    We hadn’t been to the Old Vinings Inn in a decade or two and I’m so glad we came back! The food was delicious!!! Crab cake was awesome. Vegetable pasta with added protein was great. And our service with Leer (sp?) was wonderful. He was perfectly attentive without being overbearing and he made a great recommendations. The outside looks like a fire trap but the inside (we sat on the indoor sun porch) was updated and very nice.

    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.
