New Additions That Reimagine the Space
Guests walking into the newly remodeled Truluck’s are greeted by a Mediterranean-inspired atmosphere. The soaring olive trees add to the leisurely backdrop of the main dining room, accented by the piano key tile floors. The marble-inspired finishes and supple leather booths add to this sleek charm.
