What's on

The Menu

Since opening our doors in 1992, Truluck’s has built a reputation rooted in responsible sourcing and an unwavering respect for the waters that provide our ingredients. Every plate reflects our commitment to ocean conservation and the dedicated harvesters who make sustainable fishing a way of life, safeguarding marine ecosystems for decades to come.

Each fall marks the highly anticipated return of Florida Stone Crab season, spanning October 15th through May 1st. This coveted delicacy embodies eco-conscious luxury at its finest—fishermen carefully harvest only the claws, allowing each crab to naturally regrow them over time. Presented chilled and pre-cracked at your table, every order arrives alongside our signature mustard sauce, a beloved recipe honed across three decades of culinary craft.

Our seafood offerings extend well beyond stone crab season. Explore a rotating collection of ocean-fresh selections including seared sesame-encrusted ahi tuna, golden pan-seared scallops alongside plump jumbo shrimp, pristine oysters drawn from premier coastal beds, and inventive seasonal plates that highlight the finest available catch.

For those craving something from the land, our USDA Prime steaks deliver unmatched quality. Each cut is individually chosen and cooked with exacting care—from our melt-in-your-mouth filet mignon and richly marbled New York strip to our Sunday signature: Prime Rib, slow-roasted and finished with a fragrant shallot-rosemary au jus.

Round out your evening with selections from our distinguished wine collection and artfully mixed cocktails. Take advantage of the TRU Ninety-Two prix fixe experience—three beautifully crafted courses at $59, offered until 6pm Monday through Saturday and throughout Sunday evening. Stop by during Happy Hour at the bar to enjoy 50% off featured cocktails, curated wines, and oysters shucked to order.
