I don't handle change well. But I try to go with the flow. Unfortunately, in Las Vegas the flow is a deluge. This update is for the Happy Hour only.
McCormick & Schmick's Happy Hour was famous for its half- pound Cheeseburger. I can't complain about the legendary $2.95 burger now costing $3.95 - it's still a deal. But I sure can bitch about the fact that most of the drink specials are gone from the menu. Now your choice of Happy Hour beer is no choice. Coors Light or the highway. It's $3.75, and comes in a small glass. No more Sangria, or the cocktail of the day. Oh, you can also choose from a few coctails for $8.95 or some others for a buck more, and the Happy Hour house wines are 5.95.
The food menu is also pared back. The blackened fish taco, which we got for a buck last time, is 4.95 now. It was good, but skimpy for the price. Last time it was a Special Thursday deal. Now there are no special deals any day.
Why this Draconian revision? The waitress provided the answer: McCormick and Schmick was bought by Landry's, and the suits have been tinkering with things ever since. She also said regular customers were VERY unhappy. No surprise there.
The late-night Happy Hour at M& S used to be our go-to place after a Strip show or event. I guess if hubby and I are both up for cheeseburgers, we'll go back. But without the happy anticipation we used to have.
