Reviews for Truluck's Ocean's Finest Seafood and Crab in San Diego, CA

This restaurant was so nice very very upscale and get ready to pay the price. So if you just want a nice night out on the town... to splurge and spend money this restaurant is it the food was very tasteful season very well. I like how they don’t let anydishes sit on your table if you’re finished with them I don’t care what staff member if they see a dish on the table theyremove it right away Very nice meet and clean the restaurant was beautiful the atmosphere was nice. Our waiter for the night hisname was Charles he was amazing with the menu very knowledgeable with the area gave us tips on where to go since we only had oneday left of being in San Diego. Read more

Food was delicious and our server was very helpful/attentive with the menu due to my allergies. He provided suggestions and also... asked the kitchen if the entree had the ingredients I was allergic to. I will definitely come back. Read more

Our besties that live in San Diego booked this great place for us. If you want fabulous steaks and seafood This is THE place.... Not cheap but the quality of the food and how they prepare it makes it worth it for the splurge. My 2 favourite items was therib eye Steak....OMG so perfectly cooked. Seared it somehow so had this nice flavored texture and juicy and tender inside andthe baked entire clove of garlic was amazing ....I might have to say better than my husband's. He doesn't read my reviews sodon't tell him please. Crab cake....referred by our friendly attentive server ...it was as if someone deshelled a crab and usedthat meat to make the crab cakes....hardly any filler used. When we come back I'm definitely gonna order 2 of them . Lobsterbisque good chucks of lobster but small and I asked for the temperature to be hot but still wasn't that hot. Lobster tail wasgood but for 165 us not sure if i would do that again . Prawn cocktails were solid. The famous carrot cake it was too sweet forme and a little too much cream cheese icing...but again if you like sweet desserts it's fantastic. Only thing I didn't like andI didn't post the picture because it looked unappetizing was the creamed spinach. It looked like there was half an inch of oilsitting on the top of it . If you are Canadian...it tastes like milestones spinach and artichoke dip so taste was fine but waytoo much oil. All in all it was a brilliant meal and I definitely would go back! Read more

This was by far one of the most outstanding meals I have had to date. Every aspect of the meal - the stone crab, the miso... Chilean sea bass, the cocktails, and the baked Alaska - were phenomenal. I cannot stress enough how outrageously well-preparedthe food was here. I’m genuinely impressed, and I hope to be back very soon. Read more

Second time eating here, and it was just as good as the first time!!! This place is amazing. Everything is great. The... atmosphere, the service, and definitely the food. For starters, we had the Hawaiian Tuna Crudo and the Prime Meatballs. Bothwere awesome!!! My wife had a Sonama greens salad that she said was tasty!! Our entrées included a Miso glaze Sea Bass and aoff the menu Pan-Seared Salmon. Both seasoned nicely and cooked to perfection. Even the Creamed Spinach was delicious. Andthen to top it off, they gave us this ice cream, cake, and oreo crumble dessert that was soooooo good!!!! I can't give thisplace enough props. If you have a chance to eat here, I highly recommend you do so!!!!! Excellent restaurant!!!! I'll be back!! Read more

This was an amazing restaurant with exceptional service, atmosphere, food variety and to die for desserts. If your in La Jolla,... CA and looking for a real dinning experience this is the place to go. Seafood, steaks the have it all. Their carrot cake isworld. class. The best carrot cake I've ever had period. Read more

Quick Summary Excellent and fresh seafood. Fantastic service and ambiance. One of my favorite spots in San Diego for a grand... dinner Food- 4 stars Stone crab claws- these are what they are known for, and for good reason. These were so sweet, juicy andfresh. Could eat a bunch of these Branzino- this was good, but was a bit disappointed (not the best I've had and had some boneson the fish remaining- should've been basic and opted for the "Jewels of the Sea" menu) Ribeye- this was a bit disappointingfor a prime ribeye. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly, but was very chewy and was more like a choice steak (probably had somechoice steaks that were more tender) Wedge salad- this was fantastic. I could've eaten 2-3 more of these Lyonnaise potatoes-pretty good and nice to have a deep fried option for potatoes that weren't fries Crab fried rice- this was not what I wasexpected, but still pretty good. Alot of different flavors here (it's not all heavy, buttery fried rice, which I was expectingfrom a crab fried rice) Carrot cake- this was pretty good. A bit on the sweeter side but solid Service- 5 stars Service wasspectacular from start to finish, which I can expect from a prime chain seafood joint Ambiance- 5 stars Both the indoor andoutdoor dining areas are splendid. Little touches like the light-up menu and how awesome the service was made a greatexperience Bottom Line Stick to the seafood (especially the stone crab claws) and enjoy the spectacular service and ambiance Read more

Fantastic service, lovely ambiance (with live music!), and unbelievable food. Our waiter was incredible and knew the menu inside... and out, and gave great recommendations. We ended up getting the crab cake, lobster bisque, striped lobster tail, miso sea bass,lobster mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Get the carrot cake for dessert - it's out of this world. Be prepared to spend a bit butthe quality and taste are beyond worth it. Read more
