According to John Mariani, guests are well greeted and seated in a 91 seat dining room with bar that has the lighting just about perfect - a cuddly shadowy atmosphere and are served food which is pretty wonderful and delightfully presented.

At SQC (the chef/owners initials, Scott Quentin Campbell) Chef Campbell is at the top of his game, as Bob Lape praised in Crains New York Business. Great food, wine and service in an inviting atmosphere are part of what make Campbells latest venture a popular and critical success.
