First step through the door I was greeted by a very kind hostess. We were then greeted by our waiter AJ who was in great spirits creating an unforgettable experience for us on top of the fantastic flavorful food.

The SMALLEST SHRIMP I have ever seen on an Alfredo pasta ever and for $20!!!! 💀 It goes without saying that this pasta was a total disappointment. The service was okay but not exceptional nor fast. My husband had some chicken dish and it was good. Mine was just terrible.

Excellent service, delightful food. Fabulous Jalapeno cocktail. Buffalo steak melted in the mouth, I'll be back when I'm next in D.C. As a visiting Brit, I couldn't ask for a better example of an all American restaurant. Wonderful, highly recommend.

We recently celebrated a friend's birthday at this fine dining-restaurant in Crystal City. Our dining experience was excellent! The food was terrific. The oysters were fresh, the main course was divine, and the desserts were delightful. Our server was fantastic and knowledgeable about the menu, and we loved everything he suggested. We plan to return to try other dishes when we are in the area. We can't wait!

Steve was fantastic with the service and recommendations, especially with the friendliness and attitude/wisdom of the menu. Nick was great too. M&S is always top notch but I liked this one better than the one in Reston (seafood fresher, service faster/better). Thank you! 10/10 A+++

This is my second time visiting this restaurant, the first time was just okay. Second time was excellent due to a server name Breyanna, she was very knowledgeable of the menu and her suggestions were perfect of the menu, and her service was excellent. She made us feel welcomed and the food was very satisfying.

I used my Landry's birthday rewards for this meal. I ordered the Chesapeake shrimp & fries. This was my first time getting this particular meal & it was really good. My waiter was very busy, but kind & attentive.

Super thrilled with the experience that we had this evening at McCormick and Schmidt’s in Arlington. Our waitress, Chanell, Was fantastic and super attentive. She made sure that we had an A+ experience. I had this stuffed salmon and my partner had the Seabass. Both of our entrées were absolutely fantastic! We highly recommend!!
