Review of McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood ...

I would like to leave 3 1/2 stars, but don't know ...

I would like to leave 3 1/2 stars, but don't know how, and I leave 3 only because of the oysters. For the last 30+ years, I have ordered oysters on the half shell from various McCormick and Schmich Restaurants and had bad or MARGINAL OYSTERS.

I realize that they have new ownership, and I love the Chart House on Terwilliger. So, going back to the Harborside, after several years, and on $1 oyster night, I was with 7 family members who ordered oysters. My first one was "Marginal"---it would have been really bad by tomorrow. My sons said every other oyster they had was "marginal" and we ordered no more--I stopped with one.

The service was FANTASTIC! The other food was good. It is hard to believe that a restaurant like this that serves so much seafood would have even ONE questionable anything.

Questionable oysters for over 30 years? Otherwise, I love all the McCormick and Schmick restaurants. I just don't get it.
