| - An appropriate English name as this restaurant is "tucked" inside a residential area in an unlikely, but inviting space. But there it is...this quaint and elegant place that seemed to crank out dish after dish of sumptuousness. The Tuck Shop on this hot, non-touristy summer night was filled with local patrons. I spied order after order of chicken with waffles pass me by and their fall-off-the-bone pork dishes, including their ribs and pork belly. We ordered both at our table and it did not disappoint. We started out with their cheese curbs that are lightly coated with bread crumbs and sprinkled with, I am guessing, Kosher salt. For dessert, we shared their wonderful creme brûlée that comes almost as a double order. Oh, lest I forget, I ordered the tastiest cold soup; thickened by soaking bread into the broth and then using the blender. It was a red pepper stock that came with thinly sliced apples and crusty, thinly sliced bread. Delicious! Our waitress was both knowledgable and attentive. We found her to be genuine and a pleasure when she appeared at the table. The only suggestion would be to expand the wine selections, especially the Chardonnay as the only choice was pricey at, I believe, $13.00 a glass. Overall, this is not an inexpensive dinner if you include drinks, but the food is outstanding and we will return again! Bravo.
