McCormick & Schmick's is an upscale restaurant that serves sensational food. From the drinks to the dessert, all the food is well-cooked and presented lovely.

Guys come to Providence and EAT HERE. Bring a special lady and spend a few dimes on her. I guarantee she'll remember you for this incredible establishment. Eat the Steak. Eat the Seafood. Come with a credit card just in case.

Food was very good. The wait in between courses was terrible. The male manager was extremely unprofessional. The other manager, who was a young woman, was working harder than anyone else in the place. A trash barrel was wheeled by our table, the male manager was reprimanded staff in the middle of the dining room. I actually got up to tell him that we didn't need to hear that during our meal and he was very rude. Wouldn't go back despite good food and would not recommend your restaurant.Our bill came to $250.00, and because it was New Year's Eve, I still tipped $100. The waiter was young and very nice, but I WAS surprised that he didn't acknowledge the tip which I felt was reflective of poor training.

Food was very good and arrived in good timing. However, service is lacking. Waiter brought us the wrong bottle of wine and kept disappearing. We had to have the manager cash us out after we sat for at least 15 minutes.

Horrible. After reading reviews, went here only because I had a gift card, expecting the worst and got it. Our waiter had blood on his teeth because, as he reported, he fell down on his way to work. Long waits for drinks and main course. $39 NY strip was just ok. No bread and butter, no water refills. Had a $75 gift card to defray $160 total bill for two with tip. They ran the card and said the card had not been validated, which was hogwash. Ended up handing hostess $90 in cash and walking out, leaving them to sort out THEIR corporate gift card snafu. NOT my problem. DO NOT EAT HERE. It is a trap for unknowing visitors to Providence staying at the Biltmore Hotel in which this hell hole is situated.

The bartender (Tom) created the most amazing winter/fall beer drink ever and I'm not even a fan of pumpkin!! He gave me the Shipyard Pumpkin Ale with a cinnamon-sugar rim and IT. WAS. INCREDIBLE. And I've never been a pumpkin spice girl, just for the record. But I drank all of it. Also, his espresso martinis are delicious. Grayson (pantry cook/raw bar) made the prettiest plate of fruit and berries for my dessert- I love a light dessert, especially if I'm having a martini!

Service was less than what you should expect for fine dining, crumbs were left all over the table and she didn't seem versed with the menu. Shrimp cocktail was hard and rubbery. I've had plenty better prime rib in supposed lesser establishments. Lobster tail side was passing to an over cooked fish special. Oysters were pleasant. Overall, not surprised last minute reservations we're easy to get when our first choices nearby were booked up.

If you want the best for less or just less. I love their lunch FRESH FISH SMALL PLATES and Happy Hour SMALL BITES Menu. They are always welcoming and helpful. A nice quiet and relaxing restaurant with friendly service.

Small bar, kind of quiet, but okay if you are staying at the Biltmore and don't feel like going anywhere.

Prices a bit high, but food is excellent. Service very good, many kinds of draft beers.

I go here for lunch and said I was there for food, but they take me to a bathroom instead. That irked me and make me want to give just three stars. Only after saying that I'm a "Party of One" was I given a table. Aside from that the Fish and Chip was nice and the lady who served me was sweet. The oysters were cold, but I was told that is normal as it was my first time.

I very rarely write bad reviews because most places who give poor customer service will be out of business soon enough. I was staying at the Biltmore for a conference and the the weather was bad so I had to take most of my meals at this place. My experiences with M&S took place over a weekend. One evening I stopped by the bar to have a drink and something small. I sat at the bar for 6 minutes (I actually timed this) and although three people worked behind the bar, no one even acknowledged I was there. The bartender had no issues fawning over the two ladies sitting next to me, but he literally treated me like I was invisible. I am not exaggerating when I say that no one even said a single word to me. This visit was on 3 March about 5pm. I got so annoyed I finally left. The next morning I had breakfast there and while there were no issues with the food at any time during my visit, something was very wrong with the coffee. The waiter, to his credit, actually brought me a new cup, but although I now spent my entire meal without coffee, I still was charged for it. I've worked in a restaurant before and the norm would be to at least remove the coffee from the bill. It is such a small thing, but is something people notice and remember. There were several instances where I waited for things like a new beer or more coffee which I should not have been waiting anywhere near that long. Even times when waitstaff and a manager walked by my table and could have easily seen I was out of coffee. Had it not been for being at a conference, I would easily have eaten somewhere else. M&S may have a reputation, but they need to tread lightly, they are going to lose that reputation if this is how they treat customers. Remember the old saying, it takes a lifetime to build a customer base and only moments to lose it.
