    This was our first visit to this restaurant. Nothing short of fantastic! We ordered the 6 oz and the 8 oz filet mignons, and they were perfectly prepared. The accompaniments were also of generous portions and also excellent. We shared a lightly-torched creme brulee, which was excellent as well. Our server, Stacey, was well versed in the descriptions of any items we asked about. We were very satisfied with the entire evening and we will be back!

    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!
