Best Seafood Restaurants in North Hills

It was chaotic and the servers/valet/chefs/reception personnel were handling it with Grace and patience. The food was awesome and the buffets were kept filled. It was a very special outing with a special group of friends celebrating a wonderful holiday season. I would highly recommend the grand concourse for any special occasion.

We have an annual get together at Christmas every year at Eddie Merlot's. We sit in the bar area and look at the holiday tree. We told our server we were there for a leisurely dinner and he honored that. He didn't rush us at all and coursed our dinner as such. He made great recommendations and helped convinced me to trg the elk chop. It was fantastic. Everything was great until the end when we were told that parking was no longer validated. That had been in place since the restaurant opened and has been a differentiator from other steakhouses. That was disappointing.

My parents and I had a lovely meal at McCormick and Schmick's to celebrate my mother's birthday. All three of us loved our dinner choices: parmesian encrusted flounder, the burbon-glazed salmon, and the crab and shrimp-stuffed salmon. Our server, Tiffany, was attentive and helpful, suggesting we try the apple pie and cinamon ice cream for dessert--delicious! A short walk to the Benedum and Heinz Hall, McCormick and Schmick's is our go-to restaurant when we have theater or concert tickets downtown. They never disappoint!

Spent our anniversary there and they went out of their way to do a little something special for us. Also, the crab cakes are the best I have ever eaten.

I booked through Open Table, alerting the that we had someone having a birthday and that I would bring candles for dessert and it was a SURPRISE. When we arrived, the gentleman discreetly whispered he had read my message and the server would take the candles. So far so good. No sooner we are seated, the server comes to greet us and blurts out so "we have a birthday here who's is it?". I give her a look like "what are you doing?". She takes our drink order then blabs out "so are we putting candles on the dessert?" What the heck was this girl thinking? WHY would you ever blab that out at the table? 1. the note said it was a surprise 2. even if not she should have been discreet about it. She ruined something very special - it may seem like just a surprise but there was much more to it. I whispered to her that it is a surprise and I don't think she either cared that she ruined it or that she understood she was a blabbermouth. Then as we discussed ordering the lobster bisque, she throws shade at the kitchen staff - something about since they decided to change things t taking long since it's made to order. Had she said they make it to order so it will take a little longer that would have been fine. It was the way she said it - she was dissing her kitchen staff. So already she has earned 2 big strikes for her service. Strike 3 is the dinners were ready and the table was not cleared from the appetizers and soups. I had to clear it for her so she had a space for the dinner plates. Strike 4 is I ask for containers - she clearly sees there's a lot of food but brings 1 small container. I had to ask for more, then ask again for a bag. Someone please train this waitress. I think she wants to do right but desperately needs training. The food was ok; bisque was luke warm, salmon was luke warm. Expensive for what you get.
