The one star is for the wine because it was the only thing coming from McCormick & Schmick's that was not a complete letdown. The absolute worst dining experience I've ever had. My family and I (about 25 people) had a private room to celebrate my grandmother's 85th birthday. It was a very special occasion; family members flew in just for the weekend, so of course I was expecting nothing but the best from this establishment. The waiters took our drink and appetizer orders and they came out promptly. After taking our food orders, we waited over an hour and a half to get our meals. The food was not hot at all; it was lukewarm at best. Some people's meals that came with mashed potatoes were told the kitchen ran out of mashed potatoes --- when the food came out. And instead of asking what they would like in place of the mashed potatoes, they just put roasted potatoes on the plate and served it. Then I asked the waiter to bring out the cake. He brought the cake out, put the candles in the cake, and set it on the table and walked back in the kitchen without lighting the candles or anything. The manager ended up having to take $300 off of the bill because half of the family did not even eat their food. This was not the level of service or quality of food I was expecting from this restaurant. I was, and still am, deeply disappointed that what was supposed to be a joyous occasion turned out so awful. I will never dine here again and will be calling corporate.
