    A wonderful Christmas Eve Dinner with selections for each course gave the sense of an individually catered meal. All of our selections were excellent. Service was prompt but not hurried and the server was knowledgeable about the dishes and wine pairings.

    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!

    Absolutely and totally delicious. Our server was wonderful. Kitchen a little bit slow, but we’ve been here before and that’s very unusual. All four of us loved our appetizers and our entrées.

    Overall, our dining experience was very good. The food was excellent. The burrata and toast bruschetta was really delicious. Both entrees, the Scottish Salmon and sweet potato pappardelle were very good and flavorful. The dessert, apple crisp was okay, but the spices used were a bit overwhelming. We will definitely return.
