quick happy hour meal

A quick happy hour meal with friends. We came here during the afternoon after watching knocked up… the waiters are polite and funny. The food is good, portion not too small…

A welcome addition to downtown Bellevue's dining options.

I love the ambiance at McCormick and Schmick’s… dark wood. velvety curtains, soft lighting and loads of paintings of fish and local historical photos make it an ideal place to go for date night. I went to the Lincoln Square restaurant for Sunday brunch and for dinner and both times, left very satisfied.

The service is hit-or-miss. While we had an excellent server at our table (he even came back to say hello when we went back there for dinner a week later), the hostesses at the front desk were rather unfriendly and lacked the attentiveness I was expecting.

The food beats all though: with a daily menu that changes for every meal based on what the catch of the day is, you’re sure that none of the ingredients in your meal are stale. Drinks, likewise, are excellent. They mix a mean cosmo here. On both visits, I enjoyed at least two courses and I’m sure I’ll be visiting more often and will check out their happy hour at least once.

What I ate:
  • ****

    This was a gigantic plate of calamari with three very different dipping sauces – a spicy red hot sauce, a sweeter green sauce and a mild cream sauce. The portions were so generous, this could have been a meal on its own.

  • ****

    The fish was perfectly fried and was light and flavourful. I wasn’t a huge fan of the sides though — I liked the mashed potatoes, but the capers and the onions leaked their flavour onto them and made things rather bad-breath inducing.

  • *****

    Just the right amount of cranberry juice, lime juice and vodka, this one went down extra-smooth.

  • *****

    I’m a huge fan of ahi tuna and this was exceptional. The tuna was perfectly seared around the edges and soft and raw on the inside, and the sesame seed coating was a nice complement. Jasmine rice and sesame oil with a side of Asian vegetables added a nice touch of Asian flavour.

  • *****

    Yum! You get a chocolate bread pudding, creme brulee and a berry pie in little ramekins. Each of these is a nice complement to the other and are served warm.

Cool dips, stale chips

I came for a late-night happy hour and to escape the massive windstorm that left the rest of the area without power. I didn’t get the 1/2 pound burger this time, but instead enjoyed an assortment of other well-priced happy hour appetizers.

The service was a tad slow, though understandable given the large crowd trying to escape the power outages. The disappointment of the evening were the stale chips, and the lack of a satisfactory replacement for them.

If you’re coming here for happy hour, make sure to arrive a bit early to ensure you have a seat – the bar area tends to fill up fast.

What I ate:
  • *

    The hummus was great, but the chips were as stale as cardboard, and there were no other chips to be found. Next time I’ll request grilled tortilla strips in place of the chips.

  • ***

    Good dip, but a tad over-fried.

  • ****

    Tasty, solid choice. I’d get this again next time.

Seafood is everything here!

It’s not hip or trendy, it’s awesome seafood! I keep going the one in Lake Union, dinner at waterfront with slightly dimmed table can be very romantic, even for a family dinner (my dad likes it too). My first two salmon tries were not as good as expected, a little overdone; the later two crusted fish fillet tries were almost perfect if they come with bigger portion (~I am usually not that greedy).

Yay to a cheep happy hour!

Cheap happy hour and the food is pretty good! I have eaten at the restaurant section once, but I don’t remember what I got. I remember it being good though. But not to piss people off, the restaurant area seems to be filled with “older” people. Not that I’m saying that it’s a bad thing, but it’s not the “hippest” place to hang out.

But, like I said, the food is good!
