When I lived in Chicago McCormick & Schmick was a go to spot when you wanted to get a good meal and enjoy an upscale happy hour (that would eventually devolve into shenanigans...but I digress).
When I arrived in Pittsburgh I thought that I could expect the same. Unfortunately while the quality is on par with Chicago. The experience is not there. I think its the location. It's like parking a Tesla outside of a starter home nothing wrong with either item but they really don't fit well together.
Social experience aside the dining experience is great and I plan on returning.
