Mahi Mahi was moist and tender ; kale side was too crispy; baked potato was ordinary. Vito provided first rate service, and my wife appreciated his white wine recommendation. She missed the angel hair pasta & mussels she has had in the past; grilled shrimp with spaghetti was too heavy as a replacement.

Everything was great except the very loud bar/ rock music that was distracting to meal conversation & food enjoyment. Perhaps it was set for the adjacent loud bar? Made us want to leave immediately after the meal. No lingering. Dinner music needs to be addressed. The room is already loud enough with people & conversation.

Truffles is expensive but worth every dollar! Wonderful staff, inventive but flavorful menu. Creole to the best burger and truffle fries in America. Champagne or the best wine by the glass rounds off the evening.

We have eaten here many times over many years . This occasion was a birthday . We were seated at an orphan table. The host apologized for the table and committed to move us once a table opened up . We ordered a cocktail and waited to be moved - never happened . The food has gone down hill. Roast chicken is served in a bowl over potatoes . Half way through you end up with kind of mashed potato soup under your chicken. The crab cakes were horrible . Prior editions were great. This version now has shrimp paste; the crab cakes are rubbery and taste like crappy shrimp . On the plus side - the wine list is great and the bar program remains strong . The waiter was friendly and professional. Overall- crappy experience - table in the pathway to the bathroom and well below average food.

Truffles was hands down the best dining experience we have had in awhile. I chose them for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner and I am so happy I did. They really took the time to celebrate his day. You could tell the staff works cohesively as one team, and the service was phenomenal. Now let’s talk about the food and wine. We loved everything we ordered, and the steaks were cooked perfectly. The filet was probably the best I have ever had. Their wine list was impressive! We will be back and hopefully more often. They really know how to deliver a quality dining experience for the value.

We have gone to Truffles every year for the past 4 years on our anniversary. This was our last year. We were seated under harsh lights that felt like an interrogation room. The amuse bouche, while tasty, was scalding hot and I needed to spit it out because it burned my mouth. My wife had to cut hers in half and let it cool. Not very amusing. The salad course was fine. For entrees, my wife ordered mushroom risotto and chicken breast. The risotto was nearly all mushrooms and the portion was very small. This wasn't a side dish. The chicken was presented alone on a plate and was too dry to eat. My steak dish came blue to rare but I had ordered medium rare. However, the outside was burnt (not charred) and way under seasoned. The brocollini was also burnt. Both items were bitter from the burning. Ironically, the twice baked potato was cold. The restaurant was nearly empty at the time we sat down and it was a Tuesday, so maybe the chef was a second string chef. My pre-dinner cocktail was fine but I decided to order my wine from the Truffles couravin or Coravin wine preservation system. The two wines I ordered, a 2004 french white and a 2016 trebbiano were both non-drinkable. Oddly, I was not offered a taste first but simply poured a full glass. I would avoid this gimmick and order from the bottle stock. Finally, the waiter did offer to refire my steak but the meat was already ruined on the outside. To re-cook the 1.5 inch sirloin correctly would have taken 15-20 minutes and a new steak. I did speak to the manager, Alexander, who showed very little interest or concern. Overall a very poor experience.

As always, our experience was very enjoyable. This time I tried one of the specials which was sea scallops with a creamed corn and potatoes augratin. They were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of sear on the outside, while the creamed corn had a nice richness to it. My husband had a steak made tuscan style which he enjoyed as well. I also must comment on the desert. The key lime tart was delicious!

Went this past weekend with my spouse and thoroughly enjoyed it. This was a very ritzy crowd and we felt a little out of our element, but the food and ambiance were outstanding. We definitely will be back and recommend it. It is very expensive. For two people with alcohol and tip, we spent nearly $500.

This place used to be wonderful and we have been coming since they opened, many years ago. The last two times we went, the food was not up to our expectations from past visits (tiny servings, flavors out of balance), and the prices were very high. Our waiter was very tense and interactions with him were uncomfortable. He brought the wrong item to one of the people we were dining with and didn't really apologize when removing it. All four of us at the table were clear on our friend's order, the waiter simply made a mistake. Sorry to say we probably won't be back.

Our salads were way too salty. Our steaks were either too raw or too overdone and they gave the wrong steak to the wrong person The chicken pad tai was again too salty. The halibut was over done and nothing was really hot. I have eaten at Truffles before and loved it. We brought guests from out of town and I have to say we were all disappointed. Our server was nice but I think she noticed us talking about our meal and did not come over to ask us how it was, not once. There were 5 of us and we paid over $700.00 and it was not the meal we expected. A lot of money for a mediocre meal.
