I've visited the restaurant several times wrap time throughout the 2 1/2 years they've been open and it always feels super inviting. Caldo de camarón was so yummy and not filled with veggies. Ceviche is also very light and yummy. Honestly I think what makes a spot standout more than others is service and sauces. Both are top tier.

My waitress was Vicki and she was pretty pleasant, so that was a plus. The fish ceviche opener is a real nice touch - though I'd prefer fresh cooked chips with it over the crunchy tostada pieces they serve. I ended up ordering shrimp empanadas for starters; $6.99. They were cooked/fried just right as they had a very light brown color, not greasy at all and were piping hot. Came with a "Thousand Island-like" sauce which suited them well. Enchiladas Coras was my entrée choice, this was pretty good and priced at $11.99. Refried beans, rice and a salad (I've never understood why so many Mexican restaurants insist on including a salad with their entrees and put the cold lettuce and veggies on a hot plate - no sense to me, but that's another soapbox). Another reviewer noted that the salsa tastes like seasoned lime juice - I'll second that opinion. It would be nice if they had better and maybe a choice of 2-3 salsas. Reasonably priced Pacifico's at $4.75 each. But overall for me, a good experience. I've been by there when it's busy and I don't think I'd enjoy the place when it's like that. But on a quiet Monday night, it's worth a shot. One thing I will say is that I know seafood isn't cheap nowadays, but this place is generally a bit on the pricey side for the kind of atmosphere there. About half of the plates and silverware you get are to-go type stuff. With entrees in the $20 - $60 range on the menu (mine was one of the least expensive), the "to-go" stuff seems a little tacky.

Skip this place. Recently moved to the area and had been passing by. We should've went to another…read morechicken and seafood restaurant. Upon entering, the place was dead with only one customer eating. Marcy took our order and she was not the kindest person. The food came out fresh after we waited for over 15 minutes, but was nothing special. Very greasy and lacked flavor. She was unprofessional on the phone talking to Uber Eats and it made the meal uncomfortable on top of the tacky and random marine animal decor and poor choice of music playing in the TV. Their restaurant is lacking severely in taste and hospitality. I patiently waited to request for sauces that she forgot to give and she made it seem like I was intruding and interrupting her. She looked over at our table with a rude look and was displeased to give us the ranch that is included in the combo meal. The cole slaw is shredded to pieces and has no bite, the catfish was undercooked and too soft, the shrimps still had shells under the batter, and the chicken wings were small. Everything was extremely oily. They are charging extra for hot sauce, but it literally is just Louisiana hot sauce in a tiny dipping cup. Our total for two meals was $33. You're better off going to another chicken and seafood restaurant for a better deal and price. I was going to do a food vlog at this place, but they are not worth the time wasted to edit and spotlight.

I had 2 bags.... 1-jumbo crab clusters (they actual look like regular snow crab) , 1lb. shrimp, 1/2 lb green mussels (beautiful size and plump), 2 regular crab clusters, and 1/2 lb crawfish.

The bar tender was great, kind, and friendly. She was attentive and we actually had good convo. I ordered shrimp and grits, catfish, and chicken and waffles. The shrimp and grits were tasty. I would prefer thicker grit consistency. The roux was almost like an Alfredo sauce but still pretty decent (7/10). The catfish was crispy and cooked to perfection with a good flavor and nice size filet for the cost (8/10). The chicken was good and crispy also with a good flavor my mom loved the waffles. The margarita was tasty but in a relatively small cup but the pour ounces was measured spot on a I watched her make it. Good flavor. They do have happy hour, nice music playing, TVs to watch sports, and food specials. However my only want would be something vegetarian like a pasta or a great fried eggplant sandwich.

It's rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. The oysters are hands-down the best we've found around here...fresh, clean, and expertly prepared. It's rare to find a place that excels at both seafood and cocktails, but Victory delivers on both. Whether you're stopping in for happy hour drinks and oysters or enjoying a full dinner, it's a place that keeps us coming back. Highly recommended.

Truluck's Ocean's Finest Seafood & Crab - Rosemont, IL…read more 4/5 Parking was easy with the option of valet or the parking garage next door, making arrival simple and stress-free. I grabbed a seat at the bar and waited about 10 minutes before the hostess came over. She politely let me know I needed to remove my hat or leave, even though I was tucked away in the corner. No big deal--I took it off... besides the inevitable hat hair! I was hoping to enjoy a glass of Moët or Dom Pérignon, but they don't offer either by the glass or in splits. The bartender recommended their Cava, and even let me sample it, which I appreciated. The only downside was the tasting glass had just come out of the dishwasher and was still warm, which took away from the experience. I ended up ordering the Cava, and it was a pleasant choice. The bartender recommended the Ahi Tuna Tartare, and it was easily the highlight of the meal. Beautiful presentation with vibrant colors, fresh ahi tuna, creamy avocado, sweet mango, and crispy wonton chips. Every bite was fresh, balanced, and packed with flavor. I would absolutely order it again. For my entrée, I ordered the Red King Crab Legs (half pound) for $88, served with garlic butter and garlic mashed potatoes. The crab itself was very good, but the plate leaned a little too heavily on the garlic for my taste. I asked for regular melted butter instead, and while the bartender happily brought it out, it unfortunately arrived cold. Between the cold butter and all the garlic, I didn't end up finishing the dish. The live piano music was a wonderful touch. She was incredibly talented and added to the upscale atmosphere throughout the evening. The service wasn't the best, but it was solid. There were a few small misses throughout the meal, but nothing that completely ruined the experience. I've been fortunate enough to enjoy seafood all over the country, and while Truluck's is a quality restaurant, I'd still rank Joe's Stone Crab in Chicago, Mama's Fish House in Paia, Hawaii, 555 East Steakhouse in Long Beach, and Swan Oyster Depot in San Francisco ahead of it. Overall, it was an okay dining experience. Nothing was bad, but nothing truly stood out enough to make me want to come back. I'm glad I gave it a try, but based on my personal experience, it just didn't live up to the expectations I had for the price point. 4 out of 5 stars. #TheFoodie99
