For the second year in a row Ruth Ann and Jacob Plotkin generated a terrific menu. Truluck’s is really very special when it comes to seafood. The jumbo sea scallop and the lobster tail were unbelievably good. The wines were all very fine matches and there was a choice with the Surf-n-Turf of a Rose rather than a Pinot Noir and those who chose the Rose said it really worked very well.
