★★★★★
The stone crab was unreal — clearly fresh, claws were huge, mustard sauce was perfect. Service was attentive without being intrusive and the piano made the whole evening feel like an event.

The place
Truluck's Ocean's Finest Seafood and Crab is an upscale seafood and steak restaurant at 777 Brickell Ave, Suite 110, in the Brickell neighborhood of Miami, Florida. The signature dish is wild-caught Florida stone crab, flown in daily from the restaurant's own fisheries during season (October through May). The menu also features prime steaks, Alaskan king crab, Maine lobster, and an award-winning wine list. A daily half-price happy hour runs in the lounge from 4pm to close at the bar, with live piano music nightly. Reservations are strongly recommended and the dining room enforces a smart-casual dress code. Valet parking is available at the entrance on Brickell Avenue.
Tucked into the ground floor of 777 Brickell, Truluck's brings a polished, white-tablecloth seafood experience to the heart of Miami's financial district. The dining room is dim and clubby, with leather banquettes, a long marble bar, and a live pianist who plays nightly. The restaurant owns its own Florida stone crab fisheries, so during season (October through May), the claws on your plate were almost certainly pulled from the Gulf within 24 hours.
Start with the stone crab claws served chilled with mustard sauce — the dish the restaurant is built around. Other standouts include the miso-glazed Chilean sea bass, the Alaskan king crab legs, a 16oz prime bone-in filet, and the warm chocolate malt cake for dessert. The wine list runs deep on California and Bordeaux, and the bar program leans heavily on classic cocktails and a strong martini menu.
Reservations are essential, especially Thursday through Saturday and during stone crab season. The lounge offers half-price appetizers, sushi, and select cocktails daily during happy hour — a notably good value for the zip code. Valet parking is offered out front; the restaurant is also a five-minute walk from the Brickell Metromover station. Dress code is smart-casual.

What people are saying
★★★★★
Happy hour in the lounge is one of the best values in Brickell. Half-price crab cakes, sushi, and martinis from 4pm. Came for a drink, stayed for dinner.
★★★★★
Celebrated an anniversary here and they made it feel special — signed menu, complimentary dessert, and the bone-in filet was cooked exactly to temp. Pricey but worth it for occasions.
