Mccormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks

The place is quite large, soft light, cozy, feels more crowded than it is. We got a booth by the window, great. Service with Colby was great, we were appreciative he worked on Christmas day. The salad was fresh and tasty, medium size, barely enough to share. I asked about the salmon but they only cook it medium or medium well, so I went for the cobia, white fish. The dish as a whole, with the greens and the golden beets was tasty, although the fish was a bit overdone, a bit dry, it needed the other elements. My partner has the parmesan flounder, tasty although it did have a couple of spots of 'fishiness'. It came with delicious mashed potatoes and brocolini, a bit crunchy. We want to come back again on a regular day.

Naj and I celebrated 6 years of marriage on December 8th and my birthday was December 9th, so we celebrated both wonderful days on Saturday the 9th. After watching a James Hood's, "Beautifica" at the IMAX Dome theater at Discovery Place Science Charlotte, we went to eat at McCormick and Schmick's where we had a reservation. The hostess greeted us with a warm smile and we did not wait long for us to be seated. The environment was beautiful with low lights and the noise level was average. Although the tables were very close, it was not too loud and we were able to hear each other closely. Our waiter was very friendly and took our order effortlessly. On our menus were written, "Happy 54th birthday Karlene and Happy Anniversary! That was a wonderful surprise!! Naj ordered the Miso Black Cod with a side of mushrooms and I had the crab and shrimp stuffed salmon, I had an old fashioned drink and Nag had a mule. The food was very tasty, we ate everything that was in the plate. We had a surprise at the end for my birthday, which was a Crème Burlee topped with fresh berries on the house. It was a magical night.

My husband and I had just celebrated our anniversary and we had just came into town for the game. We ran across this restaurant which requires reservations. However, we didn’t make any because we didn’t know but they got us a table within 10 minutes. When we were seated, we were a little uncomfortable because we were seated right next to a group of girls, who were a little to loud for my liking. I wish I could remember her name but I express my concerns to, who was the hostess at the time, and she moved us right away. Not only did she move us, but she gave us the private booth with the curtain. It was perfect for our celebration. The food and drinks were made to perfection and the waiter was awesome! Just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Well I have always wanted to try this place. I have eaten in some of the best steak houses in the US. This did not disappoint. Brad, the manager, took care of us from the start. Danny the bartender. Melvin seated us, and Gabriella was the waitress. Could not have written a better script. We started with fried oysters, ahi tuna, and Shrimp kisses. Just wow. Then we tried fried lobster and we all ordered filet / rib eye with lobster mashed potatoes and asparagus, excellent fine dining. The deserts were apple cinnamon upside down pecan pie, creme Brule, and pumpkin spice cheese cake with a peanut drizzle. Again terrific. A must place to go
