How the mighty have fallen. Last Saturday night I took my elderly mother into the city to see the Crèche and we made reservations to then have dinner at this location of McCormick & Schmick's. Between the number of patrons wearing greasy baseball caps as they dined and a manager walking around with his shirttail out, the atmosphere felt more like that of a coffee shop than a quality restaurant. Service was generally polite but uninformed. The clam chowder had a slight wall paper paste quality to it but to be fair they certainly did not scrimp on clams. My crab cake entrée was soggy to the point of rendering them completely tasteless. I'm guessing they either had been previously frozen or refrigerated for a lengthy period of time. Regardless, they were a real disappointment and not close to being worth the $34 price tag. Doubtful that we'll ever return but that may be a moot point as it wouldn't surprise me to see this place on corporate's chopping block. As to the baseball caps, Tony Soprano would not have been pleased. ;-)
