    Seated promptly by friendly hostess. Waited for an hour to be served. Server would disappear for long intervals. Food was ok. Ordered a second glass of wine which never came. Went to the bar and got it immediately. I don't plan to return.

    Extremely slow. Had to wait a fair bit beyond reservation time to be seated. 45 minutes before the appetizer arrived. Over an hour before entrees arrived and they were extremely overcooked. We missed the start of a show due to the extreme wait. Server was excellent but kitchen was run very poorly.

    This may have been the worst meal I have ever paid for. The drinks took 30 minutes to arrive. The appetizer took 45 minutes to arrive. The meal took an hour and a half and was cold. We noted on our reservation we were headed to a show after the meal and we weren’t sure we were going to have time to eat. It was bad. In addition, when we walked in, we signed in and she forgot to check us in . A 6 pm guest was seated before my party which was reserved for 5:30. They were 2 booths over so it wasn’t a placement issue. We were very disappointed and will most likely not return to McCormick and Schmick in the future.

    Took over 30 minutes to get our bottle of wine. Took another 30 minutes for our salads. Service was very very slow. Food was mediocre.

    If I could give zero stars I would. 5:15 reservation and entrees came out at 6:50, inexcusable. Food wasn’t that good either, and was overpriced to boot. I would have complained but feared they would give me a gift card and I never want to go there ever again.

    The food was amazing, but the service was extremely slow from the point of getting drinks all the way to getting the check.

    This was our first time visiting. Our server was great. The meal did take a lot longer than expected, about 2 hours. Bread came to the table last which was weird. I’m used to getting fresh bread first at places like this.
