Edienne “Your Favorite Goal Digger” Walker
Every time I visit this location my service is top tier!! My order has always been correct and fresh!! Every server that I’ve encountered was awesome!! I just recently visited on Sunday with a group for an Ordination celebration, we ran over our time limit over an hour! We were never interrupted or rushed away, our service nor servers attitude changed, I was thoroughly impressed on how they handled it! Kudos to all the servers who helped us! Now as for the food, well it truly speaks for itself! You have to just try it!! Every course is worth every dollar! If you like a good drink, I suggest the “old smoky” and if you’re looking for a lighter option, their “lemon drop martinis” are made with love !!🫶🏽

The food and drinks here are amazing. Tonight I ordered the chef's special, the shrimp and crab stuffed salmon. It was succulent and delicious. It was featured with mashed potatoes, but for a nominal charge I added a lobster sauce to go over the potatoes and it was indeed delicious. I ordered my favorite drink, the berry berry mojoto and as always it was marvelous. We started with the bacon wrapped shrimp...... yummy! This place has absolutely great food. Our total bill was $170.00 for two including the tip. I definitely recommend joining the Landrys Select club. You get points for all of your restaurant meals and before you know it you will have a $25.00 discount off of a future meal. Also our waiter was nice and professional.

I want to give a huge shoutout to The Jarvis, manager on duty that assisted me with a birthday dinner for my son!! We had to push over time back bc several ppl were traveling from South Carolina. The atmosphere was very welcoming & I received great reviews on how good the food was. The aesthetics of this establishment were immaculate!! Asia & Aj were assigned to care for our party and handle everything so professional. I highly recommend this teamwork.

Walked in at 5:30 Saturday night. Dining room and bar area 75% empty. Host was pleasant but it took several minutes of him talking out loud to himself to determine where to seat us. Manager and several servers standing around with nothing to do. We offered to just sit at the bar but the host didn’t hear us. At the table service was ok. He didn’t know wines at all, and had to take and retake our order a few times, with follow-up questions after. The bartender brought my pre-dinner cocktail finally and held several choices of condiment in his hand since apparently my reiterations of wanting olives in my martini was unclear. Calamari was light and properly breaded but chewy and overcooked, as well as unseasoned. It had also not been washed before hand, so we picked shell and spine out of our mouths and left most of the appetizer uneaten. The bread came just before entrees—a sourdough seemed—partially sliced and with whipped butter, but it had a strange chemical aroma, so we didn’t eat more than the first bite to taste. I ordered my ribeye medium, and it arrived on the dry side of medium-well. Seasoned properly it would have been delicious if cooked properly. I ordered a Rioja with my steak; and the server had to come back to the table with the menu to ask me to point to what I ordered. I pointed to the one Rioja in the menu. After he brought it warm to the table, he told me they were taught nothing about wine and never allowed to taste. The truffle fries in the side were shoestring, and soft from the truffle butter they were doused in. The broccolini was hard and chewy. Overall, a really disappointing meal for the $150 we spent pre tip. McC & S used to be a 1st rate restaurant, but this was clear evidence of poor preparation and poor training in the front and back of house. We could have eaten a similar quality burger and fries and beer at State Farm arena for close to the same price. Now I know why they were so slow on a Saturday night dinner.

This was my first time coming here and I had an amazing experience! I came in to have dinner with a friend of mine for girls night and it was a nice atmosphere. My waitress Deborah was amazing! She was very helpful with choosing something from the menu. She also recommended the apple pie which was the best I’ve ever had. Her customer service along with the great food has encouraged me to come back soon!

McCormick & Schmick's is a wonderful seafood and steak restaurant. This particular location does a great job with the food and the service. I highly recommend it. We sat in the front part where the bar is located and had a delightful experience.

Food was solid (we had the shrimp alfreddo, caesar salad, and chocolate truffle cake) and service by Quez was excellent! We enjoyed our lunch and appreciate how quickly the food came out!
Sidney Elder
The food was very good. Food presentation was nice. The service was horrible. There were only a few people in the restaurant. It took a long time for our server (Deon) to come to the table. In fact, another server came by after noticing we had been seated awhile to let us know he would get our server for us. Visits from Deon were few and far between. I had to go ask reception to get Deon to bring us the bill. I would not recommend go here due to poor service
