Extremely disappointed. My wife and I went there because we had a discount coupon from an event we attended. The place looked nice and we thought we would be in for a great evening. My wife was debating between the clams and the lobster ravioli. The waiter suggested the clams (apparently more expensive than the ravioli). When her meal came, we were shocked at the paucity of clams. if there were 10, I would be surprised. I raised this with the waiter who offered to get her more. My wife demurely declined. He then offered her another glass of wine. We expected that it was complimentary given our complaint about the clams. It wasn't. The clams also were not very good.

As for my meal, the "Haddock Chatham, Mass.", it tasted fine but it was lacking the lobster stuffing that was supposed to accompany it.

I loved my clam chowder. My wife, on the other hand, was a bit uneasy. If you go, make sure you ask if they checked to make sure the clam shells are removed. They are not a good substitute for the lack of clams in the chowder

Horrible Service-Never going there again!. My boyfriend and I came for a quick dinner. We waited for 55 min. after we ordered; and we only ordered 1 burger, buffalo wings, and a shrimp cocktail. While we there, these guys sat down to a dirty table even after we put in our order. So the waitress had time to clean their table and then they got their table full of food and were enjoying it for a good 20 min before we got so upset that we asked the waitress, and her answer was that they ordered "medium" burgers, while ours was med. well, we waited for another 5 min, and they food still didn't come, so then i asked her if we could just pay for our drinks, and she just walked away, no apology said., she didn't even get us our bill, grrrr......that really made me angry! so we had to leave our money on the table, I understand that sometimes restaurants mess up orders, but if the waitress had said sorry or explained to us why we waited so long, i wouldn't be so angry, I'm neva goin back there again!

Better Than Expected. I stumbled into McCormicks by accident and really didn't expect very much, but the food is excellent, the tables are comfortable, the service was great and the price was fair. I really liked their blackened swordfish, which is really fresh with a great flavor. All of their shellfish is great and in a good sauce or broth. There are many different excellent fish dishes and they have great specials when certain fish is more seasonal. And the kitchen was flexible about prepping my dish to my specific taste. I have also been there for the happy hour specials which are an amazingly great deal. A large burger which was great, was only $1.95. My only complaint is I wish they didn.t play jazz music in the dining area. Although it's not too loud so it's not a big deal. Overall I say the food is really outstanding and it's a fun atmosphere.

Clubby corporate restaurant draws seafood lovers with fresh daily catches and posh atmosphere.. In Short
Upscale and sophisticated, this chain features art deco-inspired trappings such as dark wood, shiny brass and beveled glass. Servers clad in black and white weave through cocktailing couples and businessmen at the bar. The classic American, seasonally inspired seafood menu changes daily; specialties include starters of Dungeness crab cakes and oysters on the half shell, plus entrees like cedar plank-roasted salmon, sauteed lobster with scallops and rock shrimp, and seared yellowfin tuna with wasabi, soy and ginger.

cheap happy-hour food items. usually go for happy hour. they have a good selection of dirt cheap food on happy hour menu which you can order before... 5:30pm i think? however the drinks are kinda on the pricey side (around $12+ for cocktails). well they have to balance their check books too you know.
