About this business
The history of McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurants began when Bill McCormick purchased Jake's Famous Crawfish Restaurant located in Portland, Oregon, and brought the more than 100-year-old landmark back to life. When asked the secret of how he revitalized a restaurant on the brink of closing, McCormick says, "I like nothing better than being a good host." Part of the managerial talent McCormick tapped was Doug Schmick, a management trainee. The two formed a partnership in 1974, creating Traditional Concepts, a precurso... read more

Good place to take out of towners – I loved the location of this restaurant. It is in front of the harbor with a river view. My husband and i have been there a few times and have never had to wait for a table. I personally liked the way the restaurant has tiered seating. I liked the ambiance of this place. The dress code is dressy casual. I agree with some of the other reviews as far as the prices, they are a little high . The food is good, but nothing out of this world. Service is a little slow but friendly. I think this is... read more
All about hype – M&S has become somewhat of a local institution among the yuppie and upper class blue-hair set. Riding mostly on location and lots of money to spend on atmosphere, all of the restaurants in this chain, including the Harborside, have ridden a wave. Many people go here because of the lovely location on the Willamette, but the chances of seeing the river from inside this cavernous place are slim, especially if you go during a busy hour. The service in the restaurant tends to be decent, though it's such a huge pl... read more
Seafood, waterfront views and microbrews--this place has it all. – In Short This eatery's waterfront location and upscale-yet-casual ambience make it popular among everyone from prom-goers to groups celebrating special occasions--and the multi-tiered layout ensures views from every table. Skillfully prepared traditional seafood is to be expected. Good options include local salmon and sturgeon, grilled swordfish and oysters on the half-shell. Steaks are consistently good, as well. Beer is serious business here, with a dozen o... read more
Disappointed No More.... – I took my family here for Easter dinner. First we had reservations, and still had to wait 10 minutes for a table, and there were plenty open. We were very disappointed with the food and the service. I ordered the Top Sirloin, which was too chewy and had no flavor at all. Actually, my whole meal had no flavor, the mashed potatoes and brocolli, none. My son ordered the Marlin, which he said was good, but very tiny for the price. I would not reccomend this place at all for the food. It was way over pr... read more
Bring Your Appetite! – The waterfront only added to the whole experience. This is a place to go for an evening out, not just dinner. The bar was great for people watching, the appetizers were fast and delicious, and the service was immpecable. We didn't have reservations but they were able to fit us in, even on a Friday night. By the way, the beer-cheese soup is fantastic. The tiered seating made it seem more private without people on both sides, and the brighter lighting was a refreshing change to the dark dim booths where ... read more
Capitalizing on Location – Portland has some of the best restaurants however Haborside definitely is not one of them. Ambience: It's like sitting in the movie "Goodfellas". The decor is just plain awful and being sat on the top tier, the overhead lights blare in your eyes. The tier system is gaudy and outdated and the only value to it is an unobstructed view to the river. Food: For $20 you can get a rubbery dry overcooked piece of Fiji Ono. I have not sent a dish back in years however, this was unedible. The Chef replied tha... read more
The best barkeeps in town!!!! – I've been all over Portland's bar scene being a barkeep myself and I must say that Matt and Ryan are by far the most entertaining bartending duo in PDX. These two guys are hilarious to watch and listen to. When a crazy song comes on (80's music), they'll use the espresso machine's steam to liven the joint up. You just have to go and check them out. By the way ladies, they're single.
Prime real estate and that's it! – We ate at Harborside last night with a group of 9, most of whom were from out of town and wanted to eat outdoors and enjoy a view - naturally we made a reservation at Harborside. Our server was really, really bad - he seemed like he was trying to ignore us. Serving a table of 9 isn't easy but we had to go to great lengths to get his attention to refresh drinks, get missing parts of our dinner, etc. Good thing gratuity is tacked on automatically because he didn't deserve more than 5%.

Beer Cheese Soup – Over the past few years I have frequented Harborside and the Pilsner Room. Although the food was wonderful, the service has Always been extrodinarily AWFUL. This has not stopped me from enjoying the experience, only limiting the amount of time spent in this establishment. I management would pay attention to their servers as they do their quality of food I would make it my regular stomping grounds. I would also advise anyone that makes it in on a Friday to have the Beer Cheese soup. Unfortunalty it was take... read more
