A word from Harborside by McCormick and Schmick's

This beautiful restaurant located on Lake Union offers spectacular waterfront views and contemporary Northwest cuisine with a dedication to seasonality and sustainability. Harborside’s two levels provide versatile dining experiences throughout lunch and dinner. The more casual bistro and bar… downstairs offers lunch and dinner menus featuring artisanal twists on crave-able classics and an energized happy hour. In the upstairs dining room, guests will find more refined menus focusing on fresh, sustainable seafood and the Northwest's bounty. From the upstairs wine bar, an extensive list of Northwest wines encourages exploration, and the featured wine preservation system allows for glass tastes of highly coveted wines. A special Chef’s Table will provide a unique opportunity for up to 10 guests to dine with Executive Chef Peter Birk as he leads them on a wine-paired culinary journey customized for your tastes and preferences.Continued

"I had the grilled trout special. The trout was grilled perfectly and the sides were an awesome complement, grilled asparagus & mashed Yukon golds. My sensuous felt as if I was back in Idaho on the lower fork of the Payette River, grilling the day's catch over a fire, with my brother Jimmy & our grandparents. Thanks for the memory!"

"We went for lunch during Seattle restaurant week. The menu was a little lacking; but the food was solid. Nothing to blow me away. Service was slightly slow, which would not be a problem at dinner, but most lunch diners have to get back to a job."

"This was our second easter brunch at Harborside - and we weren't disappointed. Once again, the selections were numerous and very well prepared. We were not rushed at all and felt they truly cared about our dining experience. Seafood was awesome, and for those who don't care for seafood, there is plenty of other dishes to go around. If I had one "complaint" it would be the extra charge for drinks. I had water, but tea, coffee, sodas, all were extra charges we did not expect."

"I always enjoy dining at the Harborside, but this time was beyond enjoyable. I ordered the Chef's Recommendation, which was perfectly grilled Halibut with a tomato ragout and perfectly cooked vegetables. And, to round out the meal, I had the Apple Crumble for dessert. The food was out of this world delicious. David, the maitre'd was his usual urbane and delightful self. And the new decor is elegant."

"Nothing really note worthy about this location or visit. We liked the scenic view. We didn't have bad service, or bad food, it was just OK.

Our waitperson was nice, but seemed distracted with closing down her section. My wife and I both had a pasta dish that was average. The crowd seemed like mostly local business people enjoying happy hour. No music in the background diminished the ambiance a little."
