| - I loved it! I have heard good things about this place for a while now, but for some reason, never think to go there when I am trying to figure out dinner arrangments. The night we went, there was some concert going on at the little hall (I'm not really sure what it was exactly) across the street, so parking was scarce. The neighborhood that Tuck Shop is tucked away in is cute, and thankfully there were not many parking restrictions that we could see. We wound up having to park a little over a block away, so it wasn't too bad.
When we got there, there were several people waiting (a party of two and a party of 12, so it looked a lot busier than it was), but we were seated in less than 10 minutes. Both the host and our server were incredibly kind, funny and outgoing. They really made it feel like they knew you, like you had been there a thousand times before.
We started with the Savory Simon Hand pies stuffed with sausage, kale and apple. They were amazing, though I didn't taste the slightest hint of apple. The chorizo stuffed medjool dates were incredible. Perfect amounts of sweet and spicy melded together. I could have madea meal of just the dates and hand pockets. The mac and cheese was really good, but from from being as special as the dates or hand pockets. We then split an entree. We had the Vovo's favorite which was cannolini stuffed with cheese and catfish and topped with more cheese and a green chili sauce. Wow! The flavors complimented eachother perfectly. It was wonderful.
It was an all around perfect dinner, from service, to wine to food. Can't wait to come back!
