FOOD THE TUCK ROOM As if it wasn’t enough that iPic, the new uber-luxury, service-oriented cinemas in the the River Oaks District, opened its doors last month, they also launched their first gastro lounge concept. When you first visit you will be so in awe of the theater that you probably won’t notice the discreet lounge quietly tucked in an intimate alcove overlooking the restaurant. Three-time James Beard Award winner CHEF SHERRY YARD and Master mixolo- gist/advanced sommelier ADAM SEGER come together to create a carefully crafted menu synergizing food and drink in a way not expected at a movie theater. Creative cocktails including their Hand Shaken Tuck Margarita or a Bee’s Knees are all made to order and can be taken into the movie. With attention to local craft beers, herbs and liquors, customization is key here. The wine list is made up of more than 100 selections, including local options as well. Once you pick your poison, choose from oysters or an amazing Spicy Tuna Hand Roll, Angus Sliders or a Charcuterie board. Dessert is also given the special treatment with a Lemon Box Cake or a Peanut Butter Bar among the delicious options. There’s no need to kill time anywhere else before your next movie.
