Editorial Review for McCormick & Schmick's – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Upscale and sophisticated, this chain features art deco-inspired trappings such as dark wood, shiny brass and beveled glass. Servers clad in black and white weave through cocktailing couples and businessmen at the bar. The classic American, seasonally inspired seafood menu changes daily; specialties include starters of Dungeness crab cakes and oysters on the half shell, plus entrees like cedar plank-roasted salmon, sauteed lobster with scallops and rock shrimp, and seared yellowfin tuna with wasabi, soy and ginger.

With a great menu selection of fresh fish at a premium price, we were disappointed that the service, quality and presentation did not meet our expectations. We dined on shrimp appetizers that were overcooded, fresh fish entreees that were overcooked, overbuttered and underwhelming. The server was nice and attentive. Maybe it was just a bad night. The ambiance is very nice and is very comfortable.

i got the shrimp and scallop pasta fettucini - it was delicious! there was a great flavor of pepper and parmesean in the fettucini, its definitly not your mediocre sauce. nicely presented, decent portion (i left stuffed) and service was friendly and fast.

Pros: fast

Cons: smoking allowed outside
