What People Are Saying About Mc Cormick & Schmick

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.

Good seafood, nice atmosphere
by joanovarq
I've been to both the Downtown and Beverly Hills locations. Most of the time, the food has been delicious. I enjoy the sourdough bread they serve to start, and their fried calamari is great. They have a wide variety of seafood dishes and the menu changes from time to time. Their lunch specials are reasonably-priced as well. I'd say about 80% of the meals I've had here have been delicious (the rest were just OK), and I've probably been there at least 10 times.
- Pros: Good food, nice atmosphere
- Cons: lack of parking

Reliable HH joint
by candybean
If you work downtown, it's a convenient location to have happy hour with friends who also work in the area. If you go for dinner, the artichoke dip is a yummy appetizer.

VERY SAD...
by wise1too
..that this passes for fine dining and people believe it! Nice atmosphere, good service, great for large groups, etc. But underlying it all truly mediocre food! I can make better food in my non-pro kitchen (and so can you!) and i've never had a cooking lesson! Beware of any restaurant of this calibre that doesn't serve warm bread. Even the deserts fall flat. From start to finsih a poor food experience! The same type of food you'd get at a "rubber chicken" hotel banquet!
