional.
    Truluck's - Ocean's Finest Seafood & Crab - Austin ArboretumResponded 4 days ago
    Hello Pam, The Summer of '92 pre-fixe menu is definitely our favorite new change to the menu. Best part is probably that it's all day and all summer! I'm glad you enjoyed it and consider us to be a favorite. I consider that an honor and hope to see you join us again soon. Sincerely, Alex Rediske Service Manager
