Diner Reviews
  • "It works for a business lunch setting. The burnt smell from the kitchen midway through the meal was a little disappointing though. Good seats were still available inside when I ate there on a lovely Tuesday."

  • "I've eaten at several M&S on several occasions but have never had as good an experience as here. The server was perfect. The meal was delicious. Great wine. Thanks!!"

  • "The decor is nice. Would have been a very nice restaurant for a business dinner. Howewer, the service was very strange and disappointing. Maybe the waiter is new and needed to be trained. Waiter did not clear the extra plate setting so there is more room for the appetizers. He forgot to pour water when asked twice. When he did poured water, he only pour it in one glass and ignored the rest of the people. We ordered wine with dinner, he forgot it and when he finally remembered to bring out the wine, it was at the end of the dinner. By that time, we did not want the wine anymore. He did not tell us about the special promotion during the 35th anniversay and Julty 4th weekend. VERY DISAPPOINTING!"

  • "This is not our first time at McCormick & Schmick. I made the reservations online, which is an awesome feature. It was my Husband"s 55th birthday, he received a special menu wishing him happy 55th, and a free unbelievably chocolate desert, which was too chocolate for me, but still delicious, all in all a very pleasant and nice evening."

  • "We went to the restaurant on Wacker where the manager is Jimmy Park and the service was horrible. My husband's food was cold and the server was missing in action almost the entire time. Not to mention it was not even a busy evening and it was my husband's birthday, so we were celebrating a special occasion. The manager was very nonchalant with our complaint although he gave us a discount. We did not have to spend our time and money there. I experience upscale restaurants all the time and this one will be taken off my list. We will not be going back!"
    Dined on 7/4/2014
  • "Our dinner was very good. We ordered a salad and any place that we have dined at in the past when we say we will split the salad it always has come to the table split for us. We were shocked that we had to do it at the table our selves. Drinks were good and entree's."
    Dined on 6/27/2014
  • "After being seated, our waitress came and took our beverage order. I ordered a soft drink and a water. She returned with my soft drink, but no water. She then took our food order. After our food arrived we noticed that we had no napkins or silverware, but since our waitress never came to check on us, after 5-7 minutes I had to get up and walk over to the hostess and request utensils. Forgive me, our waitress DID check on us ONCE during our meal. But she didnt actually stop at our table. She simply asked how we were doing WHILE CONTINUING TO WALK PAST US. If I had a request at that time I would've had to yell to get her attention. Despite our waitress, we enjoyed the food. If I return here, I'll hope for better service."

  • "Good time & good food Portions are a little small for the price for both the steak (oscar) and the fish (oscar addition) I reaLIZE THIS IS A CORPORATE RESTAURANT Drinks and wine selections are very good"
    Dined on 6/15/2014
  • "I've eaten dinner here twice in the last month and enjoyed the experience both times. Very good well prepared food served by friendly experienced wait staff. The desserts are excellent and the wine selection is very good and not outrageously priced. I will eat here again."

  • "We went to mcCormick & Schmicks for our Anniversary, Dinner was outstanding. We started with the shrimp kisses, I had pan seared scallops with mushroom orzo.very very good,my husband had pan seared halibut. Everything was just wonderful.we will definetly go back. we stopped in one day by accident waiting for a show to start at Chicago Theater. that time i had the lobster bisque soup it was the best i ever had."
    Dined on 6/21/2014
  • "We went for happy hour and it wasn't even as busy as we were expecting. The waiter was very nice, but extremely slow, and was not able to remember our orders, but did not write them down."
    Dined on 6/20/2014
  • "We had dinner here last Saturday (6/21) and I was rather disappointed. I ordered the lobster salad, 2 others ordered fish and chips and a 4th in our party ordered a salad and the margarita flatbread. I also ordered an entree "to go" and the waiter delivered much earlier than our departure. My salad had an appallingly small amount of lobster meat, and otherwise looked like a cobb salad you can get anywhere, all for $23. The fish and chips entrees looked like something you would get at a Denny's-type restaurant...very pedestrian. The flatbread was not particularly tasty (I had a piece) and was not worth ordering. The bread served at the table was a tasteless sourdough and certainly below standard. Bottom line: Skip It!"

  • "We had a very nice waitress and the food was wonderful."
    Dined on 6/20/2014
  • "Bad food and service. Definitely tastes like a chain restaurant."
    Dined on 6/20/2014
  • "Lobster bisque was great and the scallops were good too but both the steaks we ordered were tasteless and all the way cooked through even though we had ordered it to be medium rare."
    Dined on 6/20/2014
  • "nothing special about this place - i've been here a couple of times - the food is okay but is overpriced. drinks are great."
    Dined on 5/7/2014
  • "Food tasted good, unfortunately the prices were too high for the food offered. My drink arrived in a dirty glass with food stuck to the side of it. The entree came with a side of mashed potatoes that were at best fair."
    Dined on 6/17/2014
  • "My party arrived early, and was taken direct to table. Ambience was very nice, and being early suited us - it was pretty quiet! Service was attentive and prompt. food was well presented and tasty!"

