"We came to MS last year for mothers' day to the same restaurant. We terribly disappointed. The fish was dry and very little edible portions. Very small portions. We NEVER return to another M&S."

"It was way to hot inside the restaurant. It truly felt like we were outside in the heat. The waitress was great. The only bad thing about the food was that things were left off of our meals that were on the menu. I got the Mother's Day special with salmon that said it came with spinach one of the reasons I got it. When it came it had no spinach. My sister got the bananas foster French toast that was supposed to have candied walnuts which it did not have. My husband is a chef and I know things can happen on busy days but to be honest it didn't look that busy to gave run out of staples like spinach. Also with how hot it was in there my 3 month old baby was sweating buckets which I felt terrible about"

"For a Mother's Day, the menu was very mediocre, the food was average and the prices were high for what we received. It seems this restaurant has deteriorated since we last ate here. Is this a restaurant in transition? Next year we will choose another spot to take our mothers."

"A chain restaurant, how can you go wrong? Well the menu is all the same, but the way it is cooked and delivered is not.
Unfortunately the chefs at McCormick's in Pasadena have a lot of work to do to gain my confidence in them.
I order the coconut shrimp appetizer, and it was delivered to the table burnt (obvious to anyone!), yet they served it anyway. When the dish was redelivered, it appeared to be served on the same plate with the same garnish from the original order. Our waiter summoned the manager who insisted that was not the case. He seemed defensive that I would question him about it.
This was to be a special Mother's Day brunch with my truly wonderful mother- however it was disappointing..
Happy dining to all."

"Mother's Day email comes offering Truffles for all moms. Not only were these not provided, but we had to ask for bread (which was cold) and water was scarce. Given the bump in prices, one might expect better service. Given the choices out there, we will not be coming back..."

"I've had oysters here a few times during a buck a shuck happy hr on Wednesdays and thought that my family would enjoy this Mother's Day there but boy was I disappointed! Not only was the air conditioning down on one of the hottest days but to find out that it had been down for a week! Restaurants should call their customers to let them know the situation but instead they let us come into an environment that was so uncomfortably hot.Especially for a seafood restaurant. I wanted to keep an open mind about the food but I was served a sea bass that was so strong in ammonia scent even my 6 year old smelled it first! Luckily the oysters were good but overall it was a very disappointing experience and I'm not sure if we would ever go back."

"This was our first visit to this Greene and Greene styled restaurant and we were very pleased. We were given a window booth and had a lovely view of the courtyard and fountains. The starter, Shrimp Kisses, was different and delicious as was the Almond Cookie Basket dessert. Both entrees were very good---a seafood platter for him and mahi mahi for me, tho his salmon could have been cooked a bit more (it was not listed as "seared"). The crab potato hash served with the mahi mahi was outstanding but the corn bisque was disappointing. I thought it would be a small bowl of soup but it was part of the plate decoration. Very nicely presented--and very tasty, just not what I expected! We did certainly enjoy our evening."

"Three to four years ago, I would have no problem entertaining clients at McCormick's....reasonable prices and good value given the attentive service, food, and atmosphere. However, my recent experiences the past two years have been hit and miss. Somehow, it doesn't seem like they can get everything…menu, pricing, atmosphere, and service…right at the same time (especially after the bread debacle). On this visit, the table that was seated after us was served first and they finished eating shortly after our main course arrived. I can't really say whether the kitchen was slow or server was not attentive. The focus on lunch was not business but the poor experience. I was not the host, but I will think twice before I entertain clients here."

"We hadn't been to McCormick & Schmick's for at least three years. The Hostess was pleasant and courteous. We arrived early and the rest of our party arrived late. We were seated to wait (our choice, after being asked). The waiter asked if we would like drinks, brought bread and we were supplied with water by his helper. The waiter was the best we had seen in years, quiet, courteous, attentive, pleasant and other adjectives, which I'm sure would fit. The food, as remembered, was just right.
Overall it was nice to return to McCormick & Schmick's Pasadena."

