    have dined at Tuckers many times and always had a good experience. this Sat, April 19, was very different. very slow and poor service. waitress brought our drinks well after appetizers were served. blamed it on the bar staff yet we saw our drinks sitting for at least 10 minutes. two entrees were overcooked. a burger that was ordered medium rare, came out extra well done. even though the waitress acknowledged it was over cooked...and mentioned other customers had a similar experience...there was no offer to provide another properly cooked burger, remove it from our bill, provide desert or drinks, etc. restaurant was not very busy and nowhere close to "in season" busy. very disappointed.

    Great food and services as usual. The large seafood sampler app was fantastic, full of shrimp, pysters, clams, and tuna. A bargain at $45. Great place for kids.

    Though the casamigos drinks were a little pricey, the drinks were made rather well. Service was excellent. Very attentive. Food came out in a good amount of time allowing for socialization. The crispy half chicken dish and the flounder piccata dishes were excellent. Looking forward to our next time there!

    We all had basic bar food, calamari, flatbreads, and burgers. Everything was well prepared and we really enjoyed it. Our server was really great, and although she gave us her name, I regrettably don't recall it. But she was very patient, took great care of us and has a teriffic personality. We'll be back

    My first time there and it was wonderful, starting with the nice greeting near the door, followed by an adorable waitress who gave great advice on menu choices, and the delicious food. I also had the most delicious mocktail (Lent) while others enjoyed their wine and beer. Thanks for a great night in this fabulous setting!
