So now Scottsdale can be added to the list of the McCormick and Schmicks locations!
This is a great place to go if you like good fresh seafood at decent prices. They have a large selection of all types of fish to a few different types of oysters (yumm).
The atmosphere at this location is ok. We went on a Wednesday night and it appeared to be "senior" night as everyone looked around the age of 60 or above. It kinda has that "antiquey" and family feel to it. Totally different from the atmosphere of ThaiFoon, the restaurant that occupied that space previously.
I had the "mixed grill". Salmon, sea bass, crab cake and risotto. The Salmon was really good and actually REAL wild Alaskan Salmon, the best! I didn't care for the sea bass much, but I am not a huge fan of sea bass anyways. The crab cake was good and the risotto tasted good but was way too dry to be a risotto (it appeared that it had been made hours ago, but the taste was still yummy).
My "Brazilian lover" had one type of their halibut which he completely devoured.
Surprisingly they make really good margaritas there! I didn't think margaritas and fish would go that well together but they do and I think a little margarita makes everything taste better anyways!
I actually want to give this 3.5 stars just because the prices seem to be good for the quality of the food. I will be back but probably not on a regular basis, the atmosphere needs a little work.
