Food seasoned to perfection! Ambience is fantastic. Please please notate the “Gluten Free” options clearly on the menu and train your servers and cooks on this topic. For Celiac disease persons , Gluten Free is A Must Have, not a fad. Consider an option to fry the fish, seafood or chicken in a separate dedicated fryer using Gluten Free FLOUR “ with advance notification of this special request 🤔. This would elevate Southern Kitchen to the top of restaurant choices.

Great restaurant. Our server was so nice and efficient. The chef came out and spoke. The manager came out and spoke. Terrific. A little pricey for the portion sizes’. Not a very large brunch menu. The place was clean and beautiful

Everything about our experience at MCK was outstanding! The service was impeccable, and the drinks delicious. The food was top notch. We had the shrimp and pork dumplings and tartare to start. So good! My hubby had the chicken, my daughter the butter poached filet (to die for) and I had the salmon. The sides were so delicious, and the chef recommended wine pairing was spot on. It was 10 out of 10 — we will be back again!

Truly a dining experience, not just a meal. We were seated upstairs in the bar area, our server was very attentive from the time we arrived, around both bar and food service. Knowledgeable about the menu, particularly around pairings (protein with sauce/compound butter, à la carte sides, and wines). Classic with a twist steakhouse menu in a beautiful historic building. Definitely on the favorites list. ❤️

Food and service were great! Noise was deafening, we couldn’t hear our server when she spoke. That’s unacceptable.
