Comments: This has to be one of the worst dining experieces I have had in recent memory. I thought a chain with such a high reputation of great food and atmosphere would provide a better dining experience. The service was very unattentive. We nearly waited 20 minutes before I had to get up and ask for a server, the server never introduced herself, she never brought plates for our appetizer, the bread served felt and tasted like it had been in the refrigerator for several days. Our appetizer was a seared Ahi tuna with Asian slaw for $10.95. You think for that price you would get a few ounces of tuna, not here. It was okay, but we only received a heaping pile of slaw and five small pieces of tuna. The seafood corn chowder was good along with the knife and fork caeser salad. The entrees we had were very bad. The sole encrusted with a parmesan crust was overdone to the piont of being black and the flesh very dry. The mashed potatoes were overly salty and asparagus had seen better days. My mahi mahi was very overcooked. The flesh was very, very dry. They tried to give it an asian spin but failed. It left no lingering taste at all. It was served with rice and a mango salsa, both of which seemed to sit in a heating pan all evening. If you want good seafood do not go here.

Comments: I have dined at McCormick and Schmicks many times, and I have yet to be disappointed. The food has always been incredible. The service is very good, but it can be a little slow. This is where I take all my guests from out of town to dinner. My office had our Holiday party here and everyone loved it.

Comments: I've eaten here on several occasions but will not be going back. The lack of service and the attitude of the management staff has caused me to eat elswhere. It's a real shame the caliber of the service doesn't match the quality of the food!

Comments: Requested oyster stew to be very hot and it arrived warm. The fish and chips were soggy. The fish batter was thick and the fish smelled. My wife enjoyed her fried oysters but cole slaw was warm.
