I know, Truluck's is a chain restaurant, BUT the one here in San Diego really is exceptional. I've been to them in other cities and wasn't at all impressed. Overpriced and not that great. But that has changed since I've been going to the San Diego Truluck's! This place does it all right. The service is exceptional. You don't even have to ask for a black napkin if you're wearing black; they automatically provide one. And the waitstaff is wonderful. They are always there when you need them but not overbearing. They usually have live music and the food is consistently yummy. The atmosphere is comfy but upscale (it can get a little loud on the weekends, but what nice place doesn't?). I had the hot house tomato salad and the Stone crab claws tonight. My husband had Chilean Sea bass. all was excellent. They even provide drawn butter with its own warmer. It doesn't get much better. Yes, it's a bit pricey but worth it for a special occasion.
