The tall black host repeatedly ignored me while I was waiting at the front for 15+ minutes. He even sat a group down that came 10 minutes after me, making me wait another 10 minutes to receive any attention and he didnt even help me, I had to get help from a different employee who just happened to be walking by. Every employee was looking at me but nobody cared to came over. Horrible service, felt very unwanted and unwelcome

The reason for the two stars are for many reasons. First they brought over the wrong calamari but immediately fixed the situation, but my son and my man said the calamari was greasy. My daughter ordered a medium well done steak and received a medium rare. When I received my food it was a beautiful presentation but it lacked seasoning. The manager was called over and we talked about the Brussels sprouts, that there was absolutely no seasoning on them and he says well we cook them basic with no seasoning. My broccolini was extra hard with minimum seasoning and my crab cakes were wet so I took them home added some seasoning and put them in the oven. I have been wanting to go to this restaurant for a long time so I chose this restaurant while my kids were here visiting and I must say I was truly disappointed.

We stopped for an early dinner before our flight to Portland on Monday. Food was good, service was good, fast and friendly. Manager stopped by to make sure we were taken care of. Need more places like this.

I had an incredible experience at McCormick & Schmick’s! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Our server, Diana, went above and beyond she was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations that made our meal even better. The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked (the salmon was amazing), and the cocktails were spot-on. The atmosphere was classy but relaxed, perfect for both a date night or a nice dinner with friends. I’ll definitely be coming back thanks to Diana and the whole team for such a great evening!

We enjoyed a wonderful evening at McCormicks! Leslie was so kind and welcoming and brought us to our table where Diana took wonderful care of us! She recommended the steak frites for my husband and I had the blacked mahi mahi. Both were absolutely delicious. Diana was sweet and knew exactly what we would love. We will be back to sit in her section to try the mussels next time!
