McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks

The drinks, appetizers, and main course were all delicious Shockingly the bread, while fresh did not taste good. The ambience was nice, but the room was very cold. 

Overall really great experience.
Chrissy and AJ are top tier servers!!

It was really warm where we were seated other than that - good food and great service.

It’s easy to forget this place, because it’s been here forever, but the food and service have always been excellent. Always a great meal. Environment in the bar area is bright and lively. Dining room is a little stodgy but acceptable.

We showed up just before closing, they told us no problem, seated us, and took care of us. They were very welcoming and the food was fantastic. I had the ribeye and it was excellent!

First our server was very good. I got one of their 2 course meals. I had the stuffed shrimp for my main course & enjoyed it.

I've liked every visit so far - staff, ambiance, and some awesome desserts like the two pics. Either is a winner - chocolate truffle cake or the brown butter cake. Can't wait to try more. I'll pass on the cinnamon ice cream but am glad I got a taste.

The food was great , the service was lacking had to ask for water and bread was never brought to our table. Expect better service for the price point.

I don't want to butcher our server's name but she was AH-MAY-ZING! So attentive and courteous. The food was delish.

The atmosphere and food was great, as we celebrated my husband;d's birthday. We will definitely return to this establishment!

I had the best time at McCormick & Schmick’s and it was all because of David and Lauren. Lauren was behind the bar and made me the perfect margarita, and I’m very particular about how I like mine. She had such great energy and was so attentive the whole night. David was my server and he handled every detail of my stuffed crab dinner exactly the way I asked. I’m a picky eater and they still got everything just right. After a long day, having both my drink and my food come out perfect meant so much. They made me feel at home and gave me the kind of service that makes you want to come back again and again.

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service I received during my visit for happy hour yesterday, August 18, 2025, at your Crystal City location. My experience was made truly exceptional by our bartender and server, Chrissy (Christine).

I must admit, it has been over three years since my last visit to a McCormick & Schmick’s. A couple of less-than-ideal experiences at other locations (one at the harbor and another on K Street) had unfortunately kept me away. However, a birthday gift card prompted me to give it another try, and I am so incredibly glad I did.

Chrissy’s performance was a masterclass in customer service. From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly attentive, pleasant, and offered excellent recommendations. What truly set her apart was her ability to create a personalized and celebratory atmosphere for my birthday. Her energy and positivity made our small group of three feel like a grand celebration.

I was particularly impressed with her ability to provide such individualized attention while clearly managing a busy bar area. She seamlessly divided her time, making us feel as though we were her only guests. Thanks to Chrissy, I was reminded of how much I used to enjoy decompressing at your happy hour, and this single visit has inspired me to return to that routine.

Employees like Chrissy are invaluable. She not only provided a memorable birthday experience but also single-handedly restored my faith in the McCormick & Schmick’s brand. I hope you will recognize her for her remarkable customer service skills and for being an exemplary ambassador who is directly responsible for bringing a former customer back into the fold.
