"The oysters although delicious were only schucked on one side so I had to scrape them off of the shell.
My scallops had one of the feet still attached.A prep no no
They were out of the only Chablis they had on the wine list."

"Arrived to find they didn't have my open table reservation, but seated us quickly as the place wasn't busy for a Saturday night. Service was very good. Food was good, but the real issue was portions vs. price. VERY overpriced for what you receive. I ordered grilled rainbow trout and received only a half of a thin fillet for $20. All other meals were the same way, good but hardly worth what they charged. I was also surprised to "local" fish specials,(no swordfish??!!) very strange for a seafood restaurant that says it specializes in local fish. I would not recommend to anyone who is hungry, but if you are willing to pay top dollar for small bites you probably will enjoy."

"We went to celebrate our anniversary. Waiter was not attentive. We ordered spinach and mushrooms as a appetizer, and salmon as our main course. After a 50 minute wait EVERYTHING was served together. There was NO spinach in our appetizer. When we mentioned this to our waiter, he grabbed the mushrooms off the table, and returned 25 minutes later with the correct order. We wanted this as an appetizer not a dessert. Also, the size of the salmon was undersized. The portions were 4 oz. or less.. At $25 a plate we overpaid. Fish was at least cooked correctly.. When I got back to my hotel room I reviewed the check and discovered the waiter had charged us $7.99 instead of the listed price of $5.99 for the spinach."

"Four of us went before going to Trinity. First of all the dining room was extremely warm. We asked our server, Kaitlyn, if she could put the a/c on...a manager came over and explained they were having problems but it would cool off soon. It never did! The chowder was good. My friend and I ordered the lump crab "tower". It was good but was more like a small cake (like a crab cake)...definitely not a tower. Two of us ordered the Ahi Tuna, which was good, but our sticky rice was cold and crunchy! We told Kaitlyn, she apologized and about 20 mns. later returned with warm rice for us which was not seasoned. Also the green beans had to be sent back because they were overdone. The coffee was old and we couldn't drink it. Kaitlyn was a good server."

"If you enter through the restored Biltmore lobby, you get the traditional feel immediately. The dark wood of the dining room and bar area gives you the clubby ambiance of an old eatery. We were initially seated close to the bar which was noisy, but were readily accommodated when we asked for a quieter table. Our server respected our desire for a leisurely meal and was attentive, but not overbearing. The food was delicious, including the chowder and the wonderfully fresh oysters. Entrees off the special and regular menus were nicely presented and very fresh!
The only down side was that our leisurely meal lasted more than the 3 hr free valet parking, so we had to pay $15 to park! That made an expensive evening, just a little more so!"

"I know they're a chain, but a high-end chain, and I expected the service and food to be, at the very least, adequate. Our waiter was very nice, slightly sales-y, but nice none the less. We order as an appetizer the "Rhode Island-Style" calamari, which were oddly bland. We each ordered our entrees plus a couple of sides for the table. The entrees came out, except my husband's steak didn't have the sauce he ordered - and despite mentioning more than once that our sides were not there - they finally came out as we were almost done eating. We still were charged for our late sides, even though it was the manager who solved the issue. It was as if they trained their wait staff on 'selling up' but not serving. We don't plan to go back."

"The food we very good but the service was poor - we had to ask to have our water glasses full, they were later bringing out the bottle of wine and brought the bread after the appetizer. I have eaten McCormick & Schmick's Seafood in other locations and always had great service. I was very surprised by the service levels at the Providence location. The food was very good."

"I am so happy we chose McCormick $ Schmidts to end a day at the ballet and celebrate mother's day early. Our waiter was cordial and knowledgable. We began with tale appetizers of calamari with banana peppers and stuffies. The calamari was excellent, but we found the stuffies with bacon a little salty, more like a casino than a traditional stuffie.
Dinner did not disappoint! We ordered the seared scallops with spinach crab hash brown and potato pesto, and left nothing to lick,
grilled salmon "perfectly done" , stuffed salmon with crab and brie, another winner and the Palm Beach Mahi Mahi (I would order it again in a heartbeat). Dessert, Creme Brule and Chocolate Expresso cake was spectacular and huge."

