McCormick & Schmicks is one of those restaurants that serves a very real purpose by providing a place to wine & dine clients, colleagues, & co-workers. The environment is really nice. If you need privacy or quiet for a more serious discussion, there are little alcoves that seat six comfortably where the curtains can be drawn to provide privacy. The service is polite, attentive, & everything service should be.
My hesitation with McCormick & Schmicks is that for the price, the food is ok. It is enjoyable but not memorable & while it is not a really expensive restaurant, it is expensive enough that I expect a tad more.
