                                                      We attended the NYE prepared menu dinner. Truluck’s is a gem. This round the Lobster Bisque was low warm, borderline cold. We requested a glass of wine, and arrived 10 min into entrees. Steak was best in class, one of the best yet in our Austin steak ventures. As well as the sides (Lobster Mac & Cheese & Asparagus). Overall dinner was great, though as a huge lobster bisque fan I wish it the restaurant would have been more thoughtful before sending to table. Any prior visit, the serving dish emits visual steam from warmth.

                                                      We’ve made it a tradition to go there for NYE the last several years. Went at 5:30pm. Seemed rushed already. Food didn’t taste the best compared to the usual. And really it’s over priced for what you get- service and food. Likely won’t go next NYE.

                                                      Nico was amazing. He gave us great recommendations. We had the perfect booth that faced the street. I absolutely enjoyed my filet mignon. And the voilà cocktail was such a great recommendation and a great photo because it bubbled. I had originally booked for the prix fixe which was delicious but added a couple appetizers as well.

Appetizers were served yet when I order my meal it came out incorrectly twice, and didn’t feel reordering a third time. I was left without a meal and ate pizza once home. Three apps/4drinks came out to 300.00 and I still ate pizza Once home. I am not happy
