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.

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

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.
