McCormick & Schmick’s

Love me some seafood and McCormick’s has always been one of my favorites. Since the ones closest to me in the L.A. area closed, I’ve been missing McCormick’s and just had to make my way here while staying on the Strip.
I walked in and was greeted very warmly. Sat at the bar and Nicole was there to help. I ordered the stuffed Salmon with veggies and potatoes. The salmon was very good, though not great. I like it cooked a little more than it was. No fault of theirs; I will next time mention that. The veggies and mashed potatoes were excellent.
The place was not crowded whatsoever on this Saturday night, which was a nice relief from all the crowds on the Strip. I enjoyed my meal so much more because of that.
Service was excellent and the atmosphere was fantastic, I will indeed visit here again next time I am in Vegas.

I make sure to stop here for every Vegas trip. Fast friendly service and fresh fish every time! The scallops, ceder planked salmon and filet here are a must try! I like that I can sit at the bar and order dinner when traveling alone. The drink selection is good along with a professional bar tender who was able to hand make bleu cheese olives for my Dads martini! Very impressed when one goes above and beyond! Thank you! Valet service along with someone holding the door for you! The very reason I will return in the future!

My fiancé and I went here to celebrate and were a little disappointed. The menu is fairly expensive, but you can make it more affordable if you choose. We got the shrimp kisses to start. They were great and so were our drinks. However, our server had trouble answering questions about the cuts of steak on the menu. It’s a steak and seafood place. The server should be well educated on steak and seafood. My fiancé’ sirloin tasted way better than my filet mignoin, unfortunately. The restaurant was also very very dark. The server could hardly check our IDs. We are both in our twenties and could see the menu ok, but others were using the flashlight on their phone. Overall, for the price we probably won’t be back.

All my co-​workers and I went here for a (really) belated holiday celebration — our big boss’ treat XD They had all been here before as a group, so it was my first with the group and just in general.
Setting was classy, yet casual. If I had gone alone, I might’ve felt a bit intimidated.
Our server was nice, and checked up on us from time to time. Do have to admit that it was a bit awkward with him trying to promote the Landry’s membership program after everyone told him that none of us were in it.
The food was good. Liked their Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms and the Calamari wasn’t rubbery like other establishments. Good portions for appetizers, but we had to order multiple for as a group of 13. LOL.
Everyone’s dishes looked yummy. Mine was definitely yummy, especially when I got it last. Hahaha… I guess there was a bit of a mix-​up in the order since they had originally brought out an extra Fish & Chips, and I had ordered the Shrimp and Andouille Mac & Cheese. We’ll just brush that off as an «initiation» since I’m the newest member of the staff XD
Dessert was cool. We all shared the Chocolate Boxes and Cheesecake. I honestly did not want to break that Chocolate Box ’cause it was just that pretty.

This place was fine. Nothing too ecstatic to say about it. None of the food wowed me and overall I thought it was just a mediocre experience.
We started with stuffed mushrooms, the mozzarella flatbread and calamari. Do not get the flatbread it is like a burnt tomato flavored cracker with a small bit of toppings and hardly any flavor. We didn’t even finish it between six of us. The calamari was over salted and pretty typical. The stuffed mushrooms were the best of the appetizers we ordered. I ordered the ahi tuna. Like I said earlier, it was fine. The portion was smaller than I was hoping for and it just came with a scoop of plain white rice. There was a spicy slaw though that added some flavor.
My water glass, fork and side plate were all dirty. The food took forever, I think it was half an hour before salads were brought to the table.

Everything was too salty. Everything!
Had lobster bisque that was so thick it was needing a fork and knife.
Ordered spring vegetables — I love fresh veggies — as a side order but instead of fresh veggies, they were boiled to a soggie pulp and then covered with an extremely salty and thick brown meat (?) sauce. Who came up with that?
Even fries were too salty. That’s hard to do because I like salty fries.
Good service. Waitress removed the charge of the veggies when I pointed out how awful the sauce was.

