    Our server, Skyler, provided excellent service, but the food was a bit inconsistent. The appetizer was enjoyable, but two of the four entrées fell short. The chicken was overcooked and dry, while the steak was well-prepared.

    Our server was extremely knowledgable and helpful when making our selections. Since we were prior servers ourselves we knew he was upselling us, but he did it in such a fabulous and convincing way. I, of course, had to take his suggestion and add the scampi shrimp to my filet. He was informative and not pushy at all. We thoroughly enjoyed the service from everyone there, but particularly our server who I think was named Jacob. I hope that was right because he deserves a big shout out! Thank you everyone! Food was outstanding. Top Tier.

    Amazing meal and service. Seated right away with a great view of Fountain Square. Server was attentive and friendly, and the meal was paced out outstandingly from start to finish. Split a fantastic salad and enjoyed the salmon and ribeye with delicious potatoes and brussel sprouts. Wish we had saved room for dessert, but we will be back for more soon! Thanks for everything!

    Although the server was knowledgeable about the food, he was a terrible server. I had to go to the bar for our drinks. Our water glasses sat empty for 90 minutes before being refilled. We were seated at 6:00 and it was after 8:00 when we received our meals. This would be somewhat understandable if not for the fact that he restaurant wasn't the least bit crowded

    Not the same McCormick & Schmick’s. Steak was thin, mashed potatoes seamed canned. Parm cheese on truffled fries seamed fake because it never melted on the fries when the fries were hot. Just not worth the price.

    Has gone down quite a bit over the years . Service was well below par and lacking in a number of ways . Had a reservation and still had to wait tho restaurant was 1/2 full at best . Asked for water 4x never came , whatever you asked for took 15 min and a few reminder’s , fish was mushy and cold in center so had to ask to be sent back. Split checks and bills were mixed up . Cant see coming back. To many better options for the money.
