The Tuck Room Gastrobar – A Luxurious Theater Experience
Your movie theater experience just got twisted in the best way possible with The Tuck Room, a gastro-bar lounge connected to iPic. iPic is a fancy movie theater with deluxe cushioned reclinable seats for your ultimate viewing comfort, a personal table with food menu, and full bar at your service! There are two seating options which are premium and premium plus, in other words comfy and even more comfy. Take your pick! This isn’t your average theater menu with overpriced popcorn and nachos. Their kitchen offers a wide selection of uniquely crafted foods featuring seafood, meats, salads, and syrupy desserts. It’s lavish meets casual, where the environment is luxurious but the energy is chill; perfect for date night, a night out with friends or any special occasion! They offer movie/dining packages with a custom pre-fixed menu for big groups celebrating an occasion or even business meetings. On weekends, The Tuck Room brings in a Dj to set the vibe. There’s inside and outside seating for those who want to enjoy the weather, plus plenty of comfy couches and high table tops.

Don’t you dare leave without trying their specialty frozen drinks! Their mixologist gives an impressive show behind the bar by hand mixing liquid nitrogen ice with fresh ingredients. You’re literally eating your cocktail as it melts into a drink before your eyes. The Norma Jean packs a tangy punch; made with strawberries, lemonade, and vodka. Their Illegalito is a tropical blend of passion fruit, coconut, pineapple, and rum. This was my favorite, its dangerously good! There will be no sharing for this one. Oh and fun fact: their sugar cane juice is freshly squeezed, au natural. The Tuck Room’s iced cocktails such as the Bacardi Superior Mojito and Luxe Mojito are just as tangy and refreshingly good to eat with your food too.

The Ahi Tuna Poke is a refreshing starter to begin with. A sweet and slightly spicy tuna mix on top of a small bed of rice, served with their own seasoned tortilla chips. The Tandoori Chicken Skewers seem to be a fav pick amongst the guests. These white meat chicken tenderloins are marinated in The Tuck Room’s very own cumin-yogurt sauce overnight to bring out the best tandoori piquant flavor from the grill. The Tandoori Chicken Skewers are plated with cilantro lime rice and cilantro lime sauce.

Our absolute favorite thing were the Crispy Brussels Sprouts! These are the most insanely, uniquely delicious brussels ever made. They were a blend of sweet and savory goodness thanks to their miso-tahini dressing and togarashi sauce with caramelized apple pieces which, by the way, are the same pieces used in their apple pie. Sounds funky but tastes holy. Bless their chef for this creation!

The smoky aroma of their ribs is fantastic. These tender, Mango + Habanero BBQ Baby Back Ribs are generously served as a full rack with a huge block of homemade cornbread and warm maple butter drizzled on top, plus their in-house coleslaw with red pepper made with just a hint of Asian flavor. Pro foodie tip: Don’t be shy and ask for extra maple butter on the side when you order this, I promise you’ll want to dip every cornbread bite into this goodness.
