Restaurant Review: McCormick & Scmick's

On the second of January, I had the opportunity to go and try McCormick & Schmick's. It's a higher end surf and turf style restaurant on the Plaza here in Kansas City. Trying new restaurants is kind of my jam, so I was excited to head down there.

To start off, we of course ordered drinks. I forget their cheeky restaurant names, but on the left was a drink that combined Guinness and Blue Moon, and on the right a drink that had Blue Moon, Hard Cider, and OJ. Mine was the drink on the right and it might be my new FAVORITE. We also ordered calamari and a crab cake with avocado and mango. YUM.

 

For the main course, we decided to go the seafood route. The dish on the left is the Ultimate Mixed Grill and came with Stuffed Shrimp, Grilled Shrimp, Seared Scallops, and Grilled Salmon. The dish on the right was one of their basic fish dishes. Both came with potatoes and green beans, but we ordered extra Red Pepper & White Cheddar mashed potatoes, as well as mushrooms.

 

 

Overall, I really enjoyed the restaurant. We had a reservation so it made it much more accommodating. People who did not have reservations were waiting for 2+ hours, whereas we walked right in to our table. The food was delicious and the service was good as well. It was a great experience! We were not disappointed.

As a bonus, a fun snap shot of the Plaza lights - because you can't go to the Plaza without staring at them during the winter - and my piece of cheesecake from the Cheesecake factory. It's okay to drool. :)
