    Located inside top floor of the Ipic movie theater. There's happy hour mon-fri 4-6pm. Great cocktail for $7 n snacks for $7. They have the best truffle fries. On Wednesdays is 50% off bottle of wine (orig bottle price up to $100). I love sipping wine during the movie. Yes you can take to bottle to the movies if you don't finish. Even though there's food n drink service at the movies. Service is friendly n courteous. It's a must stop by before if after the movies.

    So after our first IPIC experience, we were definitely hungry, since we did not get serviced during the movie. So, my hubby made reservations for The Tuck Room, which so happens to be an escalator ride up in the same building as the IPIC movie theater, which was so convenient. We gathered our belongings and headed upstairs. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, and they were playing the best music selection for my ears. :) our waiter Matt was fantastic, super cool, knowledgeable, and serviced us with a smile. We looked over the menu and everything looked delicious. For our appetizers we ordered the Poblano Artichoke Dip and the Nacho Grande with Short Ribs on top which both were absolutely delicious. The size portions for both were huge......big enough to have as your main meal. For our entrees he ordered the Boss Burger that came with fries with an Espresso Martini and I got the Airline Chicken Breast seared, roasted fingerling potato, herbed wild mushroom confit, with a brandied mustard cream and I washed it down with a glass of Pursuit Of Happiness........YUM-O We ended our night with a bang everything that we've had there was delicious. Our waiter was awesome and the music was great. I shook my head from side to side and sang-along to the music playing through our entire dinner service lol I even texted my friend who lives in the same building with me and told her she needs to check this place out. I highly recommend, and I will be returning again. Cheers

    Has the pleasure of dining here twice before going to the movies at the IPIC theater and both times I was able to have such a wonderful experience. Maria and Christina are both very good at making sure you have good food and a good experience. The food was delicious. The ambience is great. I wish

    I visited The Tuck Room today for happy hour before seeing a movie an hour later. Unfortunately, it took about 35 minutes for two appetizers, a drink, and two Diet Cokes to arrive, though the food itself was actually really good. The biggest issue I had was with the bill. The charges were completely incorrect--all the prices were charged at regular rates, not happy hour prices. I had to call the waiter back to correct it, and she brought her manager over. While the manager tried to fix it, the final bill still ended up being more than it should have been. It was so confusing and frustrating. On top of that, charging $8 for one Diet Coke is insane. While the food was great, the billing experience was really disappointing. Everything was incorrect, and it left a bad impression.

    Really enjoyed our time at The Tuck Room. Pretty cool that its above a movie theater, as a hidden classy cocktail bar. All of our drinks were fantastic. My salmon with an Avocado sauce, pesto and Pomm seeds was delicious and perfectly cooked. The decor was classy, bookish, modern but retro inspired. It was really conforting and the kind of place you could hang out in all night. My wifes chicken dish was enjoyed as well. Glad to have this in the downtown area. Even on the seaport it wasnt overly touristy, most of the guests seemed somewhat local. We'll be back. My only complaint is when I asked for a candle for my wifes bday in the desert the server was thrown off and they had no candles in the back. They had to just put one of the electric candles on the plate. Pro-Tip: at a bar like this you definitely want to be prepared for birthdays!

    I came here to try the happy hour and Omar, Gianna, Dalvin was so amazing and they were extremely knowledgeable when it came to the history of different cocktails. The happy hour small bites was amazingly Awesome. The giggle water signature cocktail by Omar was a balanced and smooth Mezcal that you should try when you stop by because it was so smooth going down. Please do not sleep on the Tuck room food, service and great staff they have on deck. If you want to sample the experience please try the Happy hour special from Monday-Friday 3-6pm and I'll guarantee you will be a regular for happy hour and dinner. The decor art is NYC graffiti and I thought it was so Dope!!! Great vibes and good eats and drinks. Check out a movie after you eat one floor below at the IPIC

