Review Truluck's - Chicago

I had a wonderful dining experience at Truluck’s! I LOVE the bar and lounge area. The bar display was so colorful and attractive. I actually liked sitting in the lounge better than the dining room. There was a live pianist and her voice was absolutely beautiful. Definitely a vibe. All the food and drinks were amazing. Seriously, no complaints. The cocktail “Pretty in Pink” was so good that I had 2! Also I loved the presentation of the Voila cocktail and the waiter had the bartender put “Blood Orange Ice Berg” in a martini glass for me 🥰 The chocolate cake was delectable! I can’t wait to return!

The service here was amazing. Ambiance was nice and the piano player sang some great songs that had you moving a little bit while at your seat. I’m giving this place a 4 because you have to choose your dish wisely in order to have a great eating experience. The scallops were great. Sea bass was tasty. Branzino was very bland and their sides were eh. Lobster bisque was delicious and oysters fresh. There’s not a dish I’m craving to go back for but it was a good place to try.

My first experience at Truluck’s (Brickell) Miami, was far more than I expected. All of the small details really do matter…the light-up menus, wine selections, curated cocktails, and fine prime seafood were absolutely fantastic! My friends and I dropped in for drinks and the food was amazingly delicious and well prepared! Each entree was hot (not warm) and ready to eat. The waiter Andrew (Jamaican king) was well versed and knowledgeable of every facet the restaurant had to offer. Hoping one is opened in Tennessee soon!

Quality of the food overall was very good. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with the family. We had a great table. The Hawaiian tuna crudo was not my favorite. I'm a huge tuna and crudo fan but this rendition was overwhelmed with too much dill, grape and tomato. Hard to find the tuna in the mix. Also had the Calamari, flavor was good but a little too salty. The yellowtail and seabass were fresh. The yellowtail was also a tad bit salty. Carrot cake was very good. Overall we had a very good meal.

2nd time I have been here and loved it. High quality food with fresh flavors and many vegetarian options. If you are looking for a special occasion place, this is the place to go. Very pricey but you get what you pay for. Miso fish could have had more flavor. Cauliflower steak, shrimp cocktail, desserts, lobster ravioli special and cocktails were on point!

I would recommend this place for dinner, especially when Nyla McDaniel is singing! We called ahead to see who was performing, and when we heard it was Nyla we rushed in to get a table. The service, food and drinks were great, and sitting in the bar area with live music was really what made the evening outstanding. The food and drink that I liked most were the crab fried rice and spicy blackberry margarita. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Outstanding food and beautifully crafted cocktails!! Justin was our server, he answered all our questions and had really great recommendations! We had the lobster, ahí tuna, vegan Bolognese and seabass. The baked Alaska dessert was delicious too! Highly recommend.

A step up from McCormick. Went for Happy hour and was satisfied. Limited wines, but it is a happy hour. Seafood was excellent shrimp and oysters. Of the 15 couples ten were familiar to the serving staff and bartenders a good sign of an upscale neighborhood place where you wa ant to go. I will come back.

We are frequent dinners at Shaw's and Joe's, they all serve similar type of food, seafood (stone crab), steak and chops, the quality are always exceptional. We tried Truluck's for the first time, usually we don't care much for chain establishments, this location used to be a McCormic and Schmick's that was ran down. Reece was our server, the service was exceptional and the food was prepared to perfection. We enjoyed the seafood celebration appetizer, wedge salad, clam chowder, branzino and the surf and turf. Wrapped up with the Baked Alaska and Coffee. We will surely visit again. Just in case, it is something we didn't know. There is a dress code here, no hats. Doesn't matter how e expensive it is...lol

Excellent dining experience. From the ambiance to the menu choices it is truly a most enjoyable place to dine. We tried the seasonal oysters and escargot to start and were very impressed in addition to the garlic parmesan rolls. Next was a cup of lobster bisque and followed by the petite lobster tale and a king crab leg with sides of kung pao cauliflower and creamed spinach. Last bust not least a desert of baked Alaska. Overall I couldn't recommend or rate this place any higher.

We came into the city with no reservations and they were able to accommodate our party of four. Very nice restaurant with a WONDERFUL Pianist who both played and sang beautifully. For starters, I order the Lobster Bisque which was to die for. Has plenty of flavor. As for my drink, I ordered the Smoke & Mirrors (two to be exact), a tequila based cocktail that gave a delicious smokey taste. Our group ordered two orders of the Norwegian Salmon (which was said to be good) and the Mediterranean Branzino (pictured below - which was light and well prepared with great flavori). As for our shared accompaniments, we had two orders of the Pan-Seared Broccoli (delicious with a spicy kick to it), Lyonnaise Potatoes, and the Parmesan Mashed Potatoes (great flavor but super super thick). Overall we enjoyed our meal, the music and the wonderful staff! (Wish I got photos of everyone’s meal)

