Even with our reservation, and despite arriving 15 minutes early, there was much confusion about, and delay in, seating us. It was doubly odd because the table we had requested was empty the entire time that we were waiting. After we were seated, it took several minutes for our water glasses to be filled, which was done by one of the managers. Then, a few minutes later, the server finally arrived, and things improved dramatically.

Two of my guests ordered ahi tuna entrees. A few minutes later, our server told us the restaurant had sold out and the tuna was unavailable. That was disappointing. We arrived relatively early for lunch and there were less than 20 people at the restaurant. Our waitstaff was prompt, friendly and helpful.

Service was not good at all. I had a 7:45PM reservation & we arrived at 7:35PM. We stood up by the hostess area for over 10 minutes before someone from wait staff came to seat us. I ordered a medium well done steak and it arrived extremely undercooked. Also ordered a latte to drink and when it arrived it was cold!! I also informed the waiter that it was my fiancé’s birthday and he never had the common courtesy to tell her Happy Birthday and suggest a dessert from the menu. Will definitely not be coming back.

This had to be the worst Mahi Mahi, I’ve EVER had……I just hope I don’t get sick! Not only was it freezer burnt, but the color of the fish was GRAY!!!! The Macodamia nuts were sold old, they lost all flavor!! The “Veggies”…were a very small collection of the cheapest veggies you can serve: onions, red bell pepper, 1-snow pea, 1-asparagus tip The server was sweet and nice, the place looked relatively clean.

I haven’t been to one in years and found in my case the food was disappointing. Everything I was served was not quite on its mark. Oysters were tiny, the shrimp and grits had little flavor. It wasn’t bad but could have been better, especially for a high end restaurant that has had a great reputation. The atmosphere, service, etc. all met up to their high standards. No complaints there.

We were a group of 12 - made reservation for 11:30 - got there at 11:25 - was seated at 11:40 - didn't get bread/appetizers for 20 minutes and our food was finally delivered at 12:45 - was not warm - took over an hour to get our food - we office right by this location and have had terrible service every time - which is why we won't be visiting again.

A return diner to McCormick & Schmick's. The facility and location are great. Service was perfect. The food was good, but also disappointing. The Grilled Peaches and Burrata appetizer was nice (the peaches seemed a bit firm). The Ahi Tuna Crudo was disappointing...the foam bed was confusing and the ahi tuna was diced (not a sliced like pictures I Googled before dining) and was off color from ahi tuna I had within the last 2 weeks). The Wagyu Top Sirloin was amazing, along with the truffle frittes. The Spice Rubbed Cedar Roasted Salmon was tasty, but dry. It was served with grilled/fried potato wedges (tasted good), but not the Chilled Ancient Grain Salad advertised. The Grilled Texas Peach Brown Butter Cake was superb. Overall it was a good dining experience, but not what I was accustomed to based on previous visits.

I like this place. I’m surprised how few folks are there. This was my third visit, and like the previous two visits, almost no one is there. Don’t get me wrong, I was pleased to get a reservation only a day before for 7:00 pm on a Saturday (Steak 48, Turners, Friscos we’re all booked), but it was no issue. Or maybe that was an issue. 7:00 on a Saturday, few diners. This large restaurant was mostly empty. The food, service and VIP table were great. Shout out to our waitress, Tiffany. She was great. Odd, as a really packed restaurant can be annoying, but a empty restaurant loses a part of the experience. Perhaps the downtown location but I see other places pippin’. Silly observation as it was still a very nice experience with great company.

This was the worst restaurant experience ever! It’s a 20 minutes to get our drinks and all we had was two strawberry lemonade, and one cocktail. Then it took another hour to get our food. The way to RJ was OK a little too talkative but he was nice. I noticed the manager of the restaurant by the bar several times throughout the throughout the night, but not once. Did I see him interact with any tables. I didn’t bother to complain to management because again he didn’t seem too interested in the table behind me was already complaining about the exact same things. Overall, this is a very poor experience for my last night in Houston. My family and I came here for freshman orientation for my daughter, and to get out of Dallas for a couple of days. Our hotel that Marriott referred us to this restaurant which I had to tell him about the bad referral as well. We spent $300 for a $50 value when you include the bad service we get better service at Chick-fil-A. Sincerely first and last time customer!