    This restaurant located on the 3rd floor of Ipic move theater at Sea Port. It looked very nice and we decided to have a dinner and a movie. Well... that was a bad decision. First of all the food is bad, it could fly with some average diner, but this wasn't the case. Duck meat balls were dry, chewy and simply not tasty, no seasoning. Short rib cheese sandwich, the meat was okay, again not seasoned and had no cheese at all, although it had in in the name and according to menu should have goat cheese. The same goes for burrata flat bread, that didn't have burrata and the bread was looked like it was from frozen section of Kfood. Spicy tuna crispy rice wasn't spice and wasn't crispy. The service was on the par with the food quality. It took almost half an hour to get our order despite the place wasn't busy. They have brought utensils, but i had to grab napkins from another table. The server was trying to clean our table without us finishing the dishes. When they cleaned dirty plates, they have not brought cleaned ones and I had to ask them to get some. So lots of staff but very poor service. The only good thing about this place is the bar. The drinks were very creative and tasty. So my advice, get a drink there but order the food in the theater, although it is the same kitchen, somehow I had no problems with the food in there.

    The Tuck Room is a beautiful restaurant located within the iPic theater. I believe you can access the restaurant from outside as well without having to actually be at the theater. The restaurant is beyond beautiful. All of the small details from the piano to the book shelves make this feel like a cozy fancy restaurant. They do have two sections where you can potentially host dinner parties. One space is large and seems to fit 25 to 30 people. The second space is smaller and seems to maybe accommodate 10 people. I have entered this restaurant multiple times as the iPic theater doesnt have a bathroom on its floor so you have to go through the restaurant to use theirs. I never noticed how big this space is but they actually have more seating beyond the bar section. I had never noticed it before. Upon entering we were greeted by a food runner, i believe. He was extremely friendly and accommodating. He greeted us as soon as we stepped off the escalators and directed us to a table. Our waitress was also extremely helpful and nice as well. We ended up ordering the Crispy Tuna and Bone Marrow for appetizer. We also got the special which was Peruvian Steak Kabobs and the Boss Burger. The crispy tuna lacked, not in flavor but texture. The rice was not crispy at all. I could tell immediately when the plate was dropped on the table. The rice was too light so i knew they didnt take the time to truly crisp it up. The bone marrow was good, certainly something different to try. I liked having to scoop out the center and adding it to the toast myself. I think the onion jam put on top could of been more savory, It was sweet. The boss burger was amazing. Its a double pattie so be ready to be full. They do offer truffle fries, regular fries and sweet potato fries. We opted for sweet potato. They were amazing. The Peruvian kabobs were so good. I wish they were bigger as the photo gives the impression that its a bigger dish. The steak was cooked well and was tender, great flavor too. The sauces on the plate were amazing. I couldnt get enough of them. The potatoes were really good but looked nothing like the photo. I believe they were supposed to be deep fried and crispy, it wasnt. They were soft layers that broke off as soon as you tried to pick it up. Either way, it was still delicious. The food was good and had great flavor. A few execution issues but nothing that wouldnt make me come back and try more food. For drinks we had The Orchard and the Refresher. Both drinks were mocktails and were absolutely delicious. I love the fact that they had mocktails, not everyone is a drinker so having these options is amazing. The service was fairly quick. The restaurant wasnt packed yet but it was certainly lively and had multiple tables occupied. Overall this place is great. I definitely recommend it for an after work dinner and drinks vibe. I cannot wait to come back and try more items here.

    You wouldn't know there is a restaurant/bar since it share the entrance with IPIC movie theater. The happy hour is pretty cool. Drinks for $7 and some appetizers at a great price. Truffle fries were $6 and super good. Not greasy and very tasty with parsley and parmesan. You can skip the nachos. Tuesday is supposed to be ladies night and drinks are $3 during happy hour (3-6pm). I'll be back on Tuesday! Service was good but extremely slow. Our food took forever. Don't come hungry lol

    Ruined cake
    Tiffany B.

