Nice Friday night chill spot. Popped in for drinks and a vibe. The calamari was good; the drinks were better. We had a table but my folks wanted to socialize. I’d recommend sitting at the bar for that. I wish they played some smooth sexy music to add to the vibe. I recommend this spot!

Black owned & service is top tier from the security to the host to waitress everyone is kind & friendly the food is 10/10 the short rib the best I had in the city and the lobster bites is delicious
I was not expecting to enjoy myself as much as I did, but the service and the food were phenomenal. I'll be back! Reservations: We had a party of 2 and made a reservation. We went at opening on a Wednesday night, so it wasn't too busy. But if you're going on the weekend and/or with a big group - highly recommend a reservation. Parking: There is valet or self-parking available. Each is $10. My friend and I parked across the street in the Marshall parking center for free. Food: The food was AMAZING. We ordered 5 dishes in total and it was the perfect amount for us to split. We left completely satisfied. We ordered the charred broccolini; the grilled shrimp; the duck confit tacos; the patatas bravas; and the bread pudding. Drinks: They have a variety of wines and cocktails available. They only have one non-alcoholic/mocktail on the menu. Water is $10, so keep that in mind before asking for water. I ordered the Basil Baby and my friend ordered the Not What You Think. We both enjoyed our drinks! Vibe: Aside from the parking and water pricing, I loved everything about this spot. It's a lot bigger than expected once you step inside and the staff takes care of you from beginning to end. Everyone is checking in on you, clearing the table, asking if you need anything, etc. AND at the beginning of your meal, they bring you heated towels for you to wipe your hands. How fancy!

Overall the food was a delight. The ambiance is noteworthy. It's literally the perfect place to have dinner after a long day. My only issue was with our server. He was a bit persistent, he kept coming by every 5 minutes asking if we were okay and if we wanted more food. Even after repeatedly saying no, he kept coming by. This must change. Again, I enjoyed my experience and hope to come back. 3.5/5

The food was just ok. I was expecting true Cajun food and that was not what we received.

Stopped in here for my NYE dinner to end 2023 the right way and I couldn't have been more pleased! From the valet parking outside to the quick seating the hostess, everything was great! The ambiance inside was beautiful, white table cloths, low lighting, and beautiful decor. Once we were seated, we were greeted by our servers who informed us we would be have two of them to help assist with our needs, and they brought us warm towels to clean our hands before we started ordering. We both ordered a speciality cocktail; the basil baby & thyme 4 that. We ordered a variety of tapas and even tried the speciality fried corn soup and everything was delicious! I can't wait for my next visit! GOOD EATS: Fried Corn Soup of the Day, Calamari with jalapeno aioli, Lobster Bites with Spicy Tartar Sauce, Papas Bravas, Pulled Duck Confit Tacos, Braised Short Rib, Dessert Donuts GOOD COCKTAILS: The Basil Baby, Thyme 4 That

My friends and I visited MCK last night and had the pleasure of being taken care of by Alex (look for the tattoos). The service was spectacular. The entire staff was friendly but Alex took the time to give us recommendations on favorited drinks and tapas, which all were amazing! During our meal we were greeted by one of the owners, Mitch, he made sure we were pleased with our meals and that we were well taken care of. My friends and I will be returning often!
I'm giving 3 stars only because of price and serving portions. I must say the food is delicious and out of this world. I had the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and was very pleased. 5 star taste quality for sure. And the service and speediness was also impressive. Lastly, the beauty and decor of the place is phenomenal. My only issue is the small serving sizes and crazy prices, not to mention the 20% required tip if you come as a group. Otherwise, I would return.

Sean Black is amazing! I came here to celebrate my birthday with friends tonight. Even as our party size fluctuated (aka more people showed up), he accommodated us and made sure that we had a great time, and I even got a birthday serenade to make my birthday complete!

The overall ambience was nice, although it was a bit loud. Our waitress was attentive and for a large group we were all still able to pay separately which was nice. The Calamari, short rib, and broccolini were well cooked and tasty. Definitely a nice spot for a girls night out or even a date night. We Ubered so didn't have to worry about parking but a portion of our group had to park elsewhere but they did have a shuttle to take you to your car. It was a Friday night so it was kinda packed.
The lobster bites, brazino, and salmon and grits were great. The service was really great and I love the warm towels that are brought to the table to clean your hands. My drink (coconut rum / key lime pie flavor) was good, it's sweet. The only portion that needs a bit of logistical work is the parking situation. It's $10 and the wait is a bit to get to the car. I recommend just using ride share services. I plan to go back.
