| - Disappointing.
I've eaten here about 5 times over the last couple years. This review is for the last two times, over the last 1 year.
First, service has been bad on both occasions. Seems like they either have assigned twice as many tables to each waiter as they should, or the waiters just are rude, but I have experienced unacceptable waits for each stage of the dining on both occasions, with two separate servers, so there is a real problem. With that said, servers were nice and professional when they were there... just took too long.
Second, atmosphere is just okay. You're typical mid-market seafood joint.
Third, the food is just okay. I mean it's maybe a 3 out of 5 stars, depending on what you order. Portions are on the smaller side. I've tried the Mahi Mahi (crispy fried in olive oil on outside with what tasted like a Montreal Steak Seasoning), as well as their Scallops. The scallops were by far the best.
The fresh sourdough bread is outstanding... I could eat several baskets if I let myself!
But for my fourth point, and the most important, the VALUE is NOT there. It's too expensive for what you get. I feel like every entree, if it was $3-4 cheaper, would be fair price. Maybe. But for just "average to good" food, it's not worth the prices.
I told myself after eating there last night I won't be back. Perhaps I'll forget that pledge, but I hope not. Go elsewhere (such as McCormick & Schmick's just up the road in Esplanade).
