McCormick and Schmick's is one of my favorite rest...

McCormick and Schmick's is one of my favorite restaurants! My last experience was horrible. Now, my husband and I are not one to complain but with our past experience at this 4 star restaurant we have a level of expectations that just was not met at all!

So we made a reservation for lunch, got seated very quickly! We waited over 5 minutes to ask the host where our waitress was. Host response : "Oh!".... totally forgot about us.

Waitress comes out and we place an appetizer order of 6 blue point oysters and a side Caesar salad..some lemons for our water. She writes everything down. Waited 10 minutes for our apps..still no lemons. Salad comes out..very skimpy. 2/6 oysters were "gritty" and one was extremely small..not an experienced shucker.

Finally had to voice our concern..manager comes out, slightly defensive and made an excuse about the waitress being new and the pandemic being the reason why our experience sucked. However, she was more than happy to bring another oyster, which was gritty, and more salad!

Placed an order for cobia and seabass with seasonal vegetables. Seabass was extra salty, cobia lacked any flavor at all. And green beans and roasted potatoes were also bland.

I was really looking forward to this pre-anniversary lunch as we had to cancel once for the rain (outdoor seating), second for the protest, and a third time because the reservation was too late at night. I guess it was a sign unfortunately.