"We went because my husband loved the one in Kanas City when he lived there. The menu wasnt exactly the same as he remembered, used to list the foods just brought in for the day, but it is neat they change the menu out daily! He enjoyed his King Crab legs, my meal was also very good. The restaurant might need some updating, seemed kind of dated. The only real complaint was that we got clams and they all had slivered pieces of shell in them, like they were not schucked well."

"Very disappointed this is called a seafood restaurant. Was out for a business meal, and my clients could not order what they wanted. No lobster, only lobster tail and those had been previously frozen. I did not realize when I made the reservation that it was a chain. I guess then location doesn't matter. Being on the coast I assumed their seafood would be fresh. Lesson learned."

"We were a bit underwhelmed. Expected better for this range of restaurant. Some of the food was great (chicken), but some not so much (chowder, calamari) and the rest was just OK. Our waiter was very enthusiastic at first, then as the meal went on, she tended to be a bit much. Table and ambiance was ok, but it was at least not next to the loud bar crowd. Overpriced for what we experienced."

"The food underwhelmed me and the service was sub-par. We had a table for seven which automatically included an 18% tip. That is OK for Outback but tasteless for upscale restaurants IMHO. Even so I would expect for a large party with a guaranteed tip there should be two servers but not here. First, not all of the place settings were complete. Second, the server completely forgot to take my order (he skipped me completely). I ordered the Ultimate Mixed Grill. Well let me say that there was nothing ultimate about this dish. It looked like more a sample appetizer (two pieces of four items from the menu). Believe me, I understand portion control. I wan't expecting a "Buca di Beppo" platter full of fish but "Ultimate"? Really? C+"

"The service was terrible. LONG waits in between courses. Bread and butter kept passing our table, served to other tables and never to ours. Our water glasses were left empty through most of the meal. Finally when we were 90 percent done, we each got a half-glass of water.
The food was quite good, but sadly the tiny portions would have fit into a thimble. For the prices charged, you just ought to get more food. It was a rip off!
We will NEVER go back!"

"Not worth the price. Not sure if I would return. Shark was over rated for the price. Server recommended it. Maybe because most expensive item on menu. Should have stuck with the steak it looked better. Cappuccino was very watered down sent it back. Apple pie was very good."

"We have been to McCormick and Shmicks several times and always enjoy the food. The wait staff is generally pretty good, however, the bartenders are rude and will not make eye contact with you until they are ready. We have stood at the bar for fifteen minutes before a bartender acknowledged us and then it was just to say " I'll be with you in a minute"! We live downtown and will only go to M&S for dinner, never for appetizers or drinks."

"We were a bit underwhelmed. Expected better, having gone to the M & S in Faneuil Hall, Boston, a few times in the past. Some of the food was great (raw bar items, cheesecake and wedge salad), but some not so much (chowder, King crab legs) and the rest was just OK (cod, swordfish entrees). Our waiter was very enthusiastic at first, then as the meal went on, he tended to ignore us. We had asked for a romantic table ahead of time as it was our anniversary, but got seated in the noisiest part of the restaurant at first (next to the bar area) and had to ask for another, more quiet and private table. It was not necessarily a romantic table, but it was at least not next to the loud bar crowd. The place is overpriced for what we experienced."

"Have eaten a M&S since it's opening in Prov., quality in food, preparation, service has declined last time we went. Food for the most part was pedestrian and not worth the premium priced menu. Would not recommend going there anymore as I have in the past. Service was extremely subpar, at least the waiter apologized for the inefficiency. Had to ask other waiter then ours for service."

"We went for Valentine's Day and the restaurant was extremely busy (therefore noisier than usual) but we still had a great meal and good service. We go to M & S regularly and always have a good experience."

"My overall experience exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing and our server, Maureen, went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. She had a great sense of humor and she made great recommendations. Try the apple pie! It's amazing!"

"We were eating light so we chose several appetizers, and all were stand-outs. The Crab Tower (lump crab meat, diced mango,perfect avocado and three sauces including balsamic syrup, mango and basil) was the clear winner, although my fried oysters were perfect as was the wood grilled shrimp."
