Such a great restaurant! Food is delicious, service is outstanding. Love that the menu contains items not normally found such as the tasty shrimp & grits, deviled eggs or the hush puppies. Definitely worth an evening out!

DK is a favorite, especially wonderful for special occasions. The many small dining rooms are lovely, fireplaces cozy, and bar bright and lively. Tonight’s dinner was beautifully presented, the flavors wonderful: scallops with shaved Brussels and bacon jam, filet mignon, beet salad, cappuccino chocolate truffle dessert, and as always pop-overs with lemon curd. Service friendly and professional. Top Notch!

We had a lovely birthday dinner for my sister. The staff was friendly and courteous. We had the chicken quesadilla, spinach/artichoke dip, crabcakes, lobster bisque, filet mignon, and lobster rolls. Nice presentation and it was all delicious. Good selection of beer and cocktails. Vibrant atmosphere, children are welcome, and they have a kid's menu. This is my second time here and it won't be my last.