Just had our thanks giving feast here at McCormick and Schmick’s it was wonderful huge portion priced right and the service by our waiter Sean was excellent highly recommend for Thanksgiving and again great service by Sean

Five of us from our training course decided to go here because they had steak and seafood. We got there around 6:30 PM on Wednesday and there was no wait. It is a classy place and reminded me of Ruth Chris, Morton’s or other nice places. What was unique is they put us in a private room which was really nice and allowed us to have some privacy; and we didn’t ask for it.
Our waiter was top of the line and we could not have asked for better service. He was also training another server and he was the one to show her how it is done. They have a full bar and the draught beer selection was not bad (+1). I ordered the swordfish that sat on top of grilled vegetables. It was probably one of the best I have had. My friends had various dishes and raved at the quality and taste. Two of them had steaks which were cooked perfectly.
I go to LV twice a year for this training and like the High Roller, we added this to our list of must do places when we are there. They get a 5 from me… I think I am giving out too many fives.

When we arrived on Friday evening at around 7:30 for dinner, we thought this place would be full judging from the lack of parking and the fact that my friend who’s a local said that McCormick & Schmick’s is sometimes busy. Luckily the hostess invited us to sit anywhere we wished in the bar area as soon as we walked in, either at a table or booth.
I ordered a beer, my friend had a glass of wine and for our meals I ordered the ahi tuna and he the stuffed Atlantic salmon. Complimentary bread and butter were provided at the same time our drinks arrived. Our meals came out in good time, service was friendly and efficient and she suggested that we save room for dessert.
My friend was raving about his stuffed salmon, even after we left this place, so it must’ve been good. It came with vegetables and mashed potatoes and looked as good as he made it sound. While my ahi tuna was good, to be frank, I’d only order this dish if you’re not terribly hungry. It might also be good for 2 people to share as a starter. It comes with a relatively small (perfectly cooked) tuna steak which is cut into slices, and it’s served with a tiny bit of greens, a small mound of rice and pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce.
After our meals our server brought the dessert menu and so many things looked good and were recommended. We both settled on the bread pudding with a slice of ice cream. In reality we could’ve ordered one of those desserts to share, as both of us tapped out before we were able to finish them off.

Excellent steak and lobster. I ordered the steak medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. Service was great, clean environment, and wonderful staff. The lobster bisque was to die for! I highly recommend coming in for steak and seafood.

Getting off the plane from NYC, we are ravaged hungry. Like cranky NY hungry and my first meal off the plane needs to be kick ass.
McCormick & Schmick’s is close. We walk in and the place is packed. Not a problem sir, we have a table for two ready for you. Nice.
We ordered beers and burgers, and french fries are extra? Truffle fries.
They make a good burger at McCormick & Schmick’s. To a starving person? Was the best burger in the world!
This is a nice chain, you won’t be disappointed

My wife and I came to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The lobster bites were a great start to our meal. i ordered the Ultimate Grill Combo. Everything on the plate was wonderful, however, the salmon was very dry. My wife had the petite filet. It appeared to be cooked correctly, however was not as tender as one would expect. The staff was warm and friendly.

Omg. Food, service and atmosphere was wonderful! Great recommendations from the staff and worth every penny spent. You must try their shrimp kisses appetizer. *yuuuuuym*
And if you’re not too sure what to eat, just ask your waiter or waitress. They are very helpful. Would be happy to visit every time I’m in Vegas.

Special date night and we just like to have fun, interact with the staff and enjoy good wine. Unfortunately our waiter was not in the same frame of mind, in fact he ruined the evening for me. (Diners on Aug 20, 15)
Then the food? Not at all up to par. We only picked at our food and left more than half behind. Will not be returning.

What a great experience!
We came here last night for date night and I was a little hesitant because of the less than desirable rating on Unilocal.
My fiancé made a reservation, but when we pulled in around 7PM it was pretty empty so if you want to eat earlier like us you probably don’t even need to make a reservation.
We were greeted and shown to our table then we were introduced to our waitress, Kristin. She took our drink order and gave us some time to look over the menu.
The whole time we were there the atmosphere was so warm and romantic it just felt like being there made me completely forget about all the stress and day to day life. It was a nice retreat!
I ordered the Stuffed Salmon and he ordered The Ultimate Mix Grill. Let’s just say that neither of us were able to make much conversation after our food came because we were so engrossed in our meals! Everything was perfectly cooked and so delicious!
Of course we had to go with the dessert Kristin recommended, the twice baked apple pie with cinnamon ice cream…
So. Good.
It was an amazing night and Kristin made us feel so welcome and taken care of it really made the night that much better! Looking forward to many more romantic date nights here!

