Reviews for McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks in Portland, OR

Very nice! Outdoor seating on the waterfront. Took awhile to get our food due to staff shortage but everything was delicious!... Perfect for date night or after work happy hour! Read more

There's a lot of people walking by and so the staff have to decipher who is actually wanting to be seated and eat at the... restaurant there. The staff were very attentive and I got a seat very quickly. The view from the outdoor table could not bebeat, open air, cool breeze, not right next to or in the middle of a parking lot. Lots of nature. Very good vibes. The foodwas great but do expect to pay a little bit more than average here, but hey that is okay every once in a while! :-) The staffwere helpful and friendly, and there was no Top Forty music in the background. Quality experience with out many of the modernannoyances. I would recommend this place greatly. Read more

Placed reservation online. Received a text msg asking for confirmation of attendance and a phone call to confirm... attendance. Member of my party checked in before time and advised I'd get a text msg. When it got to be a few minutes past thetime reserved, I approached the front desk. Was advised it would be a few more minutes. We had a 2 yr old with us and needed ahigh chair. We were seated un the upper level with another family who had one child. Other table stayed emptied while we werethere. Restaurant ran out of lobster bisque. Times between each meal delivery and drink delivery was lengthy due to shortness instaff. Our waiter was friendly and responsive. Shrimp kisses was delicious and cooked perfectly. Salad that was a part of theprix fixe menu was rather large but everyone enjoyed it. I ordered the herb grilled chicken; green beans were good perfectly butthe mashed potatoes and chicken were average and not much flavor to either item. Lobster in the scampi dish was overcooked butthe shrimp was cooked well. We knew based on the length of time of food and drink being served, we needed to place our dessertorders while we were still eating our entrees. Upside down apple pie with ice cream was delicious for the parts we could eat asthe ice cream was half way melted when served and portions of the crust were burnt. Location overlooking the marina wasnice. For the price point and reputation, I had expected more in terms of service and food quality. Read more

Um hands down the best margarita I've ever had. Food is always fresh and flavorful. Our waiter was spot on with his suggestions.... Love this place! Read more

I've had a lot of steak, filet mignon specifically, all over the country... This was hands down the best steak of my life! It... just melts as soon as it hits your tongue. The service (Karen was our waitress), wine, and dessert were excellent as well. Don'tmiss this place if you're in the area! Highly recommend! Read more

Met a few friends for dinner. We started with a couple of appetizers – calamari and shrimp kisses (Pepper Jack Cheese / Bacon... Wrapped). We all had various fish dishes – cedar roasted Atlantic salmon, fish & chips, Pacific rockfish, Jameson IrishWhiskey Roasted Salmon (Chef’s choice). A good tip is to ask where the fish originated. The roasted Atlantic salmon wasn’tfarmed salmon like the Chef’s choice). Both salmon dishes were cooked to perfection (not dry). If you enjoy seafood, this isthe place to go for fresh and tasty seafood dishes. We were too full to order dessert. Service was friendly and attentive.Parking could be a challenge on the street but there are parkades nearby. Read more

Great ambiance, friendly, attentive and professional staff. The shrimp cocktail was among the best I've ever had. The Cedar... Roasted Atlantic Salmon was okay. It needed a little more flavor and was slightly over cooked. The Roasted vegetables thataccompanied the salmon were great. My ffiance said the dry rubbed black Angus Ribeye Steak was really good as was the ShrimpScampi. The mashed potatoes were bland. The Chocolate Mousse Cake (the presentation was beautiful) and Creme Brulee wereawesome. Overall, it was good and reasonably priced. Read more

This restaurant has very good atmosphere with stadium seating so everyone has a beautiful view of the harbor. We went for... Thanksgiving lunch (with reservations) and the food was amazing. They did offer a traditional turkey dinner, but both of us hadthe fish instead. Definitely consider this spot for holiday gatherings. Read more
