    Amazing value for your money and tasted fresh! The main course did come out somewhat cold but the appetizers were nice and hot. Otherwise definitely great service, taste and ambience. Will be back!

    The food and service were fantastic as always. The lighting was a bit low. It didn’t ruin the experience.

    Brought some friends from out of town to show them an elevated southern cuisine experience and was completely disappointed. The midtown location is in rough shape. The table we were seated at was oddly and uncomfortably placed 1/2 against a corner wall so we were between two rooms. The food was bleh- I had the seasonal peach salad, which was fine. The brick of chicken that was added on top was tough, dry and difficult to cut w the butter knife. Pretty terrible service- the waiter didn’t refills our drinks and water glasses. The waiter was pretty absent and clearly could have cared less. The bill pay app was confusing. Somehow we paid the bill but had a balance leftover. Overall negative experience- won’t be back.

    The formerly-delicious She-Crab Soup was a tasteless gooey mess, unworthy of SCK. The bar could use a champagne on their menu vs the insipid prosecco offered. A long-time customer, last evening was disappointing. Service was superb, however.

    My pork chop came out severely undercooked, raw in the middle. Has to send it back. Did not get a water refill promptly. But Ron our server was very friendly. Peach shortcake was my favorite.

    Good. Don’t sit by door to patio!! Constantly opening and hot air blows in your face. But food service always great.

    This is a great spot. Our waitress was not that great, but when I was leaving, even the manager was serving tables and acknowledged that I was leaving.
