McCormick & Schmicks is a great spot for a happy hour but definitely not my top spot for steak or seafood in the area. They have a great $1 oyster special on Wednesdays and their entire happy hour menu is very good. They have great specials and they are served throughout the entire bar area. When I went for dinner instead of just Happy Hour I was disappointed as to how loud the dining area was. The service was mediocre and truly did not think the food was any better than what they were currently serving at the bar.
I highly recommend McCormick & Schmicks for happy hour, especially on Wednesdays. Besides that there are better options for seafood and steak throughout the city.
