    Dinner before a show at the Fox.....server, Deborah, was fantastic....attentive: checked on us several times to be certain we were satisfird. Filet mignon was cooked perfectly, served with oven gold potatoes with plenty of jus for extra flavor. Trout was uneven....two filets: first was perfect according to my wife, second was "off-flavor"; she skipped it. Wedge salad was perfect match for the steak; beet salad was mostly arugula with a few wedges of beet.... chocolate cake dessert was delightful and large enough to share. All in all, we will return for the steak, not so much the trout.

    My wife and I hadn't been to SCK in years. As part of a date night for going to the Fox Theater, we made reservations to enjoy dinner at SCK. The food was excellent, the menu had a wide variety of great options, the flight of Buffalo Trace whiskies were phenomenal, and the great atmosphere was the same as our previous visits. The fried chicken dinner was prepared to a level where it was described as "Best Fried Chicken" in the city. We agreed. We will be returning soon to dine again at SCK during our next visit to the Fox to try some of the other great menu offerings.
