| - Finally, after many months after finding out of this place, we decided to go for a date night. It was as good as I had previously read and we intend to go back. My husband feels this place isn't appropriate for take-out food and perhaps he is right. We both had a glass of wine, (husband had two) and started with the grill baguette with creamy roasted garlic/olive oil and the crispy shrimp/okra. The baguette dish was okay but I am always a sucker for bread dishes. It was $5 but I was just remarking to my husband that at St Francis, they brought us bread with olive oil complimentary. So basically, at Tuck Shop we paid for the roasted garlic. But, hey, I am not complaining...they gotta make money, right? The crispy shrimp and okra was so delicious and I rarely go for the fried dishes. I really loved it. The batter was light, flaky and it came with two sauces (One sweet and spicy and the other an herbed yogurt sauce). I don't generally go for yogurt sauces but really liked this one. To share, we ordered the mac and cheese and the Medjool dates. I don't really like dates but my husband really wanted to try them. Boy, am I glad he did. They were stuffed with chorizo and cheese with a bed of dressed arugula to the side. I could have eaten the arugula for days. It had this oiled, salty dressing that reminded me of the dressing they use on salads at Korean BBQ in Mesa. So good. And not to forget the fig that was also delicious. It didn't have an overly fig taste which might be why I liked it as much as I did. The mac and cheese was really good, too, but not my husband's taste. He felt the cheese was a little grainy but it was reminiscent, to me, of a parmesan sauce which can be grainy. I loved it. It had bits of what I think was bacon and very yummy. I actually had the mac/cheese leftovers for lunch today and it was still as good. The decor was nice although my husband was a little put off by the fact that it seemed like a higher end restaurant that used paper napkins and put paper covering on the tables. He also felt like with the wide open dining space, it felt like a high end cafe. I can see his points but they didn't bother me. Our bill was approx $57 which for three glasses of wine and splitting four plates, was pretty good. We were very content with the amount of food we ate. The menu wasn't very extensive but that's okay. Like I said, we would definitely go back and try some other things on the menu.
