Located in the heart of downtown Philadelphia, directly across from the historic City Hall and on the renowned Avenue of the Arts, McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks brings the freshest seafood dining experience to Philadelphia, PA. Enjoy traditional white tablecloth dining in dark wood-paneled rooms accented by handcrafted stained glass ceilings and mosaic-tiled floors. From fresh seafood and shellfish to Steak and garden fresh salads, our goal is to exceed your dining expectations. As our guest, you will experience culinary excellence at its best. Our menus reflect seafood from the Pacific Rim, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Gulf of Mexico. We also source products from local ranches, farms, and wineries to showcase regionally inspired dishes.
As soon as we entered this restaurant we were shown to a wonderful table in the main dining room. We couldn't get over how spacious the dining room was and how high the ceilings were and we had a nice view of Broad Street. Our server Nikita came over and went over some of the specials. While we were sitting down and enjoying our cocktails we looked over the various items on the menu and finally decided to order the shrimp kisses and the walnut salad for appetizers which were so delicious. We followed that up with the salmon stuffed with crab meat and the Bronzino topped with crab meat which were plated beautifully and tasted so very good. The best part of all quite honestly was our dessert which was a chocolate bag stuffed with white chocolate mousse and various kinds of berries, it was "to die for," literally.
Our server Nikita was super attentive throughout our dinner and accommodated our every request. It was great that the General manager Bob stopped by our table, welcomed us to the restaurant and checked to make sure that everything was going according to plan which it was. In fact, on our way out we ran into Bob again at which point he thanked us again for coming in and made sure that we had really enjoyed our dining experience which we most certainly did.
Thanks to "everyone" for making this a very memorable dining experience before our evening show.

Went to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and everything was on point. Mussels for an appetizer were delicious and the blackened swordfish was awesome as well. The birthday crème brûlée was great for the friend. Great experience.

I took my son and about 15 to 18 guests to celebrate his birthday at McCormick & Schmick’s. Unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing. Our waiter, clearly inexperienced, was left without much support, and it took nearly two hours from our arrival to receive cold food. Despite three dishes being comped, there was no explanation. I spoke with the manager, who admitted it was unacceptable, but no further details were given. I want to note that we were a group of mostly young Black men, and I do feel that the poor treatment and assumptions about us were driven by racial bias—it seemed like the staff had preconceived notions about what they thought we were there for. As a regular, polite guest who always tips well, I was shocked at the lack of care. I hope they can do better.

What happened? It used to have a great reputation but the service was horrible. We sat at the bar, took 10 minutes to get noticed (& only a few people at the bar) we never got our food - they said they don’t see a ticket so we canceled it. It came out later - and they took it away when we said we ordered it 45
Minutes ago…wow. Philly deserves better.

Sat at at the bar ordered drinks & fries. Drinks took 15 min w only 5 others at the bar. 45 min later someone showed up w fries after we had already paid, bc there was "no ticket in" for fries according to bartender. She looks at us and says OK. I will take them away.
Rudest people i have had the misfortune of dealing with in a long time. Welcome to Philly.
