Restaurants near Polk County Memorial Museum

Well it's weird but right off the bat my kudos first go to the Valet Parking. The traffic was horrible arriving at the restaurant. Completely stopped. But as we got to the front door expecting a horrible experience trying to find a parking spot we were right at the front door and there was the Valet Parking sign. We pulled into the dropoff spot and handed off our key to the Valet and went right into the restaurant. It would have been a chore looking for a spot to park but it ended up being easy peasy. The place is gorgeous !! We were immediately brought to a semi circle table for four even though we were only two. We talked with Jada (SP?) and Lidia. They were perfect! We chatted about our cocktail choices and our wine choices for the perfect pairing for our food choices. We got filthy Grey Goose Vodka Martins to start. We then went over the menus. 3 menus. One for whiskeys one for wine one for food. We chose a nice white wine and for food we got shrimp cocktail, quail knots, lump crab cakes, tuna sashimi, lobster bisque, twice baked potato, Brussels sprouts, scalloped potatoes, heirloom tomatoes, double pork chops, petit filet, chocolate sin cake, warm butter cake, pino noir, and a great bread basket variety basket. We brought a lot home because the servings were very generous so we couldn't eat it all. Not even close. The live music was so good and the surroundings were so nice. It was a fantastic experience! One of the best dining experiences we've ever had.

Great service and good food. Will definitely be going back.

It's always a lovely experience going to Truluck's. We sat immediately. There was a card provided for the birthday girl when we arrived at the table with simple yet nice table decor. The birthday girl had the trout with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. I had the redfish over rice. Our server was attentive and helpful, making suggestions. Finished the meal with Baked Alaska which unfortunately I couldn't enjoy as I'm not the biggest fan of sweets. It was quite decadent and the birthday girl enjoyed it.

Service was outstanding and the food quality very good. Some reviews complain about the meats being on the medium to well done side, but if you ask for a medium rare cut they will find the way to make it happen. Also, the Restaurant Manager (Van) is really hands on and makes sure her customers leave happy!

I made several requests in my reservation that were all accommodated. Don’t be afraid to make note of special concerns with your Audrey reservation. This place works had to please their clientele.
