- JJosephVIPWashington, D.C. Area •37 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoParking at entrance and across the street. Atmosphere is friendly and reminiscent of Greece. Service is attentive. Food is incredibly delicious. We had the bass and beef short rib dishes for mains. Grilled octopus starter is the best we have had. Baklava is authentic; not too sweet. Would definitely recommend (make reservations!), and will return on our next visit to Austin.More infoYamas AustinPrice: Expensive• Greek• Austin•4.5
- DDavidVIPChicago / Illinois •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoLiked the food so much one night, came back for a second. May be the best steak I’ve ever eaten and I’ve been fortunate to eat at many great steakhouses. The seasoning was on point and the steaks were juicy and delicious. (Did bone in NY and the ribeye). Got the creamed corn + green chiles and the sautéed mushrooms as sides. Outstanding complement. Pecan pie (I’d hold the caramel) with ice cream. Doesn’t really get better in my mind.More infoALC Steaks (Austin Land & Cattle)Price: Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.6
- MMichaelAustin •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had an outstanding anniversary celebration at Trulucks. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and were seated at a very nice roomy table. The ambience was nice, with tasteful holiday decor. Curtis rendered outstanding service and the level of attention was just right. Nothing was rushed and all of the menu items arrived with perfect timing. Points of service were adhered to without any of the stuffiness that can sometimes accompany that. The food was prepared with great skill and the flavors were on point. In honor of our anniversary, we were presented with a table side Baked Alaska which was divine. Every member of that staff thanked us as we left, and felt very genuine. We don’t get to have dinners like this very often, so it was so nice for the experience to really deliver. We loved it. Thank you to Trulucks and the wonderful staff! Will definitely visit again as soon as we are able.More infoTruluck's - Ocean's Finest Seafood & Crab - Austin DowntownPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Downtown•4.8
