   I had always wanted to go here but when I got there I was very let down. Plus we had to pay $20 to park at the Pier V parking because there was a concert at Pier 6.
   
   The place look nice for the most part- however, I was very put off because there wine glasses were VERY spotted! When you are against the water background the spots stick out like sore thumb.
   
   It then took forever for our salad and soup to arrive. I had the seafood and corn chowder which was good but the Hubby had the Caesar salad which had no flavor what so ever.
   
   For dinner I had the Bay Scallops with garlic butter and some sort of bread crumbs. They were the smallest bay scallops I had ever seen. They were cooked well but after a few bites the flavor was gone. It reminded me of a soup- the butter and bread crumb mixture with the scallops. Would have been much better it thickened around the scallops. It was served with a rice pilaf and asparagus which were both good. Hubby had one of the steaks which he said was nothing special and had no seasoning on it at all.
   
   For dessert we had the trio. Dessert was the best part of the meal (besides the view). It had 3 mini things- a bread pudding, crème brulee and a banana pudding. So the best part of the night was dessert and the view. The décor is nice but besides those 3 things nothing else was any good.
   
   We both said we wont be going back again!!

   Very Poor Service: The service at McCormick & Schmicks used to be among the best, but lately it has gotten exceptionally poor. I am not sure if they are under new management, but things are really slipping there. The last time my husband and I went was in mid June, and we had to wait over 2 hours (after we were seated!) to get our food. We would have left, but my husband insisted we stay since my parents were with us. The really bad thing was the management acted like this was perfectly acceptable.
   
   Their main office is not much better. I wrote a complaint to them and they did not even have the courtesy to return a response (It has been over a month since I have written.)

   EXCELLENT...: Excellent food and service. You have to try the Atlantic Salmon stuffed with Blue Crab, Shrimps and Brie Cheese. The Rasberry Sorbet is an excellent choice in desserts among others such as the hot apple pie, etc. Great location and view while dining.
