MCK Restaurant and Bar

The duck tacos were inspiring, however, I would have liked a textured element, for example, adding Julienne pickled carrots or leeks would add a flavorful crunch and would have also balanced the sweetness of the tacos.
Lastly, the cilantro overpowered the other ingredients, leaving a strong aftertaste.
The short ribs were tender and sweet.
The risotto was also flavorful and creamy, unfortunately, the ribs and risotto were served at room temperature. The atmosphere was inviting, with the music and lighting perfect.
This is not considered a jeans and T-shirt restaurant.
The service was exceptional, it had etiquette.
I liked the hot warm towel before they served you.
The server was friendly, had a great smile, and was knowledgeable about the menu.
I feel this is a great restaurant to dine or sit at the bar to have drinks and socialize.
Your car is valeted, and they have a shuttle take you to your car, which is a nice complement (but not free) asset of the restaurant.
Our car was about half a block away, parked in a safe lighted area.
Overall, I would visit again but will respectfully ask for the meal to be served hot.

A lot of women come here for a girls night, but it's a great dining option for date night as well.
I came for a different event, but the vibes are definitely sexy.
First, I appreciate them being open later into the nighttime.
That gives them such a value in the Atlanta dining scene.
Valet was seamless, and on a Wednesday night was a simple $10 charge(pay however you'd like).
The service was top-notch, with our server having great food & drink recommendations.
She started us off with hot towels to sanitize our hands, which was a nice touch.
For drinks, I had a French 72 & the Side Piece.
Both were mixed very well.
For food, I chose to go tapas this time, as I got the calamari, chicken croquettes, and the pulled duck confit tacos.
Everything was amazing.
The food on the tapas portion of the menu came out incredibly quick, which was also a plus.
Didn't do dessert, but I'll be back for that and to have more of this menu!

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.
