McCormick & Schmick's Seafood - IrvineCelebrating life's milestonesThis restaurant is a very good place to celebrate with a loved one, or a small group. Perfect for a couple or a small group of friends. We were there to celebrate a 50th birthday. The service is great, the food is yummy, and the ambiance is perfect. They brought out one candle in a piece of cheesecake (no singing) for our birthday boy!!!! It was perfect. They have lots of choices on the menu. So there is something for everyone. The wine list is very good, and the mixed drinks are unique, and tasty. A great place to DINE!!!!6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMGood spot for business lunchesI work in the Irvine Concourse business complex and this is a convenient location for lunch. I LOVE their seared ahi entree, served with sushi rice and seaweed salad. At my most recent visit I tried the almond crusted trout. I really just wanted the butternut squash orzo that was served on the side, but overall the meal was good. Too heavy for lunch in my opinion (basically a pan fried piece of trout served with lemon butter). I'll stick with the ahi next time :)6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a pleasureWe love coming here. The food is consistently cooked to perfection. The seasoning is very traditional, which is a little more difficult to find these days. We had the fresh oysters, which were amazing. We also recommend the Kobe beef carpaccio and the crab tower! Both were beautiful and delicious. For the mains, we had a live Maine lobster, the new age surf and turf, and the Ahi tuna! The only complaint was the rice that complimented the Ahi tuna. It was dry, slightly undercooked, and not seasoned properly. But other than that, everything else was absolutely divine!
The waitress was so kind and attentive. The service here is always great.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMGraduation dinnerThis restaurant takes reservations on a Friday night. We ordered calamari and the jalapenos and veggies was a great mixture. I ordered the Alaskan halibut (delish!), the asparagus was perfect and the mushroom risotto was to die for! The portions are perfect size but pricey. The drinks and creme brûlée was delicious. Our server was very nice and helpful, thanks Chelsea! She also suggested we try their membership program, so we'll be going to another affiliated restaurant in the near future. Overall a great place but a little much for my buck. However it was my graduation so I wanted to splurge! Using open table was easy and there were no problems. They also validate parking.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service, food, wine, cocktailsThe service, food, wine, cocktails were outstanding.
