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.

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!

Simply amazing!!!!! I've traveled the globe been to countless hotels and fine dining establishments and let me say this place is top notch!!! Shout out to John he knew what I was thinking before I even said it! The atmosphere and host were perfect. I had the scallops and she had the sea bass. Perfectly seasoned and the right amount of salt. The best birthday dinner she ever had. Thank you John and the staff of Truluck's we had an amazing time

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.

The Smoke and Mirrors cocktail is amazing if you love Mezcal and Tequilla of course, big fan. I really enjoyed the crab cake as a starter. I ordered the NY strip with mashed potatoes. Everything was great and tasty, cooked as I asked. I recommend the steak sauce on top. Great place if you are in this neighborhood and want to enjoy some good food. They have also an interesting wine list.

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!

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)

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.

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!

We came here for a dinner on a Saturday night with reservations and got a nice booth for 2.
The food was good, but prices are very high. The marketing is all about “the freshest, high quality seafood”, and I will admit it was all fresh and good, but I didn’t feel enough of a difference between this and other high end places to warrant the price tag ($5 per oyster is a bit extreme).
Service was also there in attentiveness, but lacking that extra thing where you make the customer feel like a human rather than just a box to check.
One time visiting here was good, but is enough, no need to come again. Not worth the price.