  • "Highly recommend McCormick & Schmick's restuarant for great seafood and service!"
    Dined on 6/13/2014
  • "Great food, great service. Exactly what we were looking for, a nice dinner before the show."
    Dined on 6/13/2014
  • "We sat outside. It was crowded, but not overwhelmingly so. It was 20 minutes before we even saw our waitress and 10 more minutes for a drink. The manager arrived to "help" and, while offering a ridiculous apology, our apps and salad both finally arrived at the same time, which didn't faze her. There was no bus service and our dirty plates say our on table. When the food arrived, the waitress asked if we needed new silverware. I suppose that would be acceptable at Red Lobster, but when I order a $40 fish entree at a higher end restaurant, don't ask. Just bring me new silverware. Food was decent and it was great to sit outside, but we will unfortunately cross this one off our list forever-- at least this location."
    Dined on 6/12/2014
  • "Great food but service was sub par. We received our main course before our soup/salads and then never received our soup/salads. The waiter did give us a few free desserts but still was not impressed by the service"
    Dined on 6/12/2014
  • "Business dinner in this most established restaurant. Can't go wrong selecting M&S, especially if you know them from other locations. Wide variety of food and drink in a very dignified manner."
    Dined on 6/9/2014
  • "While the food was tasty enough , the place was understaffed. It took a long time to get waited on. When, after a longer than acceptable time, the food arrived, we were on our own. We were asked if we wanted pepper, but the waiter didn't have the pepper grinder with him, and never returned with it. Not really like having an attentive waiter."
    Dined on 6/5/2014
  • "Lovely relaxing dinner with great service. Great steaks and we loved the Brie mashed potatoes. Just a short walk from the Chicago theater, our destination for the evening. "
    Dined on 6/7/2014
  • "A group of five of us booked the same day for a Friday night dinner. The maincourse seafood was delicious (blackened whitefish and house special swordfish). The appetizers were suitable for sharing. Deep fried calamari appetizer was generic and not distinctive. Soft shell crab appetizer was new for us and was good. The crab cake appetizer was very good. Good value for money. We would recommend this restaurant."
    Dined on 6/6/2014
  • "although server was very pleasant, service was very slow...had to cancel dessert as it was served significantly after receiving cappuccino, which was served significantly after placing order...restaurant was not crowded...most of servers were standing clustered...wait time for all parts of my meal was longer than expected...this was longer than I ever experienced when dining at McCormick & Schick...was very disappointed..."
    Dined on 6/6/2014
  • "food was good but a bit too salty (I had scallops)"
    Dined on 5/29/2014
  • "The food was very, very good and the manager coming over to the table to check on me enhanced the already great dining experience!! I look forward to returning to the restaurant. "
    Dined on 5/31/2014
  • "Have visited this restaurant in the past and enjoyed the experience. This time we saw the waiter when he took our order and then not again until the bill was brought. Commented on the food not being up to the standard of previous visits and although polite, he was totally unconcerned. Not on our list for our yearly visits anymore. "
    Dined on 5/23/2014
  • "Sold us on a diners card the waiter said had no fee then added $25 to our bill!"
    Dined on 5/30/2014
  • " M & S is a decent alternative for lunch in the Loop or a pre-theater dinner. Food is overprice, but probably on par with the other restaurant choices in the area. Here you will find white table cloth prices with chain restaurant food. As long as you know what you will be getting when you make your reservation, you will not be disappointed. "

  • "Wonderful romantic lunch with wife during middle if the day. Nice lunch prices and menu make this downtown gem very affordable. Was welcomed by staff and catered to by all including manager."
    Dined on 5/29/2014
  • "This restaurant was disappointing. Service was very slow. My appetizer was lukewarm as though it had been sitting in the kitchen for some time. Following another long wait...our main courses arrived. My chef's special dish of blackened fish was overcooked and incredibly salty. When we asked for our bill we received someone else's visa card by mistake. When I told the manager about our experience she said that we should have complained sooner! She did take the cost of my entree off the bill as it was so salty but said this is typical for "blackened" fish! Having made this dish myself many times...I know this is not the case. We heard another diner complain about excessively long wait times. Would NOT recommend this restaurant."

  • "First time dining at McCormick & Schmick's and it was a wonderful experience! We try to visit different restaurants after Joffrey Ballet, Chicago Symphony, or in this case.......Motown, however I know we will return to this restaurant again."

  • "I often dine at McCormick and Schmick's - the menu is familiar and I can always rely on a tasty and satisfying meal."
    Dined on 5/26/2014
  • "I had read several reviews about the restaurant and they talked about how bad the service had been. Our server was very attentive. However the restaurant was very slow while we were there. The food was okay. Nothing special. The Mahi Mahi dish was good. The steak was not great. "

  • "The restaurant has changed; I used to be a BIG fan...but now.....not so. why? Music has morph'd to soft disco. Booths artwork is now mod art. Booth bench is gone...now 2 seats.....daily fresh menu not presented...guess it has been done away with...showing my Landry's card to the waiter elicited 'oh...show me when you are paying'......it used to be that was a signal for the manager to come over and mingle...sometimes present an appetiser...not so now....after paying the manager did appear and ask how was everything...I answered 'good'. All that made M&S special.....has been removed. Not special anymore. "
