You would think a seafood/steak place would know how to sear a scallop, right? Especially if you're paying $30.00 for them? You would be wrong at McCormick and Schmicks's. We were in a virtually empty restaurant on a Tuesday night, and I was served the most flaccid scallops I had ever seen. The waiter did not even return to check on us until it was time to bring us our bill. At that time he noticed that I had not eaten my dinner. Did I want them to remake them? No, not by then, because I needed to get home to the babysitter. Could they comp me a dessert? No, thank you, I would have preferred a dinner that I could eat. Horrible food AND service. My husband's entree was edible, but only barely. Never again.
