I love seafood so naturally a place that serves both seafood and steak can't go wrong. The decor in this place is beautiful!! High ceilings large booths, white cloth tables and even certain seats that have drawn curtains.
I first came here with my sister last year before a movie. Our server informed of us of the day's specials as well as his opinion of the wines we were interested in. We order a bottle of Blackstone Merlot and a dozen Virginia oysters. Delicious! The oysters were sweet and tasted as if they were bathed in purified water. Even with a squeeze of lemon they didn't lose their ocean flavor and pungency.
For an appetizer we enjoyed their fried calamari "Fritto" that is served with marinara and some kind of lemony cream sauce. The tasted light and crispy and even better once dipped in the sauces. My favorite was the lemon cream sauce. Besides squid there were various types of vegetables like cauliflower, carrots and peppers. For our main course I selected a basic Caesar salad and my sister chose the same. The dressing was thick but their wasn't enough for the salad. when I asked for extra dressing our waiter brought us a small dish with only enough for one salad but we made it stretch any how. Towards the end of the meal we decided their was still room for desert.
My favorite part about this place is their upside down apple pie. It has a wonderfully buttery crust, warm soft apples drizzled in caramel and cinnamon. The topped it with a small scoop of french vanilla ice cream also drizzled in caramel and cinnamon. It complemented the pie so well and slowly melted from the apple pie warmth. The ice cream was very creamy and not watery or flavorless. It cost $10 a slice but is so worth it, my taste buds have never enjoyed pie more than they have at McCormick's.
With all the lovely decorations, warmth, and intimate environment i would list this place as a great spot for personal time away from the hustle and bustle or just a relaxing eat for you and your loved ones. I sometimes go here just for the apple pie ;)
