"Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass" - $49.00 as the main dish

I placed a To Go order: "Seared Ahi Tuna" - $17.90 as appetizer "Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass" - $49.00 as the main dish Here are the food that I got. The Ahi Tuna looks fine, but the Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass looks like someone's leftover.

I have always been a fan of McCormick & Schmick's. There used to be a location in Burbank, but this is the only one left in SoCal. Time was short, so I just came in for a quick meal. I started off with a nice cold Martini and a couple of Spicy Asian Shrimp Tacos with Asian slaw, kimchi aioli. This was a great appetizer, perfect for sharing, but more than enough for one, if you are hungry. I also had the Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass, with Miso Ponzu Broth, Stir Fry Vegetables and Udon Noodles. The fish was nicely cooked and the glaze was not too thick. The stir fry veggies were crisp and the Udon noodles were just about perfect. An excellent meal. The service was just fine and the bar is comfortable. If you are in the area, McCormick & Schmick's is definitely worth a visit.

Located at Anaheim Garden Walk, I had a fantastic lunch here. The interior is an upscale, old-school steak and seafood restaurant. Every dish has an exceptionally nice presentation. We started off with some warm, complimentary bread and butter. I also ordered an Arnold Palmer; they know how to make a quintessential one here. For my lunch, I opted for the fish and chips. The Fish and Chips plate consisted of three plump pieces of Alaskan Cod on top of a bed of thin fries. There is no better choice for fish and chips than Alaskan cod. Each piece was covered in a perfect, crisp coating. The fries didn't look like anything special, but they tasted incredible. I'm not sure how they were prepared, but I couldn't stop eating them. Service was excellent and prices were what one would expect at a classy restaurant like this, although the lunch prices were surprisingly reasonable.

I haven't been here in forever, and my last visit was also for Happy Hour, so it felt like a full-circle moment coming back. We were a party of 3 and luckily snagged three seats at the bar. Hein was our bartender/server and he was fantastic super friendly, attentive, and spot-on with recommendations. We ordered from their HH menu and did an upgrade on the Old Fashioned. For food, we went in: Crispy Asian Calamari- I love this! Definitely not your usual boring calamari. It's lightly battered, fried to a golden crisp, and tossed in this sweet-spicy Asian glaze that is ultra delicious. Perfect crunchy bite and amazing with a cocktail. Spicy Asian Shrimp Tacos- These surprised me! The kimchi aioli adds the perfect tangy kick. Really flavorful. Cheeseburger- My bf ordered this and he really liked it simple, classic, and done well. Truffle Mac (regular menu)- My friend planned for us to share it, but the portion was small so we let her enjoy it. I did get one bite, creamy, truffle-forward, and really good! Upside Down Candied Walnut Apple Pie (regular menu)- Hein recommended this and I'm so glad he did. It's a 10/10! Warm, cozy, caramel-drizzled goodness paired with ice cream. If you're thinking about dessert, order this and thank me later! Lol. Overall, a wonderful Happy Hour experience. Great food, and excellent service from Hein. We'll definitely be back to do a regular dine-in next time!

Fish and chips and shrimp on the lunch special menu
Kathy W.

we came for happy hour and sat in the bar. The staff was busy, but the food and drinks came out quickly. We started with lemon drop martinis which were smooth and delicious. We shared appetizers of Calamari, Chicken wings, and Poke tuna chips. The calamari was probably the strongest course - a bowl full of delicious fried squid with a sweet sticky sauce and chilies. The poke tuna chips were actually spoonfuls of poke which were light and refreshing on top of fried shrimp chips. The menu descriptor said there would be kimchi in the poke, but I couldn't taste any. The bar and outside area was full of people enjoying the happy hour deals and I would definitely come back.

Sat a at hightop by the bar. Slow service; had to wave and then actually go up to pay. I had the chicken gnocchi and darn good - and the pic doesn't do it justice. Steaks also (looked) good.

