Offering extraordinarily fresh seafood and tender steaks, McCormick & Schmick’s represents Downtown Cincinnati’s most exceptional dining experience. The restaurant is conveniently located across the street from Fountain Square – a short trip from many of the city’s sporting venues, theatres, and shopping destinations. 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.
Came here for my husbands and mines anniversary. The service was slow. Had to send our steaks back. The 2nd round of steaks weren’t cooked right either. Meat looked old. My husbands 2nd plate had 3 asparagus spears on it when the first had 5. The lobster mashed potatoes didn’t have but a sprinkle of shredded lobster on top. The manager was only going to take 25% off my steak. My husbands 2nd plate had to go through the bill line by line to get 25% off the whole bill. Absolutely appalling. Will not go back. Pretty sad we had to go to Longhorn right after to get a high quality meal. Expensive price definitely does not mean quality at McShmucks. 2 hours of life wasted there.

Food was not good
The the chicken with the mushrooms, goat cheese and tomatoes with mashed potatoes and spinach was all swimming in vinegar spinach juice on the bottom of the plate and the chicken wasn’t even roasted it was boiled white with no seasoning to taste
The bread was dense with a bad taste of yeast
The soda pop Diet Coke was flat
My husband side salad that came with the glazed pork chop had a sour taste
Another table sent there fish and chips back as well
We left and paid for our soda
It’s may look like a 4 star ⭐️ restaurant and or list as a 4 star ⭐️ restaurant BUT THE FOOD IS HORRIBLE
WE SKIPPED THE FOOD TRUCKS ACROSS THE STREET FOR A FINE DINING EXPERIENCE AT A NEVER HEARD OF RESTAURANT JUST TO GO BACK TO THE FOOD TRUCK AND BOUGHT BETTER FOOD

Fantastic food and experience. We had the wagyu carpaccio, filet, and crab stuffed shrimp, along with cocktails and dessert. Olivia was lovely.

McCormick & Schmick’s delivered an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, the service was attentive without being overbearing, and the food was fresh and expertly prepared. Every dish was full of flavor, and you can tell they take pride in quality. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself to a great meal, this is a restaurant that consistently delivers. I’ll definitely be back!

I’ve been dining at McCormick & Schmick’s for years and have always loved the restaurant. Unfortunately, the Cincinnati location is awful. I’ve visited on two separate occasions, and both experiences were disappointing. Prices are high, food quality has noticeably declined, and the kitchen is painfully slow. It appears the restaurant is relying on a reputation built years ago, but the standards that earned that reputation have faded. Sadly, I won’t be returning.
