Reviews for McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks in Arlington, VA

Convenient location near Reagan Airport. The lobster bisque and clam chowder are both amazing. The pan seared striped bass is... excellent! They have a large selection of wines. I deducted one star because they try to sell you the Landry Club membership atthe end of the meal. Read more

I'm normally a fan of this restaurant but for some reason the food took too long to come to table and the drinks took longer bc... of bartender. Front area she was pleasant and kind, sitted us immediately. The food wasn't cooked properly, the drinks werewatered dwn, couldn't find parking but the overall may just have been a bad nite, so I'll return in a later date.?????????????????????? food was over priced but were in a recession. ????

Delightfully friendly and knowledgeable staff; a great spot if you have a seafood, steak, or fancy dessert itch to scratch. They... are part of the Landry's umbrella of restaurants and offer rewards as such for members. Just a skip away from the Crystal CityMetro station and an overall nice place to stop for a cocktail and some dessert. Read more

The food is very bland, and the sizing is mid on the smaller end. Good if you have food allergies and special diet etc,... otherwise I would suggest checking out a restaurant well flavored. Came on a Wednesday and the restaurant wasn’t busy, but theservice was very slow. Not sure if it’s a one off with the amount of bad reviews for the restaurant, but irregardless thebland food alone will not have me repeating my visit. My friends order was wrong and had to wait over 20 minutes while the restof us already finished eating. They didn’t bother to discount the cost. The bill was over $600 mind you, this is a subparrestaurant at best. We arrived at 730 pm and 2 hours later this is where were at and he is finally eating his dinner…. I dohighly suggest you go to Walrus at national harbor for far superior food and service and is perhaps 10 minutes from here Read more

My boyfriend and I celebrated my birthday here tonight. We were immediately acknowledged by the hostess who was warm and... friendly. The atmosphere was cozy and we were seated in a section with great privacy. Our waitress, Mertha, was very pleasantand efficient. She made the experience quite enjoyable! The meal, the drinks and the service was excellent. We will bereturning…and asking for Ms. Mertha!! Keep up the great work! Mary and Phil Read more

There was a special event going on when I visited the place so, getting seated then served, took a while. The place is neat and... the food was above average and all in, pricey! They have a nice bar, but it was packed with the event guests :( Parking could bea bit challenging there. Read more

A solid afternoon happy hour this side of the Potomac, with really good prices and really tasty food! Seafood seems to be the... specialty of the location, and their taco special (and especially Taco Tuesdays) are a treat. To be fair they were a bit dry,but they'll bring you homemade sauces if you'd like! The calamari appetizer is pretty good as well. Atmosphere is pretty nice.Modern place, indy and classical rock, great place to chill. The only negative was the service. Wasn't rude or anything, butthe seems like there was a single waitress for the entire place, and not only took a while, but she missed part of our order.Nothing major, but it was definitely a letdown. All in all, slow service aside, excellent happy hour! Read more

I usually don't try places below 4 stars, but decided to give this one a shot out of location convenience. I regret... it. Negatives: I waited over 30 minutes for my appetizer of 6 oysters. My lobster tail was incredibly overcooked. The potatoeswere soggy. The fries were soggy and cold. For an over $100 meal I was incredibly disappointed. Positives: my server wasincredibly friendly and attentive, including apologetic for how long it took the oysters to come out. Additionally the drinkswere delicious and strong, and pretty fast. So props to the bar and staff! Overall: won't be coming back, 2-stars only due tothe good service and drinks. Read more
