Horrible Christmas Eve dinner service - had to ask for water three times and to have cocktails remade. Server explained she had only been working there a month. We spent $600+ for atrocious service and subpar food and drinks. Truluck’s used to be a family favorite - for years we had Christmas Eve dinners there - will be permanently deleted from our list!!

M, I am so sorry to hear that our service and cocktails were not up to you or our standards. We strive every day to provide the highest quality service and we missed the mark on Christmas Eve this year. I attempted to lookup your reservation but was unable to locate it based on the review but I would love an opportunity to discuss your experience further in hopes of redirecting my team. I see that you have had many great Christmas Eve experiences before and I would hate to lose a valuable customer over one bad experience. I will send a private message with my contact information. Sincerely, Cary Grider - Managing Partner