    My family and I dined at The Tuck Room in celebration of my daughters birthday, prior to our movie downstairs at IPic. In addition to a extended wait for drinks and food, the server informed me that I was not allowed to cut the cake that we had brought in for the birthday. I told him that I didn't mind paying the cake cutting fee but I preferred to cut the cake myself. He said it was against the law to allow me to cut the cake myself and the cake must be brought into the kitchen for them to cut it. I've never heard this law and have yet to find this law documented anywhere, despite my time in law school. Nevertheless, the sever then proceeded to bring me back a completely butchered cake. He clearly did not know how to cut a cake and it wasn't cut at all in a way appropriate for consumption. He said it was up to us to cut the cake into pieces that we can eat. So if we still had to cut it, why do we have to pay a cake cutting fee and I thought having me cut it was illegal?! Why he had to cut the entirety of my cake into gigantic pieces for 9 guest I'm still trying to figure out. The manager, Cash, then offered us drinks for our troubles, which he later recinded the offer because we didn't accept it quick enough. Absimal hospitality.

    This place is beautiful, has a huge potential but the waiting time is horrible! Went there twice, first time we waited too long to the server to go to the table but we tough cause of the happy hour was ok to wait, but then... second time, I wanted to give it another try, but same thing happened!!! Food is ok, drinks where good but service I can not even judge the server, but the management for not to have enough staff to work!

    Caesar salad with Mahi.

    The Caesar salad was really good and the Mahi was divine. The salad is slightly overdressed but overall good. Not pictured are the truffle fries which were also good. The shrimp linguine was nice.

    Update: Unfortunately have to update my 3 star review to 1 star. Went home right after dining here to be met with food poisoning. No doubt it was the Ranch dressing I mentioned. I called today to speak with the manager about either contaminated Ranch or poor handling of their condiments. The manager told the host on the phone they would not speak with me unless I went to urgent care. Coupled with the poor service, it seems they have poor management as well. No desire to return. If you dine here, don't get condiments, I guess. Prayers to your stomach, future patrons! I really wanted to leave 5 stars but, The Tuck Room has to work on their service. First time coming here today after exploring the area, around 7:30. I sat at the front side of the bar which was full but emptied after about 5 minutes. I was greeted in a timely fashion by the bartender. Ordered Riesling and it came quickly. My only qualm at this point was the visibly new bar back who stood in front of me; he had two modes: leaning against the bar with an angry face or playing on his phone. This lasted the entirety of my visit. My only other issue was with the timing of service, otherwise I had no issues whatsoever. I ordered the lemon pepper chicken wings that took longer than usual to come out but there was a table of 20 by the window, so expected it. When the wings arrived, there was no ranch (comes with) so I waited around 8 minutes for the bartender to return . She didn't so I walked to where she was (using the dishwasher). As I returned to my seat, I heard her take the orders of the couple a few seats down me and put it in the system. I waited about 20 minutes total before I could eat my wings. When the ranch came, it looked like she took a cup of ranch that had been sitting on the counter for some time--- the top of it was hardened over. I made no fuss, I was hungry. It took another 10 minutes for her to take my card, so much so that I had to have the aforementioned bar back give it to her. The bar area was nearly empty so I'm not sure why there was such a lag. But I am excited to return to try the Ladies Happy Hour on Tuesday soon. Hoping this wasn't a normal occurrence.

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

It's better than it needs to be, which in this neighborhood counts for a lot. The room is the star. Brass, smoked mirrors, marble, wallpaper with burlesque dancers, very Gatsby cosplay but done with actual money. Think the Campbell at Grand Central, minus the $28 martini attitude. It's also LOUD downstairs. Ask for upstairs if you want to hear your date. Gin is the program here and they take it seriously, house-infused bottles paired with specific tonics, not an afterthought. My G&T was legitimately well built. Food from chef JC Colón is better than cocktail-bar standard: truffle fries in duck fat are worth it, the lobster mac at $31 is rich and fine but you've had it before. Skip dessert. The steak frites at $48 is where I'd tap out, that's real-restaurant money for bar food execution. Here's the move though: weekday happy hour, 4 to 7. Dollar oysters and $13 cocktails in a room this pretty is one of the best deals in Midtown, full stop. Service was warm and fast even slammed. Not a destination, but if you're near Bryant Park or seeing a show, this beats everything else within five blocks. Book ahead, walk-ins were getting turned away by 5:30.

