TUCK SHOP is an absolute gem! The espresso martini here is simply the best I've ever had - perfectly crafted & absolutely delicious thanks Karly! Huge thanks to the staff for being so warm & attentive, Gabriel for his fantastic sense of humor that added a special touch to the evening, & Jérémie for the gallant & gracious welcome. The team truly goes above & beyond to create an amazing dining experience. I can't wait to come back!
Un délice du début à la fin. L'endroit est superbe, la nourriture est délicieuse & exécutée à la perfection, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & le staff est incroyablement attentionné. Un gros merci à notre serveur. Nous y retournerons!
Came here for a New Year's Eve dinner - amazing service & one of the best salads I've had in my life! However the focaccia was a total miss & $95 for a piece of mid-quality filet mignon was questionable - generally left feeling that it would have been an amazing meal if it had been 20% cheaper.
They accommodated a group of us (8) & sat us in the back area past the kitchen. The service was great & it was nice to be in a quieter area where we could have good conversations. The food was so yummy! We went family style on the apps & enjoyed them all. Thank you for a great time.
I spent Friday night at Tuck Shop with my family for my birthday, & it was everything I would have hoped for. The food was excellent, & the service was seamless. I believe our server was named Luis, he was attentive, pleasant & funny. We never once waited for refills of drinks, or were without something we needed. Having worked as a server myself I absolutely appreciate good customer service, & theirs was wonderful. They seemed to work as a team which I love. Between the 5 of us we ordered all of the mains, & each one was great! The oysters were some of the best I've had, & the focaccia was delicious. Honestly one of the best birthday dinners I've had at a restaurant, maybe ever. It's not often that service & food quality both blow me away, & Tuck Shop had the perfect balance of both. Thank you to all the staff for a lovely birthday experience! We will absolutely be back when we're in town next.
We went to Tuck Shop on December 6th for a special occasion- the food was terrific, the service by Luis was impeccable ( two of us worked as servers in the past-he was a perfect waiter- attentive, not pushy, there when we needed him!) & the atmosphere is great- we highly recommend Tuck Shop!
Great ambience & amazing service! More of a lowkey, casual fine dining place. We got the Focaccia to start & it was honestly the best I ever had. Perfectly salted, super soft on the inside, & add the perfect crisp on the outside. For the mains we split the: - Hanger Steak it was good & the fries were good, but nothing special - Duck magret the duck was cooked soo well & I liked all the complementary components of the dish - Cappelletti my husband loved this dish, but since I'm not a fan of sweeter pasta, I couldn't not taste pumpkin pie. He however, thought it was the best dish out of the 3 we tried
