McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks in Houston

Made a reservation for an early dinner and the atmosphere was cozy and tables empty. We came while happy hour was still going on so the bar area was more crowded. Service was good, as expected. Food was okay, not great but not bad. Drinks were good but not amazing. Overall I probably wouldn't come back unless someone else wanted to or for an event. The meal price isn't worth it to me.

Service was exceptionally underwhelming. I went to celebrate with a friend for her birthday last night. We called to see if we could be seated earlier than our reservation because we finished up shopping early. It took three people and multiple holds for them to say no because of a wait. That's fair, but you think they would have said we were welcome to wait at the bar and they'd see what they could do. Our waiter and hostess new it was my friends birthday, and that I am a Landry's Select Club Member. We even had table labels. We had to ask for the complimentary bread instead of being offered. When it came time to order steaks I asked if the sides were big enough to split. We ordered asparagus and roasted potatoes. However, our food came out and both our steaks also had mashed potatoes? We had no idea they came with them. Our waiter never told us, or checked to see if we truly needed another side of potatoes or wanted to substitute instead. When he asked if we wanted to look at the dessert menu I said of course! We're here to celebrate a birthday. However her dessert didn't come with a candle or a happy birthday wish. When we got the check, hers wasn't comped either. (Typically a standard on a  birthday dessert.) I had ordered my own. When I asked he said "oh.... well we sometimes do a crime brûlée or chocolate cake for the birthday dessert. I'll have to go talk to my manager." I'm shocked he didn't tell us this in advance because our order would have once again been different. Just overall poor communication. I will not be going back. I'll stick with Taste of Texas and their exceptional service.

A little bit on the high end, price wise. But, my friends and I had a great time!
