    This was my adult son‘s first time to a Truluck’s, and it was not what our family expected. I’m not sure if our waiter was new or just didn’t care. He never mentioned if there were any specials, I later heard someone else telling their table they were specials. We ordered crab claws, a soup, a Caesar to share and each had an entrée. So it’s not like we were being cheap. After the crab claws and the soup arrived I asked for a glass of ice. That never came and it was a long time before anyone came back to us, and then they brought us our entrées.  I said with surprise to the person delivering the food oh, we never got our salad . He immediately took note and said he told the server and the manager. And continue to deliver our entrées, which were there and hot so we wanted to eat them. The manager never came over and the waiter basically just said sorry about the mixup with the salad. Never said what he was gonna do, never ask if we still wanted the salad, but by the time he came back to us and he even addressed it, we were 3/4 of the way through our entrées. Later he said something about did we want dessert and I said it’s my son’s birthday so he said he would bring that dessert and with the mix up in the salad he would bring us another dessert to go if we wanted. We did do the birthday dessert.  The food was really good. And I would’ve said something to the manager had he ever come by our table just to check on us in general …. this was a Sunday night. It wasn’t a busy time, but they didn’t seem to have it together. But again, the food was very good.

    They made me pay a $25 cork fee for a $10 bottle of nonalcoholic wine and I felt it was unreasonable as I ordered the special for $110. I do not drink and they did not have a nonalcoholic wine option for me.
    Truluck's - Ocean's Finest Seafood & Crab - Austin ArboretumResponded 2 days ago
    Dear TSKGirl512, I'm sorry to hear about the cork fee and the inconvenience this placed on you. I would love to refund the fee with it, and we do have some sparkling grape juice and cider as an option. We would love to have something for you next time you come in if a non-alcoholic wine is desired, please just give us a heads up so we can prepare. Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you in the future! Sincerely, Alex Rediske Service Manager

    We had absolutely fantastic dinner at Truluck’s last night celebrating my wife’s birthday. Our waitress, Taylor, was fabulous with right level of attentiveness and interaction in menu recommendations and knowledge. We had the lobster bisque, the filet and lobster surf and turf and a wonderful bottle of red wine from Sicily. Thank you Truluck’s for making my wife dinner extra special.