We came here with a large work party but had reservations. The service was rough especially considering how many empty tables there were. It took over 20 minutes for half the table to get menus and water. We ordered a ton of food that was generally pretty good! Very classic steakhouse/ seafood vibes. Nothing overly exciting but well executed. The ambiance was strange with us in the middle of the room with a wall of booths with curtains you could close for more privacy on 1 side. They definitely get points for being wheelchair accessible and including a small lift inside to take people from the level of the main entrance down to the level of the side entrance. They were also very good with food allergies. I wouldn't necessarily pick this place to come back to, but wouldn't be mad if I ended up here.

McCormick & Schmicks used to be my go to place for happy hour after work but when they took away some of their specials we stopped going. But we decided to try again and they did bring back the shrimp and shucks special but now they're $2 instead of $1 and on Friday now. Still a good deal so we look forward to going back. The food we had was really good and service was great. The inside bar area where we were at for happy hour is lively and plays good music. Some inconsistencies about parking validation. When we were here several months ago they did not validate, which was another reason we started going to happy hour elsewhere. This visit they did validate our parking. Overall good experience and we'll be back to try the $2 shrimp and shucks.

Seared Ahi Tuna and sticky rice.
Julianna M.

I did not realize the ahi tuna would be spicy upon ordering it, and the flavor was just okay but not entirely to my liking. I would have preferred more rice. "Lucky You're Cute" cocktail was fruity and sweet, a little too sweet, but gave me a good kick, nonetheless.

Crispy Classic Calamari, carpaccio
Catherine Z.

Service was absolutely phenomenal, our waitress was hilarious and fantastic. The food was decent, not quite worth the price tag. The filet mignon was nothing spectacular. The apps (calamari and carpaccio) were good

buttercake
Alejandra B.

Such an underwhelming restaurant :-( Service + Atmosphere was nice! No complaints in the people or beauty of the restaurant. The food is where this restaurant lacks hard. I had the lobster bisque which was my favorite thing! So creamy and yummy, not fishy at all. I also tasted the clam chowder, which was great tasting! "Truffle" Macaroni had no trace of truffle taste, and was very bland and flavorless. Don't reccomend. Fish and chips were just bleh, nothing special, just deep fried fish and french fries. Tartar sauce didn't even taste like tartar. Sugar & Spice was good enough! Risotto was nice, and the salmon looked beautiful. Not enough butternut squash purée... Lastly, the buttercake itself was fine! However, it was heavily topped with strawberries (not stated on the menu), and I guess the chef decided to garnish with balsamic glaze which I mistaken for chocolate. I found that very odd. I immediately told the server about the balsamic glaze: he took it back, got it re-plated, and came back and explained on behalf of the chef that he believes the strawberries and balsamic glaze go together. I appreciate the chefs perspective and taste, but, the menu doesn't state i'd be receiving strawberries and balsamic glaze with my buttercake. Not a fun surprise. Overall, I would love to come back for only the lobster bisque. :-)

We visit this location every time we're here to go to Disneyland. Very beautiful, relaxing and clean. Excellent service, the hospitality was superb. We enjoy all the food but one downside was the wygu burger being removed from the menu. This place is excellent

Lunch menu
Lisa P.

We were greater by the manager. We arrived when they opened. No one in the restaurant and waiting a few minutes to be seated for our reservation. The sourdough bread was warm, delicious and perfect with soft butter. The fettuccine was tasty but the scallops are super tiny. Now for the Chinese salad. The dressing tasted like soy sauce only. No favor no sweetness. The chicken was slice in thick slices rather than shredded. I definitely will not order the entree again. We dined during the lunch hour. The music was a little high on the volume. Maybe it's different when more people are in the restaurant. Recommend reducing the volume. The waiter automatically uses my rewards points rather than asking me. Was a little disappointed about that because saving the points for a birthday celebration this month.

We celebrated our anniversary at The Ranch and had a really nice night. The vibe is upscale but…read morestill cozy, perfect for a special occasion, and the servers were super friendly. We had scallops and the ceviche trilogy to start, and by then we were already pretty full. For the main, we shared the 58 oz Prime Angus Cowboy Ribeye; it was a lot of food, so we definitely took some home. We also had two glasses of sparkling rosé. Overall, great food, great service, and a perfect anniversary spot.

