LA JOLLA–This Mother’s Day, Truluck’s Seafood, Steak, and Crab House invites families to treat mom to a celebration of family and fine-dining, complete with mouthwatering, Southern-inspired cuisine, limited-time brunch offerings, stand-out libations, a special gift for mom, and more.
Regularly cited among San Diego’s top seafood restaurants, Truluck’s La Jolla will open early on Sunday, May 12, to accommodate families’ holiday dining preferences and celebrate dining mothers with the gift of a complimentary Gerbera Daisy plant. Along with the complete dinner menu, featuring the restaurants’ signature Florida Stone Crab served fresh from trap to table within hours, Truluck’s will offer Mother’s Day diners savory, limited-time brunch options including:
- Lobster Avocado Toast: Sliced Maine lobster tail, harvest toast, avocado salad, tarragon aioli, bacon and sunny side up eggs
- Crab Cake Benedict: Jumbo crab cakes, steakhouse hash browns, poached eggs, jalapeno bearnaise and caviar with Sonoma greens salad
- Crab and Shrimp Frittata: King crab, rock shrimp, brie, asparagus, eggs and avocado tomato relish
- Lost Bread French Toast: Cinnamon French toast, pan-seared andouille and apples, warm buttered syrup and spicy pecans
- Mediterranean Seafood Salad: Crab, shrimp, and calamari with tomato, olives, cucumbers and feta cheese
The restaurant’s mixologists have created an exclusive, mom-inspired specialty cocktail, “The Matriarch” for the occasion. The flowery concoction is made with an endearing mix of rum, Montenegro amarol, Shochu (sweet potato and rice vodka from Japan), orgeat and lime juice. Truluck’s mixologists hand craft libations with expert care, using only premium spirits mixed with fresh fruit and hand-squeezed citrus juices. Additionally, Truluck’s wine list, recognized by Wine Spectator Magazine’s Award of Excellence, offers perfect mealtime pairings with more than 70 exquisite varietals available by the glass and bottle.
Like mothers, a Truluck’s pastry chef’s work is never done. For dessert, families can indulge in a decadent array of house-made desserts, including Chocolate Malt Cake, Baked Alaska and the restaurant’s signature Carrot Cake, topped with caramel drizzle and spicy pecans.
