Truluck's

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Brickell's Anchor for Serious Seafood

Since opening in 2010, Truluck's has earned its place as a cornerstone of Miami's Brickell neighborhood — a polished American seafood restaurant where the occasion, whatever it may be, is taken seriously. Situated at the intersection of 8th Street and Brickell Avenue, it sits at the center of the city's financial district, moments from South Beach and Key Biscayne, and carries the kind of quiet confidence that comes from over a decade of consistent, deliberate hospitality.

The restaurant's Wine Spectator Award of Excellence speaks to that consistency — a recognition that extends from the kitchen to a cellar curated to complement the seafood-forward menu.

Stone Crab, Prime Steaks, and the TRU Ninety-Two

The culinary identity here is built on a commitment to sustainable seafood that traces back to the company's founding in 1992. At the Miami location, that means Florida Stone Crab from October through May — responsibly harvested, served chilled, pre-cracked, and accompanied by the house mustard sauce. Beyond the stone crab, the menu moves through sesame-seared tuna, sautéed scallops with shrimp, and premium oysters, alongside USDA Prime hand-carved steaks: filet mignon, New York strip, and a Sunday slow-roasted Prime Rib with shallot-rosemary au jus.

For those who want a structured evening, the TRU Ninety-Two prix fixe offers three courses at $59 — a composed entry point into what the kitchen does best. Happy Hour runs daily and brings the bar to life with half-price cocktails, wines by the glass, and freshly shucked oysters.

The Team Behind the Table

General Manager Mickey Gonzalez and Regional Chef Partner Odel Arencibia lead a team described, in the restaurant's own words, as genuinely devoted to building lasting impressions. Live piano plays nightly. The dress code is polished but comfortable — this is a place where guests are encouraged to dress for the occasion they're celebrating, and the room holds that standard.

Private events can be arranged beyond standard hours with customized menus, making Truluck's a practical choice for milestone gatherings in one of Miami's most well-connected addresses.