His level of customer service is what I've always appreciated about The Ranch ever since Rito moved on. The service here has consistently been top notch and has never let us down. This visit, the food fell a little short of the usual standard. The fries weren't very crispy, although the sides were still delicious. My Delmonico, which is normally super juicy and tender, came out closer to medium instead of medium rare and was also a touch cold. That said, The Ranch is still one of my favorite spots in OC. If the kitchen can consistently match the high standards and execution that the servers provide, this place will easily stay at the top as one of the best steakhouse experiences in Orange County.

Visited Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar and had a very positive experience…read more The steak was well-prepared and cooked to the right temperature, with great flavor and quality. Sides complemented the meal nicely, and everything was served in a timely manner. The restaurant has an upscale, polished atmosphere. Service was attentive and professional without being intrusive. A reliable choice for a classic steakhouse experience.

We were here on a random Thursday and the restaurant had clear staffing issues…read more Walked in without a reservation upon looking at their online system that showed ample availability. The hostess directed us to a super busy bar, even though there were tons of open tables. I don't think they had the wait staff available to serve tables. The bartenders were absolutely busting their butts managing all restaurant drinks, bar patrons, refilling drinks, and cleaning. They were even waiting on actual tables?! Honestly mad respect to how they were balancing everything and putting on a friendly face for customers and we tipped them accordingly. I would've had a mental breakdown. This led to us not receiving service or water until around 15 minutes in, place settings 30 minutes in, and didn't get a first bite of food until 45 minutes in. There was also a dish towel next to my place setting. The food was mostly solid. Filet mignon and corn brulee were great, but the other dishes like sea bass, mashed potatoes, and asparagus were average at best, typical of a chain restaurant. The sea bass was dry and tasteless and comparable to one going to Costco, getting a frozen sea bass, and pouring some soy sauce and sesame oil on it. The mashed potatoes also weirdly hardened up as the meal went on. Not sure if it was a one-off staffing issue that day, but it was a pretty bad experience for this caliber of restaurant and management should take note. A customer should not notice the clear understaffing while paying a couple hundred dollars for dinner.

I love sitting and watching the bartenders work their magic with the drinks. The lounge is dark but not so dark you cannot see. It is very relaxing and tranquil actually. The drinks are amazing (I got a vodka martini, ice cold in the prettiest glass with blue cheese stuffed olives). The staff is amazing, very nice and made sure we were doing ok throughout our stay. I believe from 5 on they have live music (jazz) which was pretty cool as well. Plenty of seat whether at the bar or in one of the cozy seats surrounding the bar top. There is a selection of bites as well (but we had just eaten lunch so we'll need to go back to try stuff out). Drinks were tasty, they range depending on what you get (my martini was $20 and worth every penny). My Mom had the brambleberry and really enjoyed it. She said it was light and perfect after all the wondering around we did. Can't wait to go back.

We ordered through DoorDash Food was delicious!…read more Ordered a 13oz rib eye and 9oz center cut sirloin Cook: medium The steaks were cooked perfectly. We got Aussie fries (seasoned fries) loaded baked potato (came soft) with all the fixings The blooming onion (fried onions) And bacon Mac and cheese Comes with a loaf of brown bread and butter All the sides were great! If I had one comment I'd say the blooming onion was on the saltier side Would definitely order from this place again!

Updating my experience with Outback Steakhouse after this most recent order…read more We typically enjoy ordering from here, especially the ribs but this time the experience was a bit inconsistent compared to usual. The ribs still had good flavor but they were noticeably drier than previous orders & not as tender or saucy as we're used to. The mac & cheese also seemed a bit lighter on cheese & sauce this time & the mashed potatoes had a slight powdery taste. One ongoing issue we've had is that utensils & napkins are often missing from our orders. This has happened multiple times & it's especially frustrating when ordering meals like ribs & sides that clearly require them. It really affects the convenience of a delivery meal when those basics aren't included. On a positive note the kids grilled cheese was good & our toddler enjoyed it. We do usually like ordering from here so we're hoping this was just an off day but consistency & attention to packaging details would really improve the overall experience.
