  The food was a little over priced for the quality but it wasn’t bad, just wasn’t what I was expecting. The service was good, the waitress was nice and accommodating and the restaurant looked basic.

  This place is a mess. Short staffed. They had the manager at the bar trying to figure out drinks? Just guessing how to make there dream scape drink. One coupe sat for 30 minutes noting waiting for sparking water they eventually left.... Then another couple had an enormous hair in her food. Our check was wrong never got my drink but was charged for it (got the drink as we were about to leave) one waitress for 5 table and it was an absolute disaster.

  Was always my favorite place for seafood. Waitress was pleasant, but we were told they were short staffed. When my lobster bisque was placed in front of me I asked for black pepper, never got it. When I received my ahi tuna, I asked for wisabi and got it after I was finished with my meal. Owner Tillman J. Fertitta says "There are no spare customers" Well he just lost two.

  Honestly, the wait is what killed my whole vibe about this place, drinks were great, I was super excited to try this place as I’m new to Philly but I had a reservation at 8pm and didn’t get seated until after 8:30 then waited over an hour before even receiving food. Definitely won’t be back not because of food but long wait times and turn over of food.

  I sincerely hope the leadership team sees this and takes it serious. Let me start this by saying, I can completely understand being busy. Last night, Saturday, me and my buddy were looking for a nice steakhouse. We’ve ate at most of them in Center City so we decided to try one We’ve never tried. We sat at the bar. Camera footage wood probably prove we waited close to 10 minutes before we were even acknowledged with a simple “hello.” This of course after three employees behind the bar shuffled back-and-forth numerous times. 1. When we were ready to order, the gentleman was looking at us, so we figured it was our time to order. My buddy asked, “may we please put an order in?” And the employee puts his hands up waved them down, motioning the signal, “calm down, give me a little bit of time.” 2. When we finally were able to put an order in and received the food, I can tell it would’ve been great. But everything was cold. First time I ate Wagyu sirloin and a New York strip cold to the touch at a steakhouse. Furthermore, both the potatoes and the broccolini were cold as well. The mac & cheese was actually the only warm thing. 3. When we ask for our checks, we did ask to split. The female bartender was visibly upset and bothered. My buddy doesn’t have the greatest eyesight and he picked up both of his seats and asked, which one is the alcohol? She said “it should say right there” and motioned towards the receipt. That didn’t help him, so he shuffled through the receipts, looking at them very closely, because his vision is shot. Not your Bartender’s fault, but with the attitude, and the lack of Customer Service, just made it very unprofessional. Overall, I’m sure you guys are doing fine. You’re at a prime location, with a good name. Could’ve been a one off night for the employees, I’m not sure. Definitely not the type of experience I thought a McCormick and Schmicks is known for. Gave two stars because the drinks and the ambience were great.
