Truluck’s Seafood, Steak, and Crab House added to its list of eco-conscious eateries—the company owns its own fisheries and crabbing boats to avoid catching and serving endangered fish species—with the opening of its third Florida location, in Fort Lauderdale, at the end of June. (There are two other Florida locations, in Boca Raton and Naples.) Rectangular black-framed mirrors, black geometric light fixtures, and eight water-filled cylindrical vases filled with live orchids decorate the restaurant.
The 4,500-square-foot dining room seats as many as 325 divided among four-top tables and semicircular banquettes. To the right of the space, a 1,500-square-foot tiled piano bar offers live music daily and can seat 60 at its bar and highboys.
For private events, at the rear of the restaurant, the 1,000-square-foot Hemingway Room—decorated with photos of its namesake author—seats 40. Two outdoor dining areas can seat an additional 45.
Besides fresh seafood, the restaurant also serves antibiotic- and hormone-free beef, pork, and lamb dishes. Partial buyouts are available for seated events of as many as 150.
