Truluck's Easter Extravagance
In addition to Truluck's usual menu of seafood and steaks, both Austin locations will showcase some "special offerings" for Easter. Two items are special enough to shout out right here: 1) Lobster Thermidor made with chunks of spiny lobster tail meat simmered in a creamy shellfish sauce with Havarti cheese, mushrooms, and tarragon; and 2) the Easter Bloom cocktail, composed of Pierre Ferrand Ambre Cognac, almond orgeat, Angostura, bitters, lemon and lime juice, all strained into a martini glass and garnished with dried tea roses and an orchid. That particular combo will set you back almost $150, yes, but – Easter comes only once a year, n'est-ce pas?Fri.-Sun., April 15-17 -
