Impressed with the Happy Birthday sign on the table, the Happy Birthday on the Menu even! The Service was Excellent with great recommendations on the dinner selections.. blackened salmon with the avocado/pico simply amazing and the Chefs Special Seabass was exquisite, completed by crème Brûlée on a Happy Birthday platter! Cannot wait to visit again.
- TWToshia WallerNov 11, 20255.0Everything was great! Picture doesn't look great but it was delicious! Lobster tail with an added crab cake. Other than being charged for a plate I changed it was awesome. They say they'll credit me....I surely hope so!
- GMGreat value MemezOct 30, 20255.0My son's 15th. Birthday, so we celebrated with a nice dinner with a few friends. McCormick and Schmicks was fantastic. Food was great, service was fantastic, abiance was great. We had a nice dinner and the check was very reasonable. Will be back for the fresh oysters and plank salmon. Calamari was so fresh. If you like seafood, or surf and turf you have to try McCormick and Schmicks, sure too be pleased.
- CSChris SimoniOct 18, 20252.0I had the seafood Alfredo and my wife had the brown sugar crusted salmon. Her salmon was under-cooked but otherwise satisfactory. The seafood Alfredo was a bit of an embarrassment for a supposed seafood and steak house. The Alfredo sauce had a skim milk consistency and very slight in flavor. The scallops were the size of dimes. My expectation at a seafood restaurant is 4-5 large pan-seared scallops. Shrimp were of medium to small size. In total, seafood Alfredo was definitely not the quality of a $30 dish. Service was also sub-par. We allotted an hour and a half for the dinner before our show at the Chicago Theater. When we finished our meal, we waited and waited for our server to reemerge with the check. After 10 minutes, I put my coat on and stood next to my table. After 10 more minutes, I went to the hostess station and told the hostess that we needed to leave. She got us our check and summoned our server. Our server finally came back to ring us out. Overall poor experience.
