"I went back for the first time in about 6 years to use a birthday reward and was pleasantly surprised that quality was still fantastic. Well I hadn't been in since my son was born, and now that he's in school, my wife and I decided to go back while he was in school and use my $25 birthday reward. I have always enjoyed McCormick and Schmick's in the past, and they didn't disappoint on this recent visit. Yes, they are a little more expensive than your average American food restaurant, $11 for a cup of lobster bisque sounds steep. However, the ingredients are top notch, and you get a nice amount of lobster meat. They even serve it with the lobster meat in one cup and the bisque in another so you can see how much meat you are getting, then pour them together for you. The clam chowder is obviously much less expensive but still absolutely delicious. The fish tacos were actually reasonably priced and were two large meaty, flavorful tacos. The American wagu burger is fantastic. The filet mignon and lobster are, of course, one of the priciest combos, but it is really good. Even the bread and butter served with the soup are great. If I had to find something to complain about, I'd say the french fries that came with the fish tacos were just OK. Otherwise, everything was really high quality. I will definitely be back sooner than 6 years this time. Thanks for a delicious birthday lunch."
