    The food and service were excellent. I had the pork chop, which was delicious. I ended the meal with the peach shortcake. It was a perfect blend of sweet and tart

    We arrived with our teen granddaughters. This is their favorite place! And what nice people run SCK! From the front desk - which actually answers the phone and greets with genuine hospitality to the host staff to the server Mario. All were gracious on a busy Sunday. The food is right on delicious. You even called me when I left to tell me I had left my sweater at the table. Thank you for all!

    Great food and great service. Such a professionally run operation. Creative and delicious. Server handled a big table like it was easy as pie. We had her full attention on a busy Saturday night. She missed nothing. Also don’t skip the hand crafted cocktails. Vodka lemonade with thyme was amazing! Can’t wait to come back.

    It had been a while since I’ve dined here. Came again for brunch just because it wasn’t booked and was pleasantly reminded how good the food is. Our server Andrew was nice and very attentive. Will put SCK back in the rotation.
