check out their happy hour during the week and on sundays during football season. happy hour times are early though, i think it ends at 6. but for $3 1/2 lb burger and fries and other $3 $4 and $5 specials, it cant be beat!

I've been to this McCormick and Schmick's twice. Once I was seated upstairs, which was lovely in a booth. But downstairs is huge and very noisy. The food is overall good - only a few bum dishes, but they're still at least adequate. The waitstaff is fantastic; very knowledgeable and professional. Its pricey, but the fresh fish is good (try the Mahi Mahi), and its a much better alternative to Bookbinder's. You'll be treated well, so its worth a try.

It?s sad that so many people did not have a pleasant visit here because I did, and I would CERTAINLY come back!! I guess every restaurant has a ?bad day?, but thankfully, I didn?t run into one. My friends and I went during restaurant week, (a first for me, but the third visit for them). I ordered from the ?regular? menu and the food was DELICIOUS!! Everything was cooked to perfection from the Filet Mignon to the asparagus (which I don?t normally eat). The ?Warm Bread Pudding? was heavenly!! Our server ?Sam? was very attentive and friendly and quick!! Even the manager came to our table to ?check on things? ? AND he was sincere. I don?t usually dine in Center City because of the pricey parking, but it was worth it that day. McCormick & Schmick?s have a customer for life!!

Accompanied my wife here on a Saturday night; she was with a rather large group (probably 30 people total), which could explain some of the service problems...but the menu was fixed (choice of salad, entree & dessert was limited). The food was terrible.
I had eaten at the Seattle location of this chain in June, and both the service and food there were forgettable as well. I'll never go in their doors again.

We decided to try their new location in Cherry Hill, NJ recently after only a week of opening.We arrived 10 minutes early and were told to have a drink at the bar and they would come get us in 10 min. The restaurant was crowded and very noisy. There was no place to check coats. You needed to put them behind your seat or on one of the "hooks" on the posts at the end of the booths. We had a wonderful waitress (Karen) and if ti weren't for her, we probably would've left. Water and bread took 1/2 hr. to arrive. (Where were the bussers)?? After cocktails, we ordered our meal. For appetizers, we had fried calamari, oysters and steamed cockles. The calamari were OK, oysters were terrible and the cockles were great. We were just finishing our appetizers when someone arrived with our 3 entrees. Not knowing where to put them, he took them back and 2 min. later returned with the food. Our entrees of wild sockeye salmon were very dry and tasteless. The mahi mahi was ok.
I can excuse bad service after only a week of opening but unsatisfactory food in not accepted. If you must go, make reservatiions. The wait without one was 1 hr- 1 1/2 hr.
I would NOT return!!!
