Tucker is both the name of a rare American car, and the Australian slang for "food." This diversity is inherent in the menu, which showcases both American and Australian cuisine. The menu changes often, depending on the availability of fresh ingredients and the chef's choice, but the food is always served in a rustic setting, both inside and out of the restaurant. Dine and dance in the lush...
