Restaurants near Downtown Presbyterian Church

Each year at Christmas, we gather for a special family dinner that has become a cherished tradition. This time, when we arrived, we noticed that our friend Marvelous wasn’t working. After texting her, Marvelous made the incredible gesture of driving 45 minutes just to join us and celebrate together. There are many places we could eat, but none offer the experience we share here—it’s not just about the good food, but the meaningful relationships that make it unforgettable.

All I can say is this restaurant is awesome! We loved our experience here and we will definitely be back. The food, service and atmosphere were all better than I hoped it would be for my birthday dinner. My husband got the pork chop and it is delicious get it butterflied, the bed of dirty rice is very tasty. I got the Prime Rib which was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. A vegetable medley served with some entrees. We shared Oysters Rockefeller and creamed spinach.

Food was exceptional. Everything we ordered was delicious. Service needs work. Our waitress did not know to bring each person a small plate to share a chocolate roll. Had to ask for salt and pepper and butter for an english muffin as there was no follow-up to the food being delivered.

This place is a very special dining experience. Nowhere can you find a spot with live jazz and mellow music in the middle of the dining room. This type of thing seems like a bygone era but not at the Scull. Stepping inside is like entering an alternate universe with old brick walls, creaking wood floors and upscale dining in an environment that is unique and beyond explanation. The menu offers many options, and pricing is high, but you are paying for an experience and atmosphere that is priceless. We made a reservation and visited the week before Christmas so the musical entertainers played a variety of holiday songs along with old world favorites from the likes of Frand Sinatra to Johnny Cash. I can't say enough good things about this place other than to say you must go and see for yourself.

Enjoyed the Peloached Pear. Australian Wagyu was delicious and totally worth the price difference from the filet (which my daughter got so we could compare). Brussel sprouts were phenomenal. Chocolate cake isn't too sweet / rich; a good balance. Definitely want to come back to try more items. Cocktails looked great. Music was nice, and the service was great as well.
