| - I must confess, this review is way way over due. And there is not excuse, though if you would accept that the dog ate my review I might try and tell you that is exactly what happened. In actuality I was looking through my reviews today and noticed this one was never written.
The hubby and I went to tuck shop in November. Yup, that long ago. We stopped in before enjoying the art walk. I'm a really big fan of the location, I love all the historic homes, any excuse to drive through these lovely neighborhoods works for me. And the building they are housed in, beautiful. I really love how they set this up. The dining room is lovely and I look forward to taking advantage of using the huge table in the middle of the dining room for a birthday or other celebration in the future.
Service was good, our waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu. I really love the bottled tea they served.
Now for the important part, the reason I am writing this review so long after the fact: the chorizo stuffed dates, covered in gouda. OMG. I mean really. OMG. These suckers are like little pieces of heaven. My husband and I could not get enough. Sweet and spicy and smoky. I now serve my attempt at them at every family gathering, I think they are making my mother-in-law start to hate me a little less, so special thanks for that Tuck.
We also had the cheese curds, another first, and they were good. And we split the rib dinner. Those ribs, oh boy, the meat just melted off of the bone in the absolute best way possible. My husband was none too impressed by the cole slaw, but its hard for any cole slaw to stand out in a meal like that.
My only gripe, like some of the other reviewers, is the price to portion ratio. We only had four of those mind blowing dates, which would be fine, if the price was better proportioned to the size. I felt a tad bit taken on the ribs also, again small portion for the price. This is the only reason I haven't been able to talk the hubby into another visit as of yet.
