"My wife and I went to M&S Grille on Jun 15, 2013. We ordered our drinks and I ordered a Coke, I had to ask for refill after having an empty glass for 10 minutes. We ordered a Bowl of Lobster Bisque, the Lobster Bisque was $13.00 and was served with croutons a 2 small pieces of meat, and a separate container for the warm Bisque. The Bisque filled the bowl about 1 inch the Lobster was over cooked. Our server refused to bus our table throughout our dinner. Our server didn't offer bread to our table provided it to his other tables. Our dinner were good. The manager didn't check on us during our dinner, I shared my thoughts with on my way out. He seemed disappointed and asked who the server was and apologized for the service."

"The food and service were very good. I thought the Jack Daniels was a little pricey, but the wines by the glass were reasonable. We both enjoyed our main course, but the Cesar salad was nothing special. It is a large restaurant with a noisy bar area, but it also offers outdoor seating and a quieter area for indoor seating. Overall, it was a nice experience and I would go back again."

"M&S Is a very reliable restaurant iin Reston Town Center. Service is always excellent and the food is good. It is not exactly creative or special - except for whatever nachos they have on the appetizer menu - sometimes they are Pot Roast Nachos, sometimes they are Pulled Pork Nachos, etc - but they are always YUMMY!!!! Otherwise the menu is pretty standard - grilled fish, chicken, steaks. They do it well - just nothing that makes you say WOW! (Except for the previously mentioned nachos.) It is very good for a group of business travelers staying at the Hyatt. They are pros at being able to serve a table of 10+ people."

"OK I live in the town center and love the fact that I can walk to and from dinner. With that said M&S is solid with a packed menu for all, I tried for the first time the Blackened Salmon (kind of off the menu), it was one of the best pieces of fish I remember having additionally I had plated steamed veggies (yes I'm that guy). Although it was only green beans and carrots they were crisp no butter and junk as requested. Great over all experience along with the group I was with, service attentive and always ready to aid."

"The actual food is great. The problem started with the restaurant not having my reservation and they needed to set a table. Long wait for waiter, for food to arrive, for check. If you need to get back to the office in a timely manner, go somewhere else. If' you've got 1.5 hours or so, it's a great place for lunch."

"We ended up at the M & S Grill because McCormick and Schmick's was fully booked for the evening. We were a group of 7 who decided very last minute to go to dinner altogether, and M & S had availability. My only reasoning for giving it 4 stars was the atmosphere... the restaurant was half empty so there wasn't much of a social scene compared to a place like Jackson's in RTC. However, this was what allowed us to dine there that evening. The food was fantastic! I got the seared scallops entree which was amazing. We had someone who was vegetarian with us, and the chef concocted an original pasta dinner for her. Our server was on point and extremely attentive and friendly. We'd definitely come back!"

"Had steak. It was very good. The trout was a bit dry. Caeser salad was very good. Rolls were excellent. Went on Mother's Day in the evening. The menu was the usual one, no added costs for the special day. Service was prompt and helpful.
Parking is easy in the adjacent building park lots at the end of the block."

"We ordered an appetizer of chips with spinach dip and hot cheese dip. The chips were stale, We told the waiter and he came back and said they were making new chips. When he returned, he had new dips but the chips were still stale (they weren't hot either so I don't think they made the chips). I told him that the chips were still stale. The rest of the meal was okay (nothing great) and we were charged for the bad appetizer. I just ate at the M&S grill at the Inner harbor in Baltimore and my experience was so much better -- that's why I took my mom here for Mother's Day. Very disappointing"

"I have been going to this restaurant for years and have always thought it was amazing! This past weekend, we took my mom there for Mother's Day. The service was slow, the waiter told us incorrect information about he menu, and the food was bland. no seasoning anywhere. We split an order of mac and cheese, there was a lot of mac, no cheese. not worth the price tag. Overall, the setting was pretty and it was a nice day with mom, but I won't be back anytime soon!"

we got there late on a Thursday & they seemed to be winding down. food was OK, but not spectacular.
wished they hadn't shut down so early. 9:30 or so.
might have been better if they weren't in rush to close up & cleaning up etc."

"My server left a lot to be desired -- although there were probably no more than 5 other parties (other than the BIG party in the front room), our waiter was hard to find and inattentive. He never told us his name and we never caught it -- we'd call him to get his attention for beverage refills and he'd just keep walking -- perhaps because we didn't call his name???? Additionally, I order tilapia, but I'm left wondering if it truly was -- it wasn't the flaky fish I'm used to seeing. Otherwise, the food was quite good."

"I was disappointed with the service. We were the only patrons in the restaurant for lunch, yet the meals were not delivered for 30 minutes. We ordered a side of hush puppies that were not served as an appetizer, but just 5 minutes before the lunch. We specifically requested no french fries on 2 of the plates since the 2 year old in the party is obsessed with fries. The plates were served with fries which caused some angst for the 2 year old. I wrote in the open table reservation that we we celebrating a birthday which was not mentioned until we were leaving the restaurant. We won't be back."

"M&S used to have great steaks and excellent service. No more. Now it is overpriced, poor quality steak, slow service, waiter didn't know the bar or the menue, inattention to the details of the orders, and no follow up by the wait staff. I won't be going back."

"I lucked into having lunch at this restaurant, since I had originally made reservations for the one across the street. The food was wonderful. I had shrimp, stuffed shrimp and salmon, broccolini, carrots and orange(?) mashed potatoes. My friend-whose birthday we were celebrating-had the steak. The waiter and manager attentive. We were definitely "feeling the love". I would highly recommend the dining experience to others."

"I was in Reston Town Center (RTC) recently. My party of 6 were seeking a casual restaurant for dinner. I found M & S Grill (McCormick & Schmick's) to be available on Open Table at 6:15pm so I confirmed our reservation. M&S is part of Landry's Restaurant group, which I joined as a frequent diner after our dinner.
When we arrived at 6:15pm we were seated almost immediately in the center of main dining room. Needless to say there were not too many patrons there at the time.
We ordered a round of cocktails, San Pellegrino and $60 pinot noir wine for the table. We quickly realized our servicer was extremely attentive to our table needs with excellent service.
M&S is a classic American grill experience with fresh seafood and shell fish"

"This was my first visit to this eatery. Over all I was disappointed. the food quality was not where I anticipated it would be. I had a lobster and filet combo that was almost the same portion size as a weight watchers meal, really. There were four tiny slices of filet - and I mean the size of a quarter - and these small bits of meat were literally swimming in sauce - to the point where there was not much ability to tell the flavor aside from the sauce. For a side I had the mac 'n cheese, and this looked promising but the quality was marginally above "out of the box" mac 'n cheese. While it had the golden crumbs baked on top, the flavor was lacking."

Waiter didn't give the table enough attention (it was a table of 14)
We had a table for 12 and two more showed up and they were unable to accommodate with an extra table. Yet there were empty tables all around us."

"Was disappointed at the limited selection - my bad should have consulted Open Table. Definitely not of the same calibre of McCormick's and Shmicks. Crab cakes had more filler than any crab cake I've ever had, to the point that they were soggy. Won't go back."

"We were seated and then ignored for about 15 minutes. When we got the attention a waiter- he checked and said that our waiter had not shown up for work yet! This waiter took our table in addition to his own station and provided excellent service. My husband and I decided to splurge and both ordered the tenderloin and lobster tail dinner. The lobster was chewy and tasteless and the tenderloin was also chewy and tasteless! The best part of our meal was the bread and the side of hush puppies we ordered.
We were very disappointed-- our bill was over $100 and we did not get the type of meal we expected."