"My twin daughters chose McCormick & Schmick's for their 18th Birthday dinner. Wanting to make it extra special i arrived an hour early to decorate the table and not only was the staff okay with this, several offered to help. Three dozen balloons...and streamers...and confetti...the works.
Our server even brought my very particular Mother a glass of water that was "not too cold and not too hot" and a large pitcher of room temperature water for the 4 betta fish bowls we used as decor/gifts. Thats right betta fish...
She also brought me a glass of wine which after raising twin girls to adulthood I very much appreciated."

"We've always had a great time when we've eaten at Mc & S'in Pasadena. But we were so disappointed for Easter Sunday brunch. Although we had reservations, we still had to wait a good 20 minutes. In the lobby, there was a poster advertising the spring menu (included Chilean Sea bass) but it wasn't on the menu. We had the waiter check w/the chef, but the fish was still frozen & wouldn't be ready to be served. But the most disappointing was the service (or lack thereof) from our waiter, Frank. He consistently paid attn to a table of 4 & ignored our booth of 4. It got so bad that my boyfriend went to speak to him privately. We realize it was Easter but they weren't THAT busy that service would be jeopardized. Very disappointing."

"Was a little disappointed for Easter. Didn't realize it was going to be a normal menu. Add made it sound like it was an Easter brunch. Perhaps I meant buffet. Champagne at our brunches is important. Was disappointed that we had to buy our own bottle. On the noise meter we couldn't say that it was actually too loud to hear each other. Sorry about that but do wish it was a little quieter."

"Don’t expect anything for your special celebration at this restaurant! I made the reservation through OpenTable and specified that my wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary, thought that at a minimum, the maître would greet us with a congratulation, special seating or complementary dessert, but none was received. The Lobster Bisque was a bit salty and the amount of crab in the Lump Crab Towel was frugal, otherwise the Stuffed Shrimp was tasty and service was good."

"Came here the other night with some friends. The food was good but, the waitress just seemed "off." She was nice but, I think she was new. She had to come and ask what our orders were, she would disappear for twenty minutes at a time and not refill our drinks. One of our friends ordered a glass of wine and it wasn't until 20 minutes later the waitress came back to say her choice wasn't available by the glass. Meanwhile, my other friend was waiting for another beer and he gave up and said "never mind" on the refill. She just seemed overwhelmed...
Fortunately, the food was good, I had the parmesen crusted flounder which was very tasty and my wife had the Chilean sea bass which was one of the specials that day."

"The beef medallions were delicious but the shrimp scampi and the Mahi Mahi were very over cooked. It was disappointing because we thought the restaurant specilized in seafood. The creme brulee was the best I have ever had... This was the best part of the evening."

"It's not "Nouvelle cuisine". They call themselves a fish house. Portions are very small, especially for the price. $29.99 for a small piece of swordfish with a smattering of mashed potatoes, 2 florets of broccoli with some shredded carrots. Salad extra. My wife's entree was similarly skimpy. Tasted good, nice people, but I won't go back."

"Nice dinner with the boss. The food and ambiance was good. The server was not welcoming or friendly, made no small talk. She seemed inpatient with one of our guest who was indecisive in choosing their meal. A smile to everyone goes a long way!"

"Our dining out was to celebrate Valentine's Day. I called in to confirm our reservations and requested a personalized menu for my wife, which she received when we arrived and were seated. When we arrived, I requested a booth (I had forgotten to request on earlier)and they accomodated us without any problems. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive."

"Waiter seemed like he wasen't interested in working. It took him 20 mins to bring us only 2 glasses of wine. not even a mixed drink and was pushing us to buy a bottle even though we said were not much of a drinker and wont drink another glass. The food was actually very bland. Nothing exciting wasent work the $120."

"It is always a pleasure to dine at the McCormick & Schmick's Seafood in Pasadena. We have dined at this McCormick & Schmick location several times & we have never had a bad experience. The ambiance is the best & the food even better. Our waitress Lorriana was delightful & worked so hard to meet all our needs at our Valentine lunch. Thank You!"

"It is hard to find a good seafood restaurant in the valley. Our experience was great. The food was wonderful as were the drinks. The service was very good but the waiter could have been alittle more attentive. Nice atmosphere. Worth the trip from Northridge. Will definitely go there again."