Right across from my work in the Hughes center so this had become somewhat of a go to. Good happy hour, nice patio, and very good small bites for said happy hour (flat bread, sliders, calamari) In most other towns this would be a top tier restaurant. Unfortunately in vegas it just has way too much competition.
I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a good meal away from the riff raff of the strip. Given that this was one of the nicest restaurants in my home town, it seems odd saying «save some money and go To McCormick», but it’s true.
Friendly service. Good food. Solid choice.

**BAR AREA ONLY**
This is my first time dining here and we were greeted right away and we decided to sit at the bar.
The ambiance and interior of this place makes me feel like I’m dining in a nice steak & seafood resteraunt back in the days with all the dark oaky wood décor for the walls and tables and booths.
Our bartender was very spiffy and well groomed looking with a tie & vest as uniform which really added on to my thought of «back in the day feel.» Makes you wanna dress up way more than you would normally. Steven let us know about some specials & he also let us know that they were doing a half priced bottles of wine which was AWSOME!
We started off with a bottle of TELEPHONE CLARK PN 12′ which was amazingly good & also an awsome lookin bottle with wax poured over.
Then our bartender offered us some BREAD & BUTTER which was still steaming when he brought it out. *AMAZING* with the whipped butter & I like to add balsamic vinegar
GARLIC FRIES — served with a citrus garlic aioli of some sort and then we took it to the next level and ordered a cup of CLAM CHOWDER & poured it on top of the garlic fries which made an easy poutine for us to munch on.
MARGARITA FLATBREAD — simple & tasty cheese — tomato –basil
LOBSTER MASHED POTATO — yummy chunks of lobster & lobster bisque smothered on top
STEAK & LOBSTER — one of the biggest disappointment which brought this review down to a 3 star having the place be known for their steak and seafood… we had ordered med-​rare tenderloin but it literally came out med-​well to well done… the bigger disappointment is the fact that the medallion pieces were cut so there really should have been no EXCUSE as to why the steak would be overcooked in any way… given the fact that if it wasn’t sliced then you can’t really see the temp of the inside of the steak… but please… tenderloin is literally ONLY tender if med-​rare or medium at most. The steak tasted like it was sitting in the window and drying out to be jerky. On the other half! The LOBSTER tail was perfect! Juicy & not overcooked.
Will definately be back because of our bartender & the lobster maybe if we get a more expensive cut of meat it won’t be overcooked.

This is the first time I’ve ever eaten there that it wasn’t Happy Hour (which is great). It was a very good dining experience. I had the Surf and Turf which was Tenderloin Medallions and Lobster. The Berdelaise Sauce that they marinate the tenderloin in was very tasty and it was cooked perfectly. The lobster was rich and tender. And they served some roasted fingerling potatoes with it. I also had a wedge salad, which was good. And I had a piece of chocolate mousse cake for dessert. It was a great meal. The service was very good. My server was very sweet and attentive. And the restaurant was very clean and inviting. I was very impressed and would definitely go back.

Husband had to work this Christmas day, knowing he didn’t want to come home and cook, and knowing my cooking is not his favorite, he’s a pro and they tend to be hyper critical, so I suggested a reservation and he went for it!
We love this place and for special occasions we love coming here. Tonights menu was no different than some of their previous menus, a couple of chef recommendations, their assorted fish done to perfection as well as their steaks.
We started with the steamed muscles, could not get enough! Crab cake that is solid crab meat and a bowl of lobster bisque and claim chowder! All worthy choices.
I had the barramundi, New Zealands sea bass, it was on top of risotto and smothered with a tomato confit. Cooked perfectly! My husband got the ulimate grill, shrimp two or three ways with scallops. He loved it! For desert, we shared a chocolate slik pie, smooth, rich chocolate with rasberries.
Service good, food good, evening very good!

The first time I ever ate at a McCormick and Schmick’s was in Downtown Portland and I loved it so much that I returned again and again whenever in Portland. Sadly, that McCormick and Schmick’s is now gone and also gone is the high quality at their other restaurants. This restaurant is no exception.
While in LV on business, we stopped in for Happy Hour. Their HH prices are really good, but the food quality is sub-​par. We ordered margherita flatbread pizza, which was pretty bland, rosemary fries, which were a bit on the limp side, calamari which was tender but mostly devoid of flavor, and ahi tuna which was a tiny serving, wasn’t very fresh and was overcooked. The wine was the best part of the experience.
Our waitress was attentive and the atmosphere is ok, but also not very special. The other McCormick and Schmick’s restaurants I have been to have far more character and personality. This restaurant feels very suburban strip mall-​y.
