| - The Tuck Shop is a converted house tucked away in the Coronado neighborhood. The restaurant which serves modern comfort food has a very cozy homey vibe. I've been here twice so far and have not been disappointed.
My favorite things on the menu are the mac & cheese with the added lobster option. This is the type of mac & cheese that is so creamy and delicious that you won't want to share, it's so good you can't stop eating it. The stuffed medjool dates are also a great choice, the combination of chorizo and gruyere are fantastic. As for the entree, you really can't go wrong with the chicken & waffles. The chicken is cooked perfectly and the breading is full of flavor. The waffle is savory made with cheddar, dense in flavor but fluffy in texture. The green beans served with this dish are crunchy and fresh, and a nice addition. Their cocktails are also delicious, my favorite has been the Pimms Cup. As for dessert, the goat cheese brownie was to die for! Who knew that goat cheese would make such a rich and flavorful dessert without overpowering it with it's flavor, it really worked!
The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of were the cheese curds, I thought they were kind of bland and needed some dipping sauce or more flavorful breading, they were pretty one dimensional. I still highly recommend the Tuck Shop, their menu is seasonal so every time you return there is always something new to try.
