Review of McCormick

Thought I would be here leaving a beautiful review...

Thought I would be here leaving a beautiful review; however, that all changed on Friday, September 13th. My friend and I had reservations for 8:15 pm but we didn t arrive until 8:30 pm, due to finding parking. They were understanding and we were seated immediately. As we were looking at the menu, we realized 15 minutes had passed. At that point, we were still undecided on what to order. At the same time, no one had acknowledged our presence at the table. So, we figured after five or so more minutes, if we had decided what to order and no one came to the table, we would leave. Well, the hostess came by and we asked her the name of or server. We told her we have been waiting for 25 minutes and no one came to the table. She couldn t tell us his name. Not sure if she forgot his name or she forgot to add a table in his section. At any rate, she was apologetic and told us he would be right out. At that point, I started thinking that I was a fool waiting for 25 minutes (might as well say half an hour) for someone to greet us. Needless to say, we finally got up and left and told the hostess we were leaving. Again, she was apologetic and justified it by saying our server had a large party, it s busy, so on and so forth. I ve worked in the restaurant business. I was a server. At any time, if it was busy and you couldn t handle your section, the manager would assign another server to take your table. So there was no valid justification. Thank God the harbor has a plethora of other restaurants to dine at. We concluded our evening at Blackwall Hitch...