I had my end of semester celebratory dinner at Truluck’s and it was just amazing. We started in the bar which had live music. The guy’s voice was amazing and the cocktails were delicious! Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. We then moved next door for dinner and WOW. The waitress was knowledgable and guided us step by step through all the seafood options and explained to us where each item came from and showed us a tray which had plastic representations of sizes and types of all the varieties of shell fish. This was very helpful in making the decision of what we wanted to try. Every table gets freshly baked bread and butter which is amazing... we then went with the crab cakes. Hands down the best crab cakes I’ve ever had! If I see them on the menu I always order them... so this is a big statement for me. We hen had the Rolls Royce of lobster.. which is South African lobster tails. It was absolutely fantastic and is served with melted butter. The wine menu was on point and the entire experience was one of the best I’ve had in a while. This place is new and trying to prove itself! I highly recommend it and hope that when I return next year that it is just as good.

Amazing experience! Jeffrey our waiter was very attentive especially for it to be only his 2nd day. The food was exceptionally amazing. I would suggest if you like calamari it is a must try. If you visit this restaurant you will not be disappointed!

Service was phenomenal and the food was delicious. The ahi tuna during reaturaunt week was so good. I would come back for that. Real wasabi, nice pairing sauce and mashed potatoes. Carrot cake is a must try!

It was our 1 year anniversary ! We end up taking - Monday stone crab deal - fantastic , comes with salad and side dish . Good size and really fresh ! Our server was detailed - oriented and very specific about food and preparation . They took a good care of us . $250 bucks check is not our "let go out ones a week" amount - but we r glad that we picked this place to treat yourselves and made it night to remember :)

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! The finest seafood in all of Chicago! Worth every penny and more! I have never been to a better place for the freshest and most delicious seafood! The stone crab claws were my splurge and the Giant claw did not disappoint! Surf and turf was a show stopper too with the house seasoning on the side as an extra perk. Our lovely server Lindsey made the evening so much more enjoyable with her recommendations. Service and selection were top notch. Every detail perfectly attended! Staff very professional and attentive. I loved the live music. Everything about this place is classy, sophisticated and memorable. I will be recommending this place for years to come and look forward to many more visits! I was beyond impressed with Trulucks which in my book is unparalleled! It’s a must go and to top it all off, they serve BAKED ALASKA!

Food was delicious!! Everything we expected and more. Lobster tails were to die for and huge!!! Some of the best cocktails around. Live music made it a night worth while!! Recommend this place for dinner every night.
Heidi Konrath Marvin
Very polite and attentive staff. Our server, Dennis, was wonderful. The best stone crab we ever ate. The steaks were cooked to perfection as were the scallops. Key Lime pie is a must!! Loved the singer/piano player at the bar. We will be back soon. Thank you Truluck for a truly memorable dining experience.

I've never been somewhere with so many GREAT seafood selections! Typically restaurants rave on their salmon... But here they rave about ALL the seafood and I can see why. So good! To top it off, all the servers and hostesses are just as bomb!
Tammy Kavanagh Dickman
Visiting Chicago for the first time and it was highly recommended by a coworker. The food was fabulous!! The fillet and the fresh seafood were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection! Our server, Jeff, was attentive and was great, very knowledgeable about the menu! Will most definitely come back again!

I went for my birthday. The concierges at The Intercontinental Hotel in Chicago recommended this new spot. The staff was nice and welcoming, the food delicious (crab cakes, clam chowder, crab fried rice, salmon with a french sauce, and NY strip), and great music.
Carolynn Cohen
The best seafood I've ever had! Everything was perfect. Prompt seating, a beautiful candle, warm bread and smooth butter started the dinner. Waitress was so nice and thorough even bringing out demo trays and explaining everything so you can see what exactly you'd be ordering. My husband and I had the chilled celebration which was delicious! We mentioned that we would be splitting the scallops and 2 stuffed lobster tails. She brought the plates out with the meal already split on each plate! I even got a call the next morning asking how our experience was. No detail is too small for them. It was a wonderful experience and we can't wait to go back!

Excellent!!! You’re going to love everything about this place. The steaks and seafood are top quality and perfectly complemented by the outstanding service and attention the staff provides to their guests. Just make sure to save room for dessert.
Sherise Gipson
I loved the ambiance of the restaurant! The crab legs, meatballs, and bread were delicious! Our waiter was terrific, being our first time there! The live music on this day was great! I will go again!

YUMazing! Outstanding food and service. We ordered the All-you-can-eat LARGE stone crab (offered only on Monday during season), crab mac-n-cheese, parmesan creamed spinach & mushrooms. All outstanding! Can’t wait to go back for the salt/pepper calamari and blue cheese waffle fries! The baked Alaska and French press coffee completed the perfect meal! THANK YOU!

I don't eat sea food, so I had steak. The melted gorgonzola cheese over the bone-in ribeye was nothing short of wonderful! It much better than a lot of steak I have had in Steakhouses! I just can't wait to go back.

From the ambiance of the building to the actual taste of the food was past any expectations! If you’re in the area I would recommend that you try them out you won’t be disappointed!
