Reviews for McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks in Portland, OR

Welcome back to a time when dining out was a special event. Jake’s has all the stuff that makes a person enjoy shelling out... their hard-earned bucks and feel generous and gratitude for being so well taken care of. Servers have panache and an ear to theground. Want to know about nightlife? Done. Local haunts, done. What to order curated by knowledgeable staff, done. Atmospherescreams personal engagement. Guests in the bar mingled amongst each other, shared stories and dined like kings. Drinks weregenerous club pours and bespoke martinis with blue cheese-stuffed olives flowed like wine, each sip stinging the sweet slurp ofoyster liquor and vibrant mignonette. Succulent Dungeness crab and gloriously creamy Alfredo paired like poetry to the palate.Prepare to be pampered. Prepare for a food coma. Prepare to be satisfied. For our epicurean evening was the main event. We werespent, satisfied, elated and wrapped by the warm embrace of an excellent evening. The perfect setting for a successful date. Read more

My first time dining here and I enjoyed everything about this place! Waiters and the lady at the bar are friendly, the manager... tonight was super attentive and swung by our table and gave us extra sauce for our appetizers, plus Bloody Mary’s was superdelicious! The environment alone was cozy, especially on a rainy night. We got so full on appetizer’s, so when our meal wasdelivered to our table, we were already full. I cannot recommend this place enough…. This is a great place! We will totally beback. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful night. I totally recommend this place. Read more

Crab and artichoke dip was pretty red pepper heavy which wasn’t expected but overall good. Pita was crunchy, garlicky and... salty which paired with the dip nicely. The calamari was tasty however the dipping sauce had an interesting tang to it not yourusual aioli to go with calamari. The special we split for our meal was delicious. The cheese sauce the crab and shrimp was mixedin and stuffed into the perfectly prepared salmon. The green beans were cooked to perfection and the mashed potatoes didn’tdisappoint. Definitely would recommend. Read more

It took Several minutes for the waiter to get to our table but once there the pace of the food and service picked up... considerably. ordered the Jake's Etouffe and was very happy With the amount of seasoning. Liked them leaving the rice in aclump so that I could put as much as I wanted. Would have enjoyed it more if the shrimp had been fried In a skillet rather thanboiled. This gives a completely different texture to the shrimp and more flavor in the a them. The sole was well seasoned but abit tough. The crab cakes were perfect! Read more

Went here 7/23/2022, honestly, most amazing seafood I've ever had! I absolutely love the aesthetic of the place. The staff are... dressed in the most amazing, classy outfits. I love how nice our waitress Natalie was! She was on it with the martinis and food.She checked up on us quite a bit, super polite woman. I came here for my birthday and they gave me a free piece of flour -less,dark chocolate cake with a bitter rasperry syrup. It's on the expensive side, but it's worth it. They treat you very very well. Read more

Highly recommend. This place has been around for over a hundred years for a reason. We were seated in an alcove that sat 6. It... is pricey. For six of us to eat, appetizers, drinks and dessert we were in well over $300. Favorites were french onion soup,fish and chips and the cod with crab and shrimp. Fish & chips is lightly breaded and very tender. Not a single dish we wouldn'trecommend. Historic Portland seafood right in the heart of downtown. Read more