All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders.

    Dear Strangers? Yes, they certainly treat you like one! This place is not good. They seemed…read moreunprepared to handle restaurant week. There weren't enough servers to handle the crowd and that was reflective in our dinner service. Despite being checked in on 0 times and having to flag them down for water, to order, and to get our check, their attitude wasn't warm or accommodating at all. It even came off like we were bothering our server when asking for basic things. The food was subpar. Didn't try the drinks. Maybe that's the savior? -Tuna tartare acceptable; nothing to write home about -Chicken dumplings tasted like chicken but had no bite to it. Weird and served on paper that resembled a crumpled receipt or used tissue. -Chicken cutlet was warm and soggy. No truffle flavor as advertised on the menu. Some creativity points for the accompanying foam dip but it didn't work. -Beef short rib was tasty but the single potato that come with it felt insulting and cheap. Really? One potato? -Pecan pie dessert and sorbet were really good. Sad way to finish, only enjoying the final course. Ambiance was good. Floors were super slippery because they were tiled on a snowy day. They should warn their guests about that. Lots of work to be done here and I will not be around to see it through!

The food (dingle pie and spice bag chips) were also really good. The spice bag chips seasoning was really good. We walked in Wednesday 8:30 PM and they had a couple of high chair seats at a side bar in the parlor room available. Really fun decorations and ambiance.

The expansion into the building next door tripled the Taproom, and the crowds tripled with it. Here's the thing though. The Irish Coffee is still the best in America. Served warm, not scalding, cream whipped to order and floated so it sits like a lid. Three tables around me ordered rounds at 2pm and nobody was wrong. The Parlor upstairs is where the actual bar still lives. Sixteen cocktails you can't get downstairs, table service, relative quiet. Downstairs, skip the fried chicken (it's tenders, whatever the menu says) and get the fish and chips, which are honest. Service was fast and a little impersonal, which is what happens when your ground floor is 60 percent tourists photographing the dollar bills on the ceiling. The 1828 building still does a lot of work, low ceilings and all. Is it the world's best bar anymore? No, and half the old bar team has scattered to open their own spots around town, Limo in the East Village being the latest. But a Guinness and an Irish Coffee here on a weekday afternoon is still one of the better hours you can spend below Chambers. Book the Parlor, treat the Taproom as the warmup.

The tea was strong and fragrant - it is on the sweeter side, a bit like dessert, so i had to pair it with water, but it was still yummy and would recommend yuzu contact - this was alright! Typical yuzu but ive had better ones - personally feel like the yuzu can be brighter and a bit sweeter rating: 4/5 - the drinks were all good but nothing particularly stood out except for the hojicha colada - the vibe and the music really brought up my rating though! It was such a cute, cozy, intimate spot for dates - small speakeasy with only a few seats, similar to bars in japan; it's one of those japanese listening bars and i love it - there was light jazz in the background, not too loud that i had to shout - the mood was perfect; I couldn't stop staring at the interior decor and immerse myself in this little cozy corner - service was super quick, nothing much to note IG: @nom.noms.only

It's a very small space, so it may be a bit of a wait for a seat. We came around 8:45 PM, and got a spot at the bar after about 20 minutes. We tried the yuzu contact and the ma-chet baker, and the ma-chet baker was definitely our favorite. It tasted just like a matcha latte, and I liked the bits of gen maicha in it. It wasn't very strong however. The yuzu contact was also very light and citrusy.

Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!
